标题: P1-57 / P2-77

57. The Anasazi settlements at Chaco
Canyon were built on a spectacular scale with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a complex regional system of roads.

A. with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were

B. with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,

C. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each that had been

D. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each

E. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms each had been

正确答案是B,疑问就是of这里离scale这么远，还能修饰它么？我看解释是明白的，但是如果要我做我是无论如何都做不出来正确答案的，nn们说一下你们做这道题的思路呢？谢谢

MM,这一题偶也做错鸟。。。

不过根据意思，up to 600 rooms怎么也不可能修饰structure，自然CDE就会被排除掉。

剩下来的A和B，A中的were明显多余了，前面已经出现了谓语were了，所以只能选B鸟

要我在1分钟里完成，我肯定也错了。。。

不是很懂这道题目，可以麻烦解释一下么？

我最初的理解是 settlements were built (on a scale) with ... structures, (structures) of 600 rooms each, (structures) connected by.... structures做后面每个有600间房子和被...连接的逻辑主语。

看了很久还是不明白这个题目的修饰关系

up up!!!!

快考试了，这prep第一道就把我挣死了，期待NN能帮忙分析一下结构！！！

The settlements were built on a spectacular scale with structures (of up to 600 rooms each) connected by .....

Does the sentence look simple now? The red words can be omitted.

贴个nn地解释，看到后自己就保存下来了，

我对这道题目有不同的解释。我总觉得如果of... 也用来修饰scale的话就应该和with短语并列，那并列为什么不用and连接而用逗号呢，这是并列的大忌啊。我觉得B选项是一个标准的独立主格，of 用来修饰settlements.只是语序改了一下
        应该是each of (settlements) up to 600 rooms. 为什么要倒装呢？
        原因是connected那个分词短语。
        分词短语放在句尾只能用来修饰前面的名词，所以不得不把each后置用connected来修饰，表示每个settlement间用啥啥连接。不知道这样
        理解对否～

多谢chasedreamtrue mm，我今天也找到了这个解释，和我想的差不多。

mbz 大侠：

你认为of up to 600 rooms each是修饰structures的吗？如果是这样，那connected就也是说structures的了，可是structures怎么可能connected by roads？所以我觉得of up...each是修饰settlements的。请指教！

Yes, MBZ is right. The structures are connected, the rooms can not be.

Think about it logically, if there are 75 structures, each has 500 rooms. Can each room be connected by roads? Nope because rooms are inside each building.

我又看了下题，竟然发现structure有建筑物的意思！！太大意了我，原来只知道有结构的意思。。如果是建筑物，那of up to 600 rooms each和connected都修饰它是完全正确的，谢谢马甲gg~~~

明白啦，真开心！

作者: doudoulovely 时间: 2007-7-19 11:24

同意of结构修饰structures,意思为每个建筑物有600个rooms,

如果修饰settlements 意思难以理解， of 结构用双逗号隔开使插入语， with .....connected 是独立主格形势修饰主语settlements,望大家予以指正

同意doudoulovely's 解释. connected 是修饰主语 settlements.

贴一个外国人的解释:
choice a is a run-on - it tries to have two main verbs without using
any sort of subordinating element. if you take out modifiers,
adjectives, etc., you're left with the following: the settlements were built with structures were connected. that's bad.



choice b is correct: it uses a nonessential modifier set off by commas
('of up to 600 rooms each'), which, if eliminated, yields the intact
and legitimate sentence ...carefully engineered structures, connected by... (with another nonessential modifier).



choice c:

- 'scale of' doesn't make sense

- you can't say 'each that had...' (can't follow 'each' with a relative
pronoun - if you're going to use a relative pronoun, it has to come
directly after the thing it's trying to modify)

- no justification for using the past perfect ('had been') - that
verb, if there's a verb there at all, should be in the simple past (the
same tense as everything else in the sentence, because everything
described in the sentence is contemporaneous)

- it doesn't make sense to use 'each' AFTER the comma, because it's not true that each structure was connected with a road system.  instead, the road system connected all of the structures with each other,
which is nowhere close to the same thing. (having 'each' BEFORE the
comma makes sense, because it's actually true that each of the
structures comprised up to 600 rooms.)

analogy:

    the USA comprises 50 states, each of which is united by a federal government --> wrong (the implication is that each state has its own federal government)

    the USA comprises 50 states, all of which are united by a federal government --> correct

    the USA comprises 50 states, (all) united by a federal government --> correct, whether you have 'all' or not



choice d:

- 'scale of' doesn't make sense

- the use of AND sets up ostensible parallelism, but the two structures given aren't parallel (one starts with of and the other with with)



choice e is also a run-on sentence (you'll see this if you reduce it to its 'skeleton', a la choice a)

标题: 这个PP是什么版本的？？

我也有一些PP的问题，看了些讨论，发现和我的题号都不一样啊？我版本的第一题是

1. To meet the rapidly rising market demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.

(A) their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment

(B) their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut

(D) they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment

(E) they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut

我是打算2010年考的，现在做这个过时么？望大侠赐教~
