标题: 两道看似简单但不知道知识点就很难做对的题目

    

? Q13:


    

A leading figure
in the Scottish enlightenment, Adam Smith’s two major books are to
democratic capitalism what
Marx’s Das Kapital is to socialism.


    
  1. Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic
         capitalism what
  2. Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic
         capitalism like
  3. Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic
         capitalism just as
  4. Adam Smith wrote two major books that are
         to democratic capitalism similar to
  5. Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to
         democratic capitalism what

    

这句话什么意思啊。答案E:books that are to democratic capitalismdemocratic是形容词呀,所以若后面加what,那岂不是把democratic当成动词了?D又错在哪里呢?

? Q4:


    

A new hair-growing
drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, as the
drug’s maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.


    
  1. as
  2. than
  3. that
  4. of what
  5. at which        
                        
    答案是D,这个题是在考哪个知识点呢?还望XDJM指点

考点是都是比较结构中的对称原则.

Q13是个特殊结构 A to B is C to D  A就B而言相当于C就D而言.                                 democratic当然是形容词,  democratic capitalism 等于socialism

Q4 xx times sth 某某的多少倍

of...介词短语修饰the price.

对称的是价格, the price =  what the drug's maker charges..... 

of...介词短语修饰the price.

对称的是价格, the price =  what the drug's maker charges.....

谢谢mm,第一道题我明白了。可第二道还有些疑问:既然划线部分是修饰前面那个price的,直接选c不就行了?that引导的定语从句。

这两题我现在都不会,第一题没有什么道理,据说是一个习惯用法。

第2题也不懂 :(  你弄明白了,要告诉我哦

好的,没问题!期待思故和楼下的解答。。。。。。。

第2题历史争议题答案在C,D之间争议着,我倾向选D

第1题思故MM解释的很好,此题也是托福语法题,LZ最好自己搜索GWD讨论贴,因为我不知道你做的是GWD第几套,没法帮你搜了 呵呵

1。插入语“, per milligram, ”使句子分散成为非限制性定语从句,非限制性定语从句中通常只能用which不能用that, 且非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开在。我们这道题可不是附加说明而是必要解释。

 

2. 即便跳过插入语“, per milligram, ”来看,认为它是限制性定语从句。C选项的that所代替的先行词在从句中作宾语,此时必须省略(GMAT)。中学语法只说可以省略。

谢谢思故的祥解,受益匪浅,我懂了,mm你真厉害

谢谢遥远的绿洲的建议。

以后大家多多讨论哦,1+1〉2嘛!

Thanks for your input, but I am sorry to say, I cannot agree...

from my perspective, I will vote for C"that"...of what redundant and ill idiomatic... (that)跳跃修饰 it has nothing to do with restrictive clause...with "semicolon",  we don't necessarily use which/what...here..."," is just used to seperate per milligram....


作者: ogram    时间: 2007-2-16 23:30

我认为第二题选C,

D中的“3 times the price of what ... charges... ”说不通

根据句意,这里的what 就是指the price,难道说“3 times the price of the price...”?说不通!

C中的that 虽然可以省,但不省也没错!

Where did LZ find the second question? I believe it's C.


作者: strout    时间: 2007-2-18 23:49

OK. price of is an idiom. Guess we have to remeber it as it is.

longman:

We were shocked by the price of a cup of coffee in London.

The
                
price

            
of fuel keeps

            
going up
.

Tesco is selling
                    
two

                
bottles of champagne

                
for the price of one
!

谢谢strout 的功课!大家的思维和知识在讨论中被扩展,是件非常好的事情。

此题出自:GWD-4-Q4 我也做了一点点功课,发现MM的这个问题很受关注,有很多讨论贴。有兴趣地可以用题号搜索一下。虽然很多人呼吁修改答案,但看来讨论没有最终定论。我的总结和想法是:

 

支持选c的人大部分认为that做定语修饰price,随可省可不省,但有也不是错。强烈反对D的人或用分析介词来否定"of what".  如charge sth at XX, charge xx for sth, 或用the price of price又重复啰嗦之罪名。既然我们有GMAT权威给出的答案D,靠近它的思维对我们做对题会有很大的帮助。大家可以先问一下自己“这本题考点应该在哪儿?” 应该仅考一个插入语定语从句吗?从句子整体看,我认为难点应该在倍数比较,且中间有插入语干扰。

A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, as
                        
the drug’s  maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.

  1. as
                            
  2. than
                            
  3. that
                                
  4. of what
                                
  5. at which

看原句第一反应是比较:three times the price as不对。

语法点一---倍数表达three times + the + Noun Phrase
                            

It was over twice the distance of the earth from the sun. 那是地球到太陽的距離的兩倍多

语法点二---比较结构

what...charges...中,what引导名词性从句修饰限定了another product的price的具体内容。个人感觉选that有解释的功能但失去了比较的意义。

欢迎有不同意见的nn们来指教。


作者: prfdu2005    时间: 2007-2-19 21:21
好开心看到大家在讨论中进步,我还是认为选d. 因为我认为what就是指price,而且做charge的宾语。如:charge 3 dollars for sth.  思故,对吗?
另外,有道题问思故

    

The particular
design of muscles and bones in the neck and limbs of the turtle allow


    

that it can
draw in its exposed parts such that an
attacker can find nothing


    

but hard shell to
bite.


    

A.     allow that it can draw in its exposed parts
such that


    

B.     allow it to draw in its exposed parts, and
so


    

C.     allows for it to draw in its exposed parts
and that


    

D.     allows that it can draw in its exposed
parts, and so


    

E.      allows it to draw in its exposed parts, so
that


    答案是de是错在so that之前不可以加逗号吗?

首先,charge XX for sth 是正确并常用的。

谢谢MM对我的信任,但这道题真难住我了 我也选了E, 虽然有逗号在so that前。D很难让我理解,其一allow that...是“承认...”的意思,这里应该是allow sb to do sth。其二,that...so...的倒用使原句逻辑不通,因果倒置了吧?!

再去查查回来吧!

D.     allows that it can draw in its exposed

E.      allows it to draw in its exposed parts, so
that


 答案是de是错在吗?

The answer is E.  so that之前加逗号 is fine.

D is wrong for two reasons:

1) allows + clause is not a correct form. You can only say allows+ n.

2) in standard English, when there is a so, there must be a that after.

As for the second question above, the answer is C: that.  I have expressed in detail in another link below, and don't want to repeat here.

个人觉得,the price that = what,应该选C。
