标题: [求助]prep 22

22. As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning applications.

A. As the former
B. The former
C. Former
D. She was
E. As the

错了不只一遍了

想问一下可否这样理解：JP是做了18年的主席，不是做了18年的前主席，所以不要former？

版版，你太伟大了。

这题俺也错了，而且就是看不明白FINDJUHL的解释'the former chair 和
18 consecutive years 意思有重复', 你可真实一语道破天机。的确former chair可不是一个官衔，也没有18年的任期！

我觉得还是看平行，还有逻辑：

22. As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning applications.

你看看这两个部分： board指的是一个board,都是为这个board干活，那么后面没有former前面也不该有啊，，，

其实。。。这道题我也错过。。。。

比较bt...

请问 PREP 20 在哪里有下载的?

作者: gonghao 时间: 2007-3-28 14:08

选A的意思就是：以做了18年的前任主席的身份参加了。。。。。

选E：以做了18年主席的身份，他参加了N多的会议。

这个题目真绕。。。

的确former chair可不是一个官衔，也没有18年的任期！

那么如果我们要用fomer 要怎么才算一个正确的句子呵
请问YY_lalalaYY_lalalaYY_lalala

why not A? Won't the meaning will change with E?

A is incorrect because "former" is not needed with Joan attended after the coma.



Am I right?



Nitin

E for me too.



In this question, the qualifier "former" is redundant because the
question does not focus on "when" (i.e the point in time) she was the
chair. The focus is on the point that when she was chair she attended
400 meetings and ...



So as the point in time is not relevant, the qualifier former is unnecessary.

不知道上面这三个老外的对话对大家看待这个former 有没有启发，

作者: qiuzhen28 时间: 2007-4-6 21:14
Please note that the use of the word former cannot be correct here. Why!!

because paul attended meetings and reviewed applications not as the former chair. no one attends meetings/reviews applications as former chair. but only if he was the sitting chair at the time the meetings were held.

so only choice E conveys that message.

这个老外的解释能不能是终结了

我也同意是former是redundant。。。。

作者: ibmpcs 时间: 2007-12-3 18:53

感觉还是英语和汉语的表达方式的区别。中文说“作为前主席，...”就是很顺口，所以错在A上。估计母语是英语的考生会错的少，GMAC不公平。

哪一年有中文GMAT，也出这道题，让国外的考生讨论为啥正确答案是A。

标题: 这应该是副词省略子句的用法

原题应该是As ( Joan Philkill was ) the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years,

Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning applications.

但因为 Joan Philkill 为主词, 前后主词相同 ,故可以取消副词子句中的主词 , 而动词was改成分词bing (可省略)

才会变成现在看到那样,不知道我说的对不对....欢迎指教

原来如此……有点意思……当时真被绕进去了呢……
