标题: prep13

13 A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

a) that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing

b) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in

c) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

d) creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in

e) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

 

A:resulting from increasing

B:as a result of an increase in

C:as a result of increasing

D:resulting from an increase in

E:resulted from increasing

请教以上result和increase的用法都对吗?有什么区别阿?

我觉得这里只体现有两种用法(1)as a result of(2)result from,而且都是前果后因,都正确

increase的用法也都正确,increasing我觉得是形容词,修饰sea surface

 an increase in  OG上有很多例子,比如

162. Concerned at the increase in accident fatalities,

Tennessee adopted a child-passenger protection law requiring the parents of children under four years of age to be restrained in a child safety seat.

(A)  the parents of children under four years of age to be restrained in a child safety seat

(B)   the restraint of parents of children under four years of age in a child safety seat

(C)  that parents restrain children under four years of age in a child safety seat

(D)  that children be restrained under four years of
                    age in a child safety seat by their parents

(E)   children to be restrained under four years of age
                    by their parents in a child safety seat

as a result of与result from都对的。这题A中的resulting分词结构修饰dwindling food supplies也没有语法上的错误。

醉兄,刚才经过一翻讨论,偶对这道题的A又有了新的理解:它不符合逻辑意思

temperatures increase导致的结果是“食物减少”(food supplies dwindling),而不是“减少了的食物”(dwindling food supplies)。

仔细体会一下。

我认为这道题a,b,c三个选项的主要差别就在逻辑含义上

仔细体会其细微差别,只有B是合理的

体会不出来,请教weiwangyan  谢谢

重看这题我觉得A错在dwindling food supplies   此题的考点应在diction

i think “food supplies are dwindling” is more correctly and effectively reflect the apprpriate part of speech.

或者我们可以说: suffer from the shortage of the food

IMO逻辑表达区别确实存在,但如果因此说A有逻辑错误,似乎有点牵强。

8过,偶这题做错了,发言可信度不高

wei_wangyan斑斑的意思是不是:

dwindling food supplies的中心词在于food supply,那么suffering from dwindling food supplies就变成了suffer from food supply,逻辑不通。用because从句能够清晰突出动作,从而避免逻辑谬误呢?

是结果导致了SUFFER,而不是持续动作

这下明白了 谢谢jj

再看了一遍,觉得是不是resulting from是修饰前句主语study,但as a result of修饰宾语从句的内容呢?

OG的题目:

113In AD391resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria, later generations lost all but the Iliad and Odyssey among Greek epicsmost of the poetry of Pindar and Sapphoand dozens of plays by Aeschylus and Euripides

(A)  resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria

(B)  the destroying of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria resulted and

(C)  because of the result of the destruction of the library at Alexandriathe largest of the ancient world

(D)  as a result of the destruction of the library at Alexandriathe largest of the ancient world

(E)  Alexandria's largest library of the ancient world was destroyedand the result was (D)

答案对A的resulting from是这么解释的:

Because it is introduced by a participlethe phrase that begins resulting from illogically modifies later generations

但是两个resulting from的位置不同。。

另外,好像OG里面很少用increasing这种说法,表上升会说rising, soaring,是不是GMAT不是很prefer increasing的缘故。。

我的理解:
                

A: from + doing不够准确表达句子意思;from dwindling food supplies存在岐义的可能,有可能from加动名词dwindlingfrom supplies;同理increasing sea surface temperaturesincreasing这里应表示的是过程,实际要求表现的是结果(个人对此排除依据有保留);resulting位于句末即有作结果状语的可能,逻辑意思有误。

B: correct,使用条件从句完整的主谓结构保证避免修饰岐义,将increasing改为名词increase避免出现做动名词或形容词修饰,将resulting改为as a result避免分词短语的功能混乱。
                

C: because of + 名词,没有准确表达句子意思
                

D: revealed一种动物,而不是revealed一种状况,改变了句意
                

E: which不能用来表示结果状语

请问本题后半句是跟着because句的,还是和suffering并列的?

that creatures of the seabed were suffering( because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in)

that creatures of the seabed were suffering (because food supplies were dwindling, )possibly as a result of an increase in

也就是想问温度的增加造成的结果是food supplies 减少,还是creature的suffering?
