标题: T-4-Q12 again (新prep 2-177)

T-4-Q12

For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing an average of 2,275 gallons of mild each per year.

providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing
providing them with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces
provided with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing
provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces
provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce

Why choose E? 和"For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool"的逻辑关系？

What's the logic behind it?

作者: xie999999999 时间: 2007-4-20 20:26

provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly的逻辑主语是cows，不能选a或b，providing 修饰的主体有歧义，也讲不通；

For the farmaer 。。。是目的状语，修饰奶牛产奶。

谢谢这位好心的GG！

不过and前面有个, 我觉得不好。。。

但也没有更好的了。。。

作者: springsound 时间: 2008-8-12 11:49

还是不明白...E项为什么不对,providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly可以视为是farmer作主语, providing, and milking作伴随状语吗?

For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool这个成分也还是没看懂....

作者: 爱林如梦 时间: 2008-10-11 12:48

有一种解释是，这个句子是个大倒装，正确的语序是　
Provided with high-energy feed, and miked regularly, Holstein cows will produce an average of 2,275 gallons of mild each per year for the farmer who takes care to keep them cool.

所以E是正确的。并且找分词的逻辑主语时，优先考虑句子的主语。所以E优于A。

再者，A中用的是现在进行时，感觉不好。句子明明是条件句啊。

作者: kuaidao 时间: 2008-12-18 13:30

明白鸟！

主要还是看逻辑意思：

A，后半句主动有歧义：

牛们给自己providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly

E被动：更好

providing的主语肯定不会是牛呀，是前面的farmers

我同意楼上说这句是个大倒装的说法

这样解释的很明白：）

Up!

这题很有蒙蔽性！

作者: lcy19812000 时间: 2009-4-30 16:44

5楼解释不对。

原文是这样的：（from “scienceonline”）

When it comes to milk production, nothing beats Holsteins. For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, sated with high-energy chow, and milked regularly—often under the management of a sophisticated computer—these familiar black-and-white cows produce an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year. The average Brown Swiss, in contrast, produced only 1,820 gallons last year, and a Jersey less than 1,600.

本题中cool，provided with，milked是平行关系，都是keep them的补语。句子整体结构是：for sb.，cows do sth.。

原文中，cool，sated，milked很明显是表状态的并列关系。而本题中把sated换作provided，让人感觉provided强调动作而非状态，不能与cool平行，造成考生的逻辑混乱。ETS真阴险！！！

另外，金山词霸讲provided with是“拥有”的意思（可以理解为表状态的词组，这种解释使它能与cool平行），但是LOngman中没有这种提法。

作者: lcy19812000 时间: 2009-4-30 17:02

再回一帖，b4 ETS，考平行，却用如此卑鄙的伎俩破环平行的逻辑！

真是可恶！！！

坚决打倒你，ETS！

那个……弱弱的问：为什么用将来时？

作者: YesWeCanWin 时间: 2009-5-20 11:29

老外的解释：

So, A should say "providing them with high energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing " This makes a list out of "to keep," "providing," and "milking" which is a list, but it fails the parallelism test. Also, the verb tense "are producing" is wrong - if the farmer takes care of them, they will respond a certain way. Eliminate A. (Note that I added a comma missing from the original text, above.)

B also has parallelism issues (providing, milked), as does C (provided and milking). D and E have parallelism with provided and milked, but they still don't match "to keep." And this is where this one gets really hard. Most people will want to keep this as a list of three things, with those three words properly parallel - and that would be a good way to write the sentence, but they haven't given us that option.

If we lopped off that opening clause, we'd have "Provided with high energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows..." That's okay. Then they add this separate clause out front (the "For the farmer" bit) and this is what makes it sound bad b/c we want to combine that opening clause with the provided and milked piece. Since we don't have that as an option, we're forced to look at them as separate items (though we do still want parallelism between provided and milked).

Then, we're just left with "produces" vs. "will produce" since D and E both use provided and milked. The sentence begins "For the farmer who takes care to keep THEM cool" so we have to use plural for the cows. Answer D uses singular, so E is the answer.

顶楼上，解释得真好

作者: china101 时间: 2009-6-11 17:24

谁能解释一下，for从句为什么是条件状从？我怎么就看不出来呢？我就是在d，e徘徊。。。

当然老外用单复数解释的也不错。。。

还有"and milked"前面为什么要加逗号？

我怎么觉得A挺靠谱的呢~

A. providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing我觉得没有歧义，既然providing后面接的是them就不可能会指代到单数farmer,也不可能指代到cows本身（因为如果指代cows那就一定会是themselves），根本不存在歧义。

退一步说假使A有歧义了，那E也有可能有歧义啊。E.provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly为什么就不会产生歧义去指代前面的farmer呢？

从gmat考核要求来说，E选项的语序颠倒也着实让我难以理解它为什么对。我记得Gmat考核要求句子简洁、易懂？

而E与之违背~

请高人指点！！

Ding....very good explanation..

作者: sumerlaw 时间: 2010-1-7 16:45
我的理解是这样的
For在句首表示原因,后面三个成分并列: the farmer/ provided/ milked 都是用来表示原因的,所以milked前面有",and"
介词结构结束后,主语cows出来了

作者: icefiremin 时间: 2010-1-23 00:35
觉得楼上的解释有问题，如果for表原因的话后面应该加完整的句子，但这里明显缺宾语。
我的理解是：
for the farmer是指生产给farmer，只不过这里为了强调farmer把它们照顾得好这一点而把它提前到句首了。其实正常的语序可以看是如下：
Provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce an average of 2,275 gallons of mild each per year for the farmer who takes care to keep them cool.
也就是把provided and milked当成过去分词结构修饰cows.

Original sentence: When it comes to milk production, nothing beats Holsteins. For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, sated with high-energy chow, and milked regularly—often under the management of a sophisticated computer—these familiar black-and-white cows produce an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year.The average Brown Swiss, in contrast, produced only 1,820 gallons last year, and a Jersey less than 1,600.

总结一下

1. for引导条件状从。
cool，provided with，milked是平行关系，都是keep them的补语。原句中cool，sated，milked很明显是表状态的并列关系。而本题中把sated换作provided，让人感觉provided强调动作而非状态，不能与cool平行，造成考生的逻辑混乱。要强调的是，provided with，milked，其动作发出者仍然是牛，被动-ed，过去分词修饰them(Cows)，表动作完成的状态。而后面主语是牛，动作发出者也清晰。
所以去掉A.B.C., D.E.对

2. 平行。
其实5个选项与KEEP都不平行，但是结合知识点1.分析，
D and E have parallelism with provided and milked, but they still don't match "to keep." And this is where this one gets really hard. Most people will want to keep this as a list of three things, with those three words properly parallel - and that would be a good way to write the sentence, but they haven't given us that option.

If we lopped off that opening clause, we'd have "

rovided with high energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows..." That's okay. Then they add this separate clause out front (the "For the farmer" bit) and this is what makes it sound bad b/c we want to combine that opening clause with the provided and milked piece. Since we don't have that as an option, we're forced to look at them as separate items (though we do still want parallelism between provided and milked).

3. 代词指代
未划线部分有Keep them cool, 所以主语一定是复数，排除B.D.

4. 时态（不是排除点）
大家要注意，时态是author oriented的，除非题目有明确时间指示与Since等指示词，否则不能作为一个Solid的排除点，像本题现在进行时和一般将来时

作者: momomoon 时间: 2010-5-7 16:19
关于在这里for引导状语从句这个说法有点怀疑。。。
如果for在这里做连词引导状从，后面应该加句子才对，但照楼上的总结cool, sated, miked平行作keep them的补语的话，那就等于for后面其实只有farmers这一个名词而不是句子，那for在这里就不可能是作连词引导状从。。所以楼上的这解释是不是有点自相矛盾？？

标题: for的意思是为……

另外我也觉得是keep them的平行结构。keep sb./sth. done的说法也是比较常见的。

作者: changyou 时间: 2010-8-14 17:16
for引导的就是一个对象，这里cool，跟provided，milked是平行的
to keep them 这里them指代的是牛，这样看来就是为了让它们保持......的状态
又因为单数特指不如复数好，所以选择E。
我觉得真到了考试的时候没人这么细究，累积的经验和语感，再有个大致的把握就够了……

顶一下，到底这个for the farmer 是个什么成分呢？

作者: gourmettsu 时间: 2011-9-25 19:18
我是这样理解的。
如果provide做伴随，那应该修饰take care，但是本身provide sth and milk regularly就是take care的两种具体方式，整体和部分无法伴随进行，所以ing形式不合逻辑。

首先根据划线外them 排除 B D
其次：A 中 providing them跟前后都无法搭配排除
最后：C 中 and milking them regularly 无平行对象

其实关键一点是把For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool 看成一个独立的部分，而不是把它看成是for引导的一个原因状语。但是 provide 跟milk确实可以由 farmer发出，所以很有迷惑性。
