标题: Prep中的代词指代现象

刚做了一圈破解的prep sc,不知道大家有没有发现,prep中代词指代错误被极大的弱化了?

最明显的就是ceo 这道题,标准答案竟然是 C !!!! (就算有争议那也没辙了,gmac就这么判)

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

 

  1. that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

  2. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

  3. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

  4. CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

  5. CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

我们之前用来排出,觉得有歧义的代词指代错误,在prep中好像都变得可以接受了. 我觉得是不是在不影响逻辑的基础上,不用太吹毛求疵,把歧义强加给别人。

我还有10天就考了,祝这个月的g友都能取得好成绩

这题是C吗。。。。lz可不可以解释一下。。。


作者: thierryf    时间: 2007-8-19 18:36

代词真的被弱化了吗?我代词指代老错,对这个不敏感阿。。。


作者: liBruce    时间: 2007-8-20 18:34

标准答案c  是prep系统自己给的

这道题其他选项都有点小问题,以前人们(包括新东方一些所谓的权威)一直认定是B,但b也确实有错误,不合逻辑啊

In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record, Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting East African cave paintings.

 

(A) Leakey contributed to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting

(D) Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and her painstaking documentation of

(E) Leakey's contributions to archaeology include discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstaking documentation of

还不如这一道代词指代所有格奇怪呢,prep的代词指代好像没有形式平行重要。

另外,最近的破解版注解对指代也没有确定的说法,有时是就近指代对,有时是多个可能指代错,反正正说反说的都有,没法捉摸,不知有没有权威的说法。

which--->A,B,E排除

For C, it has no reference

You have to chooce D coz this choice contains correct G construction and modifers. You don't need consider the referent for "its", and get the right answer, but if you consider the meaning of the pron and the whole sentence, you can unambiguously get the referent of "its" to "the country's currency".

这里in addition to比较特殊, in addition to + noun 结构,不需要与主句主语平行对称,
但是如果是in addition to+ doing在开头处,还是要对应看逻辑主语是否一致

No, the correct answer of this question is A. Am I right?


作者: Rohto    时间: 2007-8-21 16:15

In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record, Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology through her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and through her painstaking documentation of East African cave paintings.

I hear you. You mean in the correct sentence, her and Mary Leakey don't match each other. right?

But in here I think we can ignore the minor error,according to GMAT gramma principles, about prons, as compared to the other big problems, such as parallelism.

In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record, Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology through her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and through her painstaking documentation of East African cave paintings.

 

(A) Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology through her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and through her painstaking documentation of

(B) Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology by her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting

(C) Mary Leakey was a contributor to archaeology by discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and with her painstaking documentation of

(D) Mary Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting

(E) Mary Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstaking documentation of

Idiom: in addition to…(同种题型错了两次,另见大全

56.  Added to the increase in hourly wages requested last July, the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.

(A) Added to the increase in hourly wages requested last July, the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.

(B) Added to the increase in hourly wages which had been requested last July, the employees of the railroad are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.

(C) The railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits added to the increase in hourly wages that were requested last July.

(D) In addition to the increase in hourly wages that were requested last July, the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.E

(E) In addition to the increase in hourly wages requested last July, the employees of the railroad are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.

Analysis of 129:

(A) Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology through her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and through her painstaking documentation of

(E) Mary Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstaking documentation of

 

Step1: G constructionà AE的不同在于主干 A: contributed to…through … and through …, E: …include… 两种句型结构表达的意思不同,保持原文意思为优先原则à
        
排除D,E; C同理排除

Step2: parallelism: her discovery her painstaking documentation的平行 vs. her discovery painstakingly documenting的不平行
            
〉排除B,

 

小结:in addition to 的可不平行性;名词/动名词的混淆性;E也可用her discoveringpainstaking documentation of的不平行排除-我做错的原因就是没有看到这一点,但是如果用G construction的结构优先法则,可以舍去判断这两者的比较。

错误原因:1: in addition to her…为了找平行,选主语所有格,排除了A,B,C; 2. 对抽象名词/动名词形式不敏感。

实质是: In addition to prep. Phrase + noun phrase而不是分词结构时, 不存在逻辑主语一致问题
