标题: 再问GWD17-Q18，前人有讨论，但无解答

18. GWD17-Q18:

Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.

A.      Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.

B.       Over the course of the eighteenth century a tripling in the average output of ironwork was due to the replacement of charcoal by coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, in addition to several improvements in blowing machinery.

C.      With charcoal’s being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.

D.      The replacement of charcoal with coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.

E.       Charcoal being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, and several improvements in blowing machinery, which tripled the average output of ironwork over the course of the eighteenth century.

答案为A，请问C错在哪里？ 可以as a result of 和 because 并列吗？over the course of the eighteenth century 和over the eighteenth century 是否都正确？

有一点我不是很懂，但是说说看，希望引发讨论。
我注意到原题因果句中，正确选项用with开头。查字典，with是可以表达因。

    
        
                
                
            
            
                
                
            
        

                    

 


                
                    

With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles
  for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing its
  western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean.

With the cost of wireless service plummeting
  in the last year and mobile phones becoming
  increasingly common, many people are
                            now using their mobile phones to
  make calls across a wide region at night and on weekends, when numerous
  wireless companies provide unlimited airtime for a relatively small monthly
  fee.


                

    
A: because 没有主要字句，over the eighteenth century 多写了wordy的 over the course of ...，这两种写法都对，只是後者wordy

C的答案因为有一个很奇怪的长相 「所有格+being + 表被动的分词。」表示被替换。
这个用法如果查NYTimes是有的

Creative tensions between Mr. Spiegel and one of the film’s producers, Brad Wyman, resulted in Mr. Spiegel’s being replaced by another director, Adam Rifkin, three weeks into production.

BTW, 我投C
作者: leogm    时间: 2008-6-3 07:40

ad264,你说的A中because从句没有主要字句是什么意思？

我也倾向于C，但我认为because从句本身没有什么问题，只是和as a result并列有些奇怪。C中with后的两个并列成分在形式上也不对称。

我认为这道题的主要考点是考察平行，只是不知道A、C中哪种结构对平行的要求更严。

作者: ad264    时间: 2008-6-3 11:20
因為and後面要开始一个完整句子，所以只有because S+V，却没有S+V.
这样的句子不完整。

不过，紫22
    

In
recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used
crossbreeding, partly to acquire certain
characteristics in their steers and partly
            because crossbreeding is said to
provide hybrid vigor.

所以我应该修正想法

C选项 是两个名词用and连 (PS所有格+Ving是名词)
A选项 as a result of N and N应该就可以不需要and because
如下句考题
The cottontail rabbit
population in Orange County,
California, has increased
unchecked in recent years as a result of the
removal of the native fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands.
作者: driftysnail    时间: 2008-6-3 15:50

 and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore

这个从句里面是有主语和谓语的啊， 不明白未什么ad264说的意思

我选C， 因为平行结构， A里面as a result of + n 和Because 从句不能平行吧？

作者: ad264    时间: 2008-6-3 16:55
抱歉！我之前的意思是an independent clause + "because"  dependent clause。後来，我看紫22那题的because那一题前面也用and连接，所以代表我之前想法错了，不应该用and because 来判A死刑。(PS:如果我表达还是不好，请完全忽略之。)


此题GWD我还是投C

GWD17-Q18 A选项设定点在於主句写完有两个原因，一个原因是名词，另一个原因是句子，分别用不同的字连。

        

    由於通常表原因，正确选项通常是as a result of N and N两个名词或是两个because句子。

        

    这种一个是名词的原因，另一个是句子的原因，平衡可不可以这样，目前不敢下定论，因为紫22虽然是 to V的平衡，却也多了because。

大家可以注意看看有没有一个名词跟一个句子的两个原因，正确选项是怎样表达的？我目前还在找

C  错在 with 与主句的主词 the average output  逻辑有误.

另外with 中 being replaced 与improvement 不平行. 

being replaced 不合理,  原句意没有正在进行的意思.

A 是最好的,

From www.nytimes.com

有关此题的讨论，在语法区里搜到了3处。另一处比较值得关注的帖子：

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&replyid=3110289&id=341128&page=1&skin=0&Star=1

我倾向选A.

我排除C的依据是with ＋being 用法错误。

自己对with 的用法一直很模糊，在此，想请教大家能否帮忙给出完整有关with用法的小结。

拜谢先……

作者: rwchinak    时间: 2008-10-15 00:42

A我的确觉得很不爽，我当初也是选C，不过我也不是很确定

我感觉C有以下缺点

1、with sth being done非常无敌wordy。

2、也是关键的，with sth doing确实有表原因的意思。不过他后面有个并列

   With charcoal’s being replaced by coal......and several improvements in blowing machinery

也就是一个with sth being replaced and sth的结构。improvements也是原因之一，但with sth是否仍然能够表达原因，我有点怀疑

3、and的连接，improvements与什么平行并列是个问题，与iron并列还是fuel并列？（个人觉得整个理由有点牵强，不过以前有类似的题，估计不是这题重点）

只能说其他选项的错误过于严重，完全盖过了A中and前后不平行的问题。

A的and前后概念上是很平行的，也符合逻辑。。。

只能这么理解了。。。优先级啊优先级
