[求助]GWD26-Q24 （跳跃修饰） - ChaseDream

According to

United States

census data, while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.

A. while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.

B. there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home in 1975; in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home

C. in 1975 about one-third of mothers with young children worked outside the home; in 2000, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home

D. even though in 1975 there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000

E. with about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000

但是，不是说如果定语从句前有介词短语，比如in 1998什么之类的，定语从句就可以跳跃修饰前面的名词

这里的with young children 可不可以看成一个介词短语，然后who ....跳跃修饰前面的名词mothers ？？

今天又被跳跃修饰难倒了，似乎好象不能跳跃修饰啊，以下是prep sc text2的29题：

Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio winds through the middle of the business district, and the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular attraction.

(A) Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio

(B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life, in San Antonio the river

(C) Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it

(D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio

(E) No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river

答案为E，我选了B，解释说B中which错误指代United States，但是我想如果碰见介词短语不是可以跳跃修饰吗，于是跳过两个介词短语in the United States和in many cities ，不就正确修饰the river 了吗？

从我碰见的两道题来看，是没有跳跃修饰的，请NN过来确定一下，以免我再次做错题

其次，从逻辑意思来看，D中的who要跳跃修饰mothers才对，但从语法上看，who既可以修饰mothers，也可修饰children

首先，从从主谓一致来看，is既可以修饰the river，也可以修饰United States，混乱

其次，从逻辑意思来看，B中which引导非限制性定语从句，可以跳跃修饰（如果which引导限制性定语从句时，不可以跳跃修饰），跳过两个介词短语in many cities 和in the

United States，修饰核心词the river 。

21. With its plan to develop seven and a half acres of shore land, Cleveland is but one of a large number of communities on the Great Lakes that is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.
(A) is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(B) is looking at its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(C) are looking to their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(D) are looking to its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting
(E) are looking at their waterfronts as a way they can improve the quality of urban life and attract

（2）N + 介词短语 + that中that就近修饰（例子就不举了，很常见）

1. The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.

168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.

Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a quantity made up of countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice A awkwardly substitutes the adjective double for twice; uses that without a clear referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of location. E is illogical: since that refers to a doubling, E nonsensically asserts that the doubling occurred in 1910.

Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber her letters to anyone else.

很明显，which引导非限制性定语从句跳跃修饰Emily Dickinson’s letters

225. Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population. and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.

In choices A and C, the construction that still has ..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not grammatically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and illogically makes the where ... clause modify wolf population rather than Minnesota--that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf population is where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. In E, the best choice, the parallel construction of where ... and where ... allows both clauses to modify Minnesota.

大全-675 Studies show that young people with higher-than-average blood pressure and their families have a history of high blood pressure are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition.

正确答案为B，这里面的whose的修饰就是跃过with短语的限定直接修饰young people的

其次，从逻辑意思来看，D中的who要跳跃修饰mothers才对，但从语法上看，who既可以修饰mothers，也可修饰children.

第一步，不能用主谓一致来判断。第二步那就用逻辑，第一个符合逻辑的是communities，所以就是communities，因为很明显the Great Lakes不合逻辑，它不能improve和attract。
