15. (25243-!-item-!-188;#058&002297)
In the mid-1920s the Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company was the scene of an intensive series of experiments that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers' performance.
(A) that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers' performance
(B) investigating the effects that changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
(C) for investigating what the effects on workers' performance are that changes in working conditions would cause
(D) that investigated changes in working conditions' effects on workers' performance
(E) to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
这个答案B是定语从句吗? that changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance怎么感觉是同谓语从句?
这个答案B是定语从句吗? that changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance怎么感觉是同谓语从句?
CE错在哪里了?对这个what从句也比较迷惑?
前半句简化看来就是A is B 然后后面跟着修饰B的成分,你觉得这样看来可以在B后面跟to do结构吗?C就错的更离谱了,一看这种答案就肯定错的
B that从句里的主谓宾是什么?that到底是什么从句?
请指教
此题notes中讲得不太明白,研究了半天,说说我的一点看法:
(A) that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers' performance
A明显是their指代问题,逻辑上指代changes,形式上就近指代conditions。没什么问题。
(B) investigating the effects that changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
B,notes中没有说错,that从句作为定从修饰effects,后面的on workers' performance也是修饰effects的。即
the effects (that changes in working conditions would have) on workers' performance
这就类似the book that you buy之类的从句,从句的主语为changes,谓语是would have。
(C) for investigating what the effects on workers' performance are that changes in working conditions would cause
(E) to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
C和E是一类,放在一起说。不知为什么notes里面对C的解释是空的,但是对E的解释是对的,就是E中what从句缺少谓语。这个what从句正确的语序应该为:
what the effects (that)changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance are。
再回头看看C,这就是为什么C中莫名其妙多出个are that的原因,C是把E中缺的一个are和一个引导词that都补出来了,但是顺序完全不对。老notes里面说C的错误原因是that没有指代对象,这是不对的。因为that其实是个放错了地方的引导词。
(D) that investigated changes in working conditions' effects on workers' performance
最后,说说我错选的D,notes的解释是:表达不清晰,可以理解为changes in… effects,也可以理解为changes in working conditions
我觉得这个说法不对。这里并没有表意不清的问题,因为conditions'是所有格形式。根据OG解释,所有格形式的词的效用是形容词而非名词,如果其后有指示代词都无法指代,何况是逻辑上的歧义。
D的问题很明显是偷换概念,改变了原有逻辑重心,investigate的宾语中心词毫无疑问是effects,而非changes。这里将effects放到了修饰changes的地位明显是不对的。
另外附OG R86题及其解释,这里仅摘取了对所有格的说明。
86. Since 1986,when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee,with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.
(A) investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform,several corporations began
(B) investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage,several corporations began
(C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform,several corporations have begun
(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage,several corporations have begun
(E) that investment officers’ fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage,several corporations began
The pronoun they lacks a referent.While they would seem to refer to investment officers’ , grammatically it cannot because investment officers’ is a possessive modifying fees, rather than a plural noun standing by itself. The sentence needs to be revised so that investment officers is a plural noun.
C) for investigating what the effects on workers' performance are that changes in working conditions would cause
are that表达明显错误。that引导定于从句不能修饰are。
(E) to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
逻辑错误。翻译过来是“去调查 在工作环境方面的效果改变,这些效果的改变可能对员工表现有影响” 而正确的意思应该是“去调查 工作环境改变的效果,这些效果可能对员工表现有影响”
而正确的意思应该是“去调查 工作环境改变的效果,这些效果可能对员工表现有影响”
(C) for investigating what the effects on workers' performance are that changes in working conditions would cause
what the effects (that)changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
are。赞同,此处为省略了that 的同位语从句。
(D) that investigated changes in working conditions' effects on workers' performance
最后,说说我错选的D,notes的解释是:表达不清晰,可以理解为changes in… effects,也可以理解为changes in working conditions
我觉得这个说法不对。这里并没有表意不清的问题,因为conditions'是所有格形式。根据OG解释,所有格形式的词的效用是形容词而非名词,如果其后有指示代词都无法指代,何况是逻辑上的歧义。赞同
D的问题很明显是偷换概念,改变了原有逻辑重心,investigate的宾语中心词毫无疑问是effects,而非changes。这里将effects放到了修饰changes的地位明显是不对的。
此外 D 错误还因为,changes in working conditions’ effects on workers’ performance 作
investigated 宾语,结构过长,表达不清,这种情况下应该改为 that 限定性从句。
此题考察的最重要的一个方面,还在于是否能辨明句子所要强调的中心,是 experiments 还是
effects. 所要强调的中心通常用that 引导的从句详细表述。像在 D 中其强调的是 experiements that, 而 B 强调 effects that.
A 中 would 使用也不正确。对比 B 中 would 的使用情况,B 中的 effect 是相对于 experiments 而言,无法预测的影响,所以用将来时态。但 A 中只是陈述 experiments 的内容,没有必要用将来时态。
GMAT 考试的越来越注重考察是否能够准确地把握句子所要论述的中心信息,而不仅仅是语法的运用能力。更像是浓缩了的阅读题。
(B) investigating the effects (that changes in working conditions )would have on workers' performance
中 investigate后省略了that的宾语从句
investigatting (that) effects(that changes in working conditions) would have on workers' performance.
感觉意思上应该这样理解,但是effects是复数,changes为什么用单数呢?
C/E中what the effects重复,要么what effects...(宾从),要么the effects that(宾语加定从)。

非常清晰。
the effects (that changes in working conditions would have) on workers' performance
that是定语从句,不是同位语从句
定语从句中that/which指代的先行词可在从句中作主语或宾语,这里effects在从句中作would have的宾语

(A) that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers' performance

what the effects (that)changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance are
不懂为什么要补这个are , the effects的谓语不是would have on 吗?
the effects (that changes in working conditions would have) on workers' performance that是定语从句,不是同位语从句 定语从句中that/which指代的先行词可在从句中作主语或宾语,这里effects在从句中作would have的宾语 |
可以對這句話詳解嗎? effect 在從句中作 would have 的賓語 是等於=investigating would have effect on worker's performance??? |
