29. In three centuries—from 1050 to 1350—several million tons of stone were quarried in France for the building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some tens of thousands of parish churches.
(A) for the building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some
(B) in order that they might build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some
(C) so as they might build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some
(D) so that there could be built eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and(A)
(E) such that they could build eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and
Choice A is best. The other choices are unidiomatic or unnecessarily wordy, and the pronoun they, which appears in B, C, and E, has no grammatical referent.fficeffice" />
借楼上的地方问个新问题,为什么要用some tens of thousands of?没有这个some意思不是也是很完整吗?
there be 在GMAT中 有两个意思 1 存在 2 比例
所以G的用法错
前面早有大牛指出过:some是“大约”的意思。
自己查查字典,上面很清楚地写着。
可是我觉得tens of thousands of 已经有表示大概的意思了
关于d,我是把它当成倒装句考虑,觉得倒过来后eighty cathedrals...... could be built there也应该没有什么问题.
但是。。。。
请问我这种理解错在哪?
再问一下,there be 后面是不是要直接加名词?
其他的形式是不是都要算错?
关于d,我是把它当成倒装句考虑,觉得倒过来后eighty cathedrals...... could be built there也应该没有什么问题.
但是。。。。
请问我这种理解错在哪?
倒装句:
表地点和范围的介词短语位于句首(时间不行),且谓语动词为系动词时,引起倒装。
倒装原因:主语同位语过长。
此题D中 could be built 是谓语动词,故没这种用法
这个风险太高了阿,og很多都是选项好像都不能用这个判断的
the error in D--other than the bad structure of "there be", could it be because of the usage of "could"...在讲过去的事,确定的事,表目的的事,而用了could所以不好??
有这可能性吗?谢谢

用尽全力顶
我刚刚查了薄冰语法,上面说“这种结构中的there本身无词义,……,其后的动词be具有存在之义,所以是一实义动词。”“there be结构还可以用被动式,这时be即变成了助动词,如:There are now published millions of books every year in China.现在中国每年出版成百万册书。On the following day,there was held a splendid banquet.第二天大摆盛宴。”
突然想到,如果there be结构可以用被动式的话,那么仿照第二个例子,D选项也应该表达为:" so that there was built eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and",因为was已经变成助动词,所以再有could就是redundant了。
而some tens of thousands of parish churches,我觉得tens of thousands of 是用来形容parish的,而some是用来修饰churches的,因为不可能修造成千上万的教堂,只能修造成千上万的教区中的一些教堂,parish是教区,不知道我的理解是否正确。
29. In three centuries--from 1050 to 1350--several million tons of stone were quarried in France for the building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and some tens of thousands of parish churches.
d. so that there could be built eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches, and
¨ Why Choice D is wrong?
¨ 因为there could be built eighty cathedrals…这个结构没有主语,所以不对吗?
排除,因为主语很长,倒装是必要的,还原即得:eighty cathedrals… could be built there.
¨ 因为so that 用的不对?
排除!so that 可以表示result和purpose,本题应是表示result。
¨ 因为could 用的不对?
确认!could be built的意思是“有能力/可能来建eighty cathedrals…”,但是到底建没建不得而知。如果要表示确实已经建了,应该用 there were built eighty cathedrals…。
本题题干中明确的年份表示from 1050 to 1350,说明本题是在描述已经发生的事实。只能选A, for 不会导致could be built所带来的歧义。
这个风险太高了阿,og很多都是选项好像都不能用这个判断的
同意
我觉得应该是原句有some,而d,e选项没有some,无辜删除原句中的词,改变句意
可是我觉得tens of thousands of 已经有表示大概的意思了
感觉A和D都有awkward的毛病,对A而言,to build 和for building 都比for the building of 要简洁,但ETS弃D而选A,是不是因为对D的“there could be done”句式尤其不喜欢?
又或确如上面所言,问题出在could的逻辑上,但ETS在此题上是否真有考察这么细的意图?
望高手指点。
D 中如果要表达被动,就直接说 building of eighty cathedrals, five hundred large churches....were build 就好了阿,何必来个there be 再来个虚拟语气呢,麻烦!
况且ets很不喜欢被动语态,这里若用被动语态,那么by who?是france吗?显然混乱。
btw,对于some,还望nn赐教,我觉得只是为了保持原文意思不改变,没有太大意义,有没有都行。但是google上确有这样的用法,只是不了解区别。
这道题我竟然选in order that了,善哉。
我觉得既然新的OG没有这道题了,说明这道题已经不能很好的把握,甚至 可能会影响现在的ETS的要求了。
请有经验的人士解答
The answer is A
In B, C, E, the pronoun they has no referance in the text
for D, there could be done is not a proper way to use in GMAT
第一次我也选D了……
感觉OG这题很怪,那个some特别碍眼啊……
