标题: GWD-10-Q22（没有查到讨论贴）

GWD-10-Q22:GWD-11-14

A. banked with dirt to a height of

B. banked with dirt as high as that of

C. banked them with dirt to a height of

D. was banked with dirt as high as

E. was banked with dirt as high as that of

答案是A

我觉得这道题的结构很晕，我是这样分析的：

The single-family house (主语)constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical （谓语）in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and
banked （应该是与谓语并列啊） with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

如果选A，句子结构就是banked与overlaid并列了。

这里的and到底连接的是哪两个分句？句子结构有歧义。

如果从句意来看，我觉得两种理解都是可以的。

我认为这里的过去分词banked是和overlaid并列，修饰framework，虽然从语法上来说（,and）的结构既可以和主句宾列也可以和后面的独立主格并列，但是从逻辑层次上来说跟主句并列并不好，即便不能从并列层次上区分，分析D，E选项也完全可以从语法上将其排除，只剩下和独立主格并列的可能。

A. banked with dirt to a height of

B. banked with dirt as high as that of

C. banked them with dirt to a height of

D. was banked with dirt as high as－dirt和three to four feet不能比较

E. was banked with dirt as high as that of－dirt和dirt of three to four feet比较，比较本身就很awkward，翻译过来逻辑意思也很奇怪（dirt of three to four feet，这个dirt也太大了吧，^_^）；相反A选项逻辑意思很清楚framework用dirt be banked to a heigh of...；

谢谢回复，但不能说服我。为什么你可以说从逻辑层次上来说跟主句并列并不好

作者: aeoluseros 时间: 2009-7-4 02:37

恩，这道题目从逻辑上对于我们没有专业背景的人来讲很难判断was banked(D选项)跟was concial平行还是banked与overlaid平行.但是可以把选项narrow到A和D之间，以前做过的题目如果后面是跟数字一般来讲还是用to a height of这样的形式，或许这是gmat出题的一个惯例吧，如果不是比较就不用比较，这样比较“中性”.

ps,补充张图片这种single-family的图片：

作者: wittyhunter 时间: 2009-7-7 03:28

我个人认为，banked应该是跟overlaid平衡对称。因为主句中谓语动词was后边是形容词 conical，是说这个房子是圆锥形状，划线部分banked（把……堆积起来）是个过去分词，形容词跟分词不能构成完美的平行对称关系的。而banked与过去分词overlaid在字义和语法形式上都对称，可以构成标准的平行对称结构。

不知我讲得清楚否？

buy in 这个解释，我觉得这样想我就想得通。

谢谢wittyhunter

overlaid后面有with，bank后面也有with
这样也可以判断一下bank和谁对应

作者: wittyhunter 时间: 2009-7-17 07:49

Vivian：客气了

Sheery分析的有道理

祝大家考试成功

标题: 独立主格

独立主格成分：its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

主语+ -ed +介词短语。在这里，and 是连接两个-ed 动词并列，每个-ed动词又分别带了一个with 介词短语，把插入语"either cedar or pine" 去掉就看的很清楚了。

那为什么要用to a hight of 而不是as high as that of? 是不是因为that的原因？

同问！

from Manhattangmat:
First, there's the "as high as" problem. You don't use a construction like that unless you're:
(a) giving some sort of limitation on the height of something, and/or
(b) trying to emphasize the extreme height of something.
During the turbulent fall season, Lake Superior can have waves as high as 18 feet.
--> this is an appropriate usage. 18 feet is extremely high for a wave on a lake (!), so "as high as" makes sense here.
Also, we're saying that 18 feet is an upper bound.
Since this problem is doing neither of these, "to a height of" is better.

just an example based on fansail's explaination:

AD之争 --- a height of 与as high as的区别
'as high as' should be followed by one value, not a range.

some of our players weigh as much as 300-325 pounds --> bad phrasing
some of our players weigh as much as 325 pounds --> good phrasing

独立主格并列了，我感觉最近ETS出的语法题越来越阴险了，不停留多几秒钟很容易上当

同意这个分析，如果把句子翻译过来就很明显了
现在的北加州生活的美洲土著人的单户住宅由yana筑成，是在圆锥形的形状，它的框架由树皮覆盖的搭成，或是雪松或是松木板，并用泥土堆积到一个三到四英尺的高度。

如果没有一点想象力还挺难答对的... 我纠结了好长时间这个句子结构。

作者: angela7258 时间: 2010-11-9 18:39
问一个句子结构的问题，“，”不能连接两个或三个句子，这里面又如何解释呢？

恩，这道题目从逻辑上对于我们没有专业背景的人来讲很难判断was banked(D选项)跟was concial平行还是banked ...

很牛逼嘛哈哈，
a height of 和as high as的解释（from RON）：
there is a meaning shift. if you say 'dirt as high as four feet', you're implying that most of the dirt is well below the four-foot level, but that four feet is the maximum height. the correct answer choice, on the other hand, states that the height of the dirt bank is consistently three to four feet.
