875. Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their production history.
(A) small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their
(B) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their
(C) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time infficeffice" />
(D) more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their(C)
(E) more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in
为什么E,介宾语短语比较不对?
359. In 1990’s, there are more babies born by women over thirty years old than under it. (A) than under it (B) than were they under it (C) than had been under it (D) than were the babies(A) (E) than those were under it
875,C是正确答案,但是those仍然可能指代manufactures或small cars.
如何判断呢?请NN指点迷津。
make sth.是可以的。They make cars。 that是定语从句。
问题是C的those指代谁?

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=30540875的E的问题就是歧义,是“数量多了”还是“更省油了”搞不清楚
359的E的问题是要想正确表达需在those前补上by
请指正,谢谢
明白了,这题要是拿给美国人来做,肯定搞定,正是因为这种语言环境的障碍。所以得多读多想多问。。。
875题是不是ETS的真题啊?我怎么觉得这个C很有问题呢?in produciton history,既然是history就已经不包括今天了,为什么还要说any other time in history?
A为什么错?是因为里面的their指代不清吗?我觉得这个their不管是指manufactures 还是指small cars,都是合理的,没有歧义。
请大家讨论。

这本身不就是有歧义么?没有歧义就是‘只指代这个而不可能指代那个’。
in history表达的是一段时期,而at time表达的是一点时间,所以at any time in production history表达的是‘在长长历史长河中的任何一点时间’;
A的错误首先就是their的指代不清;其次是比较对象混乱,A中比较的是两个时代,但是主语却都是today's technology,逻辑上不通。
