(A) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle (B) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling (C) most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling (D) mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle (E) mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling
这个题选C，我的问题是abc的them是不是指代不清？因为我看很多题目的解释都是them有可能指代前面的很多复数，这个题里面如果them 指的是astronomers ，那语意不通，不就错误了吗？作者: rainbowmanutd 时间: 2010-2-27 17:24
还有一个~ At one time, the majestic American chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump from tree to tree without once touching the ground between New York State and Georgia.

80 massive planets, most of them most of them是massive planets的同位语，所以不存在歧义作者: rainbowmanutd 时间: 2010-2-28 00:19
再来个例子， Industrialization and modern methods of insect control have improved the standard of living around the globe while at the same time they have introduced some 100,000 dangerous chemical pollutants, having gone virtually unregulated since they were developed more than 50 years ago.
(A) while at the same time they have introduced some 100,000 dangerous chemical pollutants, having (B) while at the same time introducing some 100,000 dangerous chemical pollutants that have (C) while they have introduced some 100,000 dangerous chemical pollutants at the same time, and have (D) but introducing some 100,000 dangerous chemical pollutants at the same time that have (E) but at the same time introduce some 100,000 dangerous chemical pollutants, having
答案是b，为什么a不对？解释是A选项，整个句子中的两个代词they指代对象不一致，划线部分they没有指代对象，未划线部分的they指 代的是pollutants 。划线部分they不是指的开头的主语吗作者: rainbowmanutd 时间: 2010-2-28 00:43
2L,gemj的帖子里说没有就进指代的规则作者: rainbowmanutd 时间: 2010-3-1 01:18
又一个例子 Until Berta and Ernst Scharrer established the concept of neurosecretion in 1928, scientists believed that either cells secreted hormones, which made them endocrine cells and thus part of the endocrine system, or conducted electrical impulses, in which case they were nerve cells and thus part of the nervous system.
(A) either cells secreted hormones, which made them (B) either cells secreted hormones, making them (C) either cells secreted hormones and were (D) cells either secreted hormones, in which case they were (E) cells either secreted hormones, which made them
选D，我也是选的D，但还是有疑问，abde里的they和them不存在指代不清晰的问题吗？可以指代cells，也有可能指代 hormones呀，如果是后者，那不就逻辑出错了吗？。可是有的时候答案就说they/them可能造成指代不清晰，到底什么情况算清晰，什么算不清晰？请指教，谢谢！！作者: rainbowmanutd 时间: 2010-3-1 16:51

我也一度被LZ的问题所困扰过，现在我是这样理解的： 无论是ETS还是ACT，他们都不会设立定理，尽量避免给出哪种情形一定是错的这种绝对说法。从OG中可以看出，SC的度量标准是Correct、Effective、Proper。也许题目中会出现超越规范用法的正确选项，这是因为它比其他四项相对更符合上面的三条规则。 比如说2L题目的A项：(A) so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could 如果生搬硬套“宾语从句后不能省略that”的定理，那就变成 so prevalent that it was said that a squirrel could 而这明显是wordy与awkward的，所以这种情况下就会有变通。 所谓“两害相权取其轻也”，就是这个道理吧。作者: zxkingsey 时间: 2010-3-2 02:27
这里in which修饰其前面的名词，所以which指代H，那么THEY只能指代cells了，不存在问题作者: rainbowmanutd 时间: 2010-3-2 13:06
