50. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing”, followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
the gains…… reflect ……and come in……
many 指代analysts
两个that:第一个that修饰confidence,第二个that修饰recession,many had feared,只能是人fear,不能是gain,所以不存在指代问题。因为后面有动作来区分逻辑意思。
The economy will avoid the recession...and in stead (the economy will) come in for a "soft landing,"...
Here, "the economy" is the subjects, "avoid" & "come in for" are the parellel verbs, "the recession" and "a 'soft landing'" are objects.
(A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
问题3:come in for?
答:固定词组“接受、受到、继承”。
B) in the economy to avoid the recession,what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
如果用what,就要改变语序,例如to avoid what many feared, the recession,...如果不改变语序,what 要改成which
问题1:B项中recession that many的that为什么不能变为what?
答:recession后面的从句是定语从句,定语从句根本就不能用what引导。
b. rather do/rather doing的两个用法,没有rather to do的结构.what实质上引导这个这个从句有点插入语的意思,what有可以跳越修饰的作用,所以,它所指代的对象就不如that明确.
B笨拙企且指代不清拿what指代,不清楚是指代recession还是前面整个句子,unclear;rather to come的主语是谁也不明确,unclear;而且跟A比较B的句子结构明显笨拙,awkward
what many feared earlier in the year, 许多人在年初害怕的事, 人们可以害怕很多东西: danger, unemployment etc. recession 只是其中的一种.
C) in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
d.除了上面讲的rather用法错误以外,它还错在同位语修饰上.recession后面直接加了many were fearing...,是一个同位语修饰前面名词.可是这里后面的是个同位语从句,所以必须加上关联词that.
E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
(will)come in for a soft-landing 是与will avoid 并列的。而E即使with结构正确,也改变了句子的合理中心,所以错误。
with加独立主格结构
出来 earlier in the year 是 “ 今年早些时候” 的意思
had feared 过去完成时表示过去发生的动作在过去某点为止。仅仅根据earlier in the year 只能判断事件发生在过去。 recession的fear肯定是在confidence之前。同时根据前面的意思知道confidence 是过去已经有的,现在的gains 是进一步反映这个confidence。那么recession的fear自然就是过去的过去,应该用过去完成时了
earlier in the year一般用过去式,在很多例子中都可以看到
但earlier in the year和had feared连用时,很多都用had feared,而不用feared
看起来很奇怪,可是GMAT就是这么用的

请问楼主,D选项中的that为啥不能省略,语法书上说当定语从句中先行词that在从句中作宾语时可以省略,但og说一定不能省。。。。迷茫了。。。。难道fear这里作不及物?可是如果是不及物那这不是定语从句了吧~~~忘楼主指点!!!作者: bennywang2usa 时间: 2010-7-19 11:34
GMAT语法里that都不能省略作者: bennywang2usa 时间: 2010-7-19 11:38
我现在疑惑的是og上说C里面instead to不对。这是为什么呢?我刚看牛津字典上还有instead to的用法作者: henry1126 时间: 2010-7-19 15:10
谢谢!!只是在gmat中不可以对吧作者: bennywang2usa 时间: 2010-7-19 17:42
错了,是在GMAT宾语从句中不可以省略作者: henry1126 时间: 2010-7-21 21:43
好像that many had feared 不是宾语从句吧,应该是个定语从句吧,我觉得。。。如果fear这里是不及物动词可能是同位语从句,但many had feared应该不是说明recession的内容。所以应该是定语从句,但是先行词在定语从句中作宾语一般省略的,og12-62就是这么说的。。。实在是不懂了。。。作者: 魏小妞要出国 时间: 2010-8-4 21:02
同意LS的,确实是定语从句,that可省可不省作者: stocolcn 时间: 2010-8-7 17:18
刚才看到另一处关于had feared 的解释,觉得很有道理。就是had feared 表示fear 这个动作并非一瞬间完成,而是持续了一段时间。但是这个时候为什么不用have feared的呢?因为这个动作到现在已经不存在了,就是被avoid的了,如果用现在完成时态,说明现在仍在继续。所以fear开始于earlier in the year,结束于avoid这个时候。作者: 小球藻 时间: 2010-8-27 16:09
第一句主干提取有误 不是the gains…… reflect ……and come in…… and come in主语是economy 主干这是gains reflect confidence作者: deardiary 时间: 2010-8-31 22:00
