B, E) "because of"的用法不正确。作者: 红尘道士 时间: 2010-6-10 13:47
这种题目挺难的，属于比较没有规则的题目 大部分题目答案可以分为两组，两组答案进行比较发现差距，选出正确答案 这个题目答案，都没有共性，很难发现答案间的差别，这个时候，我觉得对主语要进行比较，一般句子主语，要简洁，具体，不能有太多的定语作者: crazyxxx 时间: 2010-6-10 14:03
恩,主要是考了cost的用法,当然我觉得主旨还是简洁. cost既然可以作为使...花费的意思,在这句中,当然主动动词形式就优于名词形式.除非句子为了强调cost这个名词...比如,这个cost和另外的cost的结合和对比,那就得用名词了.作者: lmiltamy 时间: 2010-6-12 10:15
b/e選項中 because of 為什麼用法不正確?? 謝謝作者: wuyaoln 时间: 2010-6-12 10:38
b 的大问题是Annual 与 xx a year 重复作者: wuyaoln 时间: 2010-6-12 10:41
e的问题是改变了原意。output&revenue自己不会illiteracy.作者: yahoochao 时间: 2010-6-12 10:50

同意楼上说法。这一题的考点是语义重复！而且because of 貌似不招ETS的喜欢。一般都爱做迷惑项出项出现。作者: silent7706 时间: 2010-6-12 13:53

Sorry but I made a mistake in my original comment. The usage of "because of" in B) and E) is grammatically correct. However, GMAC prefers to use "because of" in a relatively straightforward way, such as "Because of A, X blah blah blah."作者: hermit127 时间: 2010-6-12 18:24
我认为A里面：Cost to the United States的用法不正确，查了下朗文 1，Cost 表达所有属性的时候用法只有cost of 参见：[countable]the amount of money that you have to pay in order to buy, do, or produce something cost of the cost of accommodation I offered topay the cost ofthe taxi. Insurance tocover the cost ofa funeral is possible. This doesn't include the cost of repairing the damage. The new building's going up at a cost of $82 million. low cost housing the high cost of production A cassette/radio is included at no extra cost. The funds will just cover the museum's running costs.
2，只有下面的词条有cost to的用法 参见: [uncountable and countable] something that you lose, give away, damage etc in order to achieve something at (a) cost to somebody She had kept her promise to Christine, but at what cost to herself? 另外即使cost to USA成立，也冗余罗嗦的多相比C来说
