一个是语法的51题 51. A new study suggests that theconversationalpaceof everyday life may be so briskit hampers theability of some children for distinguishing discrete sounds andwords and,the result is, to makesense of speech. (A) it hampers theability of some children for distinguishing discrete sounds and words and, theresult is, to make (B) that it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words and, as aresult, to make (C) that it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words and, theresult of this, they are unable to make (D) that it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words,and results in not making (E) as to hamperthe ability of some children for distinguishing discrete sounds and words,resulting in being unable to make
我选的是D,OG上面说and results in not making这句话的中心变了，而且对于正确的B，总感觉如果把主干剥离出来那不就是 theconversationalpace may be so brisk that it hampers the abilityto distinguish discrete sounds and words and to make sense of speech.
这一个ability能一直管到后面的那个to？而且原来的句子中放入了那么多插入语还有as a result 什么的，让B的答案一读就觉得to make sense of speech是在说“结果是，（能）理解演讲的意思” ，感觉好别扭吖！！！ 求解~~~~(>_<)~~~~
还有一题是： 66.The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods. (A)include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is (B)include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and (C)include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being (D)includes the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is (E)includes the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is 答案：A 偶滴问题不是那些long 和big 什么的，就是想说答案A里那个can grow to be 30 feet long，干嘛要加那个be呢？这里就不wordy了么？偶当时选的是C……
B：so that句型， hamper the ability of sb to do 搭配， as a result,这是一个插入语，楼主觉得这个有些wordy其实很正常，因为GMAC经常故意添加标点符号，把整个句子拆成几个部分来混淆咱们，而且大部分时候这些选项确实是在句子机构上范了错误或者因为过于wordy而被排除。但是这个句子中as a result 的加入导致句子fragment或者其他错误，反而显得是必要的，因为只有先hamper ability of sb to distinguish discrete sounds and words才能呈现hamper。。。 to make sense of speech.所以这是一个前后因果关系，所以用and 连接，并且需要as a result.
D:前半句是对滴，后面results in not making的主语就出现了混淆，是it 还是conversational pace of everyday life，或者楼主自己想象的是前面整个it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words。从逻辑上来说，肯定是最后一个，但是这显然是不合语法的，因为如果是表示结果，也应该用resulting in而不是用一个并列的and result in 来表达。而且本题更加倾向于一种时序上的因果联系，而不是前面整个句子导致后面一个结果。所以B是最合理的。 虽然这里听起来有点马后炮！
第51题：您的意思就是这两个虽说是并列的，但同时也有因果关系在里面，所以as a result 和and 就同时使用了？额，这样在英语语法里是可以的？还是有点别扭的感觉的说……作者: ykelly123 时间: 2011-9-21 11:29
and 是一定要用的，因为要把to distinguish 和 to make 弄成平行，他们两个同享前面的hampers。 as a result纯粹是为了反应他们两个之间的因果关系，所以加进去。 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “ 我选的是D,OG 上面说and results in not making这句话的中心变了，而且对于正确的B，总感觉如果把主干剥离出来那不就是 the conversational pace may be so brisk that it hampers the ability to distinguish discrete sounds and words and to make sense of speech. ”
对于B，把平行拆开来就是 it hampers the ability to... and (it hampers the ability) to make...
对于D，OG里说重点变了。原因是这个结构把results和hampers弄成平行了！变成了it hampers..., and (it) results 这里的it指代the conversational pace, 问题是并不是the conversational pace本身results in not making sense of speech, 而是先hampers the ability从而导致not making sense of speech 到底什么导致了什么，有本质区别。
