20. When rates were raised in 1985, postal service officials predicted they would make further rate increases unnecessary for at least three years. (A) they would make further rate increases unnecessary (B) they would mean that further rate increases would not be needed (C) that it would not be necessary for further rate increases (D) that the increase would make further rate increases unnecessary (E) further rate increases will not be needed 答案是C，我想问一下为什么c不好，是不是因为not necessary 不如unnecessary好，还是it指代不清，还是本句选C理解不通 ， 22. A collection of 38 poems by Phillis Wheatley, a slave, was published in the 1770’s, the first book by a Black woman and it was only the second published by an American woman.(A) it was only the second published by an American woman (B) it was only the second that an American woman published (C) the second one only published by an American woman (D) the second one only that an American woman published (E) only the second published by an American woman 答案是E的 the second好像和前面的the first book不平行啊，我选择的C，虽然平行the first book对应the second one，但是only的位置不好，感觉答案选项都不是很好，本句the second后面省略了one吗？不平行好吗，请高手指教？ 作者: tony9721 时间: 2003-6-10 17:05

不好意思，第一贴不清楚，字的颜色变了！作者: siebel 时间: 2003-6-10 20:58
20. C不好，原因有如下之一： 1. 逻辑意思不正确。句意应为：进一步调高利率不必要。increases用复数不能准确表达。 2. it would not be necessary for further rate increases 中，或者没有真是主语，或者借此结构作真实主语，都是不妥当的。
22. 用only的位置判断已经足够好。如果觉得悬，可以结合逻辑意思。还不行？翻翻老帖子。作者: tony9721 时间: 2003-6-11 01:18
看来新东方总结的only的用法不错, 我就是看到og上的句子才怀疑的, 例如公理说 15.若在题中的划线部分(即A选项)中发现情态动词，那么在最后的正确答案中 必须有些情态动词或类似语气的词出现。实践中，此原则可转化为：不含此情态动词或类似语气词的选 项均为错误选项，立即排除 但是 og 237. It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetary nebulas, may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other at close range. A. may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other B. may be caused by the interaction between two stars that each orbit the other C. are because of the interaction between two stars that orbit each other D. are caused by the interaction of two stars where each is orbiting the other E. are caused by the interaction of two stars orbiting each other Choice E, the best answer, avoids redundancy by using are rather than may be, employs the idiomatic phrase the interaction of, and expresses the relationship between the stars in a clear, concise way--two stars orbiting each other. In A and B, the use of may be is redundant because the beginning phrase It seems likely that has already established a degree of uncertainty. In A, the phrase the interaction where two stars orbit each other is imprecise and illogical, suggesting that the interaction is a place where the orbiting occurs. In B, the phrase two stars that each orbit the other is both awkward and needlessly wordy. Choice C can be faulted because to form a passive construction, are should take a verb form such as caused rather than an adverb such as because. Also, the phrase two stars that orbit each other illogically suggests that there are two particular stars causing all the phenomena in question, rather than various sets of stars in various locations. In D, the word where has no clear or logical referent, and each is orbiting the other is awkward and unnecessarily wordy; it could be replaced by the clearer and more concise orbiting each other 如果根据A的包含情态动词,那么就排除了正确的选项E, 时候用在only上面好一些呢,我好像没有见过反例
