标题: [求教]GWD-23一道SC题目
Q32: PP61.

Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend less time with each.

A.imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend

B.imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spending

C.that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spend

D.that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending

E.that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending

本人的理解是：S+V+O: union members are less likely than nounion members, 不过这个对题目解决作用不大。选项split两类：分词修饰和定从。按照GMAT偏好定从的思想，排除A，B。接下来定从的先行词plans无疑，选项中出现三个动词：impose, require, spend。明显 spend跟plans没关系，不可能plans发出spend的动作，只能是人。因此三个动词形式不能全部并列排除C选项。继续分析impose 和require的逻辑主语应该是plans，这两个必须形式并列，排除E选项。
就只剩下D选项了，参考答案也是D选项。

可是再看D选项，很别扭，spending的逻辑主语必须是doctors，可是doctors在前面又是宾语。require sb to do sth, doing ...总觉得很别扭。
因此怀疑第一次的split出错。转向选项A，plans imposing ... and requiring sb to do sth, and spend ...似乎可以，imposing 和 requiring并列， to see 和 (to) spend 并列。当然如果是to spend就完美，可是没有to也应该可以的。比如说 The policy requires people to see xxx and do xxx 应该没问题呀。
到底是A好还是D好。迷茫了。。。。求高手解答

另外D如果理解成require doctors spending more time with each 也是不对的，因为require sb doing 是语法错误的

回答楼主，首先要明白句子的结构哦，就是这个plans impose stricter limits and require doctor, 而spending作为伴随状语修饰的是see，表示医生花少的时间看每个病人了，这个spending less time是由于前面看more patients引起的，而spend是用来和谁并列的呢？和are么？这个从逻辑意思上看是不对的。

刚才我也选了D，然后根据你的思路看了一下，感觉A好像也没什么语法上的问题

如果有区别就是意思上了:
A：医生看更多的病人，并且看病人的时间要短
D：医生看更多的病人，导致（或者说伴随）看每个病人的时间变少了

按照答案来看就是说D的意思要好一些吧？其实A的意思也没什么不好的。。甚至感觉比D好呢

spending less time是see的伴随状语

作者: Katie杭 时间: 2013-10-4 17:20
lz，这一题如果真按照你对于A的理解，那么就应该是imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients and spend...注意and前面没有逗号！当出现“, and”的时候表示并列的是两个主语不同的独立句子，如果你只要并列see和spend那么直接用and隔开就行了。这个标点符号的用法是曼哈顿语法里面的，有时候可以根据这一点快速排除选项。
话说回来，这一题本身确实更加强调一种因果关系，后面的spending对前面的看更多病人作出进一步解释。

为什么都说spending是伴随状语？？SVO，doing的doing做伴随状语不是只能修饰S么？这里spending应该是结果状语吧，require doctors to see more patients所以看每个病人的时间变少了，只有这样能解释的通

讲到点子上了，解决了我对A的不解。
此处A选项因为and spend没有主语所以一定是并列的分句，那spend就只能和are并列了，显然不对。
而D选项没有逻辑错误，所以选D啦~

mht 官方人员解答：
you have to realize which verbs are supposed to be parallel and which aren't. there's no grammatical formula for this; you have to examine the meaning of the sentence to figure it out.
- 'impose' (in whatever form) should be parallel to 'require' (again, in whatever form). these are two different things, both of which are aspects of the plan (= logical parallelism).
- 'spend' should not be parallel to 'see', because it functions as a modifier of 'see' (it's a descriptive adverb modifier, detailing the way in which the doctors see the patients).

choice a: 'spend' is ungrammatical here (it has no logical subject, and isn't parallel to anything).
choice b: imposing, requiring, and spending are all parallel, implying that the insurance plans do all three of these things (an absurdity in the last case).
choice c: all three verbs are parallel again, leading to the same absurdity witnessed in choice b.
choice d (= correct): the parallelism follows the model outlined above: only the verbs that are logically parallel appear in parallel structure.
choice e: 'requiring' and 'spending' are parallel in the modifier, implying that the plans themselves spend time with patients (in addition to requiring blah blah blah). this doesn't make sense.

这句话道出了语法题的真谛啊。可惜自己离这个境界还差老远。
