标题: Prep上两道题，求NN解答~默默自己解答了，求验证~~
为何下面两题一个是a proportion of women work, 一个是a group of scientists was able? 到底 a variety of / a body of / a collection of / an arrary of / a series of / a set of/ a portion of/ a group of/ a constellation of/ a team of ”作主语后面谓语用什么形式？

1. In Hungary, as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in middle management and light industry.
A. as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in
B. as with much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women works, many in
C. as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of them in
D. like much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women works, and many are (C)
E. like much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many are in

2. After determining the levels of calcium carbonate and the types of fossilized algae present in core samples taken from the bottom of Lake Titicaca in the Andes, a group of scientists was able to reconstructthe history of precipitation in tropical South America over the past 25,000years.
(A)the types of fossilized algae present in core samples taken from the bottom of Lake Titicaca in the Andes, a group of scientists was able
(B)the types of fossilized algae that are present in core samples taken from the bottom of Lake Titicacain the Andes, it was possible for a group of scientists
(C)the types of fossilized algae that had been present in core samples taken from the bottom of LakeTiticaca in the Andes, that made it possible for a group of scientists
(D)what types of fossilized algae had been present in core samples taken from the bottom of Lake Titicacain the Andes, it was possible for a group of scientists
(E)what the types of fossilized algae were that were present in core samples taken from the bottom of Lake Titicaca in the Andes, a group of scientists was able

我想了想，是不是这样？
a group of scientist是主语本身，在句子里可以用this group or that group来指代它；同类的包括a team of, a body of, a collection of, an array of, a set of , a series of，a constellation of . 事物可以以这些词本身成集合。

例1.（OG-88 ）
Thelonious Monk, who wasa jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted in the stride-piano tradition of Willie (TheLion) Smith and Duke Ellington, yet in many ways he stood apart from the mainstream jazz repertory.
A. Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted
B. Thelonious Monk, the jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work that was rooted both
C. Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, who produced a body of work rooted
D. Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work that was rooted (D)
E. Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work rooted both

例2
Although the vast constellation of small islands that dot the South Pacific has apopulation of only a few million people, it is home to about a sixth of the world's 6,000 or so languages.

(A)Pacific has a population of only a few million people, it is
(B)Pacific has a population of only a few million people, they are
(C)Pacific is populated by a only a few million people, and it is
(D)Pacific, having a population of only a few million people, is nonetheless
(E)Pacific, populated by only a few million people, yet they are

而比如像a number of remedies是指有很多remedies, 在句子里不可以用this number or that number 来指代它，换句话说，a number of 是修饰成分(事物不以number本身为集合)。和a number of remedies一样的也包括a proportion of women, a proportion of是修饰成分，不可以被指代，被指代的只能是women. 类似的也包括a variety of。(不过个人觉得这个proportion不是很好区分辨认的，请NN们指教！)

例In attempting to solve the problems caused by a lowering of the price of oil, oil companies operating in the North Sea have taken a variety of approaches, which includes their reducing employment, using new technology to pump oil more efficiently from smaller fields, and finding innovative ways to cut the cost of building and operating platforms.
A. which includes their reducing employment, using new technology to pump oil more efficiently
B. which includes reducing employment, using new technology to be more efficient in pumping oil
C. which include reducing employment, using new technology to pump oil more efficiently
D. which include the reduction of employment, their using new technology to pump oil more efficiently E. including a reduction of employment, their use of new technology to be more efficient at pumping oil

另，插播一个疑问，为何OG-88题a body of work里面的work是单数？不是音乐作品吗？不应该是复数吗？

楼主道出了我的心声啊~~同求
话说你的头衔啥意思？我一直很想知道这个神秘的版块啥意思

理解一：我忘了在哪里说过proportion其实可以看作是代词的…
-------
理解二：
翻译成中文理解：a proportion of women，一部分女人，这个概念就是个复数概念。
而a group of scientists: 一个科学家组，这个概念就是个单数概念。注意不要理解为一组科学家。
------
理解三：因为group是一个具象化的概念，可以比较容易地被”归类“，而proportion, number, variety都不是。
------
理解四：当然也可以理解a proportion of是一个修饰词，和a number of，a variety of都一样，都是形容词而已，核心词是后面的那个词。
------
上面四种理解只是其中几个判断方式，还可以有更多的理解，不过四个理解选一个或结合两三个比较能够接受的记住就好。
------
"a group of scientist是主语本身，在句子里可以用this group or that group来指代它"-->这样理解依然会有些模糊，因为我们也可以说that proportion.

多谢斑竹热情回复~撒花

有两个疑问噢，一个是关于绿色部分，可是that proportion 可以指带 a proportion of women吗？不会与 that proportion is much smaller this year这样表示那个比例（而非那部分人）混淆？

还有一个疑问，关于下面OG-88题a body of work里面的work是单数？不是音乐作品吗？不应该是复数？

OG-88
Thelonious Monk, who wasa jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted in the stride-piano tradition of Willie (TheLion) Smith and Duke Ellington, yet in many ways he stood apart from the mainstream jazz repertory.
A. Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted
B. Thelonious Monk, the jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work that was rooted both
C. Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, who produced a body of work rooted
D. Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work that was rooted (D)
E. Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work rooted both

楼下NN回复了呦~~

头衔可能是已经出国的意思

作者: ahasusanna 时间: 2012-5-14 21:31
soga，理解为修饰不是量词
在有道上搜到的例句But few musicians have a body of work that deserves this kind of treatment，好多句子都是讲音乐作品中的a body of work， a body of就是大量的意思，可数名词和不可数名词都可以修饰
呃……好像没有在回答问题，其实我也不知道答案……就当给自己扫盲吧，不查还不知道这个词组神马意思
mongmong自己也不确定这个头衔咋来的？

OG88题！！！！貌似都不是同位语表述复杂的问题啊！！！！！用了both and 把句子意思都改变啦！！！
只是root在那个tradition里！！！！用了both...and说明它root在两个东西里！！！！

that proportion我们就有两种理解方式了：即可理解为“比例”，此时为单数；也可以理解为“那部分女人”，此时为复数。
主要是词的含义比较多：
proportion: --> 从"局部"的角度来看
1. [C usually singular also + plural verb British English] 【PART OF SOMETHING】
a part of a number or amount, considered in relation to the whole
proportion of
　The proportion of women graduates has increased in recent years.
　Every parent is asked to contribute a proportion of the total cost.
high/large/small etc proportion
　The decision affects a significant proportion of the population.
　Although the majority of offenders are men, a small proportion - about 5 percent - are women.
2.【MATHEMATICS】[U] --> 单纯从数字的角度出发来看。
technical equality in the mathematical relationship between two sets of numbers, as in the statement '8 is to 6 as 32 is to 24'

a body of work倾向于描述"风格一致"的work
a body of works倾向于描述"单纯地放在一起"的一堆works
不过这个不会作为考点出现的，因为这两种表达在理解上不会造成什么区别，GMAT最多只考主谓一致。
