标题: og12 sc 第三题 两个小问题,麻烦nn拔刀相助~
Although various eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
American poets had professed an interest in Native
American poetry and had pretended to imitate Native
American forms in their own works, until almost 1900,
scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study
traditional Native American poetry in native
languages.

(A) until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not
begin seriously to study
(B) until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not
begun seriously studying
(C) not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics
to begin seriously to study
(D) it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and
critics began to seriously study
(E) it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and
critics seriously began studying


小菜想问一下关于C和D中的修饰问题
1,to begin seriously to study, 这个东东为什么是wordy的?
2,until almost 1900 和almost until 1900有区别吗?

还有一点想确认一下,这里的serious,在ABCD中都应该是歧义的吧,因为它既可以向前修饰,又可以向后修饰~求确认

C、not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study
C选项还原应该是,
Scholars and critics were not seriously to begin to study until almost 1900


were 后面 应该跟的是 beginning 而不是 to begin ....
C可以改为 not until almost 1900  were  scholars and critics seriously beginning to study  
其实也可以这样改:
C可以改为 not until almost 1900   did    scholars and critics seriously begin to study


我觉得 这里的 to do 不定式 作为表语 用法不正确。
be 动词 + to do 不定式 一般都是 修饰 be 动词 前面的主语  作为 主语的 补充说明和解释。
例子,My goal is to beat GMAT

而,这里C的表达是
Scholars and critics were not to begin to study ...
be动词 were 后面直接跟 to do 不定式。

OG 似乎在说  He is to beat GMAT.  "to beat GMAT" 作表语 表达awkward

求讨论!

until almost 1900 ---- 直到 快将近 1900 年的时候  强调的是 1900年           意思上来说 这里 这个更合适。
almost until 1900 ---- 快将近 直到 1900 年的时候  强调的是 直到 1900年

翻了一下白勇,和一些语法书。
关于 不定式 to do... 作句子表语时候。也就是 were 后面跟 to do 不定式的情况。
一共有两种情况。
1、to do .... is to do...     例:To see is to believe    作主语的to do 不定式表示 条件, 作表语的to do 表示 结果
2、主语是以,tusk, goal, duty, hope, idea, intention, plan, purpose, suggestion 为中心名词词组,或以what 引导的名词性分句表示,后面的不定式 说明其 内容
    例:My idea is to climb the mountain from the north
           Our plan is to make better use of these medical herbs
           Your mistake was to write that letter.

但C选项,主语是:Scholars and critics
            系动词是:were
                表语是:to begin to study
不属于上述的 两 种不定式 作表语的情况。所以 不正确。
另外 were to do 这东东 还出现在 虚拟语气中,但都是 跟在 If 后面的。如,If I were to leave, I will remember you forever!

因此,排除上面说的 情况。
Scholars and critics were to begin to study
1、这里 形式不对称 不是 to do .... is  to do ....   (似乎这才是gmat 有过的考点,还比如doing sth. is doing sth.也是考过的)
2、to begin to study 不是 解释 主语 Scholars and critics 。不定式 在这里 作 表语 用法错误。
3、这里也不是 虚拟,没有出现If
所以,不正确。这是我的 reasoning 。
:)尽力了。希望大家补充。hope it helps.

小哥,看到你的回复好开心,我还有个问题想问一下:在原句中,如果用了because,那带有since的选项就不对,og上说是缺少因果关系,可是since不是有“因为”的意思吗,虽然每次看到because就不理since,但不知道为什么,麻烦小哥指点一下~~~

我觉得since 是 有because 的意思。字典上是有 因为 的意思的。没有错呢。那道题目 因为 because of 后面跟了一大堆的东西。但是一般 because of 后面只跟名词短语。所以可能是 wordy.
一般都会改成 because + 句子。
这个刘振明那书上确切有写过,所以肯定。
because + 完整主谓结构的句子 。这个是对的 。做过好几道这样的题目。
I did not go outside because it is raining.

是这样的小哥,这个问题不是针对你回答的那个“淘金”的题,我其实想说的是og12 sc的第一题(不知道你手边有米有,有的话可以看下)我给你粘出来吧:
The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia,
were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain
James Cook, by whom they were named supposedly
because its sheer wet rocks glistened like glass.


(A) by whom they were named supposedly
because its
(B) by whom they were named supposedly and their
(C) naming them supposedly since their
(D) who so named them supposedly because their
(E) who so named it since supposedly their



我的意思是说把“被动和代词这类的问题先不考虑的话,从语义上讲,because和since有什么区别~~”,so,麻烦小哥你有空再帮我看下啦,谢谢啦

since 有可以有两个意思
1、自从某个时间点 到现在。
2、因为...

但是 because 解释,因为,只有一个意思。
但是 since 解释 因为,本身没有错。
所以如果,在 since 和 because 没有语法错误的前提下,
优先选择 because 吧。个人理解~

搜到一个关于 since vs. because 的帖子。Manhattan staff 的回复:
Although lots of people use "since" to mean "because" in common language today, that's not the original / "official" meaning of the word. Since means "from the time that" or "between then and now" or something along those lines - so the guest poster is right that we should use "since" when we're talking about a period of time and "because" when we're talking about cause and effect. Don't use "since" (on the GMAT) to mean "because."

有空看下http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-706021-2-1.html~13楼,就是baby姐说的关于to do  的问题,我给你短信了在cd上,你有空看下~3q
作者: bob9603    时间: 2012-7-7 20:59
一下是我学习了一下baby姐以前帖子的某一段话,自己开始没懂,现在明白了,所以粘出来~

from baby姐:

C还有另一个问题哦:
(C) not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study
把倒装还原成正常语序吧,就能看出来了:
In 1990, Scholars and critics were to begin to study ....
(以上为了简化,把adverb都去掉, "almost 1990"就假设是1990哈)
这句话逻辑上有问题哦,发现了吗?

如果我今天(April 21, 2012)说:
I am to apply to MBA.
相当于: I will apply to MBA (some time in the near future). 但问题是,谁也不知道我到底什么时候apply. 我并没有说。
仅仅是在今天(April 21, 2012)我告诉你们我对于未来的plan.

那咱回头看原句:
In 1990, Scholars and critics were to begin to study ....
这句子并没有说when did they begin to study!

而原句的意思是(忽略almost):In 1990, they began to study ....

所以,就算是咱能接受C那样的倒装,那也该写成这样:
Not until almost 1990 did scholars and critics begin ...
作者: bob9603    时间: 2012-7-7 21:01
小菜总结一下自己的理解:

原句的意思是说“In 1990, they began to study ....”,这里面没有“to begin”的意思,而“to begin”相当于“will”的感觉,这与原句的意思有差别,所以是错误的~
