203. From 1982 to 1987 sales of new small boats increased between five and ten percent annually.



(A)              From 1982 to 1987 sales of new small boats increased between five and ten percent annually.



(B)              Five to ten percent is the annual increase in sales of new small boats in the years 1982 to 1987.



(C)             Sales of new small boats have increased annually five and ten percent in the years 1982 to 1987.



(D)             Annually an increase of five to ten percent has occurred between 1982 and 1987 in the sales of new small boats.



(E)              Occurring from 1982 to 1987 was an annual increase of five and ten percent in the sales of new small boats.



A, the best choice, conveys the relevant information clearly and directly. Because the focus of interest is the sales of new small boats, that should be the subject of the sentence. Since the period of time covered began and ended in the past, the verb should be in the simple past tense (increased). The adverb annually fits most logically after the amount of the increases. B, C, D, and E all distort the focus and disrupt the sensible order of ideas. In addition, B, C, and D use incorrect verb tenses to refer to the simple past (is, have increased, and has occurred). In C, the expression five and ten percent makes no sense without the word between. Finally, E is especially clumsy and confused.








请问状语annually可不可以放在have anunually increased??

这道题的考点好像与anunually的位置没有关系,一般GMAT题里,除非有歧义必须改的,否则不讨论词义的位置是否更符合语法,个人感觉

有疑问,

INCREASE可以说BETWEEN 什么什么吗?

一般不都是INCREASE FROM  TO ..??


作者: colacat    时间: 2005-2-10 20:16

increase from.. to..是标志从多少增长到多少

这里的increase between 是说每年的增长是在一个什么的范围内

Can we use "x increase 5%" or "x increase by 5%" ?  or we can use both?  


Here is one example that I found in Longman ''Food prices increased by 10% in less than a year.


Thanks.

顶上去,increase 应该和by连用,这里为什么没有?

顶上去

等待NN回答...

我有一点点想法,在这里,抛砖引玉一下吧


increase by 是表明增长或者提高了多少,而这里把increase与between连用也没有错,因


为这里increase的增长没有一个明确的百分比,而只有一个大致上的范围,所以我觉得用


between来连接两个端点,很恰当

谢谢楼上的回答。increase by between 5 percent and 10 percent好像是比较怪。


但,语法上到底应该怎样来看呢?难道increase by后面表示范围就不需要by 了么?

increase 后面同时用上by 和between来表示范围,两个介词一起,我想不符合语法吧。


不知道这么说对不对咯


作者: julia_ggw    时间: 2005-11-2 03:04

我也来顶下下。


记得OG23里面大家也讨论了这个问题,好像是说如果increase作及物,比如increase salary,就不用介词。如果不及物,比如23题,就需要介词


study states that the number of women employed increased by more than 35 percent in the past decade


那么在这道题当中,是不是可以理解成用了介词between,就不用要by了吧?


请大家指教!

我倾向于认为,此题要表示一个范围,不是一个准确的增长数目,那么用BETWEEN。


BY是介词,后面直接跟名词。两个介词一起用,不合语法,读起来也怪怪的。


OPEN TO DISCUSSION

不知道D中的between 1982 and 1987对不对?


等NN


作者: tdyg    时间: 2006-2-26 03:27

小结一下:


increase between… and…增长是在多少与多少之间


increase from.. to..从多少增长到多少


increase by后面直接跟百分比,表示增长多少



作者: hyte    时间: 2006-3-6 17:32
我個人覺得increase by有隱涵一點"比較"的意思在~假設增加前100,增加後變102, 就表示增加前後差了2%, 所以用by!  這是我們台灣老師教的判斷方式

How Will An Increase From $6.75 to $7.75 in the California Minimum Wage Impact the California Economy?



作者: juliet01192000    时间: 2006-3-29 22:27

想问一下:


between1991and1993


from1991 to1993 这两个东东是一个意思吗?:)谢谢!


作者: juliet01192000    时间: 2006-3-30 19:54
一直不明白,继续顶!:)
作者: crazyyeah    时间: 2008-11-7 11:27
顶一下,当时就是因为by的问题而选错的
作者: dujuan034    时间: 2009-10-2 20:59

同问!


作者: JJJooe    时间: 2009-10-2 21:09
increase by后面接增长的具体值,可以是数量也可以使百分比什么的

decrease/rise/fall这些词都是一样的用法
