Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were relatively simple and static, Barbara McClintock adhered to her own more complicated ideas about how genes might operate, and in 1983, at the age of 81, was awarded a Nobel Prize for her discovery that the genes in corn are capable of moving from one chromosomal site to another.
E,Even with many of her colleagues convinced of genes being relatively simple and static
这道题我选C,因为文中是强对比关系,比较她的同事的态度,Barbara McClintock 是什么态度,EVEN THOUGH只有转折关系,此处BEING用来不错,因为后面有THAT从句,请NN指教。
偶的印象中contrary to 后面是加观点、信念等,一般不加人。
而且C这种表达不简洁。--哈哈,好像是一句空话,不过偶真的是这么认为的。
Contrary to放在句首的话,其作用是对后面整个主句而言的。主句中说了并列的两点:一是BMC坚持自己的观点;二是BMC获得诺贝尔奖。一可以作为对比关系出现,二不可以,Contrary to中没说BMC的同事没获得过诺贝尔奖,没法对比。
记得是OG还是白勇语法里有讲解CONTRARY TO 不是对比人的,一般是对比观点立场等等。
答案是D吗?
白勇老师的语法课讲解认为CONTRARY TO 应跟抽象名词。
B为什么不对啊?
B为什么不对啊?
B. Although many of her colleagues were of the conviction of genes being relatively simple and static
首先B违背了简洁原则:动词的被动形式convinced优于be of the conviction...这种of+名词形式。OG里面有很多类似的题目。
另外colleagues were of the conviction of ...也不符合习惯用法。要表示人有什么强烈的opinion应该用colleagues had/held the conviction...。of convictions (注意是复数)表示笼统的“有很多strong opinions”,后面也不加具体的conviction的内容。比如(Longman例句)She is a woman of strong political convictions.
可是D选项Even though 从句也是引领全句的呀!
这好像不能做为反对C的论据,C关键错在contrary to 用法unidiomatic并且being多余
顶起来,问个问题:正确选项D的were convinced that....我觉得很奇怪。
用被动?不是应该主动吗?
convinced的用法
be convinced that
例句:He was convinced that I was part of the problem.
从这题看来
Although 和 Even though 的用法没有区别是吗?
UP
偶也有同样疑问
I think “being” structure is awkward in C. For many times in OG, EST has stated that sentence often expresses more clearly.
1.最困扰我的是原来把理解be convince 成“被说服”的意思,跟原文的convinction (n.确信)含义有差别。但是查字典后发现"be convinced that"是个固定搭配,表示“确信,承认”的意思。
2.be convinced that比be of the convinction of(简洁)
3.定语从句表示状态和结果,现在分词表示动作重复,连续
d 对
I disagree. Although - Regardless of the fact that; even though.
On the other hand, although and though have subtle differeneces. As conjunctions, although and though are generally interchangeable: Although (or though) she smiled, she was angry. Although is usually placed at the beginning of its clause (as in the preceding example), whereas though may occur elsewhere and is the more common term when used to link words or phrases, as in wiser though poorer. In certain constructions, only though is acceptable: Fond though (not although) I am of sports, I'd rather not sit through another basketball game.
请教NN,Even though 不是副词吗,怎么可以引导从句呢?百思不得其解,可能是我的语法盲点,恳请各位批评指导,谢谢!
我还是对Even though...,SVO and VO.有疑问 主句中的第二个动词可以和从句没有这种让步关系吗?
如果是介词短语在句首,修饰对象是主句的第一个动词,还是整个主句(两个动词都修饰)?
还想请教contray to的用法,能不能跟人?

剑桥美国英语辞典 :
noun
a fact or opinion that is the opposite of one already stated
We expected the play to be a bore, but the contrary was true.
再问一个关于contray to的问题:它需要像unlike一样逻辑主语一致吗?
C:错 contrary to +1.idears 2.opinions 3.atctions
E:错 with 做句首 1.in spite of 2.because of 都有问题
(出自 LDOCE Online )
A B: 动词优于抽象名词
A:平行堆成
我选了B,不过回头才想起GMAT公里中好像说being是多余的
C:错 contrary to +1.idears 2.opinions 3.atctions
E:错 with 做句首 1.in spite of 2.because of 都有问题
(出自 LDOCE Online )
A B: 动词优于抽象名词
A:平行堆成
为什么with不能放句首阿。。。。。
再问一个关于contray to的问题:它需要像unlike一样逻辑主语一致吗?
顶。。
我也想知道contray to 是不是需要對稱呢?
另外 with真的不能放句首嗎??
可是還是有用with當句首的句子阿?
再问一个关于contray to的问题:它需要像unlike一样逻辑主语一致吗?
顶。。
不需要。
对于C的being我也觉得不妥,但是,even though难道不算改变句意吗, 因为contrary to和unlike是可以互换的,但even though有让步的意思了吧?? NN们请指点...
