标题: OG 13SC 77 问题讨论
A 1972 agreementbetween Canada and the United States reduced the amount of phosphates
that municipalitieshad been allowed to dump into the Great Lakes.
(A) reduced the amountof phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump
(B) reduced thephosphate amount that municipalities had been dumping
(C) reduces thephosphate amount municipalities have been allowed to dump
(D) reduced the amount ofphosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump
(E) reduces the amountof phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities
OG中的解释是Sincethe dumping continued after the date of the agreement, the past perfect verb had been allowed should instead be the present are allowed
题干的意思为什么不是:agreement减少了phosphates的量,(因为在agreement前市民可以把这些物质倒入湖里)
市民可以将物质倒入水里发生在agreement之前,agreement才能起到制约作用吖~
所以是allow 发生在reduce之前,用过去完成时
求轻拍 = =

这道题我当时也做错了,后来看了新东方OG13的讲解。如果用had been allowed就是说:1972年以后就不allow了。但事实是一直到现在还允许倒,只是少了,所以不能用过去完成时。
市民可以将物质倒入水里这个行为就没停过,一直在倒。
其实我也感觉这个解释略显牵强,但是OG官方的解释也算合理,就这么理解吧。

这道题细说其实违反了GMAT对于“解答问题无需专业背景知识,只需根据语义和逻辑判读”的说辞。
这道题,如果不是美国学生,比如你和我,我们中国学生,哪里会知道“其实政府现在还允许市民往五大湖里面倒磷”这件事?我们只能根据语义上的暗示,按照时态来做,结果就是错的。这道题偏向了美国考生,对中国学生不公。
