Although some officials noted that using machines for farming in China costs more than traditional hand cultivation,the mechanization of farming in the village of longBow doubled the corn yield while the previous year's costs were cut in half.

B mechanization of farming in the village of LongBow doubled the corn yield while cutting costs to half those of the previous year

E farming mechanization in the billage of Long Bow doubled the corn yield while costs were cut to half that of the previous year

我选了E，可是答案是B。我知道应该是mechanizaiton of farming 和farming mechanization的区别，可是，我不清楚真正的意思是什么？哪位大牛不吝赐教。

我汇总了一个大全注释，你可先参看一下。有不清楚地或是不明白的，可再发贴大家讨论。

谢谢jnlvo，我之前找到的都是885的题，对不上我下载的大全的题号。

这题在BE之间选择的时候选了E, 因为感觉ETS好像不喜欢拟人, 这里的mechanization of farming 能cut cost吗?

但是OG里面关于can,afford,bring about的例子里面解释都说不可以让物执行动作啊?!

31. Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.

(A) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.

(B) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, which they admit they lack, many people are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.

(C) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, analytical skills bring out a disinclination in many people to recognize that they are weak to a degree.

(D) Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.

(E) Many people have a disinclination to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills.

Choice D is best. Choice A illogically compares skills to a disinclination; choice B compares skills to many people. Choice C makes the comparison logical by casting analytical skills as the subject of the sentence, but it is awkward and unidiomatic to say skills bring out a disinclination. Also in C, the referent of they is unclear, and weak to a degree changes the meaning of the original statement. In E, have a disinclination... while willing is grammatically incomplete, and admit their lack should be admit to their lack. By making people the subject of the sentence, D best expresses the intended contrast, which pertains not so much to skills as to people's willingness to recognize different areas of weakness.

其它的例子就不帖了,大同小异,MM觉得原因何在呢?

谢谢!

66. The Federal Reserve Board's reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgment of past economic trends and an effort to influence their future direction.

(A) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgment of past economic trends and an effort

(B) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgment both of past economic trends as well as an effort

(C) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends and attempt

(D) reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgment both of past economic trends and an effort

(E) reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends as well as attempt

Choice A is best. In B, both must come before acknowledgment if it is to link acknowledgment and effort; as misplaced here, it creates the unfulfilled expectation that the reduction of interest rates will be an acknowledgment of two different things. Moreover, both... as well as ... is redundant: the correct idiom is both x and y. In C, the plural verbs acknowledge and attempt do not agree with their singular subject, reduction; also, it is imprecise to characterize a reduction as performing actions such as acknowledging or attempting. In both D and E, the use of the participle reducing rather than the noun reduction is awkward. Like B, D misplaces both, while E repeats both the redundancy of B and the agreement error of C.

但是OG31的那句 but it is awkward and unidiomatic to say skills bring out a disinclination.,和上面那题的红字部分如何理解呢?

我觉得没有你说的动词使用倾向。就是有，也没有必要去记。拿到任何一个句子，只要看看主语是不是动词动作的发出者就行了。

如：analytical skills bring out a disinclination，和原来意思：人们不愿意承认自己分析技术差，体会一下，分析技术能发出这个bring out a disinclination的动作吗？来两句汉语的句子吧：她不愿意承认爱你<=>爱带来了她对你的不愿意承认。怎么样？awkward且unidiomatic吧？是她不愿意承认，没爱的事。

OG66，一看就知道reduction, acknowledgement, effort, attempt都是FRB的事，动作发出者当然就只能是FRB了，reduction能成为动作的发出者吗？

我的结论：没有天生就不能作主语的名词，也没有天生就要人陪的动词，只有在错误的地点错误地呆在一起的名词和动词。

以下是引用blueshandy在2005-3-15 22:46:00的发言：

B mechanization of farming in the village of LongBow doubled the corn yield while cutting costs to half those of the previous year

E farming mechanization in the billage of Long Bow doubled the corn yield while costs were cut to half that of the previous year

我选了E，可是答案是B。我知道应该是mechanizaiton of farming 和farming mechanization的区别，可是，我不清楚真正的意思是什么？哪位大牛不吝赐教。

通读了一遍贴子，LZ的问题好像好是没有解决；大全95的相关贴子也都看了，没有希望的答案。
