看菜鸟中不理解的几句话，谢谢大家

184. As measured by the Commerce Department, corporate
profits peaked in the fourth quarter of 1988 and have slipped since then, as
many companies have been unable to pass on higher costs.

(A) 
and have slipped since then, as many
            companies
have been unable to pass on higher costs

(B)  and
have slipped since then, the reason being because many companies have been
unable to pass on higher costs

(C)  and
slipped since then, many companies being unable to pass on higher costs

(D) 
but, many companies unable to pass on
            higher
costs, they have slipped since then

(E)  
yet are
slipping since then, because many companies were unable to pass on higher costs

, as 表原因。
        没有逗号的话表伴随。/ as 放在句首一般会产生歧义。      ?????????????????????????

189.
Proponents of artificial intelligence say they will be able to make computers
that can understand English and other human languages, recognize objects, and
reason as an expert does-computers that will be used to diagnose equipment
breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as
these.

(A)  as an
expert does--computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns,
deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these

(B)  as an
expert does, which may be used for purposes such as diagnosing equipment
breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan

(C)  like
an expert--computers that will be used for such purposes as diagnosing
equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan

(D) 
like an expert, the use of which would be for
            purposes
like the diagnosis of equipment breakdowns or the decision whether or not a
loan should be authorized

(E)  
like an expert, to be used to diagnose
            equipment
breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan or not, or the like

并列，另外like也更简洁。Such as these或者用this去代替前边的整个思想，这样的表达在gmat中都是笨拙的。????

199.
Because the Earth's crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit
shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area
100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the
West.

(A)  of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater
in the eastern United States
than it does in the West

(B)  
of a given magnitude will typically devastate
100 times the area if it occurs in the eastern United States instead of the West

(C)  will
typically devastate 100 times the area in the eastern United States
than one of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(D)  in the
eastern United States
will typically
            devastate an area 100 times greater than
will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(E)   that
occurs in the eastern United States will
            typically devastate
100 times more area than if it occurred with comparable magnitude in the West

.
            In choice C, 700 times the area... than is unidiomatic.

In the eastern
united states 放在越靠前的地方越好，对应because从句中的there。--仅仅凭这一条就可以在10秒钟之内解决问题。

207.
In the textbook publishing business, the second
            quarter is
historically weak, because revenues are low and marketing expenses are high

(C)  low
with higher marketing expenses in preparation

(D) 
low, while marketing expenses are higher to
            prepare

(E)   low,
while their marketing expenses are higher in

此处and连接两个主语不同的句子表对比，and前不用逗号，好像从句中出现这种情况不用！！！

209.
The Senate approved immigration legislation that would grant permanent
residency to millions of aliens currently residing here and if employers
hired illegal aliens they would be penalized.

(A)  if
employers hired illegal aliens they would be penalized

(B)  
hiring illegal aliens would be
a penalty for employers

(C) 
penalize employers who hire illegal aliens

(D)  penalizing
employers hiring illegal aliens

(E)   employers
to be penalized for hiring illegal aliens

1,有实践根据

2.和as引导的比较句相比,like是简洁,this不能单独使用

3,没有比较哪来的than,那个是状语,放在越前的地方避免歧义,大部分情况下是对的,但是也不一定.更重要的是那种可有可无的小的倒装,尽量不要用,og11经验

4,那种并列本来就不加,的阿,除非换了主语或者动词才会加的阿,倒是这里的as前没有逗号,所以表伴随,随着

5,B的表达的逻辑意思是错的

此处and连接两个主语不同的句子表对比，and前不用逗号，好像从句中出现这种情况不用！！！

The Senate approved immigration legislation that would grant permanent residency to millions of aliens currently residing here and hiring illegal aliens would be a penalty for employers

怎么解释后面的呢?

首先是一个判断句be,按照直接翻译就是顾A是一个惩罚,对ER来说

而原文要表达的意思是惩罚那些顾A的ER

天地良心阿,哪里有敷衍的意思

偶看了半小时的书才上去发言的阿

菜鸟的总结我没有看过 有些东西也理解不到

关于189 as跟like的区别 我觉得OG说的就是两点：当他们后面都加名词的时候 as表示的是function 哥哥用这个点去检查189 可以发现这里并不是为了说明function 而是为了表示“像”（相似性） 所以有as的选项都可以排除

such as these 如果用来表示举例 应该很别扭

OG我现在粗略的看了一下发现有个问题就是 such as后面都是用具体的名词表示列举 从来没有发现用代词表示列举的 哥哥 可以想一下 如果一个人举例总是用代词 比如说 我们 他们 还有这个人 你可能都会觉得很别扭

119我的确没有看懂菜鸟这个解释 觉得语序的位置不是改错的最高错误级 这道题 哥哥主要看比较两部分是不每一个部分都对等 119C最对称

1.an earthquake-a quake(主语） 2. in the eastern United States-in the west （介词结构）3. will typically devastate-will(省略需要重复的动词） 

207是考得平行 跟119解题原理差不多 就是看and连接的两个部分是否对等 revenues-marketing expenses; are-are, low-high 这里的as就是一个状语从句 可以忽略不看

很不幸 209还是考平行 看见and就找平行的成分 if/v-ing都不能找到相应的平行结构 只有grand跟penalize平行 that would grand and (would) penalize...

an earthquake will typically
            devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

本来打算看菜鸟的 但是突然觉得总结这个东西是个很主观的东西 而且每个人的弱点优势的分布都不太一样 所以建议哥哥不要过于依赖菜鸟的总结 自己总结参照菜鸟总结说不定效果更好 菜鸟总结在CD上很推崇 我想有他的道理 可能他的很多道理的解释 省略了一些基本原理的说明 所以看起来的时候才觉得比较难以理解
