OG 83


83. Any medical test will sometimes fail to detect


a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one when it is not.


(A)  a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one


(B)  when a condition is present and indicate that there is one


(C)  a condition when it is present and indicate that it is present


(D)  when a condition is present and indicate its presence


(E)   the presence of a condition when it is there and indicate its presence


Only choice C, the best answer, produces a sentence in which every pronoun it refers clearly and logically to the noun condition. In choices A and B, the phrase indicate that there . is one does not grammatically fit with when it is not because it has no referent. Choices B and D are imprecise in saying that a test will fail to detect when a condition is present, since the issue is the presence and not the timing of the condition. Further, its presence in D leaves the it in when it is not without a logical referent: it must refer to condition, not presence. Choice E repeats this error; also, the presence ... when it is there is imprecise and redundant.


解释看不懂,能不能请牛人解释一下

A中的it为什么不能指代condition啊?

个人理解:

it & one都归属代词的范畴,代词之间指代的用法不地道,

(A)最后一个it指代的对象是"one"(there is one)

hope helpful

以下是引用wendybao在2005-5-22 17:38:00的发言:

83. Any medical test will sometimes fail to detect a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one when it is not.

(A)  a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one

(B)  when a condition is present and indicate that there is one

(C)  a condition when it is present and indicate that it is present

(D)  when a condition is present and indicate its
                    presence

(E)   the presence of a condition when it is there and
                    indicate its presence

一种医学检查,有时候检验结果显示没有这种病,实际上是有的;而检验结果有时显示有这种病的时候,实际上却没有。(类似逻辑题中的那道“最低比例阳性/最低比例阴性)

本题我觉得主要考两点,一是代词指代,IT在本题中只能指代一个东东,只有C中是没有歧义的,就是condition。

另外一个考点就是对称。 will fail、、、(will) indicate、、并列的成份也要一致。比如D中,前半部分是状语从句,后半部分是名词,不对称的。

第三就是:there is 这种句型表示客观存在(比如河边有棵树),在SC中作正确选项的比例很低,我现在不敢说一般是错的,但要十分警惕。

另外:关于这种错误/正确的阴性/阳性等题目,建议搞搞清楚,数学机经还有道类似的题,相当难。完全同一样的题材,同时在数学、语法、逻辑中考,不是偶然的。也许老美喜欢这些东东,对出题者来说,他们可能有个变态的想法:就是“这些东东一不小心就被搞错了”尤其是对母语不是英语的人,又加了一层读题的障碍。
