4. A survey by the National Council of Churches showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of the nation's de twice as much as 1977.

| Some quantities, such as people, can be counted; other quantities, such as respect, cannot. It can be said that a person earned much respect, or that many people attended an event. Here, much is incorrectly applied to ministers. As 1977 incorrectly completes the comparison; it would have to be as many as in 1977, which is not one of the possible answers. Another way to make the comparison emphasizes the number, 20,736; a number can be doubled. Double the figure for 1977 places the focus on the number and correctly completes the comparison. A Much incorrectly refers to ministers; as should be as in B As 1977 does not correctly complete this comparison; it should be as in 1977 C What it was is awkward, wordy, and unclear D Correct. Double the figure places the emphasis of the sentence on the number of ministers; for 1977 correctly completes the comparison. E Wordy and awkward construction The correct answer is D. | 10. Unlike the United States, Japanese unions appear, reluctant to organize lower-paid workers.(A) Unlike the United States, Japanese unions appear reluctant to organize (B) Unlike those in the United States, Japanese unions appear reluctant to organize (C) In Japan, unlike the United States, unions appear reluctant about organizing (D) Japanese unions, unlike the United States, appear reluctant to organize (E) Japanese unions, unlike those in the United States, appear reluctant about organizing Idiom The intention of this sentence is to contrast American unions with Japanese unions.

The most effective structure is to begin the sentence, Unlike those in the United States, allowing the main clause to be about the Japanese unions. A The United States, rather than unions in the United States, is contrasted with Japanese unions B Correct. The contrasting element placed at the beginning of the sentence emphasizes difference; the correct contrast is drawn between Japanese unions and those (referring to unions) in the United States. C In Japan would have to be balanced by in the United States, but the preposition in cannot follow the preposition unlike; this construction is awkward and imprecise D Japanese unions are contrasted with the United States rather than with unions in the United States. E A more effective sentence begins with the contrasting element (unlike ...) and then places the subject and verb of the main clause together; reluctant must be followed by an infinitive (to organize) The correct answer is B. 第二个高亮处是说两个介词不能连接吗,但是第四题正确答案是两个介词连接的亚 (A) Unlike the United States, Japanese unions appear reluctant to organize (B) Unlike those in the United States, Japanese unions appear reluctant to organize (C) In Japan, unlike the United States, unions appear reluctant about organizing (D) Japanese unions, unlike the United States, appear reluctant to organize (E) Japanese unions, unlike those in the United States, appear reluctant about organizing Idiom The intention of this sentence is to contrast American unions with Japanese unions.
