A项的问题

OG说这是平行的问题,必须把主谓都写出来,也就是说be动词也必须写出,要保持与前半句的完全对称,不太明白,为什么要这样呢？

另外like与as的问题也是，like作像...讲的时候是不是加n.加句子都ok呢？

有一个超级不明白问题，in the past难道不应该是过去时的标志词？另外，解释说B选项的when从句的位置不对，这种问题怎么判断呢？我一直以为跟原句一样了就行，看来没那么简单的说...还有E项的being难道不是啰嗦吗？

Rhetorical construction; Logical predication
Th is sentence explains that an executive who is
blindly committed to a proven course of action is
likely to overlook or misinterpret indicators that
the plan may no longer be working. Th e sentence
needs to make clear who may misinterpret these
indicators.
A Th e passive construction causes the sentence to be wordy and confusing; the reference for
it is ambiguous, leaving the reader with
questions about who or what is likely to miss
these signs.
B Th e sentence structure indicates that the
executive, not his or her strategy, causes signs
to be overlooked; the modifi er when they do
appear is misplaced.
C Th e reference for the pronoun it is unclear
because many nouns have intervened
between the appearance of the logical
referent (course of action) and it.
D Misinterpreting should be an infi nitive verb
form to parallel miss; the phrasing
throughout the sentence is wordy and
awkward.
E Correct. Th e grammatical structure of this
sentence and the appropriate placement of
modifi ers expresses the meaning clearly and
concisely.
Th e correct answer is E

自己顶一下

哦，那什么时候该用精确指代it，什么时候该用that呢？我以前还从没想过这个问题

感觉好像一般都用that和those代替相同的指代对象呢...

like 作“像”不加句子

as 作“像”加句子。。。

XDF老师的笔记。。。

补充下，it/they 做精确指代指同名同物。

that/those 做泛指，只指代同名不同物。

具体的例子LZ 可以 P看PREP 破解，上面强调很多次的。

至于第二题 in the past / over the past / in past years 都要用现在完成时态。不过我也是看到being 直接排除了..........而且怎么都觉得E 很罗索.
