请教大全93,165,168,714题
1) C 的解释不是特别理解,他的结构不如A好? 还是说ETS篇好用so .. that?
136. Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so debilitating that it has become an economic drain on many developing countries.
A. it is so debilitating that it has become an economic
B. it is of such debilitation, it has become an economical
C. so debilitating is it as to become an economic
D. such is its debilitation, it becomes an economical
E. there is so much debilitation that it has become an economical
Choice A is best: is links the noun schistosomiasis with its modifier, debilitating, and so debilitating that idiomatically introduces a clause that provides a further explanation of debilitating. Choices B, D, and E produce awkward, wordy, imprecise, or unidiomatic phrases by substituting the noun debilitation for the modifier debilitating. Choices B and D fail to introduce the explanatory clause with that, and C uses an awkward and wordy construction in place of a that... clause. Finally, B, D, and E wrongly use economical instead of economic to mean "pertaining to the economy."

C的结构不如A好，而且很别扭

2)大全714
which 修饰对象的判断?
按照OG的解释, 在如下结构中, which修饰前面的funding, 但为什么不是the park呢?
development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next year,
原题如下:

164. The commission proposed that funding for the park's development, which could be open to the public early next year. is obtained through a local bond issue.
A. that funding for the park's development, which could be open to the public early next year, is
B. that funding for development of the park, which could be open to the public early next year, be
C. funding for the development of the park, perhaps open to the public early next year, to be
D. funds for the park's development, perhaps open to the public early next year, be
E. development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next year, is to be
Choice B is best. Choice A attaches the relative clause which could be open ... to the noun development, when, in fact, it is the park that could be open. Choice C omits that, the object of proposed that is needed to introduce the clause describing the proposal. C also uses to be unidiomatically where be is correct: the commission proposed [that] funding ... to be obtained is wrong. Choice D incorrectly uses perhaps open to 　
the public ... to modify development; the phrase should modify park. Choice E, which seriously distorts meaning, says that the commission proposed development funding and that such funding could be open to the public ....


。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Boy! You got to read the OG carefully. which修饰the park.!!!!



3) 大全165
165. At Shiprock, New Mexico, a perennially powerful girls' high school basketball team has become a path to college for some and a source of pride for a community where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are below the poverty level.
A. where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are
B. where they have 49 percent of the household incomes
C. where 49 percent of the household incomes are
D. which has 49 percent of the household incomes
E. in which 49 percent of them have household incomes
C, the best choice, uses a clear, direct, and economical adjective clause to indicate the percentage of household incomes below the poverty line in the community in question. Choices A and E insert the pronoun them without a stated antecedent. In addition, the wording of both A and E confuses the percentage of community residents (the implied referent of them) with the percentage of households, not the same thing at all. Choice B introduces the pronoun they without an antecedent. Furthermore, the use of have in B and E and of has in D illogically suggests that the community possesses 49% of all the household incomes below the poverty line.

问题: 对C有些不理解.
本题的意思应该是:
100个家庭里面, 有49个家庭, 这些家庭的家庭收入低于贫困线;
where 49 percent of the household incomes are below the poverty level.
这句话的意思总觉得是说: 家庭收入的49%低于贫困线, 而不是说49%的家庭,其收入低于贫困线.是否改为如下更好?
Where the income levels of 49 percent of the households are below the poverty level;
或者:
where 49 percent of the households have incomes below the poverty level.

明明可以说得简洁明了的为什么要那么累赘呢？？


4) 大全168, Double和twice的问题
如果把A改成: produces twice the apples it produced in 1910. 对嘛?
168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.
A. double the apples that it has
B. twice as many apples as it did
C. as much as twice the apples it has
D. two times as many apples as there were
E. a doubling of the apples that it did

twice 是副词。

he work twice as hard as he did.
I read the book twcie a day.

所以你德用法还是不对。
