[求助]OG-S1-15代词指代的疑问

15.   Joplin’s faith in his opera “Tremonisha” was unshakable; in 1911 he published the score at his own expense and decided on staging it himself.

(A) on staging it himself

(B) that he himself would do the staging

(C) to do the staging of the work by himself

(D) that he himself would stage it（E）

(E) to stage the work himself

Choice A is poorly worded: it refers to the score, not to the opera itself, and decided on staging it is unidiomatic.

Choice B does not specify what it was that Joplin decided to stage.

Stage sth. 及物动词. 要宾语.

Do the staging变成”作道具”的意思

Choice C is unidiomatic and needlessly wordy.

Because the pronoun reference of it is faulty, choice D, like choice A, confuses staging the score with staging the work. Choice E is best for this easy question.

Joplin’s faith…..; he…这里的指代是否有问题，参考181

181. Because of the enormous research and development expenditures required to survive in the electronics industry, an industry marked by rapid innovation and volatile demand, such firms tend to be very large.

(A) to survive

(B) of firms to survive

(C) for surviving

(D) for survival（B）

(E) for firms’ survival

The subject of the main clause (such firms) presumes a prior reference to the firms in question. Furthermore, the logical subject of to survive and the logical complement of required should be made explicit. All three demands are met by B, the best choice. Choices A, C, and D, with no reference to the firms in question, meet none of these demands. In choice E, the illogical and awkward use of a prepositional phrase (for firms’ survival) buries the needed initial reference to firms in a possessive modifier.

Summary: active mood: x require y to do; passive mood: y be required of x to do; require of sb that..do…; require that…do..

Firm’s survival…..such firm错误

一句题外话不得不先说:服了gg了,实在太仔细,这样的程度,我想你快把og背下来了吧,嘻嘻, 真心实意向gg严谨的治学态度致敬!

我也只是从181总结过代词不能指代possessive状态的名词,没想到15里的问题,唉,可恨的ets!!!

不过这里因为选项都用he或himself, 再配上decide to所以我决定耍个花枪,只能不考虑possessive问题了.  我是不是有点赖...

我觉得原文中“;”前自己都用了his了，那么后面再用he应该就没什么疑问的了。

Juan, 这里根据我的总结，有个东东要告诉你。

sth1, it/its都可以，也就是说sth1, its前名词，后所有格，正确。

但是sth1's sth2, it; it指代 sth1错误，OG里多的很。

下面：A,B,E中的they只能指代fees. 因为officers' 是所有格。

90.   Since 1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.

(A) investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began

(B) investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

(C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun

(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun（D）

(E) that investment officers’ fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

The clause beginning Since 1986... indicates that the practice described in the second clause continued for some period of time after it began. Choice D, the best answer, supplies the present perfect have begun, which conveys this continuity; D also uses a construction that is appropriate when “allow” means “permit”: allow... to be based on. Choices A, B, and E incorrectly use the past tense began rather than the present perfect; furthermore, in each of these options, they has no referent, since officers is a possessive modifier of fees. Choices A and C include the awkward phrase based on how the funds they manage perform. Choices C and E incorrectly use allow that...fees be based.

To be discussed....
