45. Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – which was once considered questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed as his own.
A Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – which was once considered questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed as his own.
B Though William Shakespeare is now universally accepted to be a real, historical person – once considered as questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed to be his own.
C William Shakespeare – now universally accepted as a real, historical person, though even this fact was once considered questionable – who is still suspected, by some, not to have written all of the works attributed to him.
D Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable – he is still suspected, by some, of not having written all of the works attributed to him.
E Some still suspect that William Shakespeare did not write all of the works attributed as his own, although it is now universally accepted that he was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable.

题目解析：
本题中大量的设计了idiom的用法，可见掌握好常用idiom对做题十分有帮助，也对自己写作不至于出错很有用处。详见下面分析。
此题中有个很关键的idiom, attribute sth to sb,被动语态变为sth be attributed to sb, 意思是“认为某作品出自某人之手”。attribute 还有“属性，特性”的意思，as attribute 意为“作为特性”。
A破折号后的which显然是指代前面的让步状语从句，这是不符合GMAT"which 不能指代句子”的语法规则的。attribute sth as ab的用法错误。suspect sth. 或者suspect sb of doing sth，或者suspect sb sth,suspect that....都是idiomatic,但是ABC三个选项中的suspect 用法都有误。
B 插入的同位语语once considered as questionable没有逻辑主语。considered as questionable中的as多余。attribute to be的用法比attribute to wordy.accept as 表示to consent to receive or consider someone as a particular type of person or a person who can serve a particular role. accept to be不符合idiomatic.
C now universally accepted as a real, historical person,从结构上看是个修饰语，而不是做插入语，用破折号不恰当。though even 用法不idiomtic, 应为even though. who从句离先行词太远。而且整个句子结构不完整，没有谓语。
D 正确选项。插入语a fact that。。。恰当的指代了前面“it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person”这件事情。主语的主语he清楚明确的指代先行词William Shakespeare。attribute to的被动语态用法正确。
E attribute as用法错误。而且插入语放在最后时，是对主语的描述还是对从句的描述？不清晰，容易引起歧义。

思维点评：
一楼对本题语法点把握的比较到位，注意B项中同位语缺乏逻辑主语；同时suspect sb to do的用法不符合idiomatic.
二楼对A和B的分析很准确，which不能指代句子，如需指代句子，可用抽象名词来指代，本题中可用fact.在感到无解的时候，可以选择把确定能排除掉得排除后剩下的那个。GMAT语法题目的逻辑是选best，而不一定是ideal。
三楼分析的很好。不过D项的that was 并不是多余，在这里fact作为同位语的逻辑主语，that。。。是对其修饰的定语从句。如果去掉的话同位语就变成独立主格结构（n. + v-ed)，a fact once considered questionable，虽然意思不变，不过语法结构变了。
六楼分析的真好，我没有注意到的accept to be的用法错误也注意到了，奖励一下~~~to be常用来表示“将要，将来”的意味，而Shakespeare被认为是real，historical person是已经发生的事情。 of not having written...实际上是suspect sb of doing sth的一部分。虽然D项主句用了被动，但是由于suspect of这个词组常用被动表示某人被怀疑，he的指代也清晰明了，所以用在这里没有不妥当的地方。E项的问题参见题目点评部分。GMAT语法题目的逻辑是选best，而不一定是ideal，相信这个原则会对你有帮助。

A which 不能指代句子
B accept to be 不是习惯表达
C 破折号插入的位置不对造成全句没有谓语动词
D Correct 破折号引出同位语，去除破折号全句符合正常表达顺序
E attribute as 不是习惯表达

A中的破折号引出的which从句，which不能指代句子，曾经质疑的是莎士比亚是真实的历史人物，而不是质疑莎士比亚本人，B同样也是改变了原意，而且attribute to be错误。
C 没有谓语，且wordy，不简洁。
D 的后半句，he is still suspect of not having written...，我觉得看见了of doing绝大部分都是错误的，因为wordy。
但是，E中的attribute as也是错误的。所以这道题对于我很无解。
蒙一个吧，D。

A Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – which was once considered questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed as his own.

Which无法指代整句话。Suspect sb. Of doing sth. Attribute sth. to sb./sth.
B Though William Shakespeare is now universally accepted to be a real, historical person – once considered as questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed to be his own.

Consider后面应该直接加形容词，as多余。Suspect sb. Of doing sth.
C William Shakespeare – now universally accepted as a real, historical person, though even this fact wasonce considered questionable – who is still suspected, by some, not to have written all of the works attributed to him.

去掉破折号，整个句子缺少谓语。句子结构混乱。Suspect sb. Of doing sth.
D Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable – he is still suspected, by some, of not having written all of the works attributed to him.

Correct。（虽然觉得that was 多余）
E Some still suspect that William Shakespeare did not write all of the works attributed as his own, although it is now universally accepted that he was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable.

Attribute sth. to sb./sth.

A which不能指代一句话 B considered 修饰不清楚 C 主句的动词没了 D suspect sb of doing是正确的表达 E 的as 搭配不当

选D
Universally accepted的是整件事不是william shakespeare这个人，所以排除B和C
Which不可指代整句话，排除A
E选项wordy，而且结构很不清晰
D最好

A Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – which was once considered questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed as his own.
B Though William Shakespeare is now universally accepted to be a real, historical person – once considered as questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed to be his own.
C William Shakespeare – now universally accepted as a real, historical person, though even this fact was once considered questionable – who is still suspected, by some, not to have written all of the works attributed to him.
D Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable – he is still suspected, by some, of not having written all of the works attributed to him.
E Some still suspect that William Shakespeare did not write all of the works attributed as his own, although it is now universally accepted that he was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable.

首先排除ABC选项
A选项：which逻辑上应指代前面整个句子表达的事实，但语法上不能指代前面整个句子，错；suspect sb to do错误结构；复杂的介词短语not to have written...在GMAT中更倾向于使用从句表达，更简洁明了。
B选项：accept后应使用as而不是to be，once considered as questionable修饰对象不明，也可能修饰person，导致逻辑错误；suspect sb to do错误结构；复杂的介词短语not to have written...在GMAT中更倾向于使用从句表达，更简洁明了。
C选项：整个句子缺少谓语；中间的同位语中还有另一个与被修饰主语无关的句子，奇怪的结构

DE选项有点纠结：
D选项：不必要的被动语态，GMAT更偏向主动语态；复杂的介词短语of not having written...在GMAT中更倾向于使用从句表达，更简洁明了。
E选项：吃不准attribute as his own是否正确

但更倾向于选E吧

A 错，to have的将要做xxx的语境错，因为说的是过去的作品（没看出with指代从句的错误；）
B 错，to have的将要做xxx的语境错，因为说的是过去的作品；插入语怀疑的是莎士比亚本人？
C 错，插入语后的who不必要
D 对
E 错，插入语a fact是修饰suspect吗？

B Though William Shakespeare is now universally accepted to be a real, historical person – once considered as questionable – some still suspect him not to have written all of the works attributed to be his own.-->这里的once也是修饰人，不能说人questionable.
C William Shakespeare – now universally accepted as a real, historical person, though even this fact was once considered questionable – who is still suspected, by some, not to have written all of the works attributed to him.-->句子结构不完整，无谓语。
D Though it is now universally accepted that William Shakespeare was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable – he is still suspected, by some, of not having written all of the works attributed to him.-->not having 结构感觉怪怪的.R
E Some still suspect that William Shakespeare did not write all of the works attributed as his own, although it is now universally accepted that he was a real, historical person – a fact that was once considered questionable.-->attribute as错。

我觉得应该是同位语概括前面这件事·
