大全99－新思路

99. Although the manager agreed to a more flexible work schedule, he said that it must be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor will know what everyone is assigned to do.

(A) he said that it must be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor will know what everyone is

(B) he said it had to be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor knows what everyone is

(C) he said that they would have to post the assignments on the bulletin board so that management and labor knew what everyone was

(D) he said that the schedule would have to be posted on the bulletin board so thatboth management and labor would know what everyone was

(E) saying that the schedule had to be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor would know what everyone had been

这道题以前有很多争论，有人说是D, 但大多数说是A，原因是must不能改成would have to.

我语法不好，但语感很强，第一次看到A就发现那个 it 用错。这个it不能代表前面那个schedule。前面那个schedule是指时间＝manager agreed to a more flexible work hour。后面那个it是日程表，是个实物=he said that the time sheet must be posted... 同是schedule, 两个meanings. 用了 it 就是最忌讳的代词指代问题。而且A中时态实在可疑，如果是 Although..., he said, "it must be...will...is" 还行。比起时态和代词问题，D中的would have to就是小问题了。欢迎讨论。

同意LZ的观点, D中写出了"the schedule",不得我觉得D比A好. 我觉得A时态有问题.

请大家讨论.

谢谢!!!

加油啊!!!

I prefer A.    就算schedule=hour, it is not wrong to say 'my manager need to post our hours out for us'.  Hours 这里是 'it'.

(D) he said that the schedule would have to be posted on the bulletin board so thatboth management and labor would know what everyone was

I don't think we can use was.  Because the schedule is going to posted and thus still in effect.  Therefore we must use present tense.  

  请指教

可是was 用的并没有错, assign是在post只前发生,用一般过去时. 而post用的是过去将来时.  这是可以的.

D: would be posted...would know...sth was assigned. I don't see a problem here.

Answer A, "will know...sth is assigned", has the same tense structure as D, but verbs are shifted to present tense. Answer A would be correct if it uses direct speech, which must be quoted in double-quotation mark.

As I said, the real problem here is in the "it".  If you think thoroughly about it, how can you post the "hour" on the wall? You must put it on paper before you can post. If you translate the sentence to Chinese, then the problem does seem less obvious, but I can feel it the first time I read it.

Different opinions are welcomed!

OG46.   A study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture showed that if calves exercise and associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do those raised in confinement.

(A) associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do

(B) associated with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight quicker than

(C) associate with other calves, they required less medication and will gain weight quicker than do

(D) associate with other calves, they have required less medication and will gain weight more quickly than do（E）

(E) associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than

ding..

第一个schedule不可能是hour的意思，因为工作时间量应该是固定的，比如8小时，只是上下班的时间可以变化而已阿。

想想覺得C好,

因為指示的更清楚(assignment,assign to everyone),且主動.

I also believe D is the correct answer but I don't think it in A has any problem. Work schedule means 工作的日程计划 and has nothing to do with time sheet.

I don't think that "must" implies subjective while "have to" implies objective. I did some research and below is my finding.

因此，我认为这道题的正确答案就是D。
