GWD-12-Q13


    

Although energy prices have tripled
in the United States
over the last two years, research indicates few people to have significantly
reduced the amount of driving they do, nor are they making
fuel efficiency
a priority when shopping for cars.


    

 


    

A.     
few
people to have significantly reduced the amount of driving they do, nor are
they making


    

B.      
few
people having significantly reduced the amount of driving they do or made


    

C.     
that
there are few people who have significantly reduced the amount of driving they
do, nor having made


    

D.     
that
few people have significantly reduced the amount of driving they do and are not
making


    

E.      
that
few people have significantly reduced the amount of driving they do or made


    

======================================================================================
Questions:
1. choices中的"they do"中的do是代?
2. E中的made前是省了have significantly, 可是few people have significantly made fuel efficiency a priority意思上不是有點怪嗎?  找在google上search for "significant made" on nytimes.  沒有result.  如果是few people have made fuel efficiency a priority是可以理解...
Anyone?
Thanks.

E. have reduced 和 have made平行。significantly是修饰reduce没有修饰make

they do 修饰driving. 不是指代

謝謝.
1. 讚同they do是修amount of driving.  可是they do the amount of driving好像不知在說什麼.  如果您是說they do driving, 也不太對...(they do drive是有的)
2. hmm...沒見過這樣的省法...in general, 平衡句的省法很簡單, 這種selective的省法好像不太對...anyway, open to discussion =)

do感觉在指代drive,但是 they do补全了是什么么? as they drive in the past?不确定

siginicantly修饰reduce,made前省略的是主语和助动词吧,这个副词感觉好像不跟过来。

1. 如果do是指代的話, 一定要指代動詞....driving是動名詞...
2. umm....how about this:
The news has significantly lifted the price of the stock and significantly impacted the future of the company.
The news has significantly lifted the price of the stock and impacted the future of the company.
第一個好像廷wordy =.=||

感觉第一个wordy,英文尽量避免用重复的词汇吧。

第二个好点。

但是那个they do ,总觉得省略了一个连词

如果妳覺得第二個比較好, 那麼就等於妳讚同signnificantly是修and前後的動詞咯?
