两道对指代疑惑的题987-164，185

164.                  Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane, a simple hydrocarbon, vehicles powered by natural gas emit less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel.

(A) less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel

(B) fewer of certain pollutants than burning gasoline or diesel fuel do

(C) less of certain pollutants than gasoline or diesel fuel

(D) fewer of certain pollutants than does burning gasoline or diesel fuel（E）

(E) less of certain pollutants than those burning gasoline or diesel fuel

这题1）E难道those没有指代pollutants的疑问？毕竟pollutants离它最近啊

         2）than后面实义动词一致时是不是能省则省？这里后面的emit省了

       185。 By 1914, ten of the western states had granted women the right to vote, but only one in the East.

(A) only one in the East

(B) only one eastern state

(C) in the East there was only one state

(D) in the East only one state did（E）

(E) only one in the East had

这题没人问过（补充211），当时就是觉得one在这里也有可能指代women有歧义，一念之差选了D，对ONE的指代有点模糊，E没有歧义吗？谢谢

164

those 指代的是vehicles,than 前后比较对象应该一致,而不是就近指代.就近指代一般是that,which,either or ,neither nor,or 等.一般than 后是如有动词是助动词.而且如果有助动词出现且是正确的话,应该优先考虑.如没有也不是错.

185

D中did 不对,因为前面是过去完成时.E没有起义,one有歧义应该是指句中有he ,it ,they出现才会有歧义吧

代词的歧义绝对是最后判断的, 第一题首要判断比较对像对等, 第二题west和east对应的非常工整, 产生歧义可能性不大.

我发觉我对代词理解已经走火入魔了，惨
