24. GWD26-Q24

According to United States census data, while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.

A.    while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.[h1] 

B.     there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home in 1975; in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home

C.     in 1975 about one-third of mothers with young children worked outside the home; in 2000, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home[h2] 

D.    even though in 1975 there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000[h3] 

E.     with about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000[h4] 

顶！

those也可以指代名词和其后的修饰成分？当初这题我也能看出such比those强，但就是说服不了自己，这里的those到底仅指mother,还是 one-third of mothers。

those mothers 指代不对＝如果是those mothers，意思就是从前的那些老妈活到现在，这些老妈本身的变化－－是同一批人。而题目意思明显说的是，从前那些带着孩子的妈妈怎样，现在，带着孩子的妈妈怎样，不是一批人。

另外，请MM把标题修改一下，加上题目编号。谢谢。

请先看两个例子

大全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

(A) weeks, but those that emerge in the cooler days of fall often live

(B) weeks, but those that emerge in the cooler days of fall often live as long or

(C) weeks, which is different from those that emerge in the cooler days of fall and often live

(D) weeks; then those that emerge in the cooler days of fall often live as long as or（A）

(E) weeks; this is different from those that emerge in the cooler days of fall, who often live

从这两个例子可以看出,如果用those作为代词来直接替代复数名词,those其实是指代是核心词,164中的vehicles,333中的houseflies,而且该种用法常常用在比较结构中.

而在本题中those是作为形容词出现的,those修饰mothers,因此those mothers就是前面出现的mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975(选项A,B)

agree,

those mums in 1975 would have become GRAND mothers in 2000.

实际上答案应为 C.

以上各位的讨论有道理。those 不大合适。

但本题的重点不在这里。I hightlight the mistakes below. Please take a look:

A.    while there was about one-third of mothers with young children
    working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.[h1] 
   

B.     there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home in 1975; in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home

C.     in 1975 about one-third of mothers with young children worked outside the home; in 2000, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home[h2] 
   

D.    even though in 1975 there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000[h3] 
   

E.     with about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000[h4] 
   

The A,B,D,E above all have problems with either worked or working because they seem to modify the word children. This kind of confusing sentences are a definite no no according to ETS.

欢迎斧正。 呵呵。
