大家有没有发现语法要求改变了

追风筝的熊 · 发表于 2018-10-25 10:30:11

我最近在看OG，发现，18年开始“Which的用法”以及“标点符号是不是考点”发生了改变。大家可以看一下 OG18-781
Gusty westerly winds will continue to usher in a seasonably cool air mass into the region, as a broad area of high pressure will build and bring fair and dry weather for several days.

Ato usher in a seasonably cool air mass into the region ,as a broad area of high pressure will build and
Bushering in a seasonably cool air mass into the region and a broad area of high pressure will build that
Cto usher in a seasonably cool air mass to the region , a broad area of high pressure building, and
Dushering a seasonably cool air mass in the region ,with a broad area of high pressure building and
Eto usher a seasonably cool air mass into the region while a broad area of high pressure builds , which will

正确答案: E

因为我是17年准备的，所以我曼哈顿语法和OG都是看过去的edition，我想会不会有小伙伴跟我一样，并没有留意到OG的新增的新题，以及删除的旧题。
变化就是 "which除了指代修饰前面就近的名词/或跳跃essential modifier修饰再前面的名词，还可以指代一整句话了！！

不好意思，请同学把官方解释贴出来，我也可以学习学习 ,谢谢

口语里用which是再正常不过了，口语里还说I don’t know nothing

I can’t give you the actual text of the correct answer, but here’s a similar example:

The hurricane will continue to develop while an area of high pressure spreads, which will cause torrential rain and possible flooding.

(I’m making this up; I have no idea how the weather really works!)

Have you studied “comma-which” modifiers yet? If so, you’ll know that a comma-which modifier generally refers to just a noun, and that noun is usually right before or very close to the “comma-which.”

In this problem, the verb spreads intervenes between the noun and the comma-which modifier—that’s unusual for the GMAT. You can certainly have, in certain circumstances, some words that intervene between the noun and the comma-which modifier, but usually (on the GMAT) we see other nouns or prepositional phrases in between, not verbs.

大神mike的解释

Gusty westerly winds will continue to usher a seasonably cool air mass into the region while a broad area of high pressure builds, which will bring fair and dry weather for several days.

As I'm sure you understand, a noun-modifying clause beginning with "which" normally should obey the Modifier Touch Rule. Of course, there are a few exceptions to the Touch Rule. One is that a single, grammatically necessary word can come between the target noun and the "which" clause.

Here, the target noun modified by "which" is "a broad area of high pressure." All that comes between this target noun and the "which" is the verb "builds." Now, this structure may raise your suspicions: normally the structure [noun][verb]"which" is highly problematic because that "which" clause is trying to modify the action of the verb, a highly naughty thing for it to be attempting! Normally, that's a problem, because most verbs are "action verbs," so the word "which" would be touching an action! The situation is totally different with what I would call "being verbs," rather than "action verbs," especially a "being verb" that is about the noun coming into greater existence, because then the verb functions logically almost as an intensifier for the noun. That's exactly what is happening here. The verb "builds," used here, is a "being verb"--it's simply about the noun coming into greater existence, so it "points to" and intensifies the noun. Therefore, it does not interrupt the logical link between the target noun and the modifier clause--in fact, it enhances that logical link.

It's one of the many reasons this question is a gem--a structure that normally would be a trainwreck is actually exquisitely correct here. The official questions are simply extraordinary.
