gwd 7, 29,33 困惑

Q29:

A leading figure in the Scottish enlightenment, Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism what Marx’s Das Kapital is to socialism.

1. Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism what
   
   



2. Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism like
   
   



3. Adam Smith’s two major books are to democratic capitalism just as
   
   



4. Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism similar to
   
   



5. Adam Smith wrote two major books that are to democratic capitalism what

29  - A be to B what A' be to B' 是一个固定结构，可以粗糙地理解为：A和B的关系相当于A'和B'的关系，至于to怎么理解就自己看着办了。

33 - in addition to和besides都是介词结构开头，有找逻辑主语的问题，关于这个考点可以参考OG19(in addition to)，OG241(besides)，其实besides还有一种表达，即用besides doing ... , A do ... 来表达动作的平行通货四主语省略，这个时候，besides后的逻辑主语是A，平行关系是建立在doing和do上，而不是doing和A上的；相关的考点还可以参考：OG82(in contrast to)，OG141(unless-连词就没有找主语问题)；

这里是介词+动名词呀，动名词既有名词性又有动词性。

名词性体现在它可以做主语，宾语。

动词性体现在它可以接宾语，状语从而组成动名词短语。

偶觉得这题的E选项简直就是perfect，因为它融合了上面几乎所有关于动名词的性质，记着它，以后这类题目就不会错了。呵呵

谢谢楼上两位的

我也明白些了 多谢大家！

謝謝stornren

我依你的作法，刪到剩AE，我覺得A好，可答案是E對

難不成關鍵在 a leading figure?

For Q33, the subject of the sentence after ";" is  "the leaves", so "its" in A, B and "it" in C cannot refer to "the leaves".  

"the possible preventing and inhibiting of" in D is definitely not an idiomatic phrase. only left for E which is much better to use "besides possibly doing".

29 题A 中的a leading figure只能指亚当。斯密。不能指代他的两本书。
