82.According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier generations. (A) like that of earlier generations (B) as that for earlier generations (C) just as earlier generations did (D) as have earlier generations (E) as it was of earlier generations---正解 A项的问题 对比的两个对象是年轻人的目标和他们的先辈的目标 OG说这是平行的问题,必须把主谓都写出来,也就是说be动词也必须写出,要保持与前半句的完全对称,不太明白,为什么要这样呢? 另外like与as的问题也是,like作像...讲的时候是不是加n.加句子都ok呢? 101.Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or is interpret them when they do appear. (A) Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear. (B) An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that worked well in the past, makes missing signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear. (C) An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action is likely to miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past. (D) Executives’ being heavily committed to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes them likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them when they do appear. (E) Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.---正解 有一个超级不明白问题,in the past难道不应该是过去时的标志词?另外,解释说B选项的when从句的位置不对,这种问题怎么判断呢?我一直以为跟原句一样了就行,看来没那么简单的说...还有E项的being难道不是啰嗦吗? Rhetorical construction; Logical predication Th is sentence explains that an executive who is blindly committed to a proven course of action is likely to overlook or misinterpret indicators that the plan may no longer be working. Th e sentence needs to make clear who may misinterpret these indicators. A Th e passive construction causes the sentence to be wordy and confusing; the reference for it is ambiguous, leaving the reader with questions about who or what is likely to miss these signs. B Th e sentence structure indicates that the executive, not his or her strategy, causes signs to be overlooked; the modifi er when they do appear is misplaced. C Th e reference for the pronoun it is unclear because many nouns have intervened between the appearance of the logical referent (course of action) and it. D Misinterpreting should be an infi nitive verb form to parallel miss; the phrasing throughout the sentence is wordy and awkward. E Correct. Th e grammatical structure of this sentence and the appropriate placement of modifi ers expresses the meaning clearly and concisely. Th e correct answer is E
