42. Twenty-two feet long and 10 feet in diameter, the AM-1 is one of the many new satellites that is a part of 15 years effort of subjecting the interactions of Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces to detailed scrutiny from space. (A) satellites that is a part of 15 years effort of subjecting the interactions of Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces (B) satellites, which is a part of a 15-year effort to subject how Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces interact (C) satellites, part of 15 years effort of subjecting how Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces are interacting (D) satellites that are part of an effort for 15 years that has subjected the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces (E) satellites that are part of a 15-year effort to subject the interactions of Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces 答案是E。这道我明白that修饰satellites。但在搜帖子时，发现一位网友说 “one of the many new satellites，这种类型的题要看the在谁的前面，that从句就修饰谁。the指向satellites，that从句就是修饰satellites，就应该是复数形式are。” 我不知道是否能应用到所有题中，请大家帮忙看一下，谢谢！如果是正确的话，理解题意时可以节省不少时间！ -- by 会员 潮落时分 (2013/1/10 19:51:45)
probably
but I wll not apply to all the questions, it will be too dangerous to remember such rule
A OF B that
that will refer to B or the whole part A OF B (depending on the intended meaning )
if B or A of B could both be modified gramatically and logically correct, it seems that that will refer to B, in the eye of GMAC (just like this problem you raise)
but I think this could only be a preferred rule ,not a hard-and-fast rule |
