再接再厉！

56. By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated their luxury-laden lives.

A By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated

B By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates

C In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates

D In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated

E In choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic, accentuating

The original sentence contains two problems. First, “towering a hundred feet over brownstone units” is unclear and implies the absurd meaning that the glass apartments are located directly over brownstone units in different buildings. Second, the verb "accentuated" should be in the present tense, since the earlier use of the present perfect tense ("have embraced") implies that the embracing is still happening, and therefore that the ethicaccentuatesthe lives in the general present. Incidentally, in this context, "by choosing" and "in choosing" have nearly identical meanings; as a result, this split is immaterial.

(A) Incorrect, as it repeats the original sentence.

(B) This choice repeats the errors from the choice (A) and adds another. The adjective “seeming” is incorrect, since adjectives modify nouns; it is not “seeming professionals,” but “seemingly younger... professionals.” An adverb must be used to describe an adjective.

(C) CORRECT.Using “in hundred-foot towers instead of” rather than “towering a hundred feet over” makes the intended meaning clearer. Also, the verb "accentuates" is in the proper tense (present).

(D) The verb "accentuated" should not be in the past tense, as noted above.

(E) In this choice, “towering a hundred feet over brownstone units” is unclear and implies the absurd meaning that the glass apartments are located directly over brownstone units in different buildings. The adjective “seeming” is incorrect, as noted earlier in choice B. An adverb must be used to describe an adjective. Finally, the participle "accentuating" should arguably be replaced with the relative clause "that accentuates"; following a comma, the participle implies that the professionals are doing the accentuating, rather than the design ethic. This change of meaning is inadvisable.

英文分析得很好了，不再罗嗦了~~~

我翻译一下正确答案C哈：
这句话的意思是说 “选择位于百尺高的塔楼上的玻璃公寓而不是选择为老一辈人设计的褐石单元房，看似比曾经任何年代的人都更年轻并且更有钱的专家们信奉的是一种现代设计规范，这种规范强调了他们奢侈的生活”

我选C。
A选项的by choosing表方法；且towering没有后面的in towers好；accentuated错误，不应该用过去时，a modern design ethic accentuates their luxury-laden lives是一个不变的事实，而不是过去突出，现在就不突出了。
B选项by choosing，towering同A。
D选项accentuate的时态。
E选项towering同A；且 accentuating修饰错误，修饰了professionals。

brownstone--富有阶级的

C--排除法
seeming-->seemingly
accentuated时态不对-->accentuates
in doing & by doing不了解
只是觉得自己的理由好站不住脚呀

咦？？今天人好少啊~~占座先~~
---------------------------------------------------------------
2’30(这题灰常不确定！！)

A: that accentuated不应该用被动，应该用accentuates, 因为that从句修饰的是ethic.

B: seeming不足以承接上半句.

C: Correct

D: 同A

E: towering a hundred feet没有in hundred-foot towers好.

chensong211 · 发表于 2011-11-23 20:10:36

这道题很难。
首先排除AC 因为accentuated
其次：排除E accentuating 不如that 结构
剩下BC 我觉得都不太对。C中 instead of 我觉得啰嗦。 B中 seeming 也不确定是否正确。
如果非要选一个，那我选B 读起来顺口。
我水平有限，等楼主点评，看NN们怎么分析的。

第一次参加悬赏令。觉得差距挺大的。

好难，句子的意思不是很清楚
选C，排除法
1. professionals have embraced a modern design ethic, 完成时表示对现在的影响所以that accentuates
2. by doing表示用...方法，in表示在...方面。用in逻辑意思顺

选C
长句子一上来就吓到我了忽忽
accentuate 强调，突出这个单词不懂，看得有点晕没理解清楚意思
那么比较选项
1 seemingly是副词 seeming是形容词这里用副词修饰表意清晰是修饰后面的形容词而不是名词
2 by和in的选择对于in我好像没有特别深的理解用法 by是表示方法这里用那个表较好我比较模糊
3 towering a hundred feet和in hundred-foot towers觉得还是后者好具体前者哪里不好请NN指出
4 accentuate 的时态这个是很容易判断的如果懂这个单词是什么意思的话应该用现在时

56. By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated their luxury-laden lives.

A By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated
-----choosing...towering a hundred ft over units,感觉很多情况下over这个词没有instead of明显存在比较的意思，容易产生歧义。that accentuated 肯定不对。
B By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates
-------同A，然后adv修饰adj，seeming--〉seemingly

C In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates
-------in stead of is better,但是这里的in choosing不是很清楚用法，求解释？？？

D In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated
------apartments in hundren-ft towers,这里的in用法不清楚，但是后面的accentuated肯定不对。

E In choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic, accentuating
------seeming 不对，但是accentuating感觉用法没错，在修饰前面的younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic一整个现象，不知道分析得对不对。

Key：C

56. By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated their luxury-laden lives.

A By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated
-->accentuated 不对， towering a hundred feet 逻辑结构混乱。
B By choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates
-->seeming 是adj，修饰moneyed professionals 不合理。
C In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuates--->原句是by，强调方式方法，用成In的话会不会有改变意思的嫌疑？同时觉得over 比 instead of 简洁.
D In choosing glass apartments in hundred-foot towers instead of brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic that accentuated--->accentuated 不对.

E In choosing glass apartments towering a hundred feet over brownstone units designed for earlier generations, seeming younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic, accentuating--> towering a hundred feet 逻辑结构混乱.
[上来一看就看的晕晕忽忽的没看懂，瞎选了一个A，然后看大家的回帖，发现漏洞还是很多的，C选项虽然有不尽如人意的地方，但是木有犯逻辑语法上的大错误，看来还需要继续学习进步啊啊啊。。。】
