OG82, 208

82. In contrast to large steel plants that take iron ore through all the steps needed to produce several different kinds of steel, processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology and remain economically viable.
(A)    processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology and remain
(B)    processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology, remaining
(C)    the processing of steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology, remaining
(D)    small mills, by processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products, have been able to put capital into new technology and remain
(E)    small mills, by processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products, have been able to put capital into new technology and remained

KEY D,这题我当时选了E, 把REMAINED 看做是和 HAVE BEEN ABLE 平行, 为什么这样不可以呢?

208. Teratomas are unusual forms of cancer because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears.
(A)    because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone
(B)    because they are composed of tissues like tooth and bone that are
(C)    because they are composed of tissues, like tooth and bone, tissues
(D)    in that their composition, tissues such as tooth and bone, is
(E)    in that they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone, tissues

当时没看出来not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears是修饰TISSUE, 但如果把它理解为修饰TOOTH AND BONE 有什么不妥呢?  考试的时候怎么能分出来到底修饰谁呢?

多谢, 多谢.

1. 我觉得主要是从意思上理解。。语法很多题目如果单纯从语法角度来做不合适。。
remain是在 put之后才会发生的动作，有先后的关系。。

2. 也比较困惑。。

1、同意楼上；
2、判断修饰关键还是要确定OG里提到的head noun，such tissues as tooth and bone,明显tissues包括tooth and bone,是全集，而tooth and bone只是列举解释tissues的，所以tissues是head noun，被not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears修饰；

补充一点：

比较A和E中，发现：

如果not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears修饰的是tooth and bone，会有歧义，到底修饰准？TOOTH？BONE？还是两者？

E有明确的修饰词，对象明确，所以更好。

同意TOCEAN的意见，我想也可以从修饰对象明确这一点来考虑。

OG82. group of products 不能 remain economically viable，mills 才能。

是不是说如果 NOUN. + SUCH AS, 如果要修饰最前面的名词, 一般用同位语; 或 THAT从句 , 后面的THAT 从句一般都是修饰最前面的NOUN. 如:
OG-8, Lacking information about energy use, poeple tend to overestimate the amount of energy used by visible equipment, such as lights, that must be turned on and off and underestimate that used by unobtrusive equipment, such as water hearters.

如果要修饰SUCH AS 后的例子该怎么表达?

我觉得不一定，关键是要具体的意思。。
如这里要修饰，light..
如果要用限制性定语从句前边逗号要去掉。。
如果要用非限制性，逗号加which, 不会产生歧义。
