OG12 SC
T6:

A Labor Department study states that the numbers of women employed outside the home grew bv more than a thirty-five percent increase in the past decade and accounted for more than sixty-two percent of the total growth in the civilian workforce. (A)numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase (B)numbers of women employed outside the home grew more than thirty-five percent (C)numbers of women employed outside the home were raised by more than thirty-five percent (D)number of women employed outside the home increased by more than thirty-five percent (E)number of women employed outside the home was raised by more than a thirty-five percent increase Diction; Rhetorical construction The sentence misuses the word numbers and contains the redundant word increase. The plural numbers means a large crowd or multitude, while the singular number refers to a specific quantity of individuals. The count of women here should be expressed as the number. The noun increase repeats the meaning already present in the verb grew, only one of the two words is necessary to the sentence. A Numbers should be number. Grew and increase repeat the same idea. B Numbers should be the singular number. C Numbers should be number. The passive-voice verb were raised by is unclear and wordy. D Correct. In this sentence, number correctly replaces numbers, and redundancy is eliminated with the use of the verb increased. E The passive-voice verb was raised by is unclear and wordy. Increase is redundant. The correct answer is D.

我明白题目中只需要grow by  35%就可以了，但有没有情况是用a 35%的呢？？？

T18

Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged in 1911, Scott Joplin’s ragtime opera Treemonisha was not produced until 1972, sixty-one years after its completion. (A)Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged (B)Except for a concert performance with the composer himself staging it (C)Besides a concert performance being staged by the composer himself (D)Excepting a concert performance that the composer himself staged E)With the exception of a concert performance with the staging done by the composer himself Idiom; Rhetorical construction This sentence requires attention to idiom and to conciseness. Exceptfor is correctly followed by a noun, concert performance', that the composer himself staged is a clause that clearly and concisely describes the performance. A Correct. In this sentence, the correct idiom is used in a clear and concise expression. B With . . . it is an awkward and wordy construction, and staging suggests ongoing action rather than action completed in 1911. C Being staged suggests ongoing rather than completed action. D Excepting usually appears in negative constructions; it is not the correct idiom in this sentence. E This sentence is awkward and wordy. The correct answer is A.

不太懂D选项中excepting的用法，还有排除B的理由里难道没有besides的因素麼？

T20：

Declining values for farm equipment and land, the collateral against which farmers borrow to get through the harvest season, is going to force many lenders to tighten or deny credit this spring. (A)the collateral against which farmers borrow to get through the harvest season, is (B)which farmers use as collateral to borrow against to get through the harvest season, is (C)the collateral which is borrowed against by farmers to get through the harvest season, is (D)which farmers use as collateral to borrow against to get through the harvest season, are (E)the collateral against which farmers borrow to get through the harvest season, are Agreement; Rhetorical construction Because a lengthy construction appears between the subject and the verb, it may be hard to see at first that the plural subject values does not agree with the singular verb is. Values requires are. A The singular verb is does not agree with the plural subject values. B Is does not agree with values', the clause is awkward and redundant. C Is does not agree with values', the clause is awkward and wordy. D Use as collateral to borrow against is redundant; the wording is awkward. E Correct. In this sentence, the plural subject values agrees with the plural verb are.

The correct answer is E.
D和E的区别在哪里？？？书上说D redundant。。到底什么才叫redundant嘛……。。我不觉得D的说法很累赘啊。

T21：

While depressed property values can hurt some large investors, they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose equity—in many cases representing a life’s savings—can plunge or even disappear. (A)they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose (B)they can potentially devastate homeowners in that their (C)for homeowners they are potentially devastating, because their (D)for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in that their (E)it can potentially devastate homeowners, whose Rhetorical construction; Agreement This sentence is correct and concise. They clearly refers to property values, and whose refers to homeowners. A Correct. The relationship between nouns and pronouns is correct in this sentence; the expression is concise and clear. B Can potentially is redundant; in that their is wordy, awkward, and ambiguous. C Their appears to refer to they (property values) rather than to homeowners. D It does not agree with, property values', in that their is wordy and awkward. E It does not agree with property values; can potentially is redundant. The correct answer is A.

不觉得正确答案A里的they有点指代不明麼？不知道是指investors 还是values.

T22:

Japanese researchers are producing a series of robots that can identify human facial expressions, to which they will then respond: their goal is primarily creating a robot that will empathize with us. (A)expressions, to which they will then respond; their goal is primarily creating (B)expressions, then responding to them; primarily to create (C)expressions and then respond to them; the researchers’ primary goal is to create (D)expressions as well as giving a response to them; their primary goal is creation of

排除AE的理由里难道不包括goal is to do这条麼？我知道语法上来说doing和to do都可以但目标不应该是还没完成要去完成的一个状态麼？

T24：

In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor.

(A)	in part that their steers should acquire certain
	characteristics
(B)	in part for the acquisition of certain
	characteristics in their steers
(C)	partly because of their steers acquiring certain
	characteristics
(D)	partly because certain characteristics should be
	acquired by their steers
(E)	partly to acquire certain characteristics in their

A In part should be partly. Use of the relative clause that their steers should acquire ... is ungrammatical.
B In part should be partly. Use of prepositional phrases is wordy and awkward.
C Because of suggests that crossbreeding has occurred because the steers have already acquired certain characteristics.

D Passive voice should be acquired by is awkward and illogical.

E Correct. In this sentence, the word partly is used to introduce both reasons; the phrase to acquire certain characteristics is clear and concise.

The correct answer is E.


为什么选E不选D呢？都是partly because不是更好麼？理由说D里由被动但是被动应该总比不平行好点吧？
