对E选项有疑问的童鞋请看补充说明
TN,XY版的GWD给出的答案都是B,但是PREP里给出的答案是E,很多人就疑问了,有to...from...的用法么?谁说没有?今天我又在PREP里发现一道,用法结构一模一样,看例子:

127.(31278-!-item-!-188;#058&004418)




After decreasing steadily in the mid-1990's, the percentage of students in the United States finishing high school or having earned equivalency diplomas increased in the last three years of the decade, up to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and 84.8 percent in 1998.



(A) finishing high school or having earned equivalency diplomas increased in the last three years of the decade, up to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and



(B) finishing high school or earning equivalency diplomas, increasing in the last three years of the decade, rising to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and from


(C) having finished high school or earning an equivalency diploma increased in the last three years of the decade, and rose to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and from


(D) who either finished high school or they earned an equivalency diploma, increasing in the last three years of the decade, rose to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and


(E) who finished high school or earned equivalency diplomas increased in the last three years of the decade, to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and             该选项为正确答案

联系题干,整句话出现了increase  to...from....
联系题干,整句话出现了increase  to...from....

所以说,to from并非是不可以的,要联系上下文语境作出选择,千万别看到from to就选 to from直接排出,陷阱往往就在此,还要继续甄别其他的错误。



补充说明:
对于GWD1-Q2题目中,在支持B选项的童鞋里,很多人说E选项:6percent its share不对,其实这是因为为了给后面的which定语从句合理安排语序,而把increase的正常宾语置后了,其实我们在原句中就可以看到文中的意思,认为是increase share,这样做是为了避免头重脚轻,所以正常的语序应该是increase its share of....market which(or that)ranges....to....from...另外,在词典里可以查到increase to的固定搭配。

类似的各种古怪的后置结构都有存在,我们其实在语法和阅读部分都见过非常多了,另外我再引用一个GWD里面我以前没有见过的后置,是把用来修饰主语的of介宾短语,置于谓语动词的后面,因为该修饰成分太长,而谓语只有has emerged而已,所以如果按照正常语序难免头重脚轻,但是很多人乍一看起来,都觉得has emerged of....太怪了,后来看了语法笔记才知道,这是主语定语后置!呵呵,我也犯了个大错误,一上来就把它排除了,其实它才是正确选项。例句如下:
Navigators have known for thousands of years that the ocean has variable currents, but it is only in the last half century that a reasonably clear picture has emerged of the patterns and causes of ocean currents.
该题目原文既是正确答案,大家请看

那么GWD那题LZ觉得应该选B还是E,我觉得还是选B,因为E的6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market有逻辑错误,应该10%才是对应现在的share,E的结构把6%变成修饰现在的share了
-- by 会员 vincentchui (2010/7/25 22:31:26)



回复你,这是宾语后置的常见形式,为了后面的which ranges修饰语紧挨着要修饰的名词market,所以正确语序是increase its share of the country's 21 billion book market which ranges...to...from...

这样的例子太多了,还有吧主语of 介宾短语置后放于主句谓语后面修饰主语的呢,为了避免头重脚轻。PREP原题has emerged of

B有明显错误,which紧挨着country,修饰关系无逻辑,且并不能认为which前面的部分是插入语,可有可无,因为是修饰market的,所以,不能默认为which可以跳跃修饰market,故错。我支持E

which修饰的对象的确是判断的关键,那这题正确的是选E吧?
-- by 会员 vincentchui (2010/7/26 9:45:19)



Bingo,我也支持选E,而且不管怎么样,官方给的是E,那肯定是E,咱们考生只能去考证B如何不对,来分析GMAC的思路

E中its shares of the country’s        这不是双重所有格形式么?所以错啊...对不对?
-- by 会员 Lynnyy (2010/8/13 17:43:16)



你怎么把后面的忘记看了?

its shares of the country's ...book market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

简而言之,是shares of market,而不是shares of the country's!

对to from 没有疑问,那么B到底哪里不对呢……?
难道说用就近修饰排除的么~
我觉得B、E的which都不会产生歧义~从逻辑可以判断出which是修饰market的。
-- by 会员 dreaming2011 (2010/9/4 9:23:20)



你这个不对了,不是光从逻辑判断,之所以B不对,主要是which指代,可以歧义地指代country,因为which的要求是就近指代,所以不如E选项指代明确。

有一点疑问,比如说,从which从句后面的内容我们可以看出来它是说book market的相关内容,那么我们可以理解它是修饰book market的。但是如果不看内容光看位置的话,确实是可以修饰country或者是market。那这个到底算不算引起歧义呢?OG里面解释东西经常说because it is understood,这个understood到底要怎样理解呢。。
-- by 会员 flyingblue12 (2010/9/8 22:00:36)




首先说,非限定性定语从句和句尾的现在分词一直都是语法部分的大难点,因为我个人的做题经历来看,这两部分没有任何可以保证完全正确的规律可循,任何应用要在满足逻辑正确的基础上保证语法正确。B的问题在于,如果理解which修饰country,那么我可以说,有这样一个国家,它覆盖了从教科书市场到通俗读物市场。显然逻辑荒谬,中文表达是逻辑意思优先,怎么写大家都能懂,英语不是。所以会有很多咱们无法理解的歧义。which做非限定性来说,如果是隔开的这种表达,一般修饰它前面紧跟的名词的,如果不是,那么要去考察主谓一致,如果前面的词单数,而which后的动词复数,那么显然不是修饰前面的那个的,那么再去往前找,这种情况一般出现在修饰对象是一个高度复杂的名词短语,然后第三步,检查这个名词,是否能成为which从句的修饰对象,如果做被动,是否可以做受动对象,如果是主动,是否可以做施动对象,比较这两点,看是否在主语,动词,宾语间有正确的逻辑关系,在这个复杂环节的任何一处有问题,都不能算对。

另外,对于that修饰的定语从句,和非隔开修饰的which从句,以上规律还不完全适用,更复杂,因为英语很多句子,主语的定语从句可以放到宾语后面,或者其他各种奇怪的位置上,为了使得句子的线条更优美,所以这也是为什么要看杨鹏长难句的原因,阅读里这类句子非常多,语法里有,不多,但一旦出现就是难点。这样的例子有很多,你可以自己去看,比如of后面突然跟了一个that从句,这部一定是错的,有可能就是修饰语部分调整了,prep语法上的一道原题,你可以去找找。所以赵丽讲的语法课,别的不能说一定对,但有一点是对的,回避自己不知道不了解的语法点!而且实战来说,一定要小心,对自己的选项和其他近似选项一定仔细比较,因为一般中等难度以上的语法题,都是那种貌似错误答案的正确选项,必须用其他方法排除,就像本题,如果你用from...to...这个规律排除就必错无疑了,这也是gmat的坑之所在,因为没有任何一本语法书里说from..to一定对,to...from..一定不对,而本题的to...from...是分属不同的意群的,所以是对的。还是分析那些确实作为判断标准的标准来利用才好。
