今天下午我们几个人讨论了一下gwd5，收获很大，谢谢大家的参与哦！明天继续！

有几个问题没得出最终结论，想再请教一下大家：

1、语法第一题

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

1. and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,


2. and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that


3. her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that


4. lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,


5. so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

答案选e，从意思上来理解e比较合理，但不知从语法上如何解释呢？省略的平行还是插入语？会不会是加了and 和was,会容易理解为仅是后一个原因造成Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt。。。。呢，而没有体现出是前两者共同导致。。。。。，有歧义所以省略？

gwd-5-30Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.  However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.  For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.  roponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.  However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.

1. many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life


2. it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has


3. cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods


4. certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is


5. for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded

这道题我选c，我觉得原文中的this fact 指的是Proponents of irradiation 的那句话，所以misleading的话，应该是对那句话进行的削弱，所以要从irradiation与cooking 之间的比较关系入手，所以选c，但是也有人提出原文关心的是一共的损失量，c是无关选项，应该选e，不知哪种理解正确？

我觉得不是这个原因，如果加上and和was表达的意思是不变的。

我认为去掉and和was会显得更简洁，而逻辑意思不会变化。

这个题历来争议颇多，不过我一直主张选C，很明显说irradiation跟cooking一样不好的人是把这两个当成可比的东西，其实这两者不具可比性，因为如C所说。

阅读9－12那篇也有一个问题，网上至今也没定论：

    Behavior science courses should

       be gaining prominence in business

       school curricula.  Recent theoretical

Line       work convincingly shows why behav-

  (5)      ioral factors such as organizational

culture and employee relations are

among the few remaining sources of

sustainable competitive advantage in

modern organizations.  Furthermore,

(10)      empirical evidence demonstrates

clear linkages between human

resource (HR) practices based in

the behavioral sciences and various

aspects of a firm’s financial success.

(15)      Additionally, some of the world’s most

successful organizations have made

unique HR practices a core element

of their overall business strategies.

      Yet the behavior sciences

(20)      are struggling for credibility in many

business schools.  Surveys show

that business students often regard

behavioral studies as peripheral to

       the mainstream business curriculum.

(25)      This perception can be explained by

the fact that business students, hoping

to increase their attractiveness to

prospective employers, are highly

sensitive to business norms and

(30)      practices, and current business

practices have generally been

moving away from an emphasis on

       understanding human behavior and

toward more mechanistic organiza-

(35)      tional models.  Furthermore, the

       status of HR professionals within

organizations tends to be lower

than that of other executives.

      Students’ perceptions would

(40)      matter less if business schools

were not increasingly dependent on

external funding—form legislatures,

businesses, and private foundations—

for survival.  Concerned with their

(45)      institutions’ ability to attract funding,

administrators are increasingly tar-

geting low-enrollment courses and

degree programs for elimination.

Q9:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

              

1. propose a particular change to business school curricula


2. characterize students’ perceptions of business school curricula


3. predict the consequences of a particular change in business school curricula


4. challenge one explanation for the failure to adopt a particular change in business school curricula


5. identify factors that have affected the prestige of a particular field in business school curricula

我觉得这题还是应该选E，虽然讨论时大家告诉我选A。理由是第一段说的是Behavior science courses应该gain prominence，列出的是影响Behavior science courses的正面因素，第二段说的是Behavior science courses再商学院里收到怀疑，是负面因素，第三段是一个让步，是说如果学校不是因为。。。。的话就不会受到这些负面因素的影响。

综上，我觉得e选项是正确的

was省略可以理解，可是可以不用and 而是用逗号表示两句话的平行吗？

中间不是一句话啊，更像一个独立主格

这个A是很明显的迷惑选项，不沾边的。
