6. Like Byron at Missolonghi, Jack London was slowly killed by the mistakes of the medical men who treated him.
(A) Like Byron (B) Like Byron’s death (C) Just as Byron died (D) Similar to Byron (E) As did Byron
Choice A correctly compares two persons, Byron and Jack London. Choice B illogically compares Byron’s death to London. Choice C does not compare one person to another and could be read as saying Just at the time that Byron died. Choice D misstates the idea: the point is not thatLondon was similar to Byron but that he was like Byron in the manner of his death. In choice E, did cannot grammatically be substituted for wasin the phrase was slowly killed. This question is a little more difficult than the average.
完全不明白这里的C是怎么错的= =。同理,下一道题的DE也完全不明白怎么错的。按理来说I did this as He did不应该是正确的吗?
7. Like Haydn, Schubert wrote a great deal for the stage, but he is remembered principally for his chamber and concert-hall music.
(A) Like Haydn, Schubert (B) Like Haydn, Schubert also (C) As has Haydn, Schubert (D) As did Haydn, Schubert also E) As Haydn did, Schubert also
Choice A is correct. In B, also is redundant after Like, which establishes the similarity between Haydn and Schubert. As in choices C, D, and E is not idiomatic in a comparison of persons; has in C wrongly suggests that the action was recently completed; and also in D and E is superfluous. This question is a little more difficult than the average.
