求助og16sc第七题 proof的用法

sweeker

From an experiment using special extra sensory perception cards, each bearing one of a set of symbols, parapsychologist Joseph Banks Rhine claimed statistical proof __for subjects who could use thought transference to identify a card in the dealer's hand.
A. For subjects who could use thought transference to identify a card in the dealer's hand.
B. For a card in the dealer's hand to be identified by subjects with thought transference .
C. Of subjects able to identify with thought transference a card in the dealer's hand.

我一直觉得划线部分开头的介词for/of 或者that是和claim 配合的 但是看了两个前辈总结的千行 一个说是of和for是跟着名词的 而proof是一件事儿 所以不对 另一个说是 proof for表示向…证明 所以不对 我不是很理解 求大神解答

我觉得你说that和claim搭配是有一定道理的，OG上说this sentence is meant to indicate that Joseph Banks Rhine claimed that a certain experiment statistically proved that subjects could identify what symbol was on a card in a dealer’s hand by using thought transference.  这个that到底是接claim还是因为proof后面接事情而用that，这个的疑问等NN来解答吧
关于proof that后面接一件事情，我的理解是：要想进一步具体的修饰proof（ n.）到底proof（v.）了什么需要用that也就是下面题目的曼哈顿论坛解释（我的解释比较模糊，给你看几个题目意会下吧）
T5  Although a surge in retail sales have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally under way, many economists say that without a large amount of spending the recovery might not last.
(A) have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally
(B) raised hopes for there being a recovery finally
(C) had raised hopes for a recovery finally being
(D) has raised hopes that a recovery is finally
(E) raised hopes for a recovery finally答案：D 曼哈顿论坛解释：raised hopes for X <a recovery finally underway>"
Is that what we were hoping for? A "recovery finally underway"? What does that mean? If we just want to talk about what we're hoping for, we're hoping for a recovery.
If we want to get more complicated, we could also say that we hope that something is true: that a recovery was finally underway. But we actually have to spell that out - I'm not just hoping for a noun: recovery. I'm hoping that something is true about that recovery - that it has already started.

T40 Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.
(A) that personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubled that of
(B) that personal spending in the July–September quarter would more than double
(C) of personal spending in the July–September quarter, that it more than doubled
(D) of personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubling that of
(E) of personal spending in the July–September quarter, that it would more than double that of
答案：B 解释（忘记哪里来的了）how to convey the meaning when our expectations are about some ACTION.
The correct and the easiest way to do it is to use the verb in "that"-clause:
expectations that X would more than double Y
We can try to say it without a verb:  expectations of X more than doubling Y
Probably, it is acceptable in English, but the GMAT certainly doesn't appreciate such efforts.
The GMAT has a very straightforward logic: we you want to say about an action (and this is our intended meaning if we look at A), use a verb! Because if we look closer at D-option, we will understand that there's no action there.
What are expectations of? They are of personal spending --> no action there. （我理解这里和上面hope for a recovery是一样的道理，只不过这个人的解释偏向于用verb来具体描述更好）
"more than doubling Y" is not an action either. It is just a modifier of "personal spending" or, in other words, it describes "personal spending".

我不太确定这个理解对不对，但是我用这种理解做了几道题还没发现有太大问题。（也许是巧合对上了，如有问题请各位一定告诉我啊！！！！）
T44 According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
(A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
(B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
(C) in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
答案A：自信的不是economy，自信的是economy可以“做什么”——economy可以避免recession

T56 Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were relatively simple and static, Barbara McClintock adhered to her own more complicated ideas about how genes might operate, and in 1983, at the age of 81, was awarded a Nobel Prize for her discovery that the genes in corn are capable of moving from one chromosomal site to another.
(A) Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were
(B) Although many of her colleagues were of the conviction of genes being
(C) Contrary to many of her colleagues being convinced that genes were
(D) Even though many of her colleagues were convinced that genes were
(E) Even with many of her colleagues convinced of genes being
答案：D 其他同事 convinced的是什么？不是genes，而是genes“怎么样了”——genes是simple，static

T79 The first trenches that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.
(A) that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but
(B) that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously with but also
(C) having been cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously but
(D) cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence of centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the  Middle East arising simultaneously but also
(E) cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but
答案：E evidence什么，不只是complex society存在，而是证明society怎么了——society were arising simultaneously with...

句意应该强调名词时用介词+名词。
句意应该强调整件事的时候用关系代词+后面的一连串事情。

我和你想的一样，非常好的题目归纳。

二楼的总结很到位。OG解释字字珠玑，归类也准确：Rhetorical construction。 647和二楼的T79考点类似，难点在于把握修辞结构。我认为647里面的A/B/C选项are grammatically correct，所以细究prepositions的用法在这里是浪费时间，因为A/B/C根本没有说明proof的内容是什么，而是在强调certain statistical proof。 T79也一样，在用S-V一致排除掉有错误语法的选项后，我们比较A/E，区别就在A只告诉我们evidence for certain societies，没有说evidence到底是什么，没有表达出句子的intended meaning。

我想请教一下怎么判断需要强调的是proof还是proof证明的东西呢？我能感受到这两者的区别，但我把题目理解成了就是要强调proof for 【能够use thought transference to identify a card in the dealer's hand 的一些subjects】了。
题目想说证据表明subject能够XXXX，但我理解成只有一部分subjexts能够XXX然后找到了这部分subjects存在的proof。
