这些都是我发了很久没人回的帖，　ｌｉｎｋ　ｉｓ　ａｔｔａｃｈｅｄ！　

哎，，要考试了头好痛！

大家帮我看一下好吗？

顺便做个时态的总结

885 secB(14) http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&replyid=29752&id=29752&page=1&skin=0&Star=2
Anybody can explain why A is wrong?

The western world's love affair with chocolate is well-documented; few people have been known to have tasted it for the first time without requesting more.

Key is (D) few people have been known to taste it  

I have no clue why A is wrong!

885-B19.   http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&id=21328

Balzac drank more than fifty cups of coffee a day and died of caffeine poisoning; furthermore, caffeine did not seem to bother Samuel Johnson, the great writer and lexicographer, who was reported to have drunk twenty-five cups of tea at one sitting.

(A) furthermore, caffeine did not seem to bother

(B) however, caffeine did not seem to bother

(C) however, caffeine did not seem to have bothered

(D) furthermore, caffeine did not seem to have bothered（B）

(E) in addition, caffeine did not seem to bother

I agree with B. There’s been lots discussion going on about answer C—my opinion is:  “Did not seem to have bother”　 poses a sense that　 “seemed” (past tense) happens first and then “have bothered” later ，　thus， making the time sequence illogical.

Am I right about this??

885 SEC E 4 多余的逗号？http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&id=20430&star=2#1298135

4. In June, 1981, six teenagers in the village of Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, who they say has continued to appear to them over the ensuing years.
(A) claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, who
(B) claimed to have visions of the Virgin Mary, whom
(C) claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, whom
(D) claimed to have visions of the Virgin Mary, who
(E) had claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, whom

答案A，agree.

My question is : why use whom but not who? I’ve attached the link of discussions and I believe the correct answer should be C, not A. Please help me clarify. Am I right?

9. 885 sec e 9 http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&replyid=20430&id=20430&page=1&skin=0&Star=2

9. It takes a deft balance between savings discipline, investment knowledge, risk taking, luck, and time to raise a million dollars through investments.
(A) It takes a deft balance between
(B) Deft balancing is needed between
(C) Deftly balanced, it takes
(D) It takes a deft balance of
(E) A deft balance is what one needs among

Correct: D I treated (deft balance of savings discipline) as one unit, along with the rests to (raise a million dollars through investments. ）

Am I correct ?

希望这帖不但帮助我自己，也帮忙好心回帖的人们厘清一些时态的观点，这几题都是广泛讨论，没有绝对定案的题！

个人理解：

前两题是否定语气，是并未发生过的事，因此不能用to have p.p的时态，如果是肯定语气，一定要用to have p.p的时态；

第三题who they say has continued to appear to them over the ensuing years，A正确，they say是修饰who的，可省略，句子结构是who has continued to ...,who是主语成份，不能用whom，而且，现在who可以替代whom，如果实在是没有其它的错误的情况下，whom和who应该是最后被考虑的地方；

第四题：D是对的，a balance of是习惯用语，A,B中的between明显不对，C,E不但balance的用法不对，也改变乐句意~~

希望能有所帮助~~

反例

The fear of rabies is well founded; few people are known to have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared.

楼上的，个人感觉你那个反例是错滴~~

个人理解：

前两题是否定语气thanks! this is the key，是并未发生过的事，因此不能用to have p.p的时态，如果是肯定语气，一定要用to have p.p的时态；

第三题who they say has continued to appear to them over the ensuing years，A正确，they say是修饰who的----〉但我看来像是whom是they say 的宾语？很多nn在讨论区的说法根版主一至，我也不加怀疑，但能否告诉我为什么whom不能当宾语吗？谢谢！

可省略，句子结构是who has continued to ...,who是主语成份，不能用whom，而且，现在who可以替代whom，如果实在是没有其它的错误的情况下，whom和who应该是最后被考虑的地方；

who they say has continued to appear to them over the ensuing years = who, they say, has continued to appear to them over the ensuing years  

they say 是插入语，相当于however~~

大全

748.        The fear of rabies is well founded; few people are known to recover from the disease after the appearance of the clinical symptoms.

(A) few people are known to recover from the disease after the appearance of the clinical symptoms

(B) few people are known to have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared

(C) there are few known people who have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared

(D) after the clinical symptoms appear, there are few known people who have recovered from the disease（B）

(E) recovery from the disease is known for only a few people after the clinical symptoms appear

我还是同意妖妖的观点，否定句子不用完成时态，但是few 构成不了否定句子，例子如上大全748。呵呵，菜鸟挑战一下权威了。

The western world's love affair with chocolate is well-documented; few people have been known to taste（have tasted it） for the first time without requesting more. 完成时态错可能是因为两个完成时态重复，也可能是因为后面时间状语的缘故？I've done it for the first time比较别扭吧。

否定句子不用完成时态的例子

Balzac drank more than fifty cups of coffee a day and died of caffeine poisoning; however, caffeine did not seem to bother (have bothered) Samuel Johnson, the great writer and lexicographer, who was reported to have drunk twenty-five cups of tea at one sitting.

请指点

4. In June, 1981, six teenagers in the village of Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, who they say has continued to appear to them over the ensuing years.
(A) claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, who
(B) claimed to have visions of the Virgin Mary, whom
(C) claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, whom
(D) claimed to have visions of the Virgin Mary, who
(E) had claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary, whom

谢谢斑竹，你说我我了解，若是插入语，因该要有逗号吧？

但若理解成  ，whom they say  (为第二个从句的主语有错么？）has continured to appear to them over the ensuing years.

Mary is a girl who likes to play baseball.

Mary is a girl whom we see> ..........Mary, whom we see likes to play baseball. 这样不是比较对么？

jijiao 的反力实在不可忽视呢！

是不是few people have been known to had tasted it 比较对的关西？

大家好心人在帮忙讨论讨论吧！
