gwd小班的一个语法题

淡蓝色的回忆

According to analysts, an alliance between three major personal computer companies and most of the nation’s largest local telephone companies would enable customers to receive Internet data over regular telephone lines (with speeds much higher than is) currently possible.

with speeds much higher than is

with speeds that are much higher than are

at much higher speeds as are

at much higher speeds than that

at speeds much higher than are

这题B　和　E　哪个更好？

earlybirdcyu

应该是E。理由如下：

1。AT SPEEDS 修饰 RECIEVE THE INTERNET DATA

2。WITH SPEEDS 就近修饰TELEPHONE LINES 改变句意。而且改选项不够简洁。

欢迎讨论！

同意Ｅ，at speeds应该时习惯用法

淡蓝色的回忆

多谢以上的两位，

我有个题目外的问题，这个at speeds much higher than are,

答案中的     “are” 可以去掉吗？

earlybirdcyu

不能省略吧！如果THAN CURRENTLY POSSIBLE 是一种习惯用法，例如：THAN EVRE BEFORE ， THAN ESTIMATED 应该 可以省略。

还有一种形式：AT SPEEDS MUCH HIGHER THAN THOSE CURRENTLY POSSIBLE 可以接受。

欢迎讨论！

淡蓝色的回忆

感觉　这题没有那么简单。

现在的语法题不是靠语法的习惯用法来解决问题。

with 是　可以修饰紧跟的名词，也可以作为状语修饰　receive 这个动作。

than 后面的　are 是否省略，我看多半要从歧义上考虑。这题看多了，就觉得头晕。还是很迷惑。

earlybirdcyu

with 放在句末，即可以做壮语修饰主句谓语动词也可以做定语修饰句尾名词，所以会造成歧义！OG --212 ETS有关于WITH 的解释，语法专区有一些老帖可以看一下。

GWD 给的答案是E吗！

查了一下，这就是网上GWD21-1。

老管给的答案是E。

现在感觉这题，at  比 with 的确好一点。
