补充材料231
in the 1980's the rate of increase of the minority population of the US was nearly ((twice as fast as)) the 1970's.
b)twice as fast as it was in
c)twice what it was in
答案选c，请问为什么不选b??

请大家讨论一下

rate 只能表示高低不能表示快慢
所以只能说，increase so fast
but we can't say the rate is so fast

其实，这就讲的就是主语逻辑性的问题
要先判断题目的逻辑意思，再比选项

大胆挑战原答案！请大家还给俺个青白之身！

7.Dental caries and gingivitis can be exacerbated not only by the foods patients eat but also by when the patients eat them.
(A) not only by the foods patients eat but also by when the patients eat them
(B) by not only the foods patients eat but also by when the patients eat them
(C) not only by the foods patients eat but also by time when the foods are eaten
(D) by not only the foods that are eaten by patients but also by the times the foods are eaten
(E) not only by what patients eat but also by when they eat it

答案给的E, 觉的绝对不对。E中的it无指代对象。而且by+clause不爽。
我选C，not only +by+n...but also+by+n


8.For most consumers, the price of automobile insurance continues to rise annually, even if free of damage claims and moving violations.
(A) even if
(B) despite being
(C) even if they are
(D) although they may be
(E) even if remaining

答案选C, 我选D,觉得may be更准确。谁知道他们一定free of.

are eaten这种被动用法明显不好,而且前后结构不对称
E中,IT指代what,都表示food

14题我的答案是比出来的，其他都不合适
19题是转折关系，可以仍了ADE，然后C的时态明显不对

felix2816

祈晴坊主：谢过。我觉得14和19题用不定式完成式更好啊？
“few people have been known to have tasted it”中taste这个动作应该在known之前啊，对吗？？同理19题。
能告诉我，你的观点吗？

(B) weather conditions that cannot be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
(C) unforeseeable weather conditions, and pilot errors are the cause of much larger deposits of spray than they had
(D) weather conditions that are not foreseeable, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
(E) unforeseeable weather conditions, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than they had

答案选B
我选E
我想知道，B中， weather conditions that cannot be foreseen是一个完整的句子，难道可以和后面的并列，构成cause的动作发起者吗

154. In 1791 Robert Carter III, one of the wealthiest plantation owners in Virginia, stunned his family, friends, and neighbors by filing a deed of emancipation, setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.
(A)    setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered
(B)    setting free more than the 500 slaves legally considered as
(C)    and set free more than 500 slaves, who were legally considered as
(D)    and set free more than the 500 slaves who were legally considered
(E)    and he set free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered as
正确答案是A  我选的是D
但是该句的结构为 someone do sth by doing sth1, doing sth2. 这个结构中，感觉by doing sth1, doing sht2之间应该有and连接才通顺，如果不用and连接，是不是将setting……作为filing的伴随状语了？
另外，og答案中解释说，BD项中，因为用的是500 slaves，而不是the 500 slaves, 所以没有将500 slaves 特指为Robert Carter所有。 但是BD项中虽然没有使用the，却在500 slaves 后面加上了定语从句“who were legally considered his property”,这样不是也起到了特指的作用么？

我的理解是setting free the more than 500 slaves 是修饰emancipation
说那家伙做了一个解放，具体解放内容是什么呢
就是放了几百个奴隶

这个setting 和前面的doing 不是并列关系
