(版本3)语法头一题就是than under it 那道选a 我肯定
more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than under it. than画线 than (babies were born to women ) under it

好象也不错呀!

是不是这样好些？
than (babies WHO were born to women ) under it

sbbi, what do you mean by  好象也不错呀! ?

(版本3) , (版本2) , (版本4) , questions are different, right?

以下是引用sbbi在2003-9-23 11:00:00的发言：
SmileFM,一个重要问题,此题画线部分是"THAN"么?
也即"under it"是在非画线的题干部分,是么?
版本2)4)却是"UNDER 30".

1) 划线部分是(than...) under it. 我选的答案1)是than. 其它选项是加了些成分在里面.
2) under it 是在划线外, 从4个版本看这点是统一的.
3) 我记得是under it,因为当初还考虑了一下it的指代.

我的建议是, 做这道题还是抓住比较的省略和代词指代, 考场上其它答案就能排除掉.

Thanks,SmileFM. Here is my thought about (版本2):
to mothers that aged over 30 than to them( mothers) that aged (omission)under 30?

sounds aburdly

如果是 ... than to them,肯定是指mothers. 但逻辑上意思改变了. them是指同一批人, 整句话理解下来就是, 这些妈妈们, 30 岁后生的小孩多于30岁前生的. 比较合理的代词应用to those, 会更好.

如果是 ... than them, 就是指代不清.

版本2里面是没有to 的

gemj帮我看看13题好么?

13。
我也觉得1）好：
A．who work…从句比working…短语好，不过要是在考场上遇到这个题目还是要看一下主句的时态是否与从句的相匹配。
B．media ranging…也比media that ranges …好。因为后者是unnecessarily redundant.在所有的改错中出现的5个range from… to…结构中，只有一个用到从句。而且事出有因。

14题之所以用从句而非现在分词是因为：
A．    如果用分词修饰，这个修饰成份太长了，而且中间还有插入成份。使句子显得头轻脚重；
B．    that从句中动词可以更加明确地表示从句是修饰paintings而非evident。
