肯定是A

A肯定是错的。

理由:

1.found前省略了(that were),且修饰中心词fossils,没有歧义

没有理由说它前面省了that were，在这里found修饰前面的sloth。正如前面MM所说，D中的逗号都出来了，就是为了消除这个修饰歧意。

2.D中的完成时态没有意义,date是瞬间动词,完成时表对现在有意义,但是这里肯定不可

Date有两个意思，一个是不及物动词（date back from)另外一个是及物动词，确定年代 (sb. date sth)。在这里A没有用被动肯定错。

3.找遍大全和题库,没有见到date被动的形式是对的的.

那是你没有找到，不等于没有。

请参考GWD31－28。不仅是被动，而且是如D一样是完成时。

睡觉去了,明天看看你们的讨论  嘻嘻

其实这道题出得相当棒。很多考点在里面。

补充一下Date的用法（摘自大全解释）

Date vi.
date back to
date from something phrasal verb：to have existed since a particular time in the past
The church dates from the 13th century.
date: tr.
To mark or supply with a date: date a letter.
To determine the date of: date a fossil.
To betray the age of: Pictures of old cars date the book.

多谢littledou

绝对的好题啊

还有用estimate的时候用was estimated to be,完成时不知道用不用，但是to be是固定用法

刚查找了帖子，发现问题不止一个

1.date可以用完成时

2.date to be 就是错误的结构（不是很肯定，有人说date和to be重复，感觉有些小小的道理，date sth就是确定日期了）

3.date at＋一段时间＋old（当短语记）

4.A中没有逗号，所以可以修饰sloth也可以修饰那个fossils，且都可以讲的通，所以歧义（注意这里不是就近修饰的错误）

5.D中用were修饰避免歧义，且found前用逗号，所以优先修饰主语中心词，可以讲的通，所以不用往后看。

纠正下little兄的错误：确定年代 (sb. date sth)。在这里A没有用被动肯定错    是被动的修饰，只是省略了

GWD26-04

Consumers
planning to buy recreational equipment tend to buy higher quality, more
expensive equipment when the economy is strong than when it is weak.
Hill and Dale is a business that sells high-quality, expensive camping
and hiking equipment in Boravia. Although all the signs are that
Boravia’s economy is now entering a period of sustained strength, the
managers of the business do not expect a substantial increase in sales.

 

Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest

justification for the managers’ judgment?

A.     A significant proportion of Hill and Dale’s sales are made to

customers who enter the store in order to buy one particular

item but, once there, find other items to buy as well.

B.     In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might

otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas.

C.     The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s nati-

onal parks, where most of the camping and hiking is

done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities.

D.     Advances in materials technology have led to the

development of hiking and camping equipment that

is more comfortable and lightweight than before.

E.      Many people in Boravia not only are committed to

preserving the country’s wilderness areas but also

are interested in spending some time in them.

Well, there is a debate over B and C.  Let's vote. I'll appreciate for your participation.

这是老题，争论了半年也没答案，网上出了law神仙外，大多数认为b 是答案

Fossils of the arm of a sloth树懒 found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of the Greater Antilles islands.

A. sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old,     made it the earliest known mammal of

B. sloth, that they found in Puerto Rico in 1991, has been dated at 34 million years old, thus making it the earliest mammal known on

C. sloth that was found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old, making this the earliest known mammal of

D. sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on

E. sloth which, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old,made the sloth the earliest known mammal of

A 中 found 如果跳跃修饰fossils 是没有道理的，mammal of 小岛 这种所属关系不对啊 应该用from 或者 on

D 中 ， ＋ found 跳跃修饰fossils 不是ets 喜欢的，但是相比较不算错。

至于date 能不能用被动，所有的选项都用的被动＋at 不管是 过去分词还是动词

所以只要找个理由看看完成时好，还是过去时好就行了

你如果把A看成是省略了的被动的修饰，那么And前的逗号应该去掉且Found前加逗号，Found和Dated并列做修饰成分，Made变成句子的谓语。

2.date to be 就是错误的结构（不是很肯定，有人说date和to be重复，感觉有些小小的道理，date sth就是确定日期了）

这个好像不对吧。从GWD31-28来看，是可以用be dated to be的，不知道我们两个是不是在说同一个东西。

Rock samples taken from the remains of an asteroid about twice the size of the 6-nuke-wide asteroid that eradicated the dinosaurs has been dated to be 3.47 billion years old and thus is evidence of the earliest known asteroid impact on Earth.
A: has been dated to be 3.47 billion years old and thus is
B: has been dated at 3.47 billion years old and thus
C: have been dated to be 3.47billion years old and thus are
D: have been dated as being 3.47 billion years old and thus
E: have been dated at 3.47 billion years old and thus are

C the best

顾大哥做CR和RC又没有什么诀窍呢?

偶今天发现原来做做过的题目也会很愉快.

建议大家把原来的GWD分类重新做一下,不是模考的形式,就是用一种欣赏加总结规律的方法看一遍.收获很多的.看对的如何对,错的又是如何错的,很有成就感,有时间的XDJM可以试试,我在做CR,感觉很好

嗯，是不错，我还有三套题，做完就该总结了。晚上研究JJ

回想这一路做的题：

SC：og > 5 times, 白勇>4 times,大全 once,xy once, tt once

cr:  og 3 times, feifei once, 大全 once,xy once,tt once

rc. og 2 times, 大全 once, 郑清山 once, xy once, tt once

math. feifei once, tt once

够累的。。。
