今天做XY5,错了4个SC。好事情,让我认识到很多自己的不足。其中有一题看了讨论后有些总结,贴上来看看对大家是不是有帮助。 GWD-7-Q33: The health benefits of tea have been the subject of much research; in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting some forms of cancer, the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis may also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. - in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting
- in addition to its possibilities to prevent or inhibit
- besides the possibility that it prevents and inhibits
- besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of
E. besides possibly preventing or inhibiting 答案是E。做题时对besides doing这种结构感觉没见过,愣是不敢选。看了CD的讨论,把一些关键的地方摘抄如下。我什么贡献也没有。 ===== 关于in addition to的经典例子可以参见OG19,besides的经典例子参见OG141。 19. In addition to having more protein -than wheat does, the protein in rice is higher quality than that in wheat, with more of the amino acids essential to the human diet. (A) the protein in rice is higher quality than that in (B) rice has protein of higher quality than that in (C) the protein in rice is higher in quality than it is in (D) rice protein is higher in quality than it is in (E) rice has a protein higher in quality than 141. Unlike transplants between identical twins, whose genetic endowment is the same, all patients receiving hearts or other organs must take antirejection drugs for the rest of their lives. (A) Unlike transplants between identical twins, whose genetic endowment is the same (B) Besides transplants involving identical twins with the same genetic endowment (C) Unless the transplant involves identical twins who have the same genetic endowment (D) Aside from a transplant between identical twins with the same genetic endowment (E) Other than transplants between identical twins, whose genetic endowment is the same In A and B, the phrases beginning Unlike... and Besides... modify patients, the subject of the main clause; thus A absurdly states that Unlike transplants ..., patients... must take ... drugs, and B that all patients except for transplants... must take ... drugs. In B and D the expression identical twins with the same genetic endowment wrongly suggests that only some identical twin pairs are genetically identical. In E, the construction Other than transplants..., all patients ... must take... drugs illogically suggests, as in B, that some patients are transplants. Choice C, the best answer, solves these problems by using a clause introduced by Unless to describe the exception to the rule and a nonrestrictive clause beginning with who to describe the characteristic attributed to all identical twins. 参考上述两个范例我们会发现,类似的介词短语本身是由寻求逻辑主语匹配的问题,比如Besides A, B ... 句中A/B是属性相似的东西,但是Besides doing A, B do ...句中的B是besides短语中doing的逻辑主语。上述的理论或许和我们在kingsoft或longman中找到的相关词的例子有所差异,但是,这肯定是ETS的倾向,为了表达更为清楚明确。 如: Besides yielding such psychological rewards as relief from stress, deep relaxation, if practice regularly, can strength the immune system and produce a host of other physiological benefits. (大全175) 更进一步,以下一些用法要考虑逻辑主语的合理性: 介词短语,分词,形容词词组位于句首时,其逻辑主语等于句子主语。 1.介词短语如:in contrast to (OG82),(according to, contrary to 例外,不用满足这条),as well as, besides,(un)like, 2.分词(现在分词和过去分词):doing /v-ed,或前面加介词的分词短语:by doing…, in addition to doing …,等等 3.形容词短语:如Reluctant to do sth, sb…..GWD-7-Q39: 其他还有什么要考虑逻辑主语合理性的,请大家补充。 |
