（1）     GWD-1-Q7:

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

 

1. that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

2. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

3. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

4. CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

5. CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

 

这题讨论上说A错误在于比较对象不清。不明确什么在和ratio比。Compared to是过去分词放句尾，就近修饰workers。把workers和 a ratio比了。

 

但下题

 

（2）     GWD-6-Q18:

In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

 

1. In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

2. Of the Californians under the age of eighteen, today more than 43 percent of them are Hispanic, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

3. Today, more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic, compared with about 35 percent a decade ago.

4. Today, compared to a decade ago, Californians who are Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, whereas it was about 35 percent.

5. Today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen in California account for more than 43 percent, unlike a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

C也没有明确指出是什么和35 percent比。
    

 

怎么又对了？
        而且过去分词compared  紧跟着Hipanic，修饰似乎也不太好。

 

是不是根本就没什么规律可寻啊？
        瘸子里选将军选个好点的就是了。
    

还有,过去分次放句尾,逻辑主语就近为前面的名词, 到底对不对. OG有原题啊.

127. In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees' paychecks. assigned by them to the United Nations.

(A)  for their employees' paychecks, assigned by them

(B)  for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned

(C)  for the paychecks of their employees, having been assigned

(D)  in place of their employees' paychecks, for those
                of them assigned

(E)   in place of the paychecks of their employees to
                have been assigned by them

In choice A, the phrase assigned by them modifies the adjacent noun, paychecks: the sentence implies that paychecks, rather than employees, work at the United Nations.

 那G6-18那个compared的修饰没有问题吗??

指教...

yaoyao99

G6-18 sounds okay.  The sentence compares "more than 43% of Californian (Hispanic)" with "about 35% (of Californian under 18 are Hispanic)".

突然发现，碰见COMPARE 的时候，你别看后面的部分，看句子主语试试？？？

  GWD-1-Q7:   A  CEO’s --- a ratio

              C   who---     42 times

              D    who---     42 times

              E     CEO’s --- a ratio

             

GWD-6-Q18:

            A   Hispanics    a decade ago

            B   more than 43 percent      a decade ago

    ZHU YI ： C  more than 43 percent     about 35 percent

            D  a decade ago      Californians who

 

要是分词的话，就按照就近修饰来吧，COMPARE 这个我也不敢肯定，还有待证明，所以十分希望你能把所有的COMPARE 例子全都找到，然后横向比较一下   MSN ：allen0018@hotmail.com
