[原创]8月2日北美 720 （Q 48，V41）PACE应该具体化

无比

"截至", 那不正是普通过去时吗? 这两句摘自OG10th,

- attitude among Black workers in other industries toward unions remained unchanged by 1935

- By 1979, the total borrowings and losses of state-owned industries were running at about t3 billion a year.

嗯。。。原来是这样啊。。。谢谢jandjshi 的指正。

回头翻了翻白勇的语法。

过去完成时判断的标志

通过逻辑关系判断动作发生在过去某一时间之前或过去某一动作之前 。即“过去的过去”

看来，过去完成时要慎用。。。

很牛的说,数学48还能考720,要是51的话至少也有780

主谓不一致？哪里？不会是觉得six hours a week后面应该用was吧？主语是six hours，当然应该用were

另外，By引导的时间状语，主句确实是可以用过去完成时的，OG上的：By the time I left for school，the cake had been baked。

嗯嗯。。。原来是要看情况~~

这个例子里，强调蛋糕烤好的动作发生在我离开学校之前。。。

题目原句用过去完成时是强调figure上升到6h/week 是by 1997 ，也就是在1997这个时间之前咯？

如果用过去时，那么数据的上升则是发生在1997 年里。

是这样吗？

先谢过楼主.

同意顾兄的答案.

不过楼主好像不是说pyramid那题, 更像是这题. 请楼主回来转转时verify一下.

In 1981 children in the United States spent an average of slightly less than two and a half hours a week doing household chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours a week.

A) chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours a week

B) chores; by 1997 that figure had grown to nearly six hours a week

C) chores, whereas nearly six hours a week were spent in 1997

D) chores, compared with a figure of nearly six hours a week in 1997

E) chores, that figure growing to nearly six hours a week in 1997

我倾向D. 大家讨论下.

应该是B,

A they没有指代

D 那个数字是特指,所以错

20楼的好像选B。

20楼的好像选B。

呵呵，偶选的是C，感觉这道题答案不是C就是D，因为只有这两个有转折或比较的含义，比较符合原句语义。

C用被动是有点awkward，但D中的a figure of偶第一眼看上去就觉得相当滴多此一举，要是没有a figure of偶肯定选D。

就是大家找到的In 1981 children in the United States spent an average of slightly less than two and a half hours a week doing household chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours a week. 和捕鱼那题的JJ。
前者GWD上选的是D， 不知道对不对。

牛2006

不用争了,显然楼主选的是D ,应该没错的.

哈佛情人

In 1981 children in the United States spent an average of slightly less than two and a half hours a week doing household chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours a week.

A) chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours a week

B) chores; by 1997 that figure had grown to nearly six hours a week

C) chores, whereas nearly six hours a week were spent in 1997

D) chores, compared with a figure of nearly six hours a week in 1997

E) chores, that figure growing to nearly six hours a week in 1997

I prefer B, because 2 facts in different time period are described in 2 independent clauses; moreover,  the main focus is the sentence is"figure-average time doing chores per week", whereas the emphais of D is the figure in 1981 only.

Not sure how to explain tense~~~

Open to discussion~~~
