GWD26-Q24 确定下答案

true

According to United States census data, in 1975 about one-third of mothers with young children worked outside the home; in 2000, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home.

如果选C的话，
分号的后半部分会不会就不属于｛According to United States census data｝了？
望nn指教。

好困惑的题目。

我和楼上想的一样，NN来解答下吧～～

红尘道士

我选c，d中的让步，不符合逻辑，而且d中的there be句型，没有必要

lcj2003kit

我选的C啊~~
我总觉得D里面“even though in 1975 there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home。。。”中who worked outside home像是说young children的~晓不得是不是
继续围观。。。。。

24. GWD26-Q24



According to United States census data, while there was about one-third



of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000,



almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.



A.     while there was about one-third of mothers with young children



working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds



of those mothers were employed outside the home.



B.     there were about one-third of mothers with young children who



worked outside the home in 1975; in 2000, almost two-thirds



of those mothers were employed outside the home



C.     in 1975 about one-third of mothers with young children worked



outside the home; in 2000, almost two-thirds of such mothers



were employed outside the home



D.     even though in 1975 there were about one-third of mothers with



young children who worked outside the home, almost two-thirds



of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000



E.      with about one-third of mothers with young children working out-



side the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were



employed outside the home in 2000




没有有人注意,those mothers    和   such mothers    ?

这题和那个什么chilren在1981年和1997年画时间做功课的SC题目的A选项的they指代错误差不多的，这里的those mothers错误的指代了75年的mother,此mother非彼mother!~

STILL CONFUSED...
比较里不是都用比如cars in1800...are twice more than those produced...in 1900
也没说those就指代1800年的车的呀。。。

我也同意这个观点，但是这样子就没选择了，所以我最后选了个E，估计是不对的，果真错了
呵呵，不知道分号是不是没有那么强的间断句子的能力

围观...

一点愚见，我的答案是C
排除D的原因是1.worked修饰不明确 指的是yong children还是mothers with young children?
2. even though使整句话意思让了一大步 感觉从句意上和原句不是很符合

但是有几个疑问希望高人指点
1. while表示让步时和表示比较时从句意上理解有什么不同??似乎从句意上while对两种的表示都是很轻微的 语气和比较都不是特别强烈和明显 这使我对while的两种表示有些概念模糊
2. 可不可以将分号理解为两个独立的句子中间的连词的标点符号?分号表示的句子是否应该前后并列呢?(我有试过在word中用英文写排比句，word自动给改成分号了)...

发言完毕 继续围观...等待NN

1、同意楼上的观点，不过while应该是表达让步，而不是比较，我认为while表示比较的时候比较双方应该是同时发生...而且如果是比较就不能被让步的even though所代替。
2、D中的who指代children有待商棰。定语从句完全可以跳跃指代。
3、但是我无法同意C里面用分号隔开两个有关联的句子。
4、such是指同类事物，those +n. 指代前面提到的Mothers，所以such mother是对的
5、C里面用worked把原句中用there be这个表达统计数据、存在的概念给抹掉了。统计数据用there be很正常，不能以那条规则排除选项。
同意D...

1.Manhattan 上有关于分号的使用：The semicolon connects two closely related statements.所以这句话可以用分号隔开，讲述两件有关的事，而没有让步语气。
2.关于while的使用，你提到的while在比较时更强调同时是正确的。OG上有句子关于比较时用while的时候说：While is somewhat ambiguous, since it might indicate simultaneity rather than contrast.（见OG12. 131题A选项分析）
3.比较讲究结构对称，这点manhattan上也说了。C和D比较，C中都是讲这样的母亲...worked/were employed outside the home，结构对称；而D选项前一句是个从句，虽然意思上表达无误，但是结构上就没有C好。另外基于第一点，even though就是多余的了。

So C is the best.

我也选的E，首先用such和其他方面排除了ABD，最后觉得E也说得通就选了E，我觉得原句的while有让步的意思，感觉1975的句子是从句，然后E中用with的独立主格也把重心放在了2000年的后半句，为什么C比E更好呢？
