OG-67,100 ETS不喜欢啥

joywzy

67. Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newbom children.

provide workers with unpaid leave so as to
to provide workers with unpaid leave so as to
provide workers with unpaid leave in order that they
to provide workers with unpaid leave so that they can
provide workers with unpaid leave and
Choices A, C, and E are ungrammatical because, in this context, requiring ... employers must be followed by an infinitive. These options display additional faults: in A, so as to fails to specify that the workers receiving the leave will be the people caring for the infants and children; in order that they, as used in C, is imprecise and unidiomatic; and E says that the bill being debated would require the employers themselves to care for the children. Choice B offers the correct infinitive, to provide, but contains the faulty so as to. Choice D is best.

为什么说:in order that they, as used in C, is imprecise and unidiomatic;
??

100. Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota have

begun to enforce statewide bans prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings.

prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
prohibiting that landfills accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves, brush, and grass clippings
that leaves, brush, and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills
that landfills cannot accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
Choice C is the best answer. Either of the following constructions would be idiomatic here: x forbids y to do z or x prohibits y from doing z. Choices A and B violate idiom;

\ D and E introduce constructions that, in context, are faulty. First of all, both bans that x cannot be done and bans that y cannot do x are unidiomatic formulations. Secondly, the negative cannot after bans is illogical.

下面这段话如何理解?
D and E introduce constructions that, in context, are faulty. First of all, both bans that x cannot be done and bans that y cannot do x are unidiomatic formulations. Secondly, the negative cannot after bans is illogical.

谢谢.

67、in order that 在GMAT里被认为是不正规的表达方式，就象instead of，但是不是绝对的，如果选项里有其他的合理的表达方式，例如SO THAT，就应该关注，但建议不把这个倾向作为最高优先级，还是先从其他方面排除。另外in order to通常也被认为是WORDY的，因为可以用TO直接表达，但是要比较选项。同时，SO AS TO的逻辑主语是句子主语，例如A、B，明显出现了逻辑意思上的错误，这也是需要注意的。

100、我觉得主要是句子意思，BANS是禁止一种行为，这种行为应该是“landfills accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings ”，而不是CANNOT，否则就变成支持它了，双重否定。

brave GG,

T100,明白了.意思太重要了.

T67,关于ETS认为不喜欢的表达方式,可我们中学中有的认为对的,GG有没有总结过?
in order that
in order to
because of doing
on account of doing

还有什么吗?GG若有总结过的,可否发给我一份.谢谢.

我没有总结过这个语法点，不过从做题过程中你会明显地感觉到，如果在句子中其他没有什么可比的了，则个人认为：
so that> so ... as to > in order to > in order that

Because of / On account of / Despite/ Despite for/  Except for / Account for 这些词通常会在句首做原因状语，ETS倾向于直接加名词，不加动名词.

谢谢,我在做题中再总结吧.

同意,情态还是很重要的.

我来迟了，同意情态动词的保留。除非其它意思代情态动词的选项逻辑意思错误

参见OG171解释：

OG67, 施动者employers, 被动者workers, 而后面的so that从句的主语要求是workers, 这样, 造成in order that不可以, 而只能用so that.
相对的OG171里面, 施动者King, 被动者queen, so that的主语he(King), 这时in order that 就可以和so that互换了.
因此, in order that语气比较强, 对应的是施动者, 而so that 就比较灵活, 应用范围也比较广

比较赞同dreadpower的观点。我想也许还可从另一个角度看这个问题：

in order that本身应该是appropriate，但为什么og67中说"in order that they" is imprecise and unidiomatic。我想in order that they首先是跟主句的谓语is debating，这样说不过去；接下来可能是跟requiring，意思上是对的，但我想其次的对应首先可能是in order that之前最近的动词provide，这样就成certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave in order that they care for sick or newbom children.显然有问题，因为理解上应该是bill的目的，所以imprecise。

so that表结果，不存在这种情况，跟require和provide都说得通。

og171不存在这个问题，in order that 无论是跟sought 或是跟 have annulled 都说的通，所以og说in order that是an appropriate conjunction。

我想如果a bill requires certain employers to provide workers with unpaid leave in order that they care for sick or newbom children.单独作句，in order that 可能是可以的，因为它首先对应谓语require，但如果是象og67这种结构，它就肯定是imprecise and unidiomatic 了。

sb1 do sb2 to do sth.in order thatsb2这种结构，有没有可能对，还要检验，很可能根本就是imprecise and unidiomatic 。

可能还是那个can的问题。C就是少了一个can，不能说ETS不喜欢in order that。

目的状语从句中，in order that比so that更加正式，so that更常用；感觉in order that和so that没有任何意思上和用法上的差别。
