30. The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center, a complex where final try outs are held for athletes representing the US in the Olympics, is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation for international competition.

A.) is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation

B.) is geared to enhance the performance of athletes and to prepare them
C.) are geared to enhance athletes performance and their preparation
D.) are geared toward the enhancement of athletes' performance and toward preparing them
E.)  are geared toward enhancing the performance of athletes and preparing them

 

A: is 应该改复数，toward 后面不平行

B: is 应该改复数

C: enhance their preparation 不合逻辑

D: and前后不平行

E: correct

 

注意：句意上判断是哪种平行

================================================

我想知道为什么用are,而不是is, The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center 应该说的是一个大的项目吧？否则为什么要大写呢？

另外，enhance toword doing与enhance to do是否都可以使用，还是哪个更加好。。。

虽然是大写的，可是中心词是The Sports Medicine Programs 啊。说明不是一个program，是很多啊。

Ibelive

因为The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center 中心词是programs 啊

还有,这里并不是考enhance toword doing与enhance to do的区别,而是考 parallelism

有谁可以指出C那里逻辑不对吗?做题的时候看C满平行的,还用了V形式,一下子就选了,立刻就中招了

刚好我也再复习这一题

    

C错的原因是
        toward the enhancement (名词) … and toward
preparing (动名词)

    

不平衡

因为没有enhance preparation这种说法

E中的them没有指代不清的问题吗？到底什么时候考虑代词的指代问题呢？

同时，人的所有格不是's吗？这个也不是必须的是吗？

jesdy

看完了讨论还是没明白

c很平行啊

----C中THEIR无指代对象,无法指代athlete

 are geared to enhance
            athletes performance and their preparation

==》这里成了 athletes performance 和preparation 并列，enhance 成了他们的动词。

但是题目要表达的意思是： are geared toward enhancing the performance of athletes and preparing them

enhancing the performance of athletes 和 preparing 并列。动词发出是are geared
