212. The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy
aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving the efficiency of its
distribution system.

A.    aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving
B.    aimed at the decreasing of operating costs and to improve
C.    aiming at the decreasing of operating costs and improving
D.    the aim of which is the decreasing of operating costs and improving
E.    with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve

In E, the infinitives to decrease and to improve, while parallel, are less idiomatic than
the prepositional phrase of decreasing ... and improving in modifying the noun aim.
Also, with the aim...to improve can easily be construed as referring to the Baldrick
Manufacturing Company and so does not refer unequivocally to policy.

偶在选a的时候也犹豫了一下，我也觉得按理说好象with的修饰是有问题的，但是我觉得
其他的选项都有问题，所以仍然的选了A。
从上面的题对E的解释上看来ets好象是认为这种with的结构是可以被理解为修饰前面的词
的，所以第一题中的A的修饰是不是可以认为没有歧义呢？请指教

with A as B,应该没问题的.可是词短语+ 同位结构,对不对啊?

我也不明白啊.你可能是对的.

joywzy 我认为 t4  with children care 不是独立主格，而是介词短语+ 同位结构，不知对不对。

t4两种理解都是对的，并不矛盾。答案是b

谢谢天山，老有好东西分享。

ADABC   AEDBE

用时11分钟(第8题是老题)。

答案里第2题拿不准，觉得5个选项都不尽如人意，最后选D，好象没有人选，没底。
第7题一定是E，因为其他4项里without the aid of telephoto lenses 都有修饰歧义。

你真厉害!!! 11分钟. 我花了18分钟, 答案aaabc,aedbe, 非常sure. 不过一开始我t9选错了
t2应为a, d的marking应用一般时态.且been able to语法不错,但此处与原文想表达的逻辑意思不符合.

寂寞的时候想想我
想我的时候来看我

What can be infer from the passage?
ANS: 寂寞的时候来看我

#2: A is the right answer

the answer choices give you the option of replacing with different clors with whose different colors but the second options is wrong because , if you added whose, it could refer to the layers ofr the Canon, and whenever a pronoun has more than one possible antecedent, it is used incorrectly. Eliminate B and C. A is correct. Eliminate E as well because the subject of marking is similarly unclear; is it the layers or the Canyon that is marking the passage of time? And A is better than D because, once again, seen is better than the wordier alternative been able to see. A is correct.
