T-4-Q12

For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing an average of 2,275 gallons of mild each per year.

1. providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing

2. providing them with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces

3. provided with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing

4. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces

5. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce

Why choose E? 和"For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool"的逻辑关系？

What's the logic behind it?

provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly的逻辑主语是cows，不能选a或b，providing 修饰的主体有歧义，也讲不通；

For the farmaer 。。。是目的状语，修饰奶牛产奶。

还是不明白...E项为什么不对,providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly可以视为是farmer作主语, providing, and milking作伴随状语吗?

For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool这个成分也还是没看懂....

 

爱林如梦

有一种解释是，这个句子是个大倒装，正确的语序是　
                Provided  with high-energy feed, and miked regularly, Holstein cows will produce an average of 2,275 gallons of mild each per year for the farmer who takes care to keep them cool.
            

所以E是正确的。并且找分词的逻辑主语时，优先考虑句子的主语。所以E优于A。

再者，A中用的是现在进行时， 感觉不好。句子明明是条件句啊。

明白鸟！

主要还是看逻辑意思：

A，后半句主动有歧义：

牛们给自己providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly

E被动：更好

providing的主语肯定不会是牛呀，是前面的farmers

我同意楼上说这句是个大倒装的说法

这样解释的很明白：）

5楼解释不对。

原文是这样的：（from “scienceonline”）

When it comes to milk production, nothing beats Holsteins. For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, sated with high-energy chow, and milked regularly—often under the management of a sophisticated computer—these familiar black-and-white cows produce an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year. The average Brown Swiss, in contrast, produced only 1,820 gallons last year, and a Jersey less than 1,600.

本题中cool，provided with，milked是平行关系，都是keep them的补语。句子整体结构是：for sb.，cows do sth.。

原文中，cool，sated，milked很明显是表状态的并列关系。而本题中把sated换作provided，让人感觉provided强调动作而非状态，不能与cool平行，造成考生的逻辑混乱。ETS真阴险！！！

另外，金山词霸讲provided with是“拥有”的意思（可以理解为表状态的词组，这种解释使它能与cool平行），但是LOngman中没有这种提法。
