76. Never before had taxpayers confronted so many
        changes at once as they had in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

so many changes at once as they had in at once as many changes as

at once as many changes that there were with as many changes at once as they confronted in so many changes at once that confronted .

them in

Verb form + Idiom

This sentence compares changes before and after 1986. The correct idiom for the kind of comparison
        shown here is
        as many ... as. Two periods in time are
        compared, and the verbs must reflect the difference. The period before 1986 requires the past perfect, had confronted, because it is the earlier of the two; the period beginning in 1986 requires the simple past, confronted, because it is the later.

A       So many ... as is not the correct idiom; had is the wrong verb tense

B        At once is awkwardly placed; a clause must follow as to complete the sentence

C       At once is awkwardly placed; as many ... that is not the correct idiom; there were with is awkward and wordy

D         Correct. This sentence uses the correct idiom as many ... as, and confronted is the appropriate verb tense.

E          So many ... that is not the correct idiom; the subject of the verb should be they

The correct answer is D.

再看一下og11-59

59.      His studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present-day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had
                    existed in now currently temperate areas.

(A)            in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas

(B)           in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas

(C)           when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate

(D)           when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas

(E)           when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate

In which or when can be used interchangeably in this sentence. The verb form here should be the simple past existed rather than the past perfect had existed. Now currently is redundant because both adverbs express the same idea.

A       Had existed should be existed; now currently is redundant

B        Correct. The simple past verb tense is correctly used in this sentence; now is placed and used correctly.

C       Where there were areas now temperate is wordy and confusing

D       Had existed should be existed; current should be

currently; in current temperate areas is unclear

E   Now is an adverb and should be placed just after are

 

这是og指出的E的唯一的错误，那前面一题为什么又说ad位置不对呢？我晕了，nn救我

Zeldaw

没有看出这两题有什么矛盾的地方

楼主再说清楚一点，对不起.......

yf1369

我是说副词的位置，按59题不是应该放在动词后么，og说因为这个问题所以E才不对，那上面那题at once不是也应该放在confront后面么？虽然按语感我觉得应该放在charges后……

另外at once位置为啥说awkwardly placed，有副词放法的规则么？

是不是这个问题很白痴，不过我真有点晕

now that 是“既然”的意思

yf1369

还是不太明白，短语类的只要放在一起就不考虑逻辑意思了么？

还有副词的位置，有一定的规则么？

副词的位置：

张道真英语语法的425页的说明：

• 一般副词
• 多数副词都放在所修饰动词后面或者句末
• 有时候放在主语和动词之间（以下3种情况）
• 宾语较长时，副词常常提前，以免副词离动词太远
• 有些说明性格或者智力的副词，常可以放在动词前面 I foolishly forgot my passport.
• 有些副词如 suddenly soon nearly surely almost just still really 等常可以放在动词前面
• 有些副词常放在助动词和主要动词之间或者主语和表语之间
• 有些动词为了强调可以放在居首

总的感觉副词的位置非常灵活~~
