[求助]prep 68 大牛救命啊,思路完全被打

mypiao

68. The cottontail rabbit population in Orange County, California, has increased unchecked in recent years as a result of the removal of the native fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands.

A. years as a result of the removal of

B. years as a result of removing

C. years, resulting from the removing of

D. years, which is result of removing

E. years, which is a result of the removal of

 

A: correct

B: removing 分词结构和后面the clearing of名词结构不对称

C: the removing 动名词应该改removal

D: which没指代

E: which 没指代

D,E排除很轻松,但这题把我一个思路打乱了,根据题干"the native fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands"中透露出来的信息,难道不应该用the removing吗?题干提供的信息限制划线部分的内容是不会错的啊.

大牛救命啊呵呵.

题干提供的信息限制划线部分的内容，这不是绝对的，我觉得，尤其不能限制绝对的形式相同。

GMAC 反复强调可以用动词表达的，不用名词，可以用名词表达的，不能用动名词。但是这也不是绝对，还是要看逻辑意思。

哎～慢慢摸索吧，做来做去，最大的感觉就是什么都不是绝对地～

新东方有个公理：GMAT选用词语的优先性的次序是    动词>形容词>名词>动名词

虽然不是绝对的，但大部分情况下都是适用的

刚查了下clearing这个单词,又把思路整理了下.目前想法如下:

这题是出题人故意挖的一个陷阱,clearing形式上是动名词,其实是一个名词,空旷地的意思.出题人就是希望我们选C

另,prep笔记总结的很好,当希望表现动作结果的时候,用名词;当希望表现动作过程时,用动名词

做语法题还是要完全理解句子意思那,不然掉进陷阱了还很high

原来clearing 还有空旷的意思，从这个角度上看，选removal就最好不过了。

但是说，为了表示结果而选removal就有点疑惑了，the result of removal, 那就是结果的结果？result 已经表示出了结果的意思，

比如 the result of eating too much,  还是说，GMAC就是prefer "result of sth". to "result of doing sth."

同样的情况还有selling

if there's a noun, GMAT prefer noun to gerund (+ing) form.

removal is the noun of remove (removing), so the removal is used here.

there is a noun, clearance, for clean but it means some other things than clearing.

263. In A.D. 391. resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria, later generations lost all but the lliad and Odyssey among Greek epics, most of the poetry of Pindar and Sappho, and dozens of plays by Aeschylus and Euripides.

(A)  resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria,

(B)   the destroying of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria resulted and

(C)  because of the result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,

(D)  as a result of the destruction of the library at
                Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,

(E)   Alexandria's largest library of the ancient
                world was destroyed, and the result was

D, the best choice, uses the idiomatic as a result o/and conveys information unambiguously. In A, the phrase that begins resulting from cannot properly modify later genera­tions. The word order of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria generates ambiguity: one possible read­ing is that the ancient world was located at Alexandria. Choice B is incorrect. Although an "-ing" verb such as destroying can sometimes act as a noun, in this case the usage is strained. Again, at Alexandria is ambiguous (as in choice A). Choice B also uses resulted ungrammatically and produces a run-on sentence (In A.D. 391, the destroying... resulted and later generations lost). In C, the phrase because of the result of is unidiomatic as well as redundant. The structure of E illogically suggests that there was more than one largest library of the ancient world and that only Alexandria's was destroyed. Furthermore, the result was should instead be the result was

C，resulting from the removing of这种结构要么是做前面句子的伴随状语表前面的结果，要么就是修饰前面的名词，但是这里后面是原因，所以不能作结果用。。。

而B，removing是V是不能和名词并列的~~~

以下是引用Lujs8061在2007-6-21 18:47:00的发言：

不能这么理解吧！即使clearing有空旷地的意思，这里也应该认作是动名词的含义，而我认为之所以不选removing是因为remove有更好的表动作的名词形式，即removal，而clearance则可能有歧义，所以才这样。

大家认为呢？
