SC大全606,S19-7之解答

大全606 S19-7
    
7. Research during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity.
(A) that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity
(B) of producing and understanding it have revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity
(C) by which it is produced and understood has revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity
(D) by which it is produced and understood have revealed great complexity rather than underlying simplicity
(E) by which one produces and understands it have revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity

问了一个老外,他对GMAT没什么了解,仅仅从语感和考题的目的出发。他选择了A.原因如下:
1、A是更加common的回答,while C是一个更formal的回答
2、A是北美英语更加倾向的回答,主动,有力而且直接,而C是一个有些太正式而显得wordy的回答,比较British英语化
3、
A的弱点是instead of,他说老美确实不喜欢instead of,更宁愿用rather than,因为前者有点太随便。这里it就是要省略,念起来顺;C的弱点除了by
which(下面讲),还有就是not...but结构,这个结构给他的感觉好像上来是reveal的是自己不要的然后才是要的,感觉很差,就这点,配合
it is produced and understood,给他的感觉很weak。看来ETS所说的主动优先有道理,比较美国化
4、by which和that。他说美国人更喜欢that,因为更直接更有力:that produce and make it understandable用that一个词替换了by which it is四个词,效率高,而且念起来更加顺口。
5、
C和A各有微小差异。A只有一个弱点即instead
of,而C的弱点更明显,但更清晰(就像中文说:我吃的比你多,和“我吃的饭比你吃的饭多”)。就看谁是受众,如果是英国人,是对一个律师文件,C好点,但
如果是面向北美人,用于商业文件,建议A就可,足够清楚但又不会像C那样清晰的过份.

2、A是北美英语更加倾向的回答,主动,有力而且直接,而C是一个有些太正式而显得wordy的回答,比较British英语化 A 的问题是produce的宾语是什么? make it understandable 的it 有unstandable在右边, 就不算produce的宾语了. C is not the perfect answer, but it doesn't have fatal problems.
3、A的弱点是instead of,他说老美确实不喜欢instead of,更宁愿用rather than,因为前者有点太随便。这里it就是要省略,念起来顺;C的弱点除了by

it is produced and understood,给他的感觉很weak。看来ETS所说的主动优先有道理,比较美国化as far as GMAT concerns, N. + instead of + N. is 100% correct

问了一个老外,他对GMAT没什么了解,仅仅从语感和考题的目的出发。他选择了A.原因如下:
1、A是更加common的回答,while C是一个更formal的回答 GMAT is a testing of formal English, not common street English.
答复:他给出的自己的意见。他所谓的common是指更加常见的表达,并不是指随意或不严谨的说法,而formal是指这种表达过于追求形式上的完整而在语言本意表达上失去简洁。
2、A是北美英语更加倾向的回答,主动,有力而且直接,而C是一个有些太正式而显得wordy的回答,比较British英语化 A
的问题是produce的宾语是什么? make it understandable 的it 有unstandable在右边,
就不算produce的宾语了. C is not the perfect answer, but it doesn't have fatal
problems.
答复:他明确地说,produce的宾语就是it, 即language,produce it and make it understandable可以并列,但并列时前面的it必须省略否则wordy, awkward (这是他的原话,并说类似的题在他们上大学英文写作时专门有讲过,对什么情况下表达是wordy和awkard有专门表述)。他同时也说C没有错,但绝对不是best,也没有什么fatal problem,但以英语为母语的人无论谁写作都不会采用这种写法(他说得比较绝对。我感觉就像我们教老外写中文时他们较真的样子,哈哈)
3、A的弱点是instead of,他说老美确实不喜欢instead of,更宁愿用rather than,因为前者有点太随便。这里it就是要省略,念起来顺;C的弱点除了by which(下面讲),还有就是not...but结构,这个结构给他的感觉好像上来是reveal的是自己不要的然后才是要的,感觉很差,就这点,配合
it is produced and understood,给他的感觉很weak。看来ETS所说的主动优先有道理,比较美国化as far as GMAT concerns, N. + instead of + N. is 100% correct
答复:他只说instead of不是最喜欢的表达方式,往往产生歧义,甚至在这题里有和instead of前面所有要所有表达的东西并列的感觉(这是他自己感觉了),并说在写作时很多时候都避免有这种表达,而用rather than。虽然把“而不是xxx”放到后面表达,但rather than有强烈的对比意向,使比较的两者之间具有共同的重量,符合要对比表达的目的;而instead of意思弱化,有些前重后轻,如果在比较时似乎并不是很有力。
