总结一下 In one of ——OG11 Choice D——OG10 对比OG10和OG11这道题有以下几点要注意——自己的补充 55. In one of the most stunning reversals in the history of marketing,the Coca-Cola company in July 1985 yielded to thousands of irate consumers demanding that it should bring back the original Coke formula. (A) demanding that it should (B) demanding it to (C) and their demand to (D) who demanded that it (E) who demanded it to Verb form + Grammatical construction The use of the subjunctive is relatively infrequent in English;this sentence is an instance when it must be used. When a that clause follows a verb such as ask, recommend,request,or demand, the subjunctive (formed from the base form of the verb,such as be or bring) is used in the clause.Thus,the correct use of the subjunctive here is consumers who demanded that it bring.... A The construction requires the subjunctive;the use of should is incorrect. B Demanding it to bring is not a grammatically correct construction. C Using both consumers and their demand is redundant. D Correct.In this sentence,the subjunctive bring correctly follows demanded that it. E Demanded it to bring is not a grammatically correct construction. The correct answer is D. OG10TH的解释——Choice D, the best answer, uses the grammatically correct expression demanded that it bring back, in which demanded that it is followed by the subjunctive verb bring. Choice A incorrectly uses should bring rather than bring: demanding that already conveys the idea of "should," and at any rate a modal auxiliary verb, such as should or must, cannot grammatically follow the expression demanded that. Similarly, B and E use the ungrammatical expression demanding/demanded it to. In C, the expression yielded to... customers and their demand to bring... unnecessarily states that the company yielded to the customers as well as to their demand. This expression also fails to specify that the company is expected to bring back the original formula.
对比OG10和OG11这道题有以下几点要注意的: 1, yield to demand [n] 2, demand [v] 3, demanding & who demanded 现在分词作定语 4, deamnd 等一系列词后面的虚拟语气
1, yield (up) sth to sb; In C, the expression yielded to... customers and their demand to bring... unnecessarily states that the company yielded to the customers as well as to their demand. C Using both consumers and their demand is redundant.因为consumer and the demand 在逻辑上是一回事。This expression also fails to specify that the company is expected to bring back the original formula.因为consumer demanded company 和company is expected by customers 才是最终点明the stunning reversals 的关键。 2,demand 作动词三种用法:demand sth to do sth that sb (should) do sth 没有B和E中的 demand sb to do sth. 3, A.B中的demanding 属于非谓语动词中的现在分词作在名词后面做定语。作用相当于定语从句,还原成定语从句时,谓语动词有两种时态:一般现在时和现在进行时。就是说如果此处demanding 是成立是则要么可以还原成consumers who demand 要么可以还原成consumers who is demanding. 但是主句中的时间状语July 1985 和谓语动词yield to 都说明这个地方如果用定语从句应该用一般过去时who demanded.所以A.B不成立。 4,如果说OG10还没有点明这道题的主考点的话,其实在OG11中已经说的很明确了。The use of the subjunctive is relatively infrequent in English;this sentence is an instance when it must be used. When a “that clause” follows a verb such as ask, recommend,request,or demand, the subjunctive (formed from the base form of the verb,such as be or bring) is used in the clause.我们最不能理解的是,高中英语中说“should”在这里是可要可不要的。但是在美国人的用法里面一般是省略“should”的。如果还不能接受,OG10 给出的美国人的理解demanding that already conveys the idea of "should," and at any rate a modal auxiliary verb, such as should or must, cannot grammatically follow the expression demanded that.即情态动词的已经包含在上述一系列词语的义素中了,如果再使用就重复了。这一点张道真实用英语语法中10.3.1-3)也给出了说明。扩张一下这一类词包括:suggest demand insist ask advise propose urge vote request command desire move order recommend require decree intend pertition
