OG136 (OG11-33)，OG11和OG10不同了？翘首企盼高人指点

spyder1011

我不太了解历史，请问NN们OG11是不是GMAT换了东家后出的产品，发现好多地方同样的题目解释大不一样了。大家请看下面这道题：

136.(OG11-33) Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so debilitating that it has become an economic drain on many developing countries.

(A)  it is so debilitating that it has become an economic

(B)  it is of such debilitation, it has become an economical

(C)  so debilitating is it as to become an economic

(D)  such is its debilitation, it becomes an econom­ical

(E)  there is so much debilitation that it has become
    an economical

OG10：C uses an awkward and wordy construction in place of a that... clause.

OG11：The construction so x as to y is not a correct idiom

怎么就从awkward和wordy变成了not correct idiom了呢？

so as...to do查阅了之前许多NN的讨论，觉得没什么问题呀。同时发现不知道是巧合还是故意，标志so...as to do（不包括so as to do）正确OG10-88却从OG11中删掉了！！（88题我贴下面了。）同时，还有CDer指出一些原先承认的用法现在被否定了，如讨论的很火的OG11-45中那个that能不能省的问题。

OG11是不是和OG10有了很多区别呢？如果有，那岂不是CD里很多从前的讨论结果都不能用或者要慎用了呢？大家能不能再举报一下OG10和11不同的地方，也好给我们新人提个醒。

或者这完全是我的无稽之谈，也请高人不吝赐教。

OG10-88. The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are so unrealistic as to constitute what one scholar calls an "artificial face."

(A)  so unrealistic as to constitute

(B)  so unrealistic they constituted

(C)  so unrealistic that they have constituted

(D)  unrealistic enough so that they constitute

(E)  unrealistic enough so as to constitute

The verbs are and calls indicate that the sculpture is being viewed and judged in the present. Thus, neither the past tense verb constituted (in B) nor the present perfect verb have constituted (in C) is correct; both suggest that the statue's features once constituted an artificial face but no longer do so. Also, B would be better if that were inserted after so unrealistic, although the omission of that is not ungrammatical. Choices D and E use unidiomatic construc­tions with enough: unrealistic enough to constitute would be idiomatic, but the use of enough is imprecise and awkward in this context. Choice A, which uses the clear, concise, and idiomatic construction so unrealistic as to constitute, is best.

帮顶!

LZ非常仔细!提出的问题值得讨论!

(个人觉得so as to 结构没有问题,但C在使用时用错了.)

感谢两位帮ding！！

我自己也在总结OG10和OG11的变化，但是现在成果不大。特别是这几天正好在总结OG11新增的题目，如果有发现新的变化和趋势我会在这个帖子里贴出来的。也希望大家能贴一些可疑的东西上来，大家一起讨论效果好。呵呵

文明

关于【so as to】是否被OG11定性，请到以下连接看看。

我觉得是倒装问题. 但有个疑问: 难道置于句中前面有状语分句, 就不能用倒装?
