大全上 天山新题20 -2 的 答案有误 (大全985)

感谢 gemj 的 无私奉献

大全真是 旷世杰作,对查找总结尤其方便

最近 在Kaplan gmat 800 上看到 此题,答案是 A

特将 解释 抄录如下

2.    Those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree trunk.
(A) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark
(B) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, whose different colors mark
(C) been seeing layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, whose different colors are markers of
(D) been able to see layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors marking
(E) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, marking by different colors

The key to getting the right answer for this question is recognizing that the underlined portion of the sentence should not contain pronoun. The answer choices give you the option of replacing with different colors with whose different colors but the second option is wrong because, if you added whose, it could refer to the layers or the  Canon, and whenever a pronoun has more than one possible antecedent (the thing it refer to), it's used incorrectly. Eliminate (B) and (C). (A) is correct.

Eliminate (E) as well because the subject of "marking" is similarly unclear; is it the layer or the Canyon this is marking the passage of time? And (A) is better than (D) because, once again, seen is better than the wordier alternative been able to see. (A) is correct.

gemj 请看一下,大全中任未改过来

另 天山新题20 第九题 的答案 好像应为 D

9.    Baker was perhaps not the most gifted soloist in the orchestra, but the conductor felt what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by the passion with which he played the music.
(A) what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by
(B) what he lacked in technical skill was more than made up by
(C) whatever was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by
(D) whatever he lacked in technical skill was more than made up for by
(E) whatever he lacked in technical skill he more than made up by

我觉得答案是A。whatever这里意思不通。另外be lacking in 是个习惯表达。至于make up与make up for是否都能表达弥补的意思,我不是很清楚。

以下是引用shellyaaa在2003-12-5 5:49:00的发言:

whatever 与 the most gifted soloist  对应,意思表达的完美,很通啊。
make up for 才是 弥补 的意思

         新题20-2,答案到底是A还是D??



         Snazzy    ecsniffer    jnlvo    tianwan你们的看法是什么??


         大家的看法呢??


         我当时做这个题目,选的是A,我看到D先排除了,been    able    to    情态动词擅自添加嘛,而且,D和A比较,除去前面的been    able    to    区别,就在于从句和分词,但是我认为从句和分词区别不是致命的,而情态动词的添加,似乎不太好


         但GEMJ兄没有将大全的答案改掉,是不是还有什么问题?


         大家来看看,讨论。。。

应该还是D:A的with短语有问题,做状语不好理解,作定语也不好理解。fficeffice" />


D的with短语结构相当于独立主格结构,避免了A的尴尬。

         tianwan讲的有道理,但是我觉得做独立主格也不是很好理解,能具体解释一下吗?


         weiyu兄怎么看?其他斑竹怎么看

marking 是个现在分词,这个with结构和独立主格起同样的作用,在这里表原因。将这个结构还原 because colors mark the passage of time like the rings.



注意,标准书面语中,独立主格不仅仅表示伴随,还可以表示时间,原因,条件,结果等等,根据情况而定。
