(A) For all his professed disdain of such activities
(B) Having always professed disdain for such activities
(C) All such activities were, he professed, disdained, and
(D) Professing that all such activities were disdained
(E) In spite of professions of disdaining all such activities
正确答案：A。我误选了d。
后来想想，是不是A表原因在这里更优呢？还有all such activities是不是应该是such all activities.请指正。
38.Although many art patrons can readily differentiate a good debenture from an undesirable one, they are much less expert in distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art and fakes.
(A) much less expert in distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art and
(B) far less expert in distinguishing good paintings from poor ones, authentic art from
(C) much less expert when it comes to distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art from
(D) far less expert in distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art and
(E) far less the expert when it comes to distinguishing between good painting, poor ones, authentic art, and
正确答案b。这题我的疑问为什么b中的authentic art from fakes 前面不需要and呢？这不是并列么？谢谢

呵呵,你的问题很有挑战性啊! (我得第一感觉.)
13, 我和你错的一样,不过仔细看一下,确定确实是自己错了,我觉得这道题要从分句和主句的意思上面分析会比较清楚: Auden这个人为什么会是一个积习难改的讲闲话得人(主句的意思), 是因为D中的"他表示所有这些活动被鄙视"这样一个事实吗? 从D中无法弄清究竟是谁disdain, 对吗? 而原文所要表达的意思是: Auden这个人总是瞧不起所有这些活动,所以他才是一个根深蒂固的爱说闲话的人. 还有: all such activities没有错.

38. 你的意思是要这样用: ... in distinguishing good paintings from poor ones, and authentic art from fakes. 是吗? 这样写一下会比较清楚: and表并列,可是如果这么用, 会confuse一点: 究竟and 是想表达谁和谁并列?完全可以理解为表示: good paintings 和authentic art并列, 而各自的from 介词短语作补语, 要想用and 可以,但要补充完整: and distinguishing authentic art from fakes. 但是这么用就重复,罗嗦, 不如B 表达的好.

谢谢 rabbitbug的精彩讲解，我明白了
13题感觉考查的主要是句意。
另外，正如 rabbitbug  指出的“all such activities”没有错。
such修饰单数名词时，放于不定冠词a(an)之前，若名词前有one，no，any，some，all,many等修饰时，such放在这些修饰词之后。

我想更正一点，for all是一个固定搭配，相当于despite, in spite of，是尽管、虽然的意思，在这里13题的句意是要求转折的，并不是一个因果关系。

第13题还是没看懂，到底是因果关系还是转折关系？

13.转折，for all=in spite of.


38. distinguish between A and B, distinguish A from B.惯用法。许多NN已经讨论过了。并列成分不一定非要加and，并列分句时必须要加and的。

以下是引用ecsniffer在2003-12-3 9:26:00的发言：
13.For    all    his    professed    disdain    of    such    activities,    Auden    was    an    inveterate    literary    gossip.
(A)    For    all    his    professed    disdain    of    such    activities
(B)    Having    always    professed    disdain    for    such    activities
(C)    All    such    activities    were,    he    professed,    disdained,    and
(D)    rofessing    that    all    such    activities    were    disdained
(E)    In    spite    of    professions    of    disdaining    all    such    activities
正确答案：A。我误选了d。
后来想想，是不是A表原因在这里更优呢？还有all    such    activities是不是应该是such    all    activities.请指正。

In this question," for all" is an adverb equal to "in spite of"


professed is an adjective,rather than a past participle

13、这里for all是个固定搭配，是“尽管”的意思

38、我感觉这里是distinguish的固定用法，distinguish...from或者distinguish   between...and...

对答案没有疑义.我的问题是far比much修饰less expert要更适当,WHY?
