prep2-29which就近指代

Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio winds through the middle of the business district, and the River, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular.

a.Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio

b.Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life, in San Anotonio the river

c.Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it

d. In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio

e. No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life , but in San Antonio the river

答案是E。他说B的错误是which离US最近，所以他指代的是US不是the river，我觉得这样的解释很牵强，我们曾经做过无数的指代稍微远的题，这是否为硬伤？

另外我对这个句子结构也有疑问。后面的and the river究竟和谁平行？如果和but后面的句子的平行，为什么有逗号？

考场如果看到题，我绝想不到他要考的是倒装，我只会想到是unlike的逻辑主语问题。所以对B构成疑问。

which 可以跳跃修饰在GMAT里面不能用 题库里面也就有那么一两个例子有过跳跃， 那是因为跳过的部分跟长度、宽度等性质有关 方勉强跳跃了

倒是E选项 如果把顺序理顺了来看

我觉得D除了逻辑意思不符合原意外，句子本身没有什么错误 倒是比较迷惑的选项

请问这里E的倒装怎么还原?

D在文法上雖然沒有錯誤～但在邏輯上明顯不合理,與原句所要表達的意思不同.

which究竟有沒有歧異，要看前面的句子而定，在B中有river和united states兩個名詞,依據which

就近指代的基本原則，加上which後面動詞用is,會讓人覺得是指united states.

句子還原變成:many cities in the united states no longer have a river....,but in San antonio..

qwedcxzas

不好意思啊~~~在请教一下

No longer do many cities in the united states have a river…,

的倒装还原成

many cities in the united states no longer have a river....,but in San antonio..

这样有倒装到吗? 不过是把no longer提到句首啊

我一开始以为a river是主语所以一开始就用主谓不一致把正确答案去掉了

另外
        do在这里是什么成分呢

有没有人可以指点一下啊

快要考试了

do是强调，no longer开头需要部分倒装，详情请见白勇P10，否定性词或短语位于句首时，引起部分倒装：never;no longer;rarely;hardly;few;little;not until

qwed这句倒装没有错，racing的还原是对的。你别着急，考试中考倒装的很少，我看过这么多题也就这么一道。

我今天又看了一遍，好像and the river是和but后面的the river平行的，那么仅仅是两个分句的并列，为什么and前面有逗号呢？？

正确选项+原文如下：

No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life , but in San Antonio the river winds through the middle of the business district, and the River, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular.

我也遇到过类似的逗号问题

Developed by Pennsylvania's Palatine Germans about 1750, Conestoga wagons had high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie , and a floor that was curved upward at both ends to prevent cargo from shifting on steep grades.

尽管是两个并列的句子用and连接一般不用逗号连接，但是他们的“接点”是两个名词的时候 需要加逗号来避免歧义（and有可能连接这两个名词而非句子） 这是我个人的理解 目前还没遇到反例 请帮忙佐证。

终于翻到了新东方的老师讲义（那个坚持不肯透露自己姓名的语法老师），当两个主句平行，可以SVO,and SVO 从句不可以。再加上楼上说的，and前面有名词的时候，这个语法点应该全面了~~
