理解能力比较差

１.你已经知道了which可以指代不同的东西，所以也知道用which会产生歧意了喽。就算它就近指代了$111，逻辑含意也是不对的。变成$111和后面的income在比较。也许你想不通，不是蛮正常的嘛，一个是钱，一个是income。但是其实是不对等的，一个是钱，一个是收入，你能说钱就等于收入吗？

看个例句比较一下你就懂了。

Thomas Eakins's powerful style and his choices of subject--the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves--was as disturbing to his own time as it is compelling for ours.

(A) was as disturbing to his own time as it is
                

(B) were as disturbing to his own time as they are

(C) has been as disturbing in his own time as they are

(D) had been as disturbing in his own time as it was

(E) have been as disturbing in his own time as
   

为什么这里用的是they而不是those，应该这句话说的是ＴＥ的贡献在他的时代跟我们的时代在作比较。比较的东西是明确的一模一样东西，只是时代不同。所以可以用it或者they。

而为什么你那句话里只能用that来指income，因为用了it就表示是Ｂ国的income，比较就是Ｂ国的income和在别的贫穷国家的Ｂ国income。

that和those可以指代中心词income，前面的东西可以省。

it和they就精确的指代。就是很明确地告诉你是哪个东西，而不是泛指的income。这样你的明白？

彻底明白了，送上鲜花朵朵

OG11th-105  又一个which的指代题

105. Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, is finding uses in medicine, archaeology, and criminology.

(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, having the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, a technique called proton induced x-ray emission

(C) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(D) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced x-ray emission, which has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying it,

(E) A technique that was originally developed for detecting air pollutants and has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying the substance, called proton-induced x-ray emission,         答案是A

OG说A,which refers to a technique;          C, which refers to emission
A. Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze ...

C. A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze ...。

从逻辑意思上应该可以判断出来，但是从语法上讲C 中called前的逗号是不是决定作用呢？

2.如果不补that就变成income和国家比较，比较对象不对等。

那我们把that省略掉或者说把income省略掉，为什么就变成income和国家比较了啊？ 这个还是有点想不通

A 中 lower than (income) in the most impoverished contries.       我把income 当作省略不可以吗

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

            

Yorco and Zortech are two corporations that employ large numbers of full-time workers who are paid by the hour.  Publicly available records indicate that Yorco employs roughly the same number of such hourly wage workers as Zortech does but spends a far higher total sum per year on wages for such workers.  Therefore, hourly wages must be higher, on average, at Yorco than at Zortech, since _____.

            

A.     Zortech spends a higher total sum per year than Yorco does to provide its hourly wage workers with benefits other than wages

B.     the work performed by hourly wage workers at Zortech does not
        require a significantly higher level of skill than the work performed by hourly wage
        workers at Yorco does

C.     the proportion of all company employees who are hourly wage workers is significantly greater at Yorco than it is at Zortech
            

D.    overtime work, which is paid at a substantially higher rate than work done during the regular work week, is rare at both Yorco and Zortech
            

E.     the highest hourly wages paid at Yorco are higher than the highest hourly wages paid at Zortech

这题选D, 有问题,因为加班工资比平时高,但是加班在Y和Z都少,怎么能说明Y与Z工人一样多,但工资出的多的问题呢?所以我觉得B对,它符合逻辑过程呀:由于Y的高技术工人多,所以人均PAY的就高呀.请大家帮我看看吧,谢谢

 fixtures 不能带回沙发类的东西，只能是市场，还得看逻辑意思。跳跃修饰还分限定非限定吗，ETS没有绝对的东西存在
