北美二战娘子军

许仙

我来报到，今天收到了AWA,5.5，唉，可是总分真是垃圾。分给总分一点该多好！弄得心情也高兴不起来。

家里一个亲戚突然去世，上个月我还在MSN上跟她聊天，因为考试心里烦，没多聊，我还说考完试了，好好聊聊，太郁闷了。搞得到现在也无心看书。

其实上次那分数，凑和也能申请学校的，我干吗这么折腾自已呀

今天收到RSM的unconditional offer，谢谢大家。

心得，一定要好好考Ｇ，我本科的ＧＰＡ很低一直以为会被拒，没想到Ｇ出来没几天就给我offer了。

恭喜lena,终于心想事成

祝英台

仙，还是要恭喜你的作文的！

yxy要想开一点啊

Lena，恭喜你啦！接下来就可以轻松的happy啦

能帮我再看看122-123的那几道语法吗，还是不太明白，多谢拉

15. In his research paper, Dr. Frosh, medical director of the Payne Whitney Clinic, distinguishes mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis.

(A) mood swings, which may be violent without their being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(B) mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis,

(C) between mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(D) between mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis

(E) genuine manic-depressive psychosis and mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease

答案C，请问B中的形容词短语修饰swing为什么没有which修饰好呢。

OG的解释是：perhaps viloent...is awkward and unclear.不太明白？

形容词修饰最好是紧跟所修饰的词。如果作插入语，一般出现句尾作独立主格，出现在句子中间不太好。

which引导的从句可以独立在主句之外，作为插入部分出现。

50. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about 20/500. or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.
    

(A)
   As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind if
    it were an adult with such vision.
    

(B)
   A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind as an adult
    

(C)
    As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would be rated about 20/500; qualifying it to be legally blind if an adult

(D)
   A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500; an adult with such vision would be deemed legally blind.
    

(E)
   As a baby emerges from the darkness of the
    womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would deemed legally blind for an adult, would be rated about 20/500

答案D

B中的or legally blind as an adult 怎么不对了？

E有什么问题啊？感觉挺通的啊。但是OG的解释是：Subordinate clasue begining with which is awkward and ambiguous.

把Ｂ翻成中文就知道哪里错了。原文的意思是最初的视力，如果成人有这样的视力可以认为是盲人。而Ｂ的意思是，或者法定意义的盲人作为成人。

E中的which指代的是vision，vision(视力）可以说是瞎的吗?只有人或者眼睛是瞎的，不可以说视力是瞎的吧？

85. Out of America's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.
    

(A)
   things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing
    

(B)
    things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing
    

答案B，这是不是说明that 引导限制性定于从句也可以不是就近指代啊，崩溃了

这题考倒装句你知道吧？这里的that的确没有就近指代，指的是a market，也就是句子的主语。因为for bygone...这里是介词结构的定语作用。that可以指代A of B中的A或者Ｂ，其实说穿了还是要看后面的句子的意思来判断。你考虑一下是什么东西bring back了后面的那些复古的家俱？

如果是就近指代，就变成家俱bring back了复古家俱，逻辑不对。

英台你问的几题其实都是逻辑关系的题。还要先读清句子的意思，就不会错了。（多看难句，多背单词）

233. Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and have raised production efficiency in various industries.
   

(A) fatigue among shift workers, and have raised
   

(B) fatigue among shift workers, and raised
   

(C)
    and fatigue among shift workers while raising
      

(D) lowered fatigue among shift workers, and raised

(E) and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising

答案是C，没有问题。

关于D，OG的解释是：inserting lowered before fatigue illogiacally suggests that fatigue actually increasd. 明明是low，怎么又increase了阿

lowered cost的意思是被降下的成本。

lowered是形容词。说明之前是高的，后来被降下来了。（表示一种状态，没有动作的感觉。有跟之前状态比较的感觉）

ＳＣ碰到难句子先翻译出来看看，就知道错哪了。
