从GWD1－2再谈from...to顺序的问题

laipiyu

今天看到大家讨论GWD的1－2的语法帖子，想再和大家谈谈这个from...to..的问题。

（1）一般情况下大家看到的都是from...to..的顺序，但是有时涉及到与动词搭配的问题，from和to的顺序是可以改变的。

大家看下面这个例子：

The top marginal federal tax rates would effectively increase to 50.3% from 37.9%, equivalent to repealing the Bush income tax cuts almost three times over。

为了使to和increase搭配，这里的顺序改变了，但却是允许的。

（2）在讨论GWD1－2时，关于E选项，大家还提到了另外一个问题就是its share of the country’s $21 billion book market是不是双重所有格问题。双重所有格指的是its share of the country’s，没有后面的名词时叫做双重所有格。所以E选项没有涉及双重所有格问题。

为了更进一步说明，大家看一下OG28题红色部分，其实还有很多题目都使用了这样的结构。

28. The rise in the Commerce Department's index of leading economic indicators suggest that the economy
should continue its expansion into the coming months. but that
                the mixed performance of the index's individual
components indicates that economic growth will proceed at a more moderate pace than in the first
quarter of this year.
(A) suggest that the economy should continue its expansion into the coming months, but that
(B) suggest that the economy is to continue expansion in the coming months, but
(C) suggests that the economy will continue its expanding in the coming months, but that
(D) suggests that the economy is continuing to expand into the coming months, but that
(E) suggests that the economy will continue to expand in the coming months, but

综上所述，GWD1－2的答案是E。希望哪些对之前讨论感到困惑的XDJM能够感到有帮助。

为方便后来人，把GWD1－2贴在2楼：

GWD1-Q2:

By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

A.    their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging

B.    from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

C.    to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging

D.    in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges

      E.  to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges

我也倾向选E。但是排除B的依据，主要是which修饰有歧义来判断的。而TN-24的答案中，此题选B？

cslinjun

我觉得B中的which没有歧义啊,强制指代book market.

不知道B还是E...

有一事不解。

D选项为什么不是正确答案？是否可以按如下顺序分析这道题的考点.

1、主谓一致，排除AC。

2、from to 结构，排除CE。

3、习惯用法，排除B。company 本身是不能increase的，应该是increase in sth。

初学者一点浅见，请勿见笑。

顶楼主，我也同意是E，这两天开始第二次做GWD，看到这题还是毅然决然选E，我总举得B的which就是考点，明显指代有问题。

当然我也觉得to……from……很不爽，现在看到此贴，释然了……
