Q13:

Although she had been known as an effective legislator first in the Texas Senate and later in the United States House of Representatives, not until Barbara Jordan’s participation in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon in 1974 was she made a nationally recognized figure, as it was televised nationwide.

 

1. later in the United States House of Representatives, not until Barbara Jordan’s participation in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon in 1974 was she made a nationally recognized figure, as it was

2. later in the United States House of Representatives, Barbara Jordan did not become a nationally recognized figure until 1974, when she participated in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, which were

3. later in the Untied States House of Representatives, it was not until 1974 that Barbara Jordan became a nationally recognized figure, with her participation in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, which was

4. then also later in the United States House of Representatives, not until 1974 did Barbara Jordan become a nationally recognized figure, as she participated in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, being

5. then also later in the United States House of Representatives, Barbara Jordan did not become a nationally recognized figure until 1974, when she participated in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, which was

答案是B,我选的C.

B的which后面若是为were，则是指代the hearings，感觉有问题啊，不是说which只能指代最近的那个能指的东东么？很明显指代President Richard Nixon就不能接were啊？？？谁能给我解释哈？？？谢拉

刚好我昨天作完这题。

我也觉得这题不甚完美，与以前的which使用原则相悖；

1. when she participated in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, which were 中 which 犹豫不能修饰人，而且which前面的最近的名词结构是个A of B结构  重心在A impeachment 所以我起初觉得which 可能修饰impeachment,

2.后来仔细想了想，on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon，是个介宾结构，是不是可以跨越介宾短语修饰前面的名词，就开始找PREP有没有类似的例子。

这是prep2  29. 

 

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 Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular attraction.

 

(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 Antonio 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

选项B错误，Prep笔记给的解释就是， which 指代了unite states. 说明介宾短语本身不能影响which的指代

3.我要说的最重要一点在此

根据GWD27-Q13 中的例子，我上面的例子中，如果which 后的动词是 are.那么此题B就对了

也就是说which并不一定严格意义上只能修饰紧挨着的名词，

如果which后面的动词能够在逻辑上帮助which明确所指代对象，仅仅隔一个介宾结构也是可以的。

以上仅仅我是我猜测，也是没办法的办法，仅供参考。

通常我还是会把进挨which的名词  指代是否合乎逻辑作为一条判断标准。
