GWD-9-1 或者 GWD-9-Q1 争议解决！又完结了一道题

nerakuhs

以下是引用candy_yue在2008-9-16 1:40:00的发言：
同问，为什么是a black american??? 三本书三个人写的，不是应该是 black americans么?

如果是black americans的话，变成了 每本书都是由多名作者完成的。用a black american则是说 每本书都是一个作者，分别是JT，RW， RW。

a novel by a black american 的复数是  novels by a black american。这样避免歧义。

OG11上有道题，是说平均多少人有自行车，也是用单数a bycicle，如果用bycicles，则会产生歧义，变成拥有不止一辆自行车，具体哪道题我忘记了，找找看~~

这个题我是这么想的。

1.破折号的意义就是解释说明。这里的破折号就是去说明three best novels 注意是three

2.按照我前面所有做过的including题，无一例外是remedies+逗号+including, approaches+逗号+including 这里including后面的内容就是remedies和approaches的全部内容。例如XXXremedies, including establishing XX, closingXX and reducing XX. 就是说remedies的所有内容是这三项。B选项如果是the others including XX and XX 就是对的。因为如果用了including就要说出three best novels的全部三个是什么，然而其中一个作品已经是主语，那么后面就应该是the others including而不是单独including.

3.A C D都错在前面说作品，后面the others改成说作者

4.至于是a black American 还是black Americans我觉得并不是重点 这个题的考点首先在于大家能不能意识到破折号后面是要说明谁 而且要注意主语是作品

如果用了black Americans---the others being XX&XX 那么前面的那个主语应该是作者 而不是作品 我认为这里的black Americans完全是来迷惑考生的 其实a black American 还是black Americans都无关紧要 因为主语已经是作品了 后面的the others必定是另外的作品 破折号后面也必定是来解释three best novels 和a balck American 还是black Americans无关

这道题的a black American用法很规范。

规则：多个事物的共同特征，此特征可用单数表法。

具体的构句方法是：复数主语＋复数谓语＋单数宾/表语。

本题中：novels（复数主语） written by（复数） a black American（单数）

OG10－167（OG11－V－59）

Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.

(A) Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes

(B) Neanderthals had a vocal tract resembling an ape’s（正确答案）

(C) The vocal tracts of Neanderthals resembled an ape’s

(D) The Neanderthal’s vocal tracts resembled the apes’（B）

(E) The vocal tracts of the Neanderthals resembled those of the apes

OG10－252（ 14.      (25197-!-item-!-188;#058&002294)）

Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.

(A) Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.（正确答案）

(B) Out of every four, three automobile owners in the United States also owns a bicycle.

(C) Bicycles are owned by three out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States.

(D) In the United States, three out of every four automobile owners owns bicycles.
   （A）考点：词组。多个事物的共同特征，此特征可用单数表法。本题表示“四个美国家庭就有三个各自拥有一辆自行车”，谓语单复数形式需根据主语three out of four automobile owners中的three决定用复数，如果是one out of four owners，谓语就要用单数。表示“每四个家庭共同拥有一辆自行车”的方法是：there is one bicycle for (every) four automobile owners.同理，is是根据one决定的，可变为there are three bicycles for…，根据three用复数。参见OG10-167(OG11-V-59)和OG10-89(D-22)。

(E) Out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States, bicycles are also owned by three.

虎虎和lcy的解释融合在一起就非常完美了。
