对啊。唉，最近脑袋是在转不过来。

大家帮忙看道语法题，我觉得D也对啊。

1. GWD-18-Q1

The Arthritis Research Institute of America advises women of color that they have twice the likelihood to get osteoarthritis of the knee as do White women.

      A.    that they have twice the likelihood to get osteoarthritis of the knee as do White women

B.    that they are twice as likely as White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee

C.    that their likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee is twice as much as White women

D.    of being twice as likely as White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee

E.     of having twice the likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee as White women

D为啥错呢。

3 [transitive] formal to tell someone about something
  

advise somebody of something

难道是后面必须加名词？

advise (sb.) to do

advise (sb.) that...

还有，这道题答案究竟选什么，我看说E和A的都有。貌似以前给的答案是A现在给的答案是E。

When an active tooth in the shark’s jaws is lost or worn down, many spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless reserve, each of which are ready to slide into the appropriate position.

1. When an active tooth in the shark’s jaws is lost or worn down, many spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless reserve, each of which are ready to slide into the appropriate position.
2. Whenever an active tooth is lost or worn down, many spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless reserve in the shark’s jaws, which are each ready to slide into the appropriate position.
3. Many spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless reserve in the shark’s jaws, each one of which are ready to slide into the appropriate position when an active tooth is lost or worn down.
4. The many spare teeth lying in seemingly limitless reserve in the shark’s jaws, each one of which is ready to slide into the appropriate position whenever an active tooth is lost or worn down.
5. In the shark’s jaws, many spare teeth lie in seemingly limitless reserve, each one ready to slide into the appropriate position whenever an active tooth is lost or worn down

我做的时候选的A。不过觉得E也对。

A中each of which后面应该加单数还是复数啊？

E的话我觉得有点偏离原文的意思。我总觉得原文的逻辑意思是说如果一个活动牙齿掉了或者坏了的话，其他牙齿会跟着遭殃。强调一个假设下的情况。而E的意思重点描述在其他牙齿的一个状态。

我看了一下，我会选E

其他选项的which就近修饰都有歧义

还有这道题，究竟选啥。我选的c，但是答案给的是A。但是翻以前的讨论贴又说以前给的答案是A错C对。后来看讨论也没看个结果来。

大家选什么啊？

  

Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.

1. Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.
     
2. Over the course of the eighteenth century a tripling in the average output of ironwork was due to the replacement of charcoal by coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, in addition to several improvements in blowing machinery.
     
3. With charcoal’s being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.
     
4. The replacement of charcoal with coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.
     
5. Charcoal being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, and several improvements in blowing machinery, which tripled the average output of ironwork over the course of the eighteenth century.

我觉得是A。

C比较奇怪：

- charcoal's 无生命n.通常不用's

- being 表示正在，可文章没有表示正在进行

- 在这里有一个因果结构，用with表示伴随，无法体现因果关系

这题我当时选的是A,后来看讨论贴一长串也没有定论就放下了.
我对待GWD里面这种争议题的策略就是放着不看
想想GMAC也会知道里面的问题,不会再出了吧

lazzycat_wxh

发现分析gwd很费时间。不过也颇有收获。虽然只做了一套。

In 2000, a mere two dozen products accounted for half the increase in spending on prescription drugs, a phenomenon that is explained not just because of more expensive drugs but by the fact that doctors are writing many more prescriptions for higher-cost drugs.

1. a phenomenon that is explained not just because of more expensive drugs but by the fact that doctors are writing
           
2. a phenomenon that is explained not just by the fact that drugs are becoming more expensive but also by the fact that doctors are writing
           
3. a phenomenon occurring not just because of drugs that are becoming more expensive but because of doctors having also written
           
4. which occurred not just because drugs are becoming more expensive but doctors are also writing
           
5. which occurred not just because of more expensive drugs but because doctors have also written

这个C为什么错误啊？还有b是个正确的独立主格结构吗？我自己觉得把B简化一下就是，

In 2000, a mere two dozen products accounted for half the increase in spending on prescription drugs, a phenomenon。后面的内容是修饰现象的吧？

lazzycat_wxh

C我知道为什么错了。

但是B的结构我想不通，大家给指点下。

lazzycat_wxh

知道了，B后面是同位语。

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

 

1. and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,

2. and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that

3. her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that

4. lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,

5. so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

  

这题考了so…that…的固定搭配，这就可以排除A,B,D三个破坏或是缺损这一搭配的选项，再考虑C E。 E中的So + adj. + be + n., （and） so adj. (be) n., that ....结构是完美的平行，而C中her….persistent成分没有体现平行对称，故E为正确答案。

kathy8446

原文虽然多个and，不过至少证明前两部分是并列关系，不是独立主格——排除C。"So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry, and so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that she was first recruited by Gov. Al Smith, and later by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, to work within New York
                State government, rather than against it. "

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

按照上面的解释，这个答案E明显前面缺少了一个and

我之所以最后选了C，就是因为E没有and

破题！
