牛牛帮忙分析下~~~OG紫34题答案解析

8. Lacking information about energy use, people tend to overestimate the amount of energy used by equipment, such as lights, that are visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate that used by unobtrusive equipment, such as water heaters.
(A) equipment, such as lights, that are visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate that
(B) equipment, such as lights, that are visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate it when
(C) equipment, such as lights, that is visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate it when
(D) visible equipment, such as lights, that must be turned on and off and underestimate that
(E) visible equipment, such as lights, that must be turned on and off and underestimate it when

答案选D没问题，双平行也明白。

但是新版OG11解析说：A,that are visible is not parallel to unobtrusive
                                      B,C,E中such as lights is not parallel to unobtrusive

ETS是怎么思考的？他们为什么会认为A中谓语为are就想到that are visible与unobtusive比较?        B.C.E中将that的定从改为状从就想到是such as lights 与unobtusive比较，而不是visible与unobtusive比较？

visible equipment 比equipment that visible 要简洁啊
其次，D很平行，overestimate the amount of 与underestimate that对称
that指代amount
多完美啊~

by visible equipment----by unobstrusive equipment

谢谢楼上2位，第一个问题明白。clause not parallel to adj

但第二个问题仍然迷糊。

我将错误选项E带入原句，这样分析时思路能清晰些

 Lacking information about energy use, people tend to overestimate the amount of energy used by
        visible equipment, such as lights, that must be turned on and off and underestimate it when used by
        unobtrusive equipment, such as water heaters.

很清楚能看出红色字平行错误，蓝色字平行

但是ETS居然会想出，插入语such as lights（粉红色字体）与unobtrusive平行？？  难道是ETS分析错误？

我只是想学习ETS分析题的思路~~~~不要怪我太钻牛角尖呵。。。。。请牛牛指点~~~！！！

我想請教一下
that可以當代名詞指代名詞嗎?

thanks!

同问！XDF老师说，that these 不可单独使用。请NN解释一下

qddxzhaowencon

PREP语法上也写的是that只能指代核心词，在这里能指代the amount of energy 这个完整的phrase吗？

无人问津…自己顶一下

同问！that可以单独放在这里吗？

哈哈 有点钻牛角尖了。。我也不明白ETS为神马这么想。。我觉得这题不用开比选项也能做出来的。。


首先把整句读完，不管语法错误，根据句子提取出原句要表达的逻辑语义。读完很快发现tend to overestimate... and underestimate...是很明显的一个平行，并且同时发现underestimate that 后面不划线的部分说by unobtrusive equipment, such as water heaters.. 那么看划线部分的used by equipment, such as lights, that are visible显然不好，这时不看任何一个选项也应该在脑子里构造出used by visible equipment, such as lights。。既然这里重整结构后剩下的是must be turned on and off，必然是修饰lights的。。所以，在过完句子的15秒钟-30秒内脑子里会出现：overestimate the amount of energy used by visible equipment, such as lights,  that must be turned on and off and underestimate that used by unobtrusive equipment, such as water heaters.


这时看选项有没有和脑子里出现的句子很像的，那么就选D。。。




再说其他问题，that这里是可以指代the amount of energy的。。这里的核心词就是这个呀，不是说核心词只能是单个名词的。
