新PREP2：177 正确答案也有小问题？

177.          (T-4-Q12)
                    逻辑含义/

 

 

For the farmer who takes care to keep them
                cool, providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each
                per year.

A. providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing

B. providing them with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces

C. provided with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing

D. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces

E. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce

 

 

我的问题：

Each 不是说明主语应该用单数吗？

通过逻辑含义直接排除A,B,C，剩下D,E。

因为原句中，没划线的部分是： an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each
                    per year.

我看到这里有 each，应该是说 每头牛 每年 平均产奶2275 gallons，所以觉得主语应该是单数啊？

就选了D的：the Holstein cow produces

（我知道E的 Holstein cows will produce 符合前面的For the farmer who takes care to keep them
                        cool,）

但这里问什么后面 用 了each ，主语却用 复数呢？不是应该与后面的 each 保持一致吗？

So, A should say "providing them with high energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing " This makes a list out of "to keep," "providing," and "milking" which is a list, but it fails the parallelism test. Also, the verb tense "are producing" is wrong - if the farmer takes care of them, they will respond a certain way. Eliminate A. (Note that I added a comma missing from the original text, above.)

B also has parallelism issues (providing, milked), as does C (provided and milking). D and E have parallelism with provided and milked, but they still don't match "to keep." And this is where this one gets really hard. Most people will want to keep this as a list of three things, with those three words properly parallel - and that would be a good way to write the sentence, but they haven't given us that option.

If we lopped off that opening clause, we'd have "Provided with high energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows..." That's okay. Then they add this separate clause out front (the "For the farmer" bit) and this is what makes it sound bad b/c we want to combine that opening clause with the provided and milked piece. Since we don't have that as an option, we're forced to look at them as separate items (though we do still want parallelism between provided and milked).

Then, we're just left with "produces" vs. "will produce" since D and E both use provided and milked. The sentence begins "For the farmer who takes care to keep THEM cool" so we have to use plural for the cows. Answer D uses singular, so E is the answer.

E. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein
                cows
                will produce an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each
                per year.

E的主语：是 cows，是复数，

因此疑问：each为什么可以搭配复数主语 cows。。。

each 一般都是搭配单数形式的主语吧？

an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each
            per year.

这句话的意思不就是说： 每头牛 每年 平均产奶2275 gallons ？

如果 each 修饰 per year，那不是 含义重复了吗？

each：每一。。。

per：每一。。。；

请指点，谢谢！

each 在这里是副词  ， we  each are , each of us is.

per加单位是固定搭配不合其他词发生修饰关系

milk在说压榨的时候是及物动词 从母牛挤奶为不及物，所以e正确

另外will说的是一种客观趋势 be doing是主观的 而且有时态分歧

something happened，something will happen
