请教两道OG语法题!

alljobest

1. In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been to sell, and they are.

a. have been priced to sell, and they are

b. are priced to sell, and they have

c. are priced to sell, and they do

d. are being priced to sell, and have

e. had been priced to sell, and they have

选c   我弄不明白的是,为什么划线句的后半部分的动词一定指代的sell? 这句话到底怎么理解呢?

2. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflecting growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

a. that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come

b. in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something many had feared in the year, and instead to come

选a   为什么b不对呢?

谢谢各位大牛!

 麻烦大家帮我看看这两道题拉！谢谢！

imharper

第一个,THEY指代酒,并列或者从句中对之前重复的动作都可以用DO(不能省略), 对重复的事情/人要补出BE动词(可以省略)

第2个,in the economy's ability to 是罗缩的写法,不简洁.一般用ABLE TO取代.这里虽然没这个选项,但是A的WILL也可以很好的表达这意思,同时A的同位语修饰也是很好的结构,相比B

imharper

补充下,在代词指代时,如果前面有2个对应单复数的名词可以指代时,选择最近的指代(逻辑意思差很远的除外,一般仅考虑逻辑意思上比较接近容易混淆的)

但是酒被卖难道不该用被动么？

cl725

1. In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been to sell, and they are.

第1,酒是被卖,所以用被动,没问题吧~

第2,意大利那个什么人减价,动作已经发生,用的完成时,所以后面的酒降价出售就要用一般现在时,好象是动词时态的一个变化~前一个动作发生在后一个动作之前~要把这个先后顺序表现出来~

第3,如果用they are, they 可能指代不清,不清楚是酒还是人, 根据这里的意思，很明显动作的发出者是人，所以是they do, they就指代了人~

cl725

第2题,插入语something后面要跟that,

而且从句这里优于短语~理由有2

in the economy's ability to 有点罗嗦

will do 表示将来的一个情况~

而说ability只是说有能力却未必发生，在英语里，2者的表达意思不一样~如果根据逻辑加上语法的话，第1个优于第2个~

以下是引用alljobest在2009-6-2 0:40:00的发言：

1. In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been to sell, and they are.

a. have been priced to sell, and they are

b. are priced to sell, and they have

c. are priced to sell, and they do

d. are being priced to sell, and have

e. had been priced to sell, and they have

第一步：看完原文，其他选项至少有一半以上的机会和原文意合

句意的整体是说为了降低库存，意大利的V降低了价钱；（划线部分多了一个wines吧？）酒被卖出，而且他们怎么地了

扫一眼发现5个选项都是一个逗号加and的结构

只有一个解释合乎句意，那就是它们被降价卖，而且卖出去了

看AE就不是好东西，好好的用什么have和had，杀

D and后面直接加have，明显残疾

BC只有一处区别，就是用哪个动词

参照AE淘汰过程，选C

选c   我弄不明白的是,为什么划线句的后半部分的动词一定指代的sell? 这句话到底怎么理解呢?

2. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflecting growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

a. that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come

b. in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something many had feared in the year, and instead to come

首先，题干抄错了吧？soft landing的逗号在unquote之外吧？

整体句意是说股市上涨反映了信心，然后划线

A读着凑合

B的's读着就开始不爽了，突然发现另外一个大问题，the gains这句和something俩句子之间什么连接词都没有，明显残疾

干掉

选A

选a   为什么b不对呢?

谢谢各位大牛!
