大全446，D错在哪里？

GloriaZeng

446.        It may be another fifteen years before spacecraft from Earth again venture to Mars, a planet now known to be cold, dry, and probably lifeless.

(A) again venture to Mars, a planet now known to be

(B) venture to Mars again, a planet now known for being

(C) will venture to Mars again, a planet now known as being

(D) venture again to Mars, a planet that is known now to be（A）

(E) will again venture to Mars, a planet known now as being

请问D是错在太罗嗦了，不够简洁吗？

还有again venture to Mars和venture again to Mars有什么区别？

谢谢

lz纠结在A和D吧

记住，GMAT的语法答案是比出来的。在这里，D的that is就明显比A啰嗦。一般，先行词和定语从句靠的近，that is省略为宜。你可以看一下BY或PREP的详解，上面举例了一些redundant的结构。比如 n. + that is adj.就不如adj. + n.来的好。而分词结构的后置定语要比从句来的简洁。但这些规律只能算有效性，不能一上来就用来排除选项。

另外，now known to be这个now所在的位置一般大家都这么说啊，我是从来没看到过known now to be这个顺序。

venture again和again venture这个细微的区别，我也说不大清楚。副词修饰也属于有效性的问题。

分析得太详尽了!佩服您对语法的深入了解和细致程度～～～！！！

同意楼上，D罗嗦。 注意省略结构是在不改变句子原意和没有歧义的情况下。

His studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present-day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas.

(A) in which great ice sheets had existed in [bgcolor=#ffed43]now currently temperate areas

(B) in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas

(C) when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate

(D) when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas

(E) when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate

找到两题涉及now这个词的修饰问题,  查了下字典, now只有副词含义.  所以在第一题的B中没有修饰问题, 只能修饰后面的动词.. 因此分词的结构要比从句结构更好..

下面那题的now也是一样, E中的now修饰existed,偏离了逻辑.

整理这个知识点..顺便回下贴..方便后人..
