请教道语法JJ 3(真题)

1     Researchers hypothesize that granitic soil is the ideal construction material for the desert tortoise because it is not so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause tunnels to collapse.



B hard enough to make burrowing difficult or soft enough as to cause
C    so hard as to make burrowing difficult or soft enough so it causes
D as hard as to make burrowing difficult or as soft as to cause
E too hard, making burrowing difficult, nor too soft, so as to cause



答案是A, 我选D, 为什么A比D好?

dreadpower

         选A：虽然A中的it读的很不爽


         但是其他都错：B不平行，C不平行，Das...as意思错了，E不平行

weiyu

    

I choose D; because of the parallelism and eliminate the “it” which has no reference. fficeffice" />

Following examples are extracted from GRE/GMAT/LSAT RC

(A) are not as susceptible to deterioration as rocks

(E) They were generally not as educated as the people who remained in England

climate is not as direct as the relationship between climate and lake levels

以下是引用dreadpower在2004-3-15 10:48:00的发言：
         选A：虽然A中的it读的很不爽



         但是其他都错：B不平行，C不平行，Das...as意思错了，E不平行d

dreadpower的意思是说so that...的表示目的的意思没表达出来，对吗？

weiyu

可是不定式也可以表示目的呀？我当时考虑了意思的表达，请指教

tianwan

D. 虽然前后平行，但是not as/(so)...as是比较而不是表示结果，D中虽然to跟在as后, as hard as to是很荒谬的。


A. not 是否定整个so...that... ，而且前后平行。这个用法非常罕见。

dreadpower

         呵呵，我说的意思是as..as表示比较，肯定不能换为so。。。that


         就是tianwan说的意思，但是他说的清楚的多，抱歉


             TO：tianwan


                 前一阵看你说主要看了语法，阅读放弃了，现在调整过来了吗？


                    

weiyu

thx tianwan. I see. as..as只有比较或不是..而是; so as to; so that才有目的

ohayo

原来如此,明白了.

To dreadpower:


还是阅读速度上不去，现在作lsat逻辑题，总是不能42分钟内作完，错误率也很高，总是在5-8个之间徘徊。你说的active阅读法是怎么回事？
