how about this one?

A recently discovered substance from the plant, 50 times sweeter than surose, is not only-------

the phrase--"from the plant "-- clings to "substance" in sense of logic;  "50 times sweeter than surose" 跳跃修饰"subtance", a case wittnessed in many ogs.

13.   By law, a qualified physician can only prescribe medicine, protecting the public.

(A) By law, a qualified physician can only prescribe medicine, protecting the public.

(B) By law, only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine, protecting the public.

(C) By law, only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine which protects the public.

(D) In order to protect the public, by law a qualified physician only can prescribe medicine.

(E) In order to protect the public, by law only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine.

  

答案是E。问to protect 的主语不是要和主句的主语一致吗？如果是的话，怎么感觉跟physician 连不上呀？

  

我坚信，只有B是正确的。

本题的答案值得商榷（因为给的答案未必标准，毕竟不是ets给的）：

（1）    原文中，用的是protecting the pubic.在此只能是结果壮语。而答案E将结果状语改为目的状语，更改了原意。

（2）         答案E有歧义。by law only可以理解为，只有按照法律规定。E可以有如下两种翻译

（a）    为了保护公众，法律规定只有有资格的人才能开药(by law ,only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine.)。

（b）         为了保护公众，仅仅按照法律，有资格的人能开药（by law only ,a qualified physician can prescribe medicine.似乎是说，还有不按法律也有有资格的开药的人）。

所以，我觉得，B更好些。

以下是引用lingling2005在2005-3-15 5:50:00的发言：

about 15, I have one question. We allow "跳跃修饰". So for C, I can say that , "which was recently" 跳跃修饰 a substance. for D, I can say that, "which ..." 跳跃修饰 a substance. Is there any rule about 跳跃修饰? How far can the modifier clause be?

跳跃修饰, 我觉得除非是A of B 结构中跳跃修饰A, 或者跳跃修饰主句中的主语, 其他的应该是不可以的, 不然就乱了.

这里a substance  from the licorice plant, 就不能跳跃修饰substance 而是优先修饰plant...

继续讨论!

按照OG114的说法，15题的D项也应该是正确选项。

15题和114不同,a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry...

在which之前, 除了插入语small ribs and rails of cedar之外就没有别的更符合的修饰主语; 而这里(D) A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose , which was recently discovered... a substance后面还有the licorice plant, 这是which就只能就近修饰plant了...

继续讨论...

bryony对伴随状语的理解透彻，容我仰视一番．一定要动作发生，才能有伴随动作或结果．一个状态是不能产生伴随动作和结果的，对吗？ETS真狡猾．　因为OG上所有的伴随意思都被正确选项保留了．

这种理解虽然有点道理, 可是这样会不会太牵强了? 有哪位NN可以解释得更清楚一点, ETS真的有这种偏好吗? 特别是在考场做题的时候能体会这么细致的差别吗? 还是平时做题就要养成这种细致的习惯?

还有啊, 为什么那么多帖子都被删了呢? 害我们都看不到前NN讨论的精髓!

可能是系动词的缘故，我从New York Times 找到一个类似的句子

http://proof.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/12/country-vodka-and-sour-cream/?scp=7&sq=is%20not%20only&st=cse

The historian William Pokhlebkin, in his “A History of Vodka,” an amusingly thorough account of Russia’s love affair with “the little water,” writes: “The clumsy prohibitionist measures taken against vodka were not only ineffective … but contributed to the disruption of state finances.”
