In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor.
In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor. (A) in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics (B) in part for the acquisition of certain characteristics in their steers (C) partly because of their steers acquiring certain characteristics (D) partly because certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers (E) partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers
答案:E
partly because 不是应该对应partly because 平行的吗?为什么这题选E?答案认为D被动语态awkward,是不是说明简洁性比平行结构要重要?
问题2:请解释obtaining an investment-grade rating will keep the county's future borrowing costs low 和To obtain an investment-grade rating will keep the county's future borrowing costs low的区别。 不定式和VING做主语在GMAT中有什么区别

这道题目如果按GMAC一般的出题思路的话是完全要选D的, partly because和 partly because对应不说,而且certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers 与 crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor还一致。所以选择D是没错的,而且很符合GMAC一贯的SC出题思路。 不过这题他解释的时候说前面一句的被动语态有点awkward,但是没有说它错,所以这样用是对的,但是有点awkward,所以GMAC这点的解释就是说习惯上不这么用,而并不是说它是错的。 partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers 显然更加简洁明了,你可以比较一下把这个characteristics放前面然后后面用被动语态和原句的那个crossbreeding的后面的那个被动语态比较一下。是不是发现原文的那个crossbreeding的用的还是比较上口,但是把characteristics放前面后面再用被动语态是不是有点awkward呢? 虽然说D是完全符合GMAC的出题规律的,但是这题人家就是这样想我们怎恶魔着? 只好适应它。。 GMAC就喜欢考察你对句子的理解,比如是不是wordy啊,awkward之类的东西,所以还是那一句话,并不是因为它们是错的,而是嫌它罗嗦和不是习惯用法而已。 所以这一题并不需要去深究,考试中即使出现这样的题目也不会太多的,一题两题了不得了,再说了你也不一定选错啊不是么?
