A。when it is known that humans made

B。at which it is known that humans had made

C。at which humans are known to have made

这道题关键还是要理解句子的逻辑了。

首先能确认的是句子主语为Holstein cows。然后我们要分别理解For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool的成分，与后面那个插入成分的修饰对象。

整句的结构应该是Holstein cows ... produce ... for the farmer. 介词短语表produce的对象。只是在这个题目里把这部分往前提到句首了而已。

再看后面的provide .. and milk ...可能是什么成分。在我看来有可能为两个作用：

1）作为who引导定语从句的一部分修饰the farmer，因此与to keep them cool应该并列。
在这种情况下，正确的句子应该是:
For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, provide them with high-energy feed, and milk them regularly, Holstein cows are producing an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year. 但是这个形式在选项中没有出现。

2）与for引导的介词短语没有关系，本身用于修饰主语Holstein cows表虚拟语气。整体主干就是： provided ..., Holstein cows will produce ...完整形式就是if they were provided ..., Holstein cows will produce ....。对应的是正确的E选项。

Unlike mainstream American businesses, more than half of which fail, the failure rate for businesses in the Amish community hovers around 5 percent.

Unlike mainstream American businesses, more than half of which fail

Unlike mainstream American businesses, in which the failure rate is more than half

Unlike mainstream American businesses, where more than half of them fail

While the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is more than half

While more than half of mainstream American businesses fail

正答E，求问D怎么错了~~我一看到后面那半句的主语是RATE，就挑了D了。。。虽然后来看答案觉得E也很对。。。但还是不明白为什么D错了

-- by 会员 裴小臻grace (2010/4/8 21:26:56)

在我看来，D的问题在于the rate of mainstream American businesses failing这种表达方式是wordy的。fail的动词形式是fail，名词形式是failure。因此failing让人感觉是分词，而这种of后面跟主谓结构的句子结构在GMAT可以认为是必错的。

另外，记得语法笔记上有解释过，while引导的从句结构是不需要考虑平行和主语一致的，即while从句里的主语与句子主语可以不一致。记得这点以后不要这么排除就可以了。

这道题我反正也做错了。没看到什么完整的解释。我找到的最可能的原因就是and与in addition to是不能互换的，因为会导致连接的前后两个名词的地位不同。

我当时做错的主要原因是认为to win是一种错误的表达方式，因为这里不需要表达动作目的的含义。那位nn帮忙引经据典解释一下？

啊~~谢谢~~~解释得很好~~我还是考虑的情况太少了

A。when it is known that humans made

B。at which it is known that humans had made

C。at which humans are known to have made

D。that humans are known to be making

E。of humans who were known to make



1.When倾向于表示某个特定时间点, at which表现的是一个period,(参见某个冰山移动类型的SC题),所以用at which更优.
2.A和B的it指代什么呢,会出现指代不清吧?(反正我是这么做出C的,结果GWD给的答案是A......)
