两道所谓真题，such as...

and also在prep里面有多处都是以错误选项出现，大家用and also为关键字查一下prep sc就知道了。

A中critique和vision都是属于抽象名词，词性平行

反观B中critique和envisioning，在平行为王的的gmat语法中显得来路不正。

本来被说的想改选B，仔细一想还是A好些

16. The ninetheenth-century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early expreiments in his "Essay on Heat and Light", a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.

A. a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a

B. a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle and also his envisioning of a

我支持A的.

B,暂且不论his envisioning是不是错误,这里 his envisioning 和谁平行都是问题.我就是依照这个排除B的.

 其一:  a critique of (all chemistry following Robert Boyle and also
            his envisioning of a)

其二:   (a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle )and also( his envisioning of a)

his envisioing可能和critique,也可能和 all chemistry平行.

(典型的 A OF B AND C结构嘛!)

而A,却用as well as 成功地避免了这个问题, 因为我们都知道, as well as 不是表平行,as well as 以后的东西起前面内容的补充说明,其地位本身比前面内容低一点,不是平行并列关系而是补充关系.因为不能当and用,所以 A OF (B as well as C)就是错的,只能理解成 A OF B, as well as C这种意思.

另外his的指代我倒是觉得不是什么问题,指代HD完全说的通.

sch

顺便说一句,since+n没有错.since既可以当连词也可以当介词吧. since + n经常出现啊.没啥问题

以下是引用mariezhu在2004-4-22 15:40:00的发言：

第一题一位老外学生指出B的一点根本错误，我认为很有道理，大家请看过来：

B is incorrect: HIS envisioning of a chemisty that DAVY hoped to find

用动词found是指建立，这里不是find寻找的意思。所以用found没错吧

16. The ninetheenth-century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early expreiments in his "Essay on Heat and Light", a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.

A. a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a

B. a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle and also his envisioning of a

C. a critique of all chemistry after Robert Boyle and envisioning as wess

D. critiquing all chemistry from Rober Boyle forward and also a vision of

E. critiquing all the chemistry done since Robert Boyle as well as his own envisioning of

答案应该是A

A当中：a critique 和a vison 平行对称，与前面的论文形成同位，正确使用since,

B 当中，a critique和his envisioning 不对称。 而且envisioning 的含义和vision是同义。envisioning是衍生词，违反简洁性原则。

16题新prep已经给出答案是A了。

正确答案是A的。
切不论说平行问题，难道没人认为B中的HIS指代模糊么。
