opeman SC 新题7 讨论

支持D

a number强调了比较的重点.people确定了比较的对象,并且 the number of要省略,否则太wordy.

破折号的使用肯定是错的.最后一句话并不是对movie的进一步解释.

batmanhm

这题明显选E

B的破折号也许可以起解释说明作用，但是和the man-eater of the movies前面的逗号连起来用，整个句子的结构就被破坏了

我之前也是选了D，但看了NN们的讨论，觉得 a number 和 people 确实没办法比较。

E答案的the ones 确实存在指代不明的嫌疑。因为它要是指代人吧，也应指的是 7 people（因为是the
        ones），意思就有问题了。另外，从语法的角度上来说，它也可能就近指代 movies，我们不能根据我们想要的意思就说它一定指人吧。有些NN说应换成those，我觉得不是很恰当。xdf语法老师说，those不能“裸奔”，就是不能没有修饰词修饰，单独出来指代。

我认为B比较合适。首先，它是主语在比较，那就存在一个助动词是否需要补出的问题了。“当比较对象是主语时，在可能会引起误会的情况下应尽量补出助动词”  B选项就很好的补出了“have”，避免了歧义，同时也看起来很平行。

以下是引用小女公子在2005-5-25 21:06:00的发言：

112.    Domestic automobile manufacturers have invested millions of dollars into research to develop cars more gasoline-efficient even than presently on the road.

(A) into research to develop cars more gasoline-efficient even than presently on the road

(B) into research for developing even more gasoline-efficient cars on the road than at present

(C) for research for cars to be developed that are more gasoline-efficient even than presently the road

(D) in research to develop cars even more gasoline-efficient than those at present on the road

(E) in research for developing cars that are even more gasoline-efficient than presently on the road

Choice D, the best answer, uses the preposition than to compare two clearly specified and grammatically parallel terms, the cars the manufacturers hope to develop and those at present on the road. In A, the phrase more gasoline-efficient... than presently on the road does not identify the second term of the comparison. In B, the misuse of modifying phrases produces an ambiguous and awkward statement: even more gasoline-efficient cars could refer either to more cars that are efficient or to cars that are more efficient. Choices B, C, and E all use research for [verb] where the idiom requires research to [verb]. In addition, C awkwardly separates even from more, and C and E again fail to indicate the second term of the

这个问题一直就没搞懂，现在终于冒出来了。为什么这里的than后面就能省，112题中就不能省？？？还是说，这题也能省，只是不省更好。

than什么时候做conj，什么时候做关系代词啊？？

Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.

1. movies—less than those

2. movies—fewer than
                   （people） have been

3. movies, which is less than those

4. movies, a number lower than the people

5. movies, fewer than the ones

112题是宾语比较，gwd这题是主语比较。所以，，未经考证的推出宾语比较不能省，主语比较时可以省。欢迎讨论

顶上来，关于此题的讨论，涉及比较句的本质。

fightbear

再次顶起来，support E。

支持B。

D中ones的用法有问题，如下：

one做代词：

1.     人；〔古语〕有人。 O- who writes is called a writer. 写作的人就叫做作家。

2.     〔不定代名词〕我们，任何人。 O- must observe the rules. 我们(任何人)必须遵守规则。
                    

3.     〔pl. ones〕东西。 Which one do you like - This one will do.

4.     〔代替前面曾说及的普通名词〕I have lost my umbrella, I think I must buy one. 我丢了伞，非另买一把不可了。
                ★这一用法的 one, 其复数为 some .

另外，one 系泛指同种物，it 则是特指同一物。 I want large ones, not small ones. 我要大的，不要小的。

由此看来，one指代人时只有泛指人的用法，没有指代前面出现过的人的用法。而且，即使指代前面出现过的物，我理解也是泛泛指代某种东西。

Hope so~

这个题就是B Prep上有的。

唉。B的fewer than have been 和D的fewer than the ones 到底什么区别？

还有破折号和逗号有什么区别？

越看越晕
