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.

• movies—less than those
  
  
  
  
• movies—fewer than
                 （people） have been
  
  
  
  
• movies, which is less than those
  
  
  
  
• movies, a number lower than the people
  
  
  
  
• 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

赞这个， 和语法课老师讲的如出一辙。

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。

个人观点，欢迎讨论

查到这题,觉得有必要顶一下.首先,PREP里答案是B.
前辈讨论了很多...看下来,比较满意的就是我引用的这位说的.
B对不对,无所谓.
D错,E错.(我刚开始也选了E,不过要注意THE ones指的是被鲨鱼和谐掉的7个人.这7个人尸骨未寒,就不要让蜜蜂再来折腾一下了吧.窃以为改成those可以,因为killed算是修饰了吧.至于之前说的E时态错,我觉得没有这回事.至于those是否被误以为指代MOVIES,我觉得一般人还是不会误以为的吧,不过不管怎么样,这也是一个flaw.所以咱不纠结,B就B呗)

流浪的心

既然PREP 是B

那终于有结论了。。。讨论了6年，太精彩了。

这位说的可以一下子定位到B。
应试很实用。
