opeman SC 新题7 讨论

support B.

from google, one example is found:

"In two years, a total of 348 people have died in seven countries in attacks that could be loosely linked with al-Qaeda or its many affiliates and emulators--far fewer thatn have been killed by bolts of lightning in the same period."

The sentence above resembles our question much!

恩看起来只有B的时态是对的。have been 对应bave been，我原来是选了E。但是时态不对。ones 为什么不能修饰前面的啊。我好像记得可以修饰的啊。。。请指教。。。

精彩的讨论。

个人支持B，印象中英文中见的——比较多的用来转折、解释或补充的是前面的句子，就近修饰好像见得少些，仅仅个人一点点的感觉，请NN指正

同意,B

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

仅仅是个人感觉：

OG112中，比的是不同的车子。更...的车子和目前的车子，虽然都是cars，但是其特点是各不相同的，所以要用those。GWD-7-4中，比的不是people本身的特点，而是people的数量，people本身是完全相同的，完全没有区别，所以可以省略。参考OG里有一道省略American（killed in any previous battles）的题目。（题号忘记了）

这题XDF的时候老师给的答案是E, 分析就是B会产生歧义, E的ones虽然不爽, 但是不算大错误.

PS. 该老师770, 他的学生Tonyaddidas 800... , 没有任何诉诸权威的意思, 答案仅供大家参考.

In my opinion, B is better than E.

我觉得B比较好。这里fewer than 后面的主语就是people。因为如果把movies代入，那么movies have been killed by bee stings逻辑意思很荒谬，所以这里没有必要写出来people,我们也很清楚只能是people。那么就不会产生歧义。ETS很多题目都是这么默认的，要从逻辑意思上来判断是否有歧义，并不是后面一个they,前面如果有两个复数名词就会有歧义。关键要看是否这两个复数名词代替they的时候，从逻辑意思上来说是否都说得过去，如果是！那么就有歧义了。

个人一点点小意见，不知道是否对！请大家指正！我觉得这个修饰对象的歧义问题非常重要，非常需要我搞搞明白。谢谢！！

我也选择B.

很明显，E中间的the ones指的就是前面死于鲨鱼的7个人，是个绝对错误。
