支持B!

清楚得记得有一题OG中，某场战役中，美国人死掉了多少倍than（美国人）在另外一场战役里死掉。呵呵，此处than后面就省略了美国人这个词。

原因是than后面的主语与主句保持一致，所以可以省略！

e

特指

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 have been
   
3. movies, which is less than those
   
4. movies, a number lower than the people
   
5. movies, fewer than the ones

支持B!

E有个很明显的逻辑错误，e中the ones特指前面的seven people

这就和OG中一道题目一样了，说发生在美国东面的地震比西面的强什么的

难道killed by the great white shark还能再次killed by bee stings？

之所以B中fewer than后面的主语可省，是因为省掉的people和前面完全一致，如果是不同概念则要用those, 就像OG112一样。这种省略可以在OG187种找到。

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

support E.

1. "the man-eater of the movies" is an appositive, so we should omit it.

    Accordingly ,E is better than B, because "—fewer than have been" in B does not

    clearly point out the comparison between "fewer..." and "seven people...", you

    may realize that "man-eater" or "movies" compared with "fewer than have been."

2. What is the difference between "that/those" and "one/ones" ?

    According to Longman Dictionary, "that/those" can be substituded for people and things, but

     "one/ones" can be only substituded for people. In E, "ones" is clearly substituded for "people",

     but in "B", though you can omit "people" when what to compare is the same, "B" still has unclear

     comparison problems. "—fewer than have been" in B does not

    clearly point out the comparison between "fewer..." and "seven people...".

so I support E

annding

省略同位語，來看B和E:

B: Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark — fewer than have been killed by bee stings.

E: Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.

E是fragment,句子結構不完整。

B的破折號有遞進和解釋説明的意思。

俺以前選E,現在support B!

support ANNDING!!!!

句子和句子比较相同的主语可以省略

以下是引用future2005在2004-8-27 1:37:00的发言：

答案应该是B.

E的错误有2个:

1. 时态不一致

2.one错.  GMAT Verbal Workbook(KAPLAN):

   Never use one or one's to refer to any antecedent except one.

同意one错误，但哪里涉及时态啊！killed 是表被动，分词修饰啊

以下是引用future2005在2004-8-27 1:37:00的发言：

答案应该是B.

E的错误有2个:

1. 时态不一致

2.one错.  GMAT Verbal Workbook(KAPLAN):

   Never use one or one's to refer to any antecedent except one.

即使这句话是KAPLAN说的在下也不敢认同，见下题

大全809

The proposed urban development zones do not represent a new principle; it was employed in “Operation Bootstrap” in Puerto Rico.

(A) do not represent a new principle; it

(B) represent not a new principle, but one that

(C) are not a new principle; the same one

(D) are not a new principle, but one that（B）

(E) are not new in principle; it

这里正确答案中one前面没有KAPLAN所说的另一个one作先行词，但ETS硬是用它来指代principle。我认为it与one的指代区别在于it指代的是一个具体的事物，而one指代的是一个抽象的概念。如这里A的错误就在于会使人们误读为：前面提到的‘那些新原则’会被应用于‘OB’，这显然是不合逻辑的，而B就避免了这个错误。

另外，关于破折号是否表示就近修饰，这题很可以说明些问题

大全189

Proponents of artificial intelligence say they will be able to make computers that can understand English and other human languages, recognize objects, and reason as an expert does—computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these.

(A) as an expert does—computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these

(B) as an expert does, which may be used for purposes such as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan

(C) like an expert—computers that will be used for such purposes as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan

(D) like an expert, the use of which would be for purposes like the diagnosis of equipment breakdowns or the decision whether or not a loan should be authorized（C）

(E) like an expert, to be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan or not, or the like

正确答案很清晰地显示不存在就近修饰的问题

即便如此，我们也没有足够的理由否定E。关于上面提到的E的时态问题，我觉得E中的killed是作分词直接修饰ones，表示一种状态，跟时态毫无关系。请大牛指点
