Prep2 186

186. (GWD-6-Q41)The greatest road system built in the Americas prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus was the Incan highway, which, over 2,500 miles long and extending from northern Ecuador through Peru to southern Chile.

A.Columbus was the Incan highway, which, over 2,500 miles long and extending

B.Columbus was the Incan highway, over 2,500 miles in length, and extended

C.Columbus, the Incan highway, which was over 2,500 miles in length and extended

D.Columbus, the Incan highway, being over 2,500 miles in length, was extended(E)

E.Columbus, the Incan highway was over 2,500 miles long, extending



（B）extended被动形式错，句意变成了highway被延伸了，实际上延伸是highway主动发出的动作； extended和over 2500 miles变得没有关系，显然不是合理的句子结构安排。



疑问：我觉得B（黄体部分）解释不好，不应该解释为用了被动形式所以错，而是逻辑关系错误，B中主语是The greatest road system，语法上“was”和“extended”都用过去时，没有问题，但是“system extended”是不合逻辑的。

举个例子：The man in red was Tony, 172 in height, and stood there. 这里was和stood都是并列的过去形式，语法上和逻辑上都说的过去。

还有同样这题的D选项解释
(D)    being使用wordy；in length不如long简洁；was extended变成和was the Incan highway平行，结构不合理，且was extended被动使用不当。

D选项中木有出现was the Incan highway~~

Prep2-229.(GWD-6-Q18)In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

A.In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

B.Of the Californians under the age of eighteen, today more than 43 percent of them are Hispanic, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

C.Today, more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic, compared with about 35 percent a decade ago.

D.Today, compared to a decade ago, Californians who are Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, whereas it was about 35 percent.(C)

E.Today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen in California account for more than 43 percent, unlike a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.





D.Compared with修饰不清，可以修饰today，也可以修饰主句；43 percent与35 percent无所指；it无所指。

疑问：D项解释的with应该改为to

Prep2-235. (GWD3-Q22)
On account of a law passed in 1933, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.

A.On account of a law passed in 1933, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

B.With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

C.A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding

D.Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold(D)

E.Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold



C．it指代不清；同B；A law passed in 1993 that…有作为immigrants同位语的歧义；正确的短语是make it a crime for sb. to do，用doing错误。



疑问：同是短语made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for，其他选项中没说it有指代不清的嫌疑，那么C选项中的it也不该列为错误点。

这里主要还是因为后面没有用to do所以引起了it无所指，it可以指代不定式，但是不能指代holding这样的现在分词，我调整下措辞。

prep1-223.(GWD-23-Q23)After several years of rapid growth, the health care company became one of the largest health care providers in the metropolitan area, while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to doctors and hospitals.

A.while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to

B.while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to

C.but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying

D.but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying(E)

E.but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying





选项分析：
A．即便表示转折对比，while也有”at the same time“的含义在里面，与then矛盾，并让句意变成了the health care company expanding and falling是同时发生的，但是实际上应该是先became largest，然后再fell；其次，its payment不如动词paying简洁，名词和东西（改为“动词”）优先选择动词。

解释：A.省略的did前半个平行结构没有，无法补出，错误；foreshadow与there would be语义重复，且there be后面不接抽象动词。
“省略的did前半个平行结构没有，无法补出”  我觉得不好理解哇。。（我悟性差。。） 版版能不能将这点再详细点？？

Prep2-159.The first detailed study of magpie attacks in Australia indicates that by the time they had reached adulthood, 98 percent of men and 75 percent of women born in the country have been attacked by the birds

A.by the time they had reached adulthood, 98 percent of men and 75 percent of women born in the country have been attacked by the birds

B.by the time they reach adulthood, 98 percent of men and 75 percent of women, who were born in the country, had been attacked by the birds

C.by the time they reached adulthood, 98 percent of men and 75 percent of women born in the country had been attacked by the birds

D.98 percent of men and 75 percent of women that were born in the country were attacked by the birds by the time they reach adulthood(C)

E.98 percent of men and 75 percent of women who were born in the country, by the time they reached adulthood had been attacked by the birds



A.reach的时态错误，同时使得had been attacked没有时间对比来说明be attack是发生在过去的过去；Who引导的定语从句是非限制性修饰，使得逻辑含义错误。

疑问：什么逻辑含义错误，能具体下不？
