Jnlvo 能解释一下嘛？

第一题我怎么记得答案是A，大全中给的是D，当时有人引用了kaplan的原文注解，清楚地说明答案是A。可现在居然又是E了。kaplan的可信度确实不高，难怪很多人kaplan模考的不怎样，真考却还不错。

jnlvo

我选2, E, 3 C  4 A

5 感觉还是much好。

你和我开始的想法一样， 但是答案是

1   A ， 不好意思是我搞错了。 That mark 优于marking, 表明的是一种状态而不是动作本身。  

2， B- - 后来想想确实感觉B好， 对于E，因为sitcom 不是commercial的施动者呀，所以不成立，应该选主动态的B。对于用will 而不是should，我觉得是因为determine已经决定了这是一种惯例了，用should显然意思不通。

3,   D-  对于C和D ， 我只能用平行的概念来解释了， 如果选C，用了伴随状语， 有歧异，不知道是修饰整句句子还是complicate pregnancy 的， 所以用by做状语解决了这个问题。

4,   B- 为什么选B我还是想不通，，，

5， 同意much

继续讨论欧！

第2题你说的是对的，我当时只是从平行角度选的E，从意思的表达应该B好。

第3题我从意思上判断是似乎C好些，不过答案是D，一方面有你说的原因，还有另一个可能原因是can.......，doing....这个结构本身就是错的。以前也遇到过，这种结构作为错误选项，不过没有见过详细的说明，不能完全肯定这种想法的正确性。

第4题，B让人一看感觉很简洁，不过当时我觉得itself指代有问题，现在再看itself应该指the church ，与后面的its相同。相比的是church和windows，而不是floor和windows，否则有意思重复之嫌。这点确实当时没有考虑到。

你做题后应该能看到kaplan的注释，不知它是如何解的。不过我感觉kaplan的解释跟og比就显得很毛糙。
