GWD整体第一套的几个问题

雪落无声

感觉做more than half这个比例的同位语比较合适，Jevno说的

小鸟能举出例子来，一个单词（名词短语）可以做整个句子的同位语嘛？

虽然说的是more than half,但是我们不能单纯说这个more than half 就是所说的比率，相反正因为which 不能指代前面的整个句子，才加上一个同位语，也就是说这是一句话的意思，完整地表达的超过一半的比率。我记得看到过这样类似的表达，但是目前一下子没有找到。我明天找找看。

答案是什么？我选D，B，A。

如果指代MORE THAN HALF的话, 答案就是A. 也只能是A.

记得OG有一题, sendiments from Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area

应该与这道题有异曲同工之处吧. 看来名词可以指代前面句子的意思.

或是说, a greater proportion是和该名词自己做比较?? 请讨论

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

1. a greater proportion than it was
2. a greater proportion than比较错误
3. a greater proportion than they have been
4. which is greater than was so
5. which is greater than it has been

I hate to say so, but I think in choice A it was should be it had been since it refers to sth that had happened before the costs accounted for more than half..

7．A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

1. that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times
   

2. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
   

3. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
   

4. CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
   

5. CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times
   

CEO’S加在这里什么用？省略了什么，CEO’s salary语义重复啊。

I'll vote for B. In choice A, the logic subject of "compared to a ratio..." may be CEO's, leading to an illogical comparation between people (CEO's ) and a ratio. In B, the comparation is between a ratio and 42times, more clearly and logically.

Open to discussion

up...谢谢.

I vote for A; the present tense in B does not consist with the adverb "in 1980";

I agree with you in terms of tense.

Refer t

198. Although Napoleon’s army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

(A) they had in their previous campaigns

(B) their previous campaigns had had

(C) they had for any previous campaign

(D) in their previous campaigns（E）

(E) for any previous campaign

(1) If than is followed by a clause referring to army, the subject of that clause must be singular (it). (2)Furthermore, the verb of that clause will need to be in the past perfect form (had had) because it refers to a time before the simple past of entered. (3)Finally, the preposition for is more precise than in because supplies are gathered for an upcoming campaign. Choices A and C incorrectly use the plural they and the simple past had. Moreover, A uses the less precise in. Choices D and E wisely dispense with the full clause and use a simple prepositional phrase. D, however, uses the imprecise in and the plural their. Only E, the best choice, avoids all the errors mentioned above

小心阿, zcoygmat朋友

as 的用法

1.       作为连接词

2.       作为介系词但一定跟主动词有关

所以我觉得as+名词做同位与的说法并不适当

不是太明白weiyu的意思.A,B中不都是一样的时态吗? 我不太明白A中的compared to..是修饰谁的? 而且觉得很困惑....ETS不是说compare to 和compare with是不同含义的吗.我觉得这里的逻辑意思应该是用compare with的吧?虽然5个选项都用了compare to,不用考虑那么多.可我还是觉得很奇怪...怎么它想用compare to就用compare to了?

有人能帮忙指点一下为什么答案选A吗? 谢谢指点先.
