求教GWD最新试题4第4题

amorela

看到现在....越看越CONFUSE了....

不过我还是选C,还是觉得之前前辈说的“,Per miligram,” 是插入语,可以省略不看的解释,所以that引导一个限定性定语从句.

而of what的确用在这里很奇怪.大家把很多问题想的太复杂了.

我也跟一个native speaker确认过这条的答案,他也是教英文的,而且以前是教TOEFL语法的哦:

“that” correct: this sentence is not a comparative(three times is followed by a noun, so it is already complete as a comparative) so the second sentence is simply a relative clause. e.g  “she is three times as beautiful as the other girl” (this sentence is a comparative) “i bought this one for three times the price that i bought the other one ” (relative clause) “she has three times the beauty(noun) that the other girl has”

所以,用GWD的话就是,SC要选最象英语表达的那个选项,而不是我们自己加上很多语法规则去说这个是对的.人家就是这么说话的,你能随便乱改吗?

到底是C还是D啊，那个帖里面最后也没说哪个啊？？？

以下是引用arundhati在2004-6-26 17:47:00的发言：

我也觉得D有些问题，因为不知道这个what在这里做什么成分。如果后面没有“another product”的话，还可以理解为这个what为charge for的对象，可既然有了个完整的charge for something，这个what就实在不知是干什么的了。

如果D可以的话，E为什么不可以呢？charge for sth. of some prices, or charge for sth. at some prices?

请指教！

同意这句话,还原后:

.... 3 times the price of the products that( =of what) the maker charges for the products....

在google上面搜了一下：Why is Red Bull More Than Three Times the Price of Coke?

有了上面的例子，of后面是要加名词（什么什么产品），不是价格

否则就成了the price of price了。

大家批评

完全同意你这个想法

我当时就选了of what这个选项，语法上咋一看没问题，但是仔细一琢磨，意义上有问题，prize of prize算是什么东西？不合逻辑么

但是问题是如果选择C的话，怎么解释that引导了一个非限制性定语从句呢？

 for three times the price of what the drug’s maker charges for another product

其实就是 ......times +the +n. 比较的是price, of what 修饰price

初选D 不过再看发觉C更好

这里把逗号那部分插入语去掉 that 还是修饰price 这样句子就很通了

恩，没错，times的固定用法是：...times+the+名词。

这里，3 times the price that...没问题

而d中，the price of 后面应该加sth，而what引导的句子是说sth 是一什么价格。这就是第一页当中tiamwan说的，变成the price of 2yuan. 不合理。

9. A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, as the drug’s maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.
                                    

A.      as

B.      than

C.      that

D.      of what

E.      at which

ANSWER:  C  I have researched this question, both here on ST and in the grammar/style texts, and I cannot find any support for D in this case (or, generally, as "of what" is simply poor style, even when it is not grammatically incorrect). This is a question that deals with correct usage of a relative pronoun (that, which, who, whom, what, and whose). The function of a relative pronoun is to introduce a subordinate clause and relate it to another antecedent word or idea. In this sentence, that idea is "...three times the
                                            price..." The relative pronouns which would work here are: that and which (not "what," not "of what, not "at which"). So, A, B, D, and E do not work with this construction. And, by the way, "of what" can nearly always be said in a better, more stylistically acceptable fashion. This sentence should read, "A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, that the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient." The first part of the sentence is the main (or independent) clause. The last part of the sentence is the subordinate (or dependent) clause. "That" refers to "three times the price" clearly and it introduces the subordinate clause correctly. C is the best answer, FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION. If "the price" were omitted from the sentence, then this would be correct, "A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times, per milligram, what the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient." But, even with this construction, "of what" does not work.

可是我不理解为什么AT WHICH不可以?
