The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center, a complex where final tryouts are held for athletes representing the United States in the Olympics, is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation for international competition.

(A) is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation

(B) is geared to enhance the performance of athletes and to prepare them

(C) are geared to enhance athletes' performance and their preparation

(D) are geared toward the enhancement of athletes' performance and toward preparing them

(E) are geared toward enhancing the performance of athletes and preparing them

此题的答案是E。
是因为be geared toward doing 么？这是个固定搭配么？

答案不是E吧……E中them指代谁呢？前面只有The Sports Medicine Programs 和athletes是复数n，但是指代谁都不合逻辑吖……
我觉得是C，不知道对不对……

此题的答案是E。是prep上的题目耶。
them在这里指的是athletes啊！
只是不知道这个是不是个固定搭配。

哦哦~C中不平行了~
是不是固定搭配就不知道了，但是词典给出的例句后面都是doing或名词，给个参考吧~
It was not too involved and was geared toward learning the basics.
He said it is a request geared toward disturping public order.

谢谢你给的参考

遥远的地方

prep 给的解释是 固定搭配  gear: verb. (usually passive.)if someone or sth is geared to (+noun.)or towards a
particular purpose, they are organized or designed in order to achieve that purpose.对某事物加以调
节以适合某种需要或达到某种水平或标准

排除C是因为不平行 但我怎么觉得C才是平行的呢

遥远的地方

我懂了 prepar的主语应该是The Sports Medicine Programs  不是athletes

duayn

我不懂耶，如果preparing和enhancing平行的话，不是得把toward补出吗？介词短语平行有补出原则啊，are geared towards V-ing···and towards V-ing···
C的话让 athletes' performance and their preparation平行不行吗

是的，这题我也有疑虑，为什么不是C，笔记说是因为“专有名词的复数:专有名词的复数跟普通单词一样,在词尾添加s表示复数概念”但是为什么原句未划线部分同位语是“ a complex where final tryouts”？是不是应该当单数主语来理解呢？求高手出来

verateddy

楼上有一个解释应该是正确的，我也选错了，但是唯一能理解的就是，them的指代不应该是athletes而应该是sports medicine programs , 意思是，调节这个programs来做两件事 1，enhancing the perfromance of athletes 2 preparing the Programs for international competition （就是调节这个programs使它符合国际大赛的标准）

不知道这样理解正确不，期待牛牛解答
