同谢雪儿！我看了那么多楼终于在这里把95题彻底搞明白了。

^_^不客气

不知道我是不是把你的意思理解错了，
但从og的解释来看， consisting of 的主语是society 不是wasps.
我对为什么consisting of 不能修饰wasp感到不理解 求助！

PREP语法笔记里：当现在/过去分词在句中且前没有逗号,修饰前面紧邻名词

consisiting 修饰society

vilawe

这里的consisting我觉得修饰society更好吧，因为是在解释wasps，wasps是个社会，是个全由female组成的社会，这里consisting almost entirely of female workers和highly cooperative,organized society可以更好地起到平行效果，这是这三点条件形成的社会可以定义为wasps
P.S：
若雪的关于consisting怎样与前面平行的解释说得真好，这下长见识了，平行还可以像这样，谢谢啦

LZ~我认为从OG的解释上看，B正确选项解释说"The three descriptors of the wasp society are in parallel form, and consisting properly modifies society"，consisting、cooperative和organized都是修饰society的，如果consisting要修饰wasps的话我认为至少从修饰清晰这个角度来看也应该加上and that consist，不然会造成修饰歧义，而且从句意来看，OG上的解释也说了" In this explanation, the society or population— not the individual wasps themselves— consists almost entirely of females.社会由母锋组成，我认为这个句意没有问题，就像说社会由人组成一样~

103.  Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species
of the world's social wasps, wasps living in a highly
cooperative and organized society where thev consist
almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile
female workers.
(A)    wasps living in a highly cooperative and
      organized society where they consist almost
      entirely of
(B)   wasps that live in a highly cooperative and
      organized society consisting almost entirely of
(C） which means they live in a highly cooperative
      and organized society, almost all
(D)   which means that their society is highly
      cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely
(E)    living in a society that is highly cooperative,
      organized, and it consists of almost all

问题一：OG答案上说三个修饰语 cooperative ，  organized， consisting almost entirely of females，做 social wasps的修饰语，而且是一个有效的平行结构，而答案的正确选项解释 consisting properly modifies society. 到底consisting修饰social wasps，还是society。我觉得那三个修饰语都是修饰society的，然后定语从句是修饰social wasps的，不过看过答案觉得很迷惑，而且对这种平行结构也不是清楚，前面两个是形容词，后面是分词怎么平行的哇？？？？？？？？？？

问题二，entirely 和 all 在这里可否替换，我查了entirely 有完全地 和全部地两个意思。


求解~~~求救啊~~~~

我觉得这边的平行不是属于那种很规矩的很好看的大平行。我更趋向于理解这边的平行指的是都是修饰性语句。highly cooperative and organized..consisting （伴随做修饰）。
(D) which means that their society is highly cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely
(E) living in a society that is highly cooperative,organized, and it consists of almost all

而DE这里很明显it is ...和it consists of 都是独立成句，破坏了相对来说的平行结构。


关于修饰对象。  wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized societyconsisting almost entirely of females 这样清楚些么？
从语法上来说,consisting现在分词做伴随修饰比较灵活，可以修饰前面的主语也可以修饰宾语，这个时候就要从意义上来理解了。
从意义上你只可以说这样一个黄蜂族群【黄蜂】几乎都是由female【黄蜂】组成的，而不说这个社会是由female组成了，后面两者没有可比性。


希望能帮到你哈^_^

讲的真好，明白哩，还是要看句意，我也觉得是应该黄蜂族群由female，组成，而不是社会~·
感谢~~雪儿 啊~·

可OG上讲就是说wasps不能做consist of的主语。。。

非诚勿扰3

严重同意

关于平行结构的解说是亮点


而对于 consisting almost entirely of ，个人觉得还是修饰society


但是不太明白解析上提到的同位语结构这一说法

关于C，难道你的意思是，although是第一个定语从句里面的？
意思就是 that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly是一个大的定语从句？
然后although在这个定语从句里面起了转折的作用？？
那么the air that forms them难道是定语从句里面的定语从句？
英语真的有这种用法么？

OG--95-The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as "standing waves."(A) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are(B) crests and troughs that remain stationary although they are formed by rapidly moving air, are(C) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, is(D) stationary crests and troughs although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are(E) stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air, isAnswer is C. C 中的 although the air that forms them is moving rapidly 是属于 that 定语从句中的一部分吗？ C and E 到底是什么区别呀？  
问题一，一个牛牛说
YES. C 中的 although the air that forms them is moving rapidly 是属于 that 定语从句中的一部分.这就是C和E的区别.although只能修饰一句话,不能是个WITH结构.
不理解啊，，小女子基础差，有木有好心人给讲下，although 的用法。
问题二，stationary crests and troughs  可以这样一个形容词同时修饰两个名词不？
三、E为什么错，OG大哥说因为被动，我又困混啦~~~~~~~·
HELP~~~~~~~
非常感谢各位~~~

首先，although是连词，所以后面必须要加句子。比如说，although I've been to his house several times, I still can't remember how to get there 但是呢，如果主语和从句的主语一致的话，可以省略掉从句主语，变成although+分词的结构，比如说 although only accounting for 5% of the population, US citizens consume 28% of the world's natural resources.


关于问题二，我觉得最好不要这么用容易引起歧义到底是修饰两个还是修饰一个。不过多数是effectiveness的错误，还是以correctiveness的错误为先。


问题三，GMAT的一个rule就是被动不简洁，所以最好用主动。

那个后两个都明白咯，~·我还想问下，，嘿嘿
第一个那个是with+名词+定语从句+although+定语从句 也就可以算是 with加名词了吧？although做定语从句的一部分。
谢谢

C: The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly(这个部分整体修饰crests and troughs, 所以这边是with+n.although是定语从句的一部分,从句部分详细分解之后就是crests and troughs remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, although连接的两个都是句子，although表转折含义), is known as "standing waves"


E: The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air（这边的转折就比较奇怪发现没？用 crests and troughs和they are formed by rapidly moving air做转折。真正能够转折的应该是crests and troughs的remain stationary 和 ..moving rapidly）, is known as "standing waves"


不知道从逻辑含义上来讲有没有清楚点..我现在越来越发觉语法什么的都是为了逻辑含义服务的...

看到这个题目，正好搜到这个解释。不过前面解释好像有点小问题啊。。
我觉得og的解释是对的。consisting of ... 应该是修饰society的，而不是wasps的
看下面这个例句： The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 英国由。。。等地方组成。
同样在这里，只有society才能consist entirely of females... 即社会由雌蜂组成。

雪儿~也就是说svo,doing; svo doing.这种现在分词形式，既可以修饰主语做伴随状语，也可以修饰整个句子做结果状语，还可以修饰宾语，可是修饰宾语的时候也是做状语么？终于翻译哟？？
还有点点不太明白，OG上说the society or population-not the individual wasps themselves-consists almost entirely of females.
A  中说they, referring to wasps, is an incorrect subject for consist.
B  说consisting properly modifies society.
这样的话，consisting 就是修饰词语society的吧？？是吧？
