gwd 12 两道语法请较

johnjwu2004

that不可能指代469,000啊，前面说的是a total of 469,000 car and truck, 后面是 the numbers of trucks,而且根据ets的习惯，出现新词的时候，偏重于选新词，so 我选c

stellate

In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice the numbers of tucks alone came off the assembly lines.

有人知道the number是多少吗？数量是抽象概念能加复数吗？A 错     

B.that number=469,000 相当与倍数比较的sth is XXtimes that of sth else     

这里只是把that 用具体的对象代替掉了，因为如果单用that有歧义

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.                           

B.that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like               

B主谓不一致，原句正确                  

alone=by oneself 是 sb do sth alone= sb do sth by oneself

这里意思是只此一项的产量就已经达到原来两种产品产量的总和了。

In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice the numbers of tucks alone came off the assembly lines.

1. the numbers of tucks alone
2. that number of trucks alone

3. the number of trucks by themselves
4. as many trucks themselves
5. as many trucks by themselves

C有两个错误，第一，by themselves是有动作执行的时候才与ALONE对等，ALONE强调客观，B。。T。。强调主观，第二，TWICE THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS BY。。。，两倍的是卡车的数学，不是前面的总数。选B

以下是引用lukrenee在2004-11-23 13:00:00的发言：

1. the numbers of tucks alone


2. that number of trucks alone
   



3. the number of trucks by themselves


4. as many trucks themselves


5. as many trucks by themselves

我是新人；我开始也选了C，仔细想了一下，还是选B； C有逻辑错误；

C的中心词the number不能下线；B的中心词trucks才能搭配；that number这里是修饰成分，与the number 不一样；

这么理解可以吗？

本题前面的帖子LES同志给了关于the number与that number不同点的精确解释，无以复加。我想补充的是：alone 的两个词性：1、标语形容词，表示单独、独占，2、副词，本题从位置上，很明显不是副词用法。修饰对象是清晰的，但若是和by oneself 互换，则造成歧义修饰came off 的可能

他们也选的B
还有人评论"I am sure this is not a GMAT question not even close .I am sure this is not a GMAT question not even close ."

关键是：that number 根本不是469000啊！！所以，如果有that number，那一定是文章中出现过的number，这里文章根本没有出现，怎么会选B.

应该是C

我的一点看法：

先看一个句子：

in 1929 a number of trucks alone came off the assembly lines

如果分析这个句子，大家应该同意：trucks 是中心词，alone作为副词修饰trucks，是“只有”的意思，不可能和“by oneself”互换的。

再回到原句，如果选B，就是：

in 1929 almost twice that number of trucks alone came off the assembly lines

almost twice that number of 是修饰trucks的。同样，如果改成almost twice the number of 也是可以的。这样，只能选择B或C，但是C中的by themselves用得不对，应该是alone，alone作为副词修饰trucks，是“只有”的意思，不可能和“by oneself”互换的。

因此只能是B。

一家之言，nn指点。

还是有一个疑惑，twice the number of 与twice that number of单独拿出来看有甚么区别啊？
