[求助]疑惑一题 关于While的疑问

FlowerJay

这个帖子一定要顶。

我支持ｅ。从意思上讲：

人们晚上和周末打电话是为了省钱（这个是从生活中来的，美国和新加坡包括很多通讯发达国家的周末和晚上话费是便宜的，叫做ｏｆｆ－ｐｅａｋ　ｈｏｕｒ）

第一句的意思是，话费便宜了。既然话费便宜了，为什么人们还要省钱呢？也就是说这个是一个对比的转折关系。

ｗｉｔｈ引出的是伴随，也就是说动作的同时性或者逻辑的一致性。在这里是后者。如果这样带进去，就变成了：电话费降了，于是同时人们晚上和周末打电话了。有美国生活背景的人一看就知道这个是不对的，因为大家不是这么做的。

综上所述，ＥＴＳ很阴险！ＴＮＮＤ老子要是阿富汗的考生没用过手机，那老子不是很吃亏！

Vote for D

I choose E !

I only concern about "and" in E---- and连接着两个不同的时态--一个现在完成时，一个现在进行时，看上去很不平衡。

这个plummet是不是瞬间动词呀，就像die一样。用完成式怪怪的

选E,plummet不可以用ing

我原来选D， 但是现在决定选E。

理由1)D的最大的错误是plumetting in the last year. 我同意D是独立主格结构，且独立主格结构在这里是可以表示原因的。 但是现在分词短语与表示完成时态的短语in the last year是绝对不允许的。现在分词短语表示的是进行和伴随。如果D改成现在分词完成时having plummetting, 那么D是可以选的。

理由2)E的可怕之处是它的逻辑意义。仔细研究发现， 它决不是转折， 也不是因果。而是一个顺承。可以翻译成:

随着无线电话服务费在过去的一年中一直下降，同时手机变得越来越普遍，人们将会更加大的范围内使用手机， 尤其在晚上或周末，那时手机的服务公司提供了时间无限制的服务

many people are now using their mobile 是现在时表示将来。

以下是引用kathytc在2006-10-4 1:53:00的发言：

可以时态不一样的，ＯＧ１１ＴＨ里面就有一个ＦＵＮＧＩ的题目前面是过去时态，后面是现在进行时

恩,同意,ETS经常愿意出些看起来不对称的东西,象什么ING和ED

而且,在OG上基本没看到with放在句首的

另外根据我的一些做题后的总结,ets接受while 的结构,很多情况下while 都是正确

所以这到题一看到while 我就直接选E了

just asked one of my coworkers, he said choice D is much better and clear, E is not clear at all since it could be understood as Although. hope it helps!

看了OG11的这题，感觉还是E好

52.While all states face similar industrial waste problems, the predominating industries and the regulatory environment of the states obviously determines the types and amounts of waste produced, as well as the cost of disposal.

(A)  all states face similar industrial waste problems, the predominating industries and the regulatory environment of the states obviously determines

(B)  each state faces a similar industrial waste problem, their predominant industries and regulatory environment obviously determine

(C)  all states face a similar industrial waste problem; their predominating industries and regulatory environment obviously determines

(D)  each state faces similar industrial waste problems, the predominant industries and the regulatory environment of each state obviously determines

(E)  all states face similar industrial waste problems, the predominant industries and the regulatory environment of each state obviously determine

Agreement + Idiom

This sentence requires careful attention to number and agreement. The main clause has a compound subject, the predominating industries and the regulatory environment, which must take a plural verb, determine, rather than the singular verb shown in the original sentence. The sentence begins with the conjunction while, here used to mean although, and contrasts the similar situation of all states with the varying conditions of each state. The regulatory environment is singular and must logically be completed by of each state rather than of the states; the point of the main clause is that all states do not share the same predominating industries and regulatory environment.

A     The compound subject does not agree with the singular verb determines; main clause should call attention to the conditions of each state, not the states

B     Each state must be compared to all other states; their does not agree with each

C     Using a semicolon results in a sentence fragment; subject and verb do not agree

D     Each state must be compared to all other states; subject and verb do not agree

E、
                 Correct. This sentence makes the clear distinction between the problem all states share and the conditions each state faces; subject and verb agree.           

The correct answer is E.

无语了，刚开始选D，后来支持E，再后来又觉得D的独立主格不错，现在发现plummeting不能修饰Cost，还是不能选D。

真希望自己没来看过这个帖子呀，信心都没有了。
