a 没有问题吧 also可以做为连词,你作用和and 是一样的, Q30应该就是approved 和established 并列

差了longman, also 并没有conjunction词性啊

questionmark

ALSO是副词，不可以做连词的。

A ",also established..."

与前面的如何成为句子, ???是否应该去掉逗号...

那么D的错误是不是就在这个making provision修饰关系不清呢？OG中的这道题目对于出现在句中的分词结构表示其有歧义，那么在20题中这个making provision也会有类似的问题么？

179. During the early years of European settlement on a continent that was viewed as "wilderness" by the newcomers. Native Americans, intimately knowing the ecology of the land. were a help in the rescuing of many Pilgrims and pioneers from hardship, or even death.

(A)  Native Americans, intimately knowing the ecology of the land, were a help in the rescuing of

(B)  Native Americans knew the ecology and the land intimately and this enabled them to help in the rescue of

(C)  Native Americans, with their intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land, helped to rescue

(D)  having intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land. Native Americans helped the rescue of

(E)   knowing intimately the ecology of the land, Native Americans helped to rescue

Choice A suffers from the wordy and indirect expression were a help in the rescuing of. B creates an awkward, redundant, fused sentence in which the first clause has to be repeated in the vague this of the second clause; further­more, the comma required before and in larger compound sentences is omitted. D and E are confusingly worded because they begin with present participles (having and knowing) that appear at first to refer to the immediately preceding noun, newcomers, rather than to Native Ameri­cans. D also has the wordy and unidiomatic helped the rescue of. Clear, direct, and economical, choice C is best.

Consufsing啊，马上就要考试了

og179的DE选项都把现在分词放在了两个名次结构之间（如从句宾语与主句主语之间），当然会引起修饰上的歧异。

至于这个12-20的D选项，没有这个问题。因为它并没有位于两个名词性成分之间。不选D的理由在于Approved是修饰the act的。但D插入了making的分词结构，让修饰语与修饰对象远离，造成了理解上的困难。至于A选项also之前的comma，完全不必理会。此comma与它之前的之前的comma是因为插入了“华盛顿，DC”这个插入语而出现的。also可以作副词修饰established。

12-20：我個人不選d的原因是，如果aproved...和making...是要當成分詞短語來修飾the act of congress..也不是不行，但是，aproved April, 1800和makin...之間要加個and，不則就會造成making... 是在修飾1800的誤解。

actu

另外問個問題：

A的the act of congress that makde..以限定關係代名詞子句來修飾，會不會造成有很多的the act of congress的誤解？

that定语从句是对the act的内容的说明，所以不应该有歧义吧

以下是引用rt316在2004-6-22 5:55:00的发言：

第一题A，比较结构比较的如果不是主谓结构，而且比较对象的主谓一致时，主谓结构可以省略，但保留介词结构，如此题：more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than (babies were born to women) under it. 括号内的内容可以全部省略。

说的真精辟！

不过有些疑惑--什么叫做比较的是主谓结构呢？

斑竹可否举例说说？非常感谢！

A别的都没问题，就是that made有点小疑问，以前看帖记得有位NN说过修饰法令条文都用现在分词，不知道这里为什么用从句？？

盼NN回复
