我认为moon rise是一个重复性动作，所以用分词比名词好。

wding

查了Longman，rise作动词时有专门一个词条表示太阳，星星，或月亮的升起，而作名词时则没有这个意思：

sun/moon/star
            to appear in the sky [≠ set]:

The sun rises in the east.

 

所以，rise of the moon是nonidomatic的

可不可以这么理解: Rising强调动作和过程，rise强调动作和结果.

可是这里是说月亮升起的整个过程引起误解,还是已经升起的月亮引起了误解?

目前为止,几个帖子里,我认为是最合理的解释

dormousedzc

高高悬在天上的月亮和导弹袭击没有任何相似处;只有月亮冉冉升起的这个动态过程和导弹袭击才有相似处(导弹要不是以动态飞来的就真稀罕了!).这才有可能导致雷达系统的误报.

所以,表过程的rising > 表结果的rise

至于the rise of,在词典中是肯定有的,但是在gmat的家规中就不好说了,好象被明确肯定的只有the rise in...吧.

请教：

52。The rising of costs of data-processing operations at many financial institutions has created a growing opportunity for independent companies to provide these services more efficiently and at lower cost.

(A) The rising of costs

(B) Rising costs

(C) The rising cost

(D) Because the rising cost（C）

(E) Because of rising costs

C is the best choice. In choice A, The rising of costs is unidiomatic, and in B costs... has lacks subject-verb agreement. Choices D and E produce sentence fragments since Because makes the clause subordinate rather than independent.

150. In the mid-1960’s a newly installed radar warning system mistook the rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets.

(A) rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets

(B) rising of the moon for a massive Soviet missile attack

(C) moon rising to a massive missile attack by the Soviets

(D) moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack（B）

(E) rise of the moon as a massive Soviet missile attack

Choice B is best because it alone correctly handles the idiom to mistake x for y. Though choice D manages the correct preposition, for, the phrase the moon as it was rising for is less efficient and precise than the phrasing of choice B: since rising functions as a verb in D, the phrase for
                    a massive... attack now seems to modify rising rather than mistook. Choice C incorrectly uses mistook... to, and choices A and E incorrectly use mistake... as. Choice E also employs the nonidiomatic rise of the moon.

上两题中第一题说In choice A，The rising of costs is unidiomatic

               为什么第二题，THE RISING OF THE MOON 是对的呢 ？且OG解释说E also employs the nonidiomatic rise of the moon。THE RISE OF 又为什么不对呢？

看过前面的大牛们讨论，忍不住也来加一句。

52题的主语之所以不能是rising是因为句子的谓语时态是完成时。完成时的主语也要是一个完成了的或者长期存在的东西，而不能是一个正在进行的动作，所以不能用rising。这里主语是rise或者cost都是可以的。

前面有不少xdjm说了对称，中心词等解释，但是觉得都不是很好把握，或者说觉得还是有些牵强。另外，虽然字典上的例句大多都是the rise of或the rise in，但是毕竟the rising of这种形式在OG题目中也是作为正确选项出现过的，所以说rise有名词形式似乎也不太成为理由。还是很困惑呀！

抛开本题来说gjgjie提到的这个单复数问题，本来觉得很有道理，但是又看了看别的题目，好像这么说也不成立呀。分别看OG23和OG101:

OG23:

A Labor Department study states that the numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase in the past decade and accounted for more than sixty-two percent of the total growth in the civilian work force.

(A) numbers of women employed outside the home grew by more than a thirty-five percent increase

(B) numbers of women employed outside the home grew more than thirty-five percent

(C) numbers of women employed outside the home were raised by more than thirty-five percent

(D) number of women employed outside the home increased by more than thirty-five percent（D）

(E) number of women employed outside the home was raised by more than a thirty-five percent increase

Because a count of women employed outside the home at any given time will be expressed by a single number, the use of the plural noun numbers in choices A, B, and C is illogical.

OG101

Even though the direct costs of malpractice disputes
                amounts to a sum lower than one percent of the $541 billion the nation spent on health care last year, doctors say fear of lawsuits plays a major role in health-care inflation.

(A) amounts to a sum lower

(B) amounts to less

(C) amounted to less

(D) amounted to lower（C）

(E) amounted to a lower sum

这两题中of后面同是复数形式，但of之前一个用了单数number，一个用了复数costs。这样看来本题中costs of data-processing operations也不见得有错啊。困惑ing...

本题的 costs  是由后边的 has 来判断加不加S的, 而COST 是不是主语能不能由后边的has决定,又是的看它的逻辑意识决定的,所以不能单纯的看同一位置.

我同意你的说法

cjwbhu

我不同意上面的说法，完成时是可以表示持续进行的动作的。
