真心请教OG12上的两道语法题

gaofaithfish

这两题偶用搜索引擎在站内搜过，可貌似大家和偶存在的疑问不一样的说……

一个是语法的51题
51. A new study suggests that the conversational pace of everyday life may be so brisk it hampers theability of some children for distinguishing discrete sounds and words and,the result is, to make sense of speech.

(A) it hampers theability of some children for distinguishing discrete sounds and words and, theresult is, to make

(B) that it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words and, as aresult, to make

(C) that it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words and, theresult of this, they are unable to make

(D) that it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words, and results in not making

(E) as to hamperthe ability of some children for distinguishing discrete sounds and words,resulting in being unable to make




我选的是D,OG 上面说and results in not making这句话的中心变了，而且对于正确的B，总感觉如果把主干剥离出来那不就是
the conversational pace may be so brisk
that it hampers the ability to distinguish discrete sounds and words and to make
sense of speech.



这一个ability能一直管到后面的那个to？而且原来的句子中放入了那么多插入语还有as  a result 什么的，让B的答案一读就觉得 to make
sense of speech是在说“结果是，（能）理解演讲的意思” ，感觉好别扭吖！！！

求解~~~~(>_<)~~~~

还有一题是：
66.The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.
(A)include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is
(B)include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and
(C)include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being
(D)includes the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
(E)includes the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is
答案：A
偶滴问题不是那些long 和big 什么的，就是想说答案A里那个can grow to be 30 feet long，干嘛要加那个be呢？这里就不wordy了么？偶当时选的是C……


谢谢各位大侠~~~回答好问题的童鞋偶每天像真主上帝如来佛祖祷告，祝你750+和6分作文~~~~(>_<)~~~~ ~~

偶来试试

51题，其他三个选项比较容易排除。就讨论B和D

B：so that句型， hamper the ability of sb to do 搭配， as a result,这是一个插入语，楼主觉得这个有些wordy其实很正常，因为GMAC经常故意添加标点符号，把整个句子拆成几个部分来混淆咱们，而且大部分时候这些选项确实是在句子机构上范了错误或者因为过于wordy而被排除。但是这个句子中as a result 的加入导致句子fragment或者其他错误，反而显得是必要的，因为只有先hamper ability of sb to distinguish discrete sounds and words才能呈现hamper。。。 to make sense of speech.所以这是一个前后因果关系，所以用and 连接，并且需要as a result.

D:前半句是对滴，后面results in not making的主语就出现了混淆，是it 还是conversational pace of everyday life，或者楼主自己想象的是前面整个it hampersthe ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words。从逻辑上来说，肯定是最后一个，但是这显然是不合语法的，因为如果是表示结果，也应该用resulting in而不是用一个并列的and result in 来表达。而且本题更加倾向于一种时序上的因果联系，而不是前面整个句子导致后面一个结果。所以B是最合理的。 虽然这里听起来有点马后炮！

其实楼主在这个问题上犯难也是可以理解的，我也经常犯这样的错误，原因是把句子形式看得重要，很多大牛的总结是SC还是句意为王，然后看哪个句子更简洁，更能清楚表达句意。

66题：
如果A是wordy的，那C选项的being不就更wordy？
C选项中growing 和being是并列的没错，而且是对称的，但是现在分词放在句末有两种可能，1、表示伴随修饰主句谓语，2、表示结果。而这里句子的意思显然是用grow和is用来修饰前面的killer whale。现在分词只有在句中的时候才有可能修饰就近名词，而且需要保证没有引起歧义修饰后面句子。
这个题目楼主还是太过于追求句子的形式而忽略了其所表达的意思。
至于A的grow to be，我也不知道怎么解释，但是至少其他选项错得都很离谱！

希望可以帮到你，哈哈

刚才只是先道谢了，现在好好又看了一遍：

第51题：您的意思就是这两个虽说是并列的，但同时也有因果关系在里面，所以as a result 和and 就同时使用了？额，这样在英语语法里是可以的？还是有点别扭的感觉的说……

and 是一定要用的，因为要把to distinguish 和 to make 弄成平行，他们两个同享前面的hampers。
as a result纯粹是为了反应他们两个之间的因果关系，所以加进去。

“
我选的是D,OG 上面说and results in not making这句话的中心变了，而且对于正确的B，总感觉如果把主干剥离出来那不就是
the conversational pace may be so brisk
that it hampers the ability to distinguish discrete sounds and words and to make
sense of speech.
”

对于B，把平行拆开来就是 it hampers the ability to... and (it hampers the ability) to make...

对于D，OG里说重点变了。原因是这个结构把results和hampers弄成平行了！变成了it hampers..., and (it) results
这里的it指代the conversational pace, 问题是并不是the conversational pace本身results in not making sense of speech, 而是先hampers the ability从而导致not making sense of speech
到底什么导致了什么，有本质区别。
