几年了都没看见有人对这个知识点进行系统总结

1.是否人做主语只能用aim at doing; 而物做主语(如:plan,act,policy),就既可以用aim at doing,也可以用be aimed at doing.

2.前面有人说:be aimed at doing 可以省略掉be,我对此深表怀疑:

    a.如果是修饰部分,例如:has followed a policy aimed at decreasing...     OK没问题

    b.如果是主句部分,例如:This plan is aimed at saving animals in the rain forests...    be还可以省略???!!!

实在不明啊,请NN为我们系统总结一下.

求证中...

看了各位大侠的讨论，依然不懂啊，此题为什么不能选E??请NN指教，先谢过：）

以下是引用paopao在2004-7-17 3:23:00的发言：

212. The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving the efficiency of its distribution system.

(A) aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving

(B) aimed at the decreasing of operating costs and to improve

(C) aiming at the decreasing of operating costs and improving

(D) the aim of which is the decreasing of operating costs and improving（A）

(E) with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve

The best choice, A, offers an adjective phrase (aimed at 是形容词短语，不是动词过去分词) unequivocally modifying policy and exhibiting grammatical parallelism (decreasing... and improving).
            （名词+形容词短语，形容词短语修饰该名词）In choice B, the gerund the decreasing is not grammatically parallel with the infinitive to improve. Likewise, in C and D, the decreasing of... costs is not parallel with improving the efficiency. In E, the infinitives to decrease and to improve, while parallel, are less idiomatic than the prepositional phrase of decreasing... and improving in modifying the noun aim.
            （固定用法：with the aim of doing 错误用法：with the aim to ）Also, with the aim... improve can easily be construed as referring to the Baldrick Manufacturing Company and so does not refer unequivocally to policy. （？？？）

            with the aim... improve can easily be construed as referring to the Baldrick Manufacturing Company and so does not refer unequivocally to policy. （？？？）

1这个介词结构前 紧跟一个名词 应该是修饰没有歧义的 为何不对

类似的OG179 Native Americans , with their intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land ,修饰的就是前面的主语

2如果这题有歧义的话

另一题

146. A patient accusing a doctor of malpractice will find it difficult to prove damage if there is a lack of some other doctor to testify about proper medical procedures.

(A) if there is a lack of some other doctor to testify

(B) unless there will be another doctor to testify

(C) without another doctor’s testimony

(D) should there be no testimony from some other doctor（C）

(E) lacking another doctor to testify

C前面也有一个名词 为何不说这题也有歧义呢

谢谢
