GEMJ总结

关于代词的指代问题，我想下面几点是明确的：
1) 并无就近指代的规则，如果看到代词就将其等同于前面最靠近它的、在数上与其一致的名词，肯定是错误的。不仅如此，我们也不应该以就近指代的思路想问题；
2) 从句中的做主语的代词优先指代主句主语。这是ETS认可的规则。但注意是“优先”，不是“永远”，否则下面的句子就无法解释了；
12. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
3) 逻辑判定是无比重要的。如果“优先指代”使得句子不通，则需要通过逻辑来判定其指代的对象。当然，这也适合于没有“优先指代”规则可用的情况；
4) 我们不应该试图寻找（实际上也不存在）一条简单的、适用任何情况的通则来判定代词的指代对象。正因为如此，代词的指代问题才具有挑战性，代词指代才能成为ETS喜欢的考点。如果一条简单规则就可以搞定所有题目，那还有考的必要与价值吗？

（好比说前人曾提出的“就近指代”的规则就是一种寻求通则的尝试，但这肯定是错误的。在ETS的字典里，绝对没有这条规则）

OG中确实提到过关于"就近指代"的要求. 请看OG241的explanation,...Besides heat and light cannot logically modify the sun, the nearest noun, as grammar requires it to do. 就是说,根据语法要求, 应该修饰最近的名词. 这应该是个一般性原则,但不是绝对的.

按照这个说法，如果按照就近原则gmat中很多所谓的ambiguous就不ambiguous了。不过这里说的og241是介词短语放在句首的情况，能否推广到其他地方呢？个人仍觉得对就近原则应慎重，否则会错过很多gmat认为ambiguous的东西。

不明白，OG241里面哪有什么代词问题？

The two pronouns refer to two different things, because these two pronouns are present in main clause and as-clause.
