天山真题 verbal 16

携隐

MM这么一说,我又想到一个A不成立的理由(我快变成找茬专家了)--vision的含义太广,不如envisioning表达明了......

关于指代,我纠正我上面的看法,同意his指代D,但是his指代D只有让B选项更明确--D在书中评论了各种老化学元素,also提出一种新的元素,这种元素他一直致力去寻找.

真是晕啊,这题到底选什么啊.

Xieyin xiao meimei,

I don't know why "含义太广" ? and why envisioning "表达明了......"?

See this from Longman:

an idea of what you think something should be like
vision of
He had a clear vision of how he hoped the company would develop.

Also, a theory or an artical can not be parallelled with a gerund, which expresses an idea of action. It's more suitable to be paralled with a noun "vision".  

B also contains another big flaw. "a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle " , following RB modifies " all chemistry", agree, right? But RB is a person, how can chemistry (a science subject) follow a person?

But in A, it uses "since RB" - refers to a period of time.

I wonder where these Tianshan zhen ti come from and who provided the keys

我又想到一个不可以把critique和vision并列的理由:

句子说,这本书是对过去所有B所提出的化学元素的评论,同时也评论了B所"展望"的一个化学元素(这个元素也是D一直在致力寻找的). MM对我这个解释没有问题吧? 好,A的问题就出在这里,它怎么能又是评论又是展望呢?这本书的主要内容是什么呢?它到底是在评论过去的化学元素,还是在谈论新的化学元素啊?评论老的元素不等于对新元素的探索啊.vision这里应该是critique的一个子集,不可以并列的.

携影的解释恰恰让我有所领悟，应该是as well as比 an also 在这里更加贴切。

正如OG213.所示

The Federalist papers, a strong defense of ...as well as an important body of work....

非常神似的一道题：一部作品，用两个同位语并列修饰．

用as well as修饰表示同一事物：所要表达的恰恰是"是评论又是展望"的意思呀

但是用and则有歧义，Ａ＋Ｂ的概念．

我不同意vision这里应该是critique的一个子集,不可以并列的,我觉得两者恰恰是题目想要表达的一本书所包含的两个方面.

我觉得A唯一的疑惑是since Robert Boyle的用法和following的区别,请大家继续讨论

To valarie, I download the tianshan zhenti from CD, you can search 天山 to find the document.

It's quite similar to GWD's zhenti

I prefer A to B.

The reason is, envision is a v., however, we need a n. here. Vision itself is a n., so it is better than envision+ing.

关于平行问题,我也很赞同.要我现在选答案,我不知道我会选哪个.也许我也会选A,因为A的错误看起来相对B要小一些,但是就事论事,vision和envisioning表达的不是一个意思.vision的展望,含有计划和自己可以掌控的意味,envision的展望,却是提出一个大家都没有意识到的前瞻性的远景的意思.

关于following,我觉得这是习惯表达问题,倒不一定是错误.

我觉得e挺好，逻辑上符合文章的意思，也没有明显的语法错误。

Ｅ前后不对称呀

Critiqueing是作为动词，envisioning是作为名词的
