67. Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newbom children.

(A)  provide workers with unpaid leave so as to

(B)  to provide workers with unpaid leave so as to

(C)  provide workers with unpaid leave in order that they

(D)  to provide workers with unpaid leave so that they can （D）

(E)   provide workers with unpaid leave and

Choices A, C, and E are ungrammatical because, in this context, requiring ... employers must be followed by an infinitive. These options display additional faults: in A, so as to fails to specify that the workers receiving the leave will be the people caring for the infants and children; in order that they, as used in C, is imprecise and unidiomatic; and E says that the bill being debated would require the employers themselves to care for the children. Choice B offers the correct infinitive, to provide, but contains the faulty so as to. Choice D is best.

以前大家讨论过，见以下链接。

我的问题是，为什么在答案D中，"so that they can" 里的 they 没用代词指代不清的问题。我觉得在语法上和意义上，they 都可以指代"employers" and "workers". 所以我觉得D不好。

请指教！

2 ： 还有 OG171 ， 如果按照 ：so as to 后面的逻辑主语和句子主语一致的说法，OG171 的A 就SPECIFY WHO IS TO MARRY 了啊！但OG 说A -does not specify who is to marry

不理解！！

171

171. In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.

(A) so as to marry

(B) and so could be married to

(C) to be married to

(D) so that he could marry（D）

(E) in order that he would marry

OG67 如果不用they，就必然是歧义，就是employer去照顾孩子。

这类修饰的却时是很难区别。好像两种可能都是存在的。但是就我个人的理解，有时候题目的正确选项还是要讲究整个句子的逻辑性的，so that they can ---中的they从逻辑意义上理解是不肯能是employers去take care，而只可能是worker。

浅见薄识，大家讨论。

xiexie buddyk babypace

1 buddyk , 我问的问题是： 我觉得正确答案的 THEY 的指代 也有歧义啊！

2 BABYPACE ： 我说服我自己的唯一理由就是 - 在逻辑的意义上讲D 的THEY 是明确指向 WORKER 的！ 是不是只是这个样子判断的？

3： 我把171的问题再贴一下吧 好象大家都没看到！

paopao

OG 171  it is impossible for him to refer to queen. So i think the pron is clear in og 171.

To bobo

pls think the meaning in pron question

bobomomo

谢谢 PAOPAO ，恩！意思和逻辑关系决定和THEY 的指代是没有歧义的！

171， 本题主要是考so as to 与so that的区别，只要注意so as to 的使用条件，就可以马上排除；

首先说说情态动词与so that结合的用法：

so that＋情态动词 表示目的，不加情态动词表示结果，那么so that he could是正确的；

再说in order that he would marry： 表示结果；从逻辑上来判断，一个人不可能在取消婚姻的同时（我强调的是同时）将来娶一个女人（只有这个人是妖精，他才能跨越时空）

G_KEVIN

67题主要还是逻辑搭配，但对于做题来说，本人是如此处理的：

首先2/3分，联系为划线部分，马上去掉三个不合适选项，然后比较剩下两个，看到so as to 和so that，马上排除so as to选项。

仅供参考！！！

SO AS TO一定不如SO THAT？？有这么绝对么？？

还是得分析逻辑主语吧？

agree fbfamous

逻辑主语一致的时候，使用so as to，简洁一些

在逻辑主语不一致，并且含有cause-and-effect 的逻辑关系的时候，用so that较好
