baby姐基本功扎实呀~~刚吃完饭回来,缓缓再仔细想想~
咱从头说,什么叫做adverbial modifier? 是修饰clause/sentence的,而决定clause/sentence的标志,就是verb. btw.所以英语里叫做 adverb: ad - verb 通常我们说comma + v-ing是adverbial modifier, 修饰previous clause的 这里,仍然是adverbial modifier,修饰的是" doctors to see more patients" that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending ... 你可以认为这里: subject = doctors verb = to see (more patients) 所以" doctors to see more patients"主谓齐全,可以相当于一个clause. 或者你也可以按我上面的理解,一个clause的核心是verb,这里"spending ..."就是修饰前面的verb "see" 我承认以上的解释是事后诸葛,这道题的take-home是,v-ing是可以修饰类似clause的咚咚的。 这里require doctors to see more patients类似于require that doctors see more patients这两个highlight部分是等效的,只是说第一个是idiomatic usage而已 但这题,就算是我不知道以上,也能得到D选项。 先排除A/B. 因为imposing相当于"that are imposing",时态不对。 然后剩下的,C和E的平行存在严重逻辑错误。就得到D了,D的逻辑说得通
Q32: PP61. Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend less time with each.A. imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spendB. imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spendingC. that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spendD. that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spendingE. that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending (D) 正确,that引导定语从句修饰紧临的名词plans,说明plans的内容,impose and require是定语从句的并列谓语,现在分词spending作see的伴随状语。 为什么spending作see的伴随状语,而不是require的伴随状语?我觉得从语法上看,应该是做require的伴随状语的,那么逻辑就说不通了
