Key：B

B：个人认为itshould remind sb that应该是没有问题的。。。
找到了一个句子，来自BBC NEWS：

It should remind us that our union has a way of -- over time -- becoming more, and not less,perfect -- more inclusive, more fair, more free.

另外，it指代investigation应该是没有问题的吧，这个investigation说使用S的人更加容易疲劳，那么这个investigation就remind doctors that。。。。

A: weighing the pros and cons of starting onstatins is important.有点头重脚轻，不如it is improtant to weigh ....好

C：应用remind that。。。；importance of
D：weigh应该是remind 的内容，不应该与其并列
E：when 与although同时出现在句中，句子结构错；Remind to do 不是idiom

选择C

1、will need 时态不对，排除A和B

2、D和E的can be，改变原文的意思，排除

我选C，remind sb of doing sth 是一个固定搭配。原句结构为although the investigation needs to be...., it ( the investigation) should remind doctors and patiences of weighing.....

用will need 和 needs 都可以。

选A

DE "can be..."与题意不符，排除。
BC的"it should..."里是deadly five，it离investigation太远，指代不明确，歧义。
A没有问题

晕晕的宝宝

有人选择D和E吗？貌似ABC都有人认领啦！

B

D、E后半句很恶心，直接就排除了
看原句的时候，发现写的...important
看OG发现，GMAC喜欢形式主语，找后半段发现B了

选(A)

我感觉g老师这题主要是考语义: preserve the intended meaning.


The original meaning is:
Although the investigation (that taking statins is bad) will need to be repeated, doctors and patients should be reminded that weighing the pros and cons of taking statins is important.  


my more stupid version :
Although the data (indicating that taking statins is bad) may not be representative, people should know that weighing the pros and cons is important.


然后纵向看选项，我先关注的是开头，确定排除是D/E，因为开头的can明显distorts the meaning. 原意是说the result will need to be repeated (i.e. this single data may not be representative to draw a definitive conclusion, therefore repeat is needed)，结果D/E的"can"改成了肯定的意思，认为the data can be repeated. C的开头感觉也有点改变原意，不过还不算坏，先留下它吧。


接下来关注的split是第2个分句开头，
(B)(C) it should remind doctors and patients
(A) doctors and patients should be reminded


根据(B)(C)的句意，"it" is supposed to refer to "the investigation"，也就是说(B)(C)表达的意思是这个研究是remind的主语. 而原句这里用的是passive voice，就说并不知道remind这个动作是谁干的（作者也并不想强调remind这个动作的发出者，只想强调这个动作的受体，也就是让医生病人be aware）. 所以这里的change of voice是不能被接受的！


就这么选了(A).


再看看g老师怎么出题的，发现这题似乎还有以下设置是hinge on the meaning：


(A) "reminded that weighing the pros and cons of starting on statins is important"
(B) "remind ... that it is important to weigh the pros and cons of starting on statins" 这个不算change the meaning，还可以接受
(C) "remind ... of weighing the importance on the pros and cons of starting on statins"  - distort the meaning! 原句是把pros and cons分别放到天平两边称重，这里是把"pros and cons"作为一个整体来称它们的"importance"的重量。
(D) "doctors and patients should be reminded and should weigh the importance"   这个简直太不能忍了，加了and变成了两件并列的事，这个出题思路是不是参照的OG12 #84(C)?
(E) "when doctors and patients start to use statins, they should be reminded to weigh the importance of" 这个意思也太离谱了，原句应该是说对starting这个行为weighing the pros and cons，这里是说等到start的时候才来remind to weigh the importance，这是对生命不负责啊！

呼唤g老师点评

A

好句子啊，真心很蛊惑
句子结构：Although the investigation / that people who ... were more likely ... than people who ... / will need to ..., Ds and Ps should be reminded that doing is important.

各选项排除：首先，根据句意，尽管前者还需要改进，后者仍需引起警惕。
will need to be, needs to be皆可，排除CD （打错了） DE
it should remind的用法不妥，具体听helr分析，排除BC

支持下神猴~~
神猴提醒我了，"it should remind"确实不妥，should表示moral obligation. However, the investigation itself cannot bear moral obligation. Only people or organization can.
The original meaning is that someone or some authority (whatever/whoever responsible) "should" (is morally obliged to) remind doctors and patients.

选A吧，读起来比较顺呐，DE有can 应该不对，BC的it表达赶脚好奇怪。。
