昨天做了KAPLAN的SC练习1, 发现语法中的词态和修饰把握得不好。请教大家有什么好办法能提高吗?
请教KAPLAN-SC-7,22 K-1-7 The M , a test developed in the 1930s to access acharacters, attitudes , and behaviors , is finally being revised , after many attacks recently as dated and culturally biased. A. is finally being revised , after many attacks recently as dated and culturally biased B. has recently been attacked as dated and culturally biased is finally being revised. C. Is finally under revision for receiving much recent attack as dated and culturally biased. D. Was finally revised recently because it is being attack as dated as culturally biased. E. Is finally to be revised after recent attacks as dated and culturally biased. Ans: B, I choose E, 我主要觉得B的后面的时态不对:is being revised
K-1-22 The poll taxes enacted in the Southern States between 1889 and 1910 disenfranchised many citizens , since payment of the tax was a prerequisite for voting. A. and 1910 disenfranchised many citizens, since B. to 1910 disenfranchised many citizens since C. and 1910 have disenfranchised many citizens since D. to 1910 has been disenfranchised many citizens become E. and 1910 had the effect of disenfranchising many citizens inasmuch as Ans: B, I choose C EX-K: “have” if you were talking about continuing action.You say “the recent poll taxes have disenfranchised many citizens “, but if you’re talking about action that started and finished in the past you simply say “the taxes disenfranchised many citizens”
但是,在OG中,since的主句一定是用完成时的,为什么这里不对呢?
谢谢。
1、I also ruled out the correct choice for the useage of "being" at first, but later i found that the key point of the question is to properly arrange the sequence of order of two actions--"attack" and "revise". Only B correctly uses a verb of perfect present and a verb of present tense, respectively,to convey a action that began in the past but last still now and a action with on-going nature.
2、The conjunction "since" here , which means "because", introduces a causal clause, not a clause indicating a period of time. |
