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.

1. B: has recently been attacked as dated and culturally biased is finally being revised
why B??  there is two verb in the setence....is the "culturally biased " a noun or any other explantions?

2. I think the answer should be A
"between 1889 and 1910 " is more idomatic than " between 1889 to 1910"

谢谢各位，祝位G友万事如意！


但我的备考感觉非常的奇怪， 我很难总结出什么。

我记得第一次看逻辑，把题目顺着，倒着都不太能看懂，
记得当时得6分钟一题，后来经常反反复复的做题和阅读，
感觉顺了一点，平均能在一分49秒以下。

语法也是， 刚开始OG也要错50%， OG的解释看了4遍后，
感得提高不太大。后来用了两个月看LZM（每天只看一章），
细细地体味， 现在总算能有点感觉了。

在看GRE的时候， 第一遍我每篇长文章要看一个小时，那长长
的句子非常骇人。 三四遍下来，单词，难句的掣肘似乎是已
overcome了，但是现在做阅读题仍没有得心应手的感觉，sign.
（我做KAPLAN的题，三次阅读的准确是：35% 55% 和65%）

我现在很难用语言来表达什么总结，只是觉得做题只是
变成了一种感觉。

每天我都在默默地忍受着身心的疲劳， 只希望能熬过这黎明
前的黑暗！

一道KAPLAN模考:
Researchers are studying plastics that dissolve at different rates, and they are finding that the so-called "quick disintegration" plastics are taking more time to deteriorate than (they originally seemed.)
B:they seemed originally
C:it seemed that they would originally
D:it originally seemed
E:it originally seemed they would.
答案是E.大家讨论一下.实在没有什么做题的头绪.

mike,答案是不是错了,应该是A吧?

mike1999

答案是E,写的绕来绕去的.反正好象也是说什么指代清楚的问题.

A是不是要在后面加上would？而且一般都说it seems sth. ...，或说sth. seems to be ...而不说sth. seems ... ，是不是这样理解？

Fish,

Does the test center in Xiamen begin to register for Toefl test? Do you have any further information?

好像是8月18.19报名，具体时间忘了，但是在8.8之后，你可以到厦大网站上的信息资源处看一看。
