OG128

128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of producing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties.

requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties
requirements by earlier high-yielding varieties of application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation
requirements for application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties
application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties
irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties
Choice E, the best answer, clearly and grammatically expresses the idea that two costly procedures, irrigation and the application of... fertilizer, were required by earlier high-yielding varieties of rice. In A, the placement of by earlier... varieties immediately after application of fertilizer suggests that the varieties applied the fertilizer. In B and D, the phrase application of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations. In C, only irrigation--not both irrigation and fertilization--is clearly associated with the earlier... varieties of rice


D为何不好？E也有歧义:costly is used to modfify irrigation or applcation or both?

能不能结合修饰，分析一下这几个选项？谢谢。

Thanks .

其实E从后面的are required....就可以看出，前面的irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer 是复合主语，是一整体概念，所以costly对它们的修饰应该是没有歧义的！
joy,很多时候是要从助动词部分来确定答案的，关键还是那个hn！

老麦，你的kaplan下载完了吗？我这边怎下再了一个文件就说time expired啊？
怎么打开啊？

还没下好,这个FTP速度很慢,如果你不是宽带的话,可能会出现超时的问题.不过我这里的速度也很慢,虽然是宽带,才5K不到.

谢谢。我最近在抠修饰，有点走火入魔了。

早上做了一套PRINCETON，750，但我怎么觉得算分标准不大一样。
一道数学请教一下：
31. For every dollar of sales charged to a certain bank credit card, a department store must pay $0.003 to the bank that issued the credit card. What percent of the departant store's sale transactions last month were credit card transaction?
(1) The store made 2000 sales last month.
(2) The store took in a total of $250,000 last month and paid $300 to the bank that issued the credit card.
答案是E， 我选B，我觉得B可以求出信用卡交易占总交易的百分比的？

数学的粗心的毛病可怎么改啊，再简单的题总要错个2－3个，而且都做过了。真是气人啊。

mike1999

fish的题目我也不清楚,难道是文字游戏?
joy也不要担心,错2-3个还有50分呢.

我觉得题目是问transaction数量的比，而b说的credit transaction和总量的交易金额，因为这并不能确定credit transaction的数量，可能300刀是一笔交易产生的呢？
