第一题怎么解析，有什么一剑封喉的解法？
第二道比较前没有in,比较后怎么出现了in?

MIKE,

第二题，比较 的是last year ,in other year ，时间状语的比较， 你不能从形式来看，而就从意思上。

lyricling

这是两道很好的考查“修饰语”与“平行结构的题。（个人觉得，这两部分的内容涵盖了GMAT语法的绝大部分内容。）

谈谈偶的一点想法，大牛们来批评：

第一题，关键要看相比较的两个对象形式是否对称。
本题比较的对象是views of France's Socialist president 与views of his predecessor.依据这一点，可以排除B与C。
D与E项的这种修饰结构：France's Socialist president's views 是不严谨，有歧义的。因为France's可以修饰Socialist president's ，也可以修饰vies.依据这一点可以排除这两项。

第二题：The rate of increase 。。。。。and the rate of increase for Black，本题应该符合平行结构的要求。所以可入选的只有A与C项。
C项的nationwide 位置不对，按照句意，它应该修饰Black elected officiales，借此可排除c项。

如果一定从比较出发来突破的话，我的感觉是：
1、比较对象是the views of France's Socialist president和the views of his predecessor; 比的是哪个are more compatible with views of President Reagan's，，选项是否具有可比性; 比程度. 确定了这些后再比较选项。B中的SEEM同THAN后的WERE根本不一致。C改变了句子意思，不知道怎么比了。D、E还是比较对象变了。所以搞清谁和谁比最重要。
2、比较对象是The rate of increase ... last year 和 The rate of increase ... any other year，其实不管是在比较后面加个in , of, 或者什么其他的东东，只要表明的是那些年的东东就可以了，比较对象就对等了，所以只有A、B表达了这个意思。其他全部都是the rate of ...在同any other year比，根本就没法比。在A和B间的选择就是另外一层的句子意思的理解了。似乎不是很费劲。
我的感觉，参考

一点疑惑 ~_~

以下是引用lyricling在2003-6-29 17:48:00的发言：

为什么能排除c呢？c的比较对象是什么？如果a可以用Mr. Reagan's ,那为什么c不可以用his predecessor's 呢？

第二题：比较对象是year。即：比较是在last year和any other year两个状语之间展开的。last year是副词，前面不可有介词；any other year是名词，为了变成状语与last year对等，前面需要加介词。

如果逐句中用的不是last year，而是in 1977之类的时间壮语，本题就没有任何困惑了。

C.需要do作为省略形式

为什么能排除c呢？c的比较对象是什么？如果a可以用Mr. Reagan's ,那为什么c不可以用his predecessor's 呢？

I share the same problem with siebel.Could u please help me? Thanks.

这里涉及的是一个所有格的问题，一般特定人名后只能用所有格，如，Frank's car；
但表示人或者其他生物的名词后可以用所有格，也可用of结构代替， 如 the voice of a man= a man's voice;

所以由此可见C的问题不是用错了his predecessors', 而是those of President Reagan用法不对，并且还有其他的问题：比如redundency of "seem".

至于说为什么A前后没用一样所有格，我个人认为可能是因为作者tend to avoid duplication of the same form in one sentence.

请nn们指正！

tocean,

those of President Reagan 也符合表示人或者其他生物的名词后可以用所有格，也可用of结构代替，哪里不对了？

另外，SEEM的用法也对啊？

谢谢。
