夜凉如水

建议选择E的看scorpio0001的分析

SuccessMBA08

以下是引用scorpio0001在2005-3-31 10:59:00的发言：

A一定为正确答案，比较两项：

A项：Discussion of greenhouse effects has usually focused on whether the Earth would warm and by how much, but climatologists have indicated all along that the most obvious effects, and those that would have the largest impact on people, would be extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess.

E项：Discussion of greenhouse effects has usually focused on whether the Earth would warm and by how much, but climatologists have indicated all along that
            extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, which are the most obvious effects, are those to impact the most on people.

A项：关于温室效应的讨论集中在...,但是气象学家指出最明显的效应是…

E项，关于温室效应的讨论集中在...,但是气象学家指出...是影响人们最大的。

很明显，A为正确选项。因为A紧紧围绕关于温室效应的讨论，用but来对比。而E项，but后的气象学家指出的东西与前面的不是一个问题。所以如果选E项，but就没有道理存在。

同意！句子意思很重要！！

为什么大家还在讨论E是否对，前半句和原句已经提示了虚拟语气，一定要would +  原型。我一上来就排除了C, E.

Discussion of greenhouse
effects has usually focused on whether the

    

Earth would warm and by how
much, but climatologists have indicated all

    

along that the most
obvious effects, and those that would have the larg-

    

est impact on people,
would be extremes of temperature, precipitation,

    

and storminess.

    

 

    

A.   the most obvious effects, and those that would have
the largest

    

impact
on people, would be extremes of temperature,

    

precipitation,
and storminess

    

B.    the effects that are the most obvious ones, extremes
of temper-

    

ature,
precipitation, and storminess, would be those impacting

    

the
most on people

    

C.    those effects to have the largest impact on people,
extremes of

    

temperature,
precipitation, and storminess, are what are the

    

most
obvious effects

    

D.   extremes of temperature, precipitation, and
storminess, the most

    

obvious
effects, that they would have the largest impact on people

    

E.    extremes of temperature, precipitation, and
storminess, which are

    

the
most obvious effects, are those to impact the most on people

我觉得E的which没有修饰歧义，因为用了are，那么肯定指代前面三项，不可能指代storminess。

我当初选了E，因为没仔细研究A和E在强调重心上的区别。然后把题目读了N遍，觉得：

A说the most obvious effect是那三项肯定的，但have the largest impact on people用了would，表示可能，不肯定。

E说那三项是肯定的the most obvious effects，而对于impact the most on people也是肯定的，少了would情态动词。

而且要结合未划线部分内容来看。前面说的是讨论温室效应有哪些effects。想像一下，大家都在讨论说温室效应产生了地球变暖这样一个effect，那么气候学家呢？逻辑上说气候学家应该说最明显的effect（也可能影响人们最多的）应该是极端气温，降雨和风暴这三项。如果气候学家冒出来句：极端气温，降雨和风暴这三个最明显的effects也可能影响人们最多，就有点驴头不对马嘴了。

另外前面有人说impact不能做动词，我查了longman，动、名词都可以：

做名词：an especially strong or powerful influence or effect caused or produced by an idea, invention, even etc.

        e.g. The computer has made/had a great impact on modern life.

做动词：to have an impact on

        e.g. These costs will impact on our profitability.

B错在the effects that are the most obvious ones罗嗦，可以直接用the most obvious effects，然后接同位语。但句意上和E犯了相同的错误。

C的句意与原文倒是符合，XXX是最明显的effects，但表达太罗嗦。

D作为indicate that的宾语从句，句子结构不完整。

同意LS的，E中对effect的描写用了一个非限制性定从，其侧重点在impact上，可是原文划线部分之前的句子根本没提到impact。
个人觉得除了一些GMAT特色的语法问题（如which的指代）外，A和E都没有语法问题，只能从逻辑上判断
欢迎大家指正

虽然我同意A,但是我想指出，storminess这个词是单数，E中的which指代是正确的。

A那个逗号实在是奇怪啊~

为什么这个时候忽略了：the most obvious effects 这里的歧义呢 ？

是： the most / obvious ?

还是： the most obvious / effect ?

同争议题：

14. GWD17-Q14: 争议

Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete
                                one day may be partners the next.

 

A.    Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in
                                    the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete

B.    Although the lines of competition are clearly defined in industries that are more established, they are blurred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as competing companies

C.    The lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, unlike the Internet where they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete

D.    Unlike more established industries, where the lines of competition are clearly defined, they are burred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as companies that compete

E.     Unlike more established industries, with clearly defined lines of competition, those of the Internet industry are blurred and indistinct, as competing companies

比较级不用the

1、more established industries: more到底是要修饰established还是industries?
                        因此产生修饰岐义: 体会此处的歧义

2、逻辑： A中成了“竞争”将partner公司了
                            

前后一致

这里就说有歧义啊。。。

求解啊

E中的those to impact是不是有表目的的意味？感觉换成those impacting会舒服很多。另外，我也同意E所强调的重心变了。但不同意which有指代问题，因为are限制了which只能指代extremes.

A中的and those that也有点怪，但好在能清楚明白要表达的意思。如果换成which，估计会比较好点。不知道有没有人知道这里用and those that和用which在意思上有什么区别？
