43.Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many

are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
(A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
(B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million , and many
(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them
(D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many
(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom

疑问： C的 Them的指代哪里有问题呢？ 就People可以是一个复数啊!














48. It is called a sea, but the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, which covers more than four



times the surface area of its closest rival in size, North America’s Lake Superior.

(A) It is called a sea, but the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, which covers

(B) Although it is called a sea, actually the landlocked Caspian is the largest lake on Earth, which covers

(C) Though called a sea, the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, covering

(D) Though called a sea but it actually is the largest lake on Earth, the landlocked Caspian covers

(E) Despite being called a sea, the largest lake on Earth is actually the landlocked Caspian, covering

疑问： E的OG解释是：Despite being called asea indicates, somewhat
illogically, that the largest lake being called a sea would lead one to expect it not to be the Caspian. This makes little sense,especially to those who are familiar with the name Caspian Sea.
是什么意思啊？

52.To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,

and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence

agent for the Resistance.                                                              

(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate

(B) For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home

(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable

(D) Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home

(E) Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker

疑问：就是AB ，，OG说了To Josephine Baker 与 her是多余的的，为什么呢？？？意思理解不出来！

。。。。太多题目了

1.them的指代没有问题。。。OG的解释是从语法上说them没有指代，这里them的指代不存在任何意思上的问题；关键还是句意不对


2.这个你真得再看看，OG这里的解释相当精彩。。。。我不知道怎么表达出OG的意思。。。。sigh


3.中文理解：对我来说，巴黎是我家；对我来说，巴黎是家

对的，第一个them指代没什么问题吧，关键是加了一个and 把句子的从属意义变成了并列了；
第二个的OG 意思好像就是说，这样让别人误以为里海不是海，而最大的湖是海；但那些背景知识知道C这个东西是里海的就不会有这个误解，估计就是不一视同仁了,不符合GMAC的初衷；
第三个，是我自己中文表达就这么表达，所以看不出哪里啰嗦 = =！！！，这下要改了，对我来说，巴黎是我家。以前觉得很顺口啊，，，，，，，，，~~

谢谢，每次都是你来解答我， ；我现在在刷OG，每天10几个题目，看bat他们说有点问题就要发帖讨论，所以就问题比较多，真的谢谢你了，这下我不每天都发，仔细思考，有的就不发了，不然频率的确蛮高的；

有很多题目我的excel都是有总结的，你对应着看，因为都是国外的instructor的解答，所以一般都很好


再有不懂再发上来


大家相互讨论相互进步 PS：你第二题的理解不错，差不多就是这个意思了

(A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
(B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million , and many
(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them
(D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many

OG-C The reference of them is unclear and the expression is generally awkward.
OG 说有问题，就是有问题。

LZ 对比 （C）和（E）选项。

你发现C选项的them 指代的people 在两个介宾短语里面， in Laos with a population of only four million people，这个藏的也太深，感觉好像不太想让人发现。。 读句子快一点，你都不会留意到有people这个“指代对象”。

而且我们在看看C的写法，主干主语many of them去“指代” 非核心修饰语的名词“people”.
个人认为不妥。

因为非核心修饰语的一个重要特点是：删去该修饰语但不会影响句意，假如我们把“in Laos there is a population of only four million ”删去的话，them立刻就不知道指代是什么了，这对句意有影响，所以不对。

个人总结代词指代：
（1）有没有语法正确的指代对象 （单复数）
（2）指代对象语义是否模糊 （即多个语法正确，但语义不同的指代对象）
（3）指代对象的位置清晰，明确。（平行对称，主干和修饰，介宾短语）。

建议：排个版，把每道题分开发。 题目标清楚题号。

这样看到人会多些，

必须得同意你这个建议！！！我每次看到3.4道题一起问的都晕了

1.C是一个很怪的结构，but in Laos with a population of only four million people是可以修饰后面的many of them,导致整个many of them不知道指的啥。
2.the largest lake都 called sea,那Caspian是啥？
3.OG说是重复就是重复，其实还是句意的问题比较大。

hhc1102211

Despite being called a sea, the largest lake on Earth is actually the landlocked Caspian, covering

"despite being called a sea"只能修饰主语，在e选项里，那就是修饰the largest lake，而原句说的是Caspian被称为sea。
这么解释吧，原句的意思是，尽管caspian被称作海，其实caspian是地球上最大的湖
e的意思是，尽管地球上最大的湖被称作是海，其实这个最大的湖是caspian
e潜在含义是在说，caspian不被人们称作海
