Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend less time with each.
Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle, saying that their compliance with lawsrequring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.
正确答案是:requring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting.
其中有个错误选项是这样的:that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets are protecting.很困惑为啥在这里不能用that从句呢,而要替换成requring的形式,而且原句在requring后有that,这不就正好是用that从句来说明require的内容吗??为什么在正确答案中又要去掉that呢???
关于代词指代的问题。
1. 如果两个句子用一个连词连接,第二个句子的主语是代词,那么应该是指代第一个句子的主语
Marry wants to go shopping with Lily's mother, but she has to finish her work. 显然,这里的her指代的是主句的主语Marry,而不是Lily' mother.
2. 一般不要只是因为代词可能指代不清就排除一个答案,一个错误选项应该会有其他的考点。除非代词错误的特别明显,才用这个方法。看看这条解释吧:http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/post40400.html#p40400
3. 关于and连接的问题,你最好举个例子。我觉得要看连接的成分,最好是先看原句,根据逻辑和语法来推测出来,因为有的时候错误选项可能会把两个不相干的成分当做平行结构。有一道题很有迷惑性的。

Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend less time with each.
(A) imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend
(B) imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spending
(C) that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spend
(D) that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending
(E) that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending
正确选项为D,因为impose 和require平行修饰plan,但是spend的发出者应该是doctors,所以作为现在分词修饰前面一句,即医生在看更多病人的同时,减少在每个病人身上花费的时间。
这里的that省略了啊,因为that实际上指代insurance plans,后面的并列谓语impose and require。
比方说: I have many friends who work in Beijing and live in Tianjin. 这里如果在Live前面添加who,虽然也是平行,但是感觉多余了。
