Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were relatively simple and static, Barbara McClintock adhered to her own more complicated ideas about how genes might operate, and in 1983, at the age of 81, was awarded a Nobel Prize for her discovery that the genes in corn are capable of moving from one chromosomal site to another.

31. Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were relatively simple and static, Barbara McClintock adhered to her own more complicated ideas about how genes might operate, and in 1983, at the age of 81, was awarded a Nobel Prize for her discovery that the genes in corn are capable of moving from one chromosomal site to another.
(A) Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that genes were
(B) Although many of her colleagues were of the conviction of genes being
(C) Contrary to many of her colleagues being convinced that genes were
(D) Even though many of her colleagues were convinced that genes were
(E) Even with many of her colleagues convinced of genes being


知道D是对的,A是错的,B太wordy,但是C和E呢,不觉得很wordy啊

看了好多,感觉还是有点不清楚,又查了独立主格,最后总结一点自己的理解:

1.(A) 是因为 unlike引出了一个unparalleled对比——conviction和人
2. (C) 如上所说, contrary只能修饰抽象名词,如:idea,opinion,belief等
3.剩下的选项,其中 (B)(D)是用了从句形式,(E)是一个独立主格。从语法作用上来讲,这两种形式都可以。那我们逐个来看:
   * 独立主格是一个n.+n. modifier 形成的一个修饰main clause的结构。这里的n.和主句的主语不一样,所以叫独立主格。
   *(E)的句子结构从语法上来说是正确的 n. (many of her colleagues) + n. modifier (convinced of...构成的分词短语)。
   *问题在于,这样的结构排下来,convinced of后又要加一个名词 (be convinced of +n.) 所以就构成了后面又有一个
     genes being...所以整个结构显得非常wordy and indirect. 对于convince, 这里用be convinced that更简单,明了。
   *剩下(B)和(D),同样,(B)中:a. were of the conviction相比于 be convinced 要wordy.  b. 由于后面还有一长串内
    容(relatively simple and static), 所以用conviction of 或be convicted of都不如把它放进一个that从句中简单。
4.所以就剩下(D)怎么看怎么顺眼。。。

不觉得WORDY的意思就一定对吗?选了选项后请读下句子。

OG上只指出了wordy这个错误,我才这样问的。。。。那能帮我分析下C和E错在哪儿吗

C中为什么要用being呢? contrary用法有问题
E这个结构完全不对,

看了几篇OG13这题的回答都差强人意,查了下后谈谈自己的理解
根据OG的解释,这篇文章的选项区分的关键在于前半句做状语太长,因此要选一个较简化的形式
其中前半句结构分为两层来解决wordy的问题
第一层是从划线句整句话来看的,前半句用状语形式还是用although/even though之类的从属连词连接成为一个单独的句子?后者显然优于一个even with +一个用很长的修饰语修饰的名词colleagues

第二层就是只看状语从句后的后半段,convinced的用法,convinced被动状态下有两种用法
一是 sb be convinced of +n 另一个是sb be convinced that+句子
由于genes are relatively simple and static 其实很长,所以最好用that+句子的方式连接,用genes being simple会显得定语很长很奇怪。 两部分的wordy思路其实是一样的

因此根据第一层选择可以排除C 根据第二层选择可以排除E

BTW,我当时误选了C,因为一看到 unlike 就下意识的去考虑”主语对等“这个考点了...
接着就去查了下contrary to 的用法,“其实这是Contrary本身的定义决定了它只能修饰抽象名词。注意,这里的定义是指英文原文定义,而不是中文的字面意思。According to LONGMAN Dictionary of Contemporary English电子版对Contrary的定义:contrary ideas, opinions, or actions are completely different and opposed to each other。”

但我觉得,如果这里有个选项是“ Unlike  many of her colleagues who held conviction that genes were",应该也是对的吧。
