 This comparative
neglect of Westinghouse is
consistent with other recent historians’
works, although it marks an intriguing
departure from the prevailing view
during the inventors’ lifetimes (and for
decades afterward) of Edison and
Westinghouse as the two “pioneer
innovators” of the electrical industry.

那位能把這句劃線部分的結構作個說明? 謝謝先.

還有,"it"指什麼?

我认为it指代comparative neglect of W

我选C，在M-W上intriguing是这样解释的： engaging the interest to a marked degree : FASCINATING

与suprising相去甚远，更带有一点故意，预谋的味道，与reflective倒是有点相似

My recent reevaluation of Westing-

house, facilitated by materials found

in railroad archives, suggests that

while Westinghouse and Edison shared

important traits as inventors,

是不是应该是这里啊？该选E，我也选了B，哭

这篇文章很诡异，按照公布的标准答案我三道题都做错，虽然文章看懂了。

第五题仔细想来B和E好像都有道理，但如果在考场上我坚决选B，坚持新东方传统观点：新老观点对比型文章首段however后边是主题句，主题从前不从后，第二段属于延伸性无关内容。"However, Hughes virtually ignores Edison’s famous contemporary and notorious adversary in the field of electric light and power,George Westinghouse. "

第六题，没什么好说的，定位于"For Edison as an inventor, novelty was always paramount",如果paramount认得就不会错了

第七题，定位于一段末句，但到底是选C还是选E呢？想了半天都没明白，似乎2个都对。希望NN指教。

第5题还是觉得E更好, 作者的态度是倾向于赞扬W的,

1) However, Hughes virtually ignores Edison’s famous contemporary and notorious adversary in the field of electric light and power,George Westinghouse

2) My recent reevaluation suggests that while W and E shared important traits as inventors, they differed markedly in their approach to ----- 总分式写法！！！！

----- For E , ….. . W, however, … W thus

Westinghouse

(40)                thus better exemplifies the systematic

approach to technological development

that would become a hallmark of modern

corporate research and development.

作者更多的是在provide a fresh perspective of W

Q7:

C选项从严格上讲有问题: C说的是现代人对前人观点的忽略的一种反映.

我觉的C里的neglect有问题; 原文说现代人只是 对前人的观点的部分忽略不是全部.C没有把部分忽略体现出来.

原文说: 前人认为WH和爱都很有名.  而现代人只认为爱有名而忽略了WH. 所以不能全否,因为现代人还是认为爱有名的,这和前人的观点一样,在这点上,现代人没有忽略前人的观点.

以下是引用ring_cheng在2005-7-22 18:51:00的发言：

C说的是H忽视了以前（也就是爱迪生时期的）的（对爱及W的）观点；

而文中说的是：虽然H的新观点很有意思，因为他的观点与当时普遍认为爱与W都是先锋发明家的观点相背，但H作家还是忽视了W的贡献（而不是忽视前人的观点）

C是看似改写的混淆选项。

 This comparative neglect of Westinghouse is   这里有提到neglect, 并且是说H的观点与其它历史学家的研究一致

非常認同, 說的真好.

Q7:

個人認為, 文中是說: E & W那時代的人, 都視這兩位發明家為pioneer; 而後人H的書中卻提出了不同的觀點 - 也就是強調E而忽略W

->所以才會有E選項中的"surprising", 因為即使W在他的年代都已經在獲得了人們的肯定, H卻把他忽略了.

文中完全沒有透露C選項中的"H忽略前人的觀點", H只是有點"故意的"提出"不同"的觀點, (這觀點又剛好跟近代史家的觀點很像)

第5题我还是觉得应该选B.E中的refresh无法在原文中找到定位,而且第一段中最后一句话: although it marks an intriguing departure from the prevailing view during the inventors’ lifetimes (and for decades afterward) of Edison and Westinghouse as the two “pioneer innovators ” of the electrical industry.能够看出作者后边论述的观点是原来的E和W同时代的评论家们一直推崇的,怎么能说是fresh的呢?

happydongxi

等等,我突然想明白了:E和W同时代的评论家们的想法也是作者刚刚发现的,所以相对于现在而言这是个新想法.好绕啊,出题方好狡猾!!!
