The loan company announced it would soon lend money to borrowers with proven records of their not paying back their loans on time, collectively known as the subprime lending market.
A. of their not paying back their loans on time,
B. of not paying back their loans on time, a group
C. of not paying back their loans on time, with such a group
D. that they do not pay back their loans on time,
E. that they do not pay back their loans on time, such a group
根据答案里面说的Records of sth. 固定搭配确实能排除然后选出正确答案B,但是没有人觉得有问题吗?subprime lending market如果指代loans比指代borrowers(即 同位语a group)更make sense吗?可以说贷款是一个blabla市场,可是借款人怎么能被认为是市场呢?
1)名词,名词 (其中一个是同位语)
Eg: Tom, the Russian painter, likes eating ice cream. 很简单,后一个名词是前一个名词的同位语,补充解释前一个名词
2)抽象名词(theory/evidence/belief/principle)+that从句
Eg: Many scientists agree with the theory that people lose weight after exercise. 句中theory是一个抽象名词,that从句是该theory的内容。注意:这里是同位语从句,而不是定语从句。同位语从句和定语从句的最大差别是:同位语从句中that不充当句子的任何成分,而定语从句的that必定会充当句子的成分,要么是主语,要么是宾语。
3)短语/句子,概括性名词+that从句/ing分词/ed分词
Eg: The scientists discovered whale-fish bones in the Arctic, findings that prove the existence of whale-fish. 句中findings是前面整个句子的概括
如果知道了这个,那只能选B,因为A明显不能选,“逗号 collectively known as the subprime lending market”这样的过去分词结构,只能修饰前面紧挨着的名词time。除此之外不能修饰任何词,具体过去分词和现在分词可以修饰哪些位置的词可以参见Manhattan SC。
