大全181

[raymangg]

(附帶一提, 這樣應該要簡化成as anyone ever had比較好...)
我認為這邊不能省掉 , 不然ever找不到修飾的對象
總不能叫ever修飾助動詞have吧
所以整體來說
A確實是錯誤較少
以上

另外我查到頻率副詞可以放在
1.動詞前
2.句首
(賴水信高分托福文法第12章)
所以BC答案我不敢選 , 只好選A

有錯請指正 , 謝謝

原題重現一下:
181.Bob Wilber became Sidney Bechet’s student and protégé when he was nineteen and, for a few years in the 1940’s, came as close to being a carbon copy of the jazz virtuoso in performance as anyone has ever come.
(A) as anyone has ever come
(B) as anyone ever had been
(C) as anyone ever had done
(D) that anyone ever did
(E) that anyone ever came

as ... as => (A) (B) (C) 選一個
(C) had done; had 本身就可以當過去完成式的代動詞: had = had come.
(B) as ... as 比較的動詞是 came, 不是 be 動詞.
剩下 (A) 可以選
(A) 設想 BW 幾近為jazz大師是再當時的時空背景下作的比較, 用現在完成式頗為牽強, 想像當時的過去延伸到未來的現在, 還用 ever(至今, 今=當時,過去也)!不過語言是活的,藉此來猜測老美操弄時態的心境. 此句講到BW的事蹟迫使作者用過去式,但是如果作者想拿他跟自古至今的人相比,現在完成式就出現了.也許就是這樣吧! 比較沒有規定只能在相同的時態下相比.

這一題讓人想起倒垃圾那一題:
2. A 1972 agreement between Canada and the United States reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump into the Great Lakes.
(A) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump
(B) reduced the phosphate amount that municipalities had been dumping
(C) reduces the phosphate amount municipalities have been allowed to dump
(D) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump
(E) reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities


Answer : (D)
