GWD11-Q14

[maronchen1103]

所以答案是A囉
這題我也是選A
這樣看來 banked無論是house or framework都解釋的通
只能看as high as 跟to a height of了
感覺被墊高到某一個高度....印象中都是用to a height of

(1)the tree grows to a height of 10 feet
強調長到那麼10feet高（形容grow）

(2)the tree grows as high as 10 feet
強調跟10feet一樣高（跟10feet比較高度）

我自己的感想啦
歡迎大家指教

[cheyen]

如果看as high as 跟to a height of的角度判斷的話
應該就是以語意來選答案了
有類似GWD 1-8
不知道大家有沒有印象

請問一下

(A)裡面的banked前面沒有be動詞的原因是?

(應該是被墊高的吧?)

謝謝!!!

謝謝!!!

banked跟前面的overlaid都是過去分詞
and是連接its framework....overlaid...,....,and banked...

應該是吧！
有錯請指正 謝謝

這題答案是D沒錯
as as並非比較兩各東西
這感覺就像是
more than+數字
各位應該是翻譯成 超過那各數字吧
more than 4 years
翻譯成 超過4年吧
這裡的as as就是這意思
但唯一的差異是
more than 是比較及比較
as as 是原級比較
這題我打包票跟你說D沒錯
各位看棺多指教

再補充一點
A. banked with dirt to a height of ...
D. was banked with dirt as high as three to four feet
她的意思是差不多的
重點在前面文意的對稱

[clarence]

看來獨立主格真的是ETS考倒眾人的利器
The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

如果是用D的話,中間的its framework of poles會變的很奇怪,因為只有做同位語才有在兩個動詞間插入的必要,所以即使不用真的很懂ETS老考的那些建築是如何,可以判定後面整串是獨立主格,說明房子被架構的framework,故兩個被動都可以不需be動詞.而且都加with,平行的滿漂亮的

這題不是已經有定論,A不是嗎?
CD和咖啡店的人都說新pp的答案是A耶~~

莫老師再最後一堂課指點出

dirt不會自己堆,所以應該用被動--was banked with dirt(which was) as high as.....
Answer:(D)

[dino001]

ha..ha...我終於懂了為什麼A會比D好~其實ivanchinang點出了個重點.The single-family house constructed by the Yana,....., 真正的V--->[was conical in shape, 只是插入句做為解釋"conical in shape"--->[its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pinThe single-family house constructed by the Yanae], 這裡才是真正平衡的地方--->[and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet

跟我的英文老師討論了半天~終於懂了
還有我的老師提醒了我
we don't say as high as that of X m
we would say as high as that of a man's head
小細節~哈哈哈~搞懂的感覺真好

Answer:(D)

我的課上莫北北是給A :Q（我是12月底完畢的）
D與E我記得莫北北的說法是那個was會造成流水句......

[nexxt0722]

原句
The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, and its framework of poles is overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and (is) banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

The single-family house-->S1
was-->V1

its framework of poles-->S2
is overlaid-->V2
(is) banked-->V3

and-->連結前後二個句子
and-->連接V2和V3

省略連接詞,主詞不同,必須保留,動詞主動改V-ing,被動改V-pp之後,形成所謂的獨立主格,也就變成題目的模樣了!

看了樓上各位大大的看法，我不認為這題是二個句子的連接，
原因如下：

原句：….,was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and

我覺得這裡的it’s framework…，是同位語解釋shape的事情，
並且bark（樹皮）逗點後的either.. or…，也是同位語修飾bark，是在講either 西洋杉or 松樹

原句應該是….,was conical in shape, its framework of poles (which are) overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and
整句的意思大既是：
這個被雅拿族建構的房子外形上是圓椎狀的，其被塗上西洋杉或松樹樹皮slabs的柱子架構，
並且（Ｄ）被墊高高達3~4英呎（(Ａ)並且墊高3~4英呎的高度）
【Ps.這裡的as high as 與各位翻的不太一樣，我認為應該是表：高達～】


這題我在選時，將Ａ＼Ｂ＼Ｃ歸一組；Ｄ＼Ｅ一組
看到, 【and……】就想到平行原則迅速將Ａ＼Ｂ＼Ｃ選刪掉
原因是：
in shape後面跟著同位語修飾講外形上的事情
看到劃線部份在講高度，
所以覺得是在講這個房子的二件事情
一個是外形；另一個是高度

至於Ｅ輸在that不知指代誰所以就get out
於是我就快選Ｄ，對答案時以為自己對了，但…
接著看到各位大大討論稿才發現這題又是爭議題..一點也高興不起來..

這裡Ａ＼Ｄ的句意都解釋的通，
我是覺得若是Ａ選逗點AND後的banked有沒有省略was的可能？
也就是(was) banked with dirt to a height of
這樣的話就符合平行原則，句意也順，

最後，我覺得ＥＴＳ最愛的還是平行原則吧..所以我還是支持Ｄ選..

還有最最最後…莫北北的課有誰是2006年3月後上課的，
因為看了一堆討論稿發現老莫的答案在2006年3月後的
又會推翻了以前的答案…，所以希望有在這段時間上課的同協多多幫忙~.~阿里阿豆

各位這題prep答案給A, 看來我錯了..
我想這題為A, 大概是因為逗點後面的部份都是在修飾其外形結構上的事
所以不好意思……….我這個笨蛋出來亂……真拍謝…

[bryce1116]

我也是選A
也是看了ｄ答案的句意覺得 was banked比較好
應該是跟conical平行
前面 was conical 後面 was banked （was不可省略 用法不同）

以上如有錯 多指教
