Q18:
The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.

A. to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to
B. to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them
C. for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to
D. with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to
E. in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to

答案是(C)
這題都沒人問啊
很簡單嗎
不好意思請指教

不應該用TO代表IN ORDER TO嗎??

[auguding]

頂一下~~

[hsudk]

在一般的狀況下，的確用 to+V. 比 for+V-ing來得好，不過這題選C的原因不是因為to 跟 for 的差別。
(A)(B)中的 that 和 which 指代產生邏輯錯誤
(D)中 with 修飾錯誤
(E)中 hoping 後少了 that；故選(C)

[auguding]

不好意思我還是不太懂(A)(B)錯的地方
(A)THAT只MEASUREMENTS嗎..那不能因為MEASUREMENTS去ENABLE嗎
(B)WHICH不能指代前面一整句嗎

[hsudk]

(A)(B)的錯誤可以由幾個方面來看：
1. 從slowly前面的逗號來看，slowly moving ... 是個插入句，後面應該有另一個逗號=>(A)X
2. measurements 本身不會使科學家們去做什麼事，而是spacecraft在軌道上繞這件事才會使他們了解solar system ...

SC永遠是句意為上。

[giraffe]

個人意見 僅供參考
I vote for (A)
because I think measurement can enable scientists to understand .....@#$@#.......

If this concept is correct, the comma will not be necessary anymore.


==== from CD ======
支持A,在NASA的主頁看到如下句子：

"It will be the analysis of this 3-D viewing that scientists hope will enable them to better predict the sun's coronal mass ejections, whose solar radiation affect our communications and power grids. "
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stere ... radio.html

[kikhorse]

哇 CD的人竟然找的出NASA的句子 也太猛了吧
btw, 我也選A
C直覺覺得for making 很怪, 還有and 和誰平衡?

[kaori110]

是我看錯了嗎 A是run-on sentence

The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year,
slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.

will orbit 和 will enable 中間沒有連詞阿
我應該沒看錯吧

[A級垂耳兔]

我認為答案是E....偷看到莫老師修辭專班解答也是E...雖然沒上過這題...
不過憑著七分句意直接幹掉A.B.C....太空船靠近小行星是為了更準確測量...
並不是為了永遠準確測量...ever more的意思是始終....非比較級...
若認為是比較級...那than在哪?
答案A中that子句主詞動詞受詞完整...是名詞子句表同位
但顯然測量與that子句完全扯不上關係...
答案C表目的用to....除非for前面的名詞能作for後面的動作才能表目的...在此顯然不行...
答案D看到前四個字就知道不會是正確答案....

支持A

Q18:
The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.

A. to make ever more precise measurements (that scientists hope) will enable them to
我想hope在這裡是動詞,動詞加助動詞還沒看過這樣的用法,to 不定詞不應該接句子
若hope是名詞,當作will的主詞,句意怪異

B. to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them
ever more and more --> redundancy; 一般表述用簡單式即可, 用現在進行式,不佳

C. for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to
for 可以表因為, 解釋為什麼要繞Eros一年,
and 與 the NEAR spacecraft 平行,
ever more 修飾precise , 要做出更加精確的數據
有比較級出現不一定要加than, 有時候是省略
ex: I can lead a better life.

D. with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to
and which 沒有平行物, which不知道代誰
with the purpose of --> redundancy

E. in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to
than it ever did --> redundancy; than ever 是慣用語;are hoping --> hope

Therefore, I would vote for C.

Q18:

A. to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to
我想hope在這裡是動詞,動詞加助動詞還沒看過這樣的用法,to 不定詞不應該接句子.若hope是名詞,當作will的主詞,句意怪異
我原本也覺得scientists hope在這邊很奇怪...怎麼看都不對勁..後來看到對岸說是插入句...又上一些英文網站看例句...是有這種用法沒錯...考古題其實也很多這種插入句...只是考古題比較清楚...會前後打逗號....如果插入句文法沒錯..我想答案A.句意是最通順的了~~~


C. for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to
for 可以表因為, 解釋為什麼要繞Eros一年,
and 與 the NEAR spacecraft 平行,
ever more 修飾precise , 要做出更加精確的數據
有比較級出現不一定要加than, 有時候是省略
ex: I can lead a better life.
表目的還是要用to..用for除非是前面名詞可做接下來的動作(一樣也是表目的)..
請詳莫老筆記...本句應該是含動詞的整個動作to make..而非object 去for making...
而且我非常同意對岸說的....本答案後面用and切斷了原句的因果關係...
而且看到measurements...一定會問你是"什麼measurements"
看到這種字下意識後面就是要加that說明

E. in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to
than it ever did --> redundancy; than ever 是慣用語;are hoping --> hope
同意...hope後來想想沒看過有進行式的...D.E都改變句意

最後屈服於A.

[PureRay]

A. to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope　will enable them to

我是想成限定用法的關係代名詞

to make ever more precise measurements

scientists hope the measurements will enable them to understand....

想請教一下B選項

除了ever more and more很怪之外，which代替measurement有沒有錯？我想說這裡又不是要修飾整句，這樣用應該沒問題吧？

[hwatai]

就句意來說，CE的and，把前後句的因果關係切斷，不能選
AB一個是限定用法，一個是非限定用法，就句意來說要用限定用法，不然就變成任何precise measurement都拿來給科學家用
至於D應該沒人選吧

Go for 限定用法的 (A)

[keane0727]

A. to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope　will enable them to

to make ever more precise measurements

scientists hope the measurements will enable them to understand....

想請教一下B選項

除了ever more and more很怪之外，which代替measurement有沒有錯？我想說這裡又不是要修飾整句，這樣用應該沒問題吧？

"scientists hope the measurements will enable them to understand...."
這句話讓我想到一個作題沒有想到的問題, 這句話的文法結構是Vt+O (hope the measurement)還是 Vt+N (hope that the measurements will...)？
如果是Vt+N，那麼可以用關代改成measurements that scientists hope will嗎？或者說這裡scientists hope是插入句即 measurements that, scientist hope, will enable?
插入語短時前後逗點可省嗎？求教
