GWD-11-Q3:
Unlike human runners, who broke the four-minute mile in 1954 and they consistently recorded faster times ever since, horses in classic races such as the Kentucky Derby have had winning times with little improvement: Secretariat’s world-record-breaking Derby tine of 1:59 2/5, for example, was set in 1973 and remained unsurpassed more than a quarter of a century later.

A.they consistently recorded faster times ever since, horses in classic races such as the Kentucky Derby have had winning times with little improvement
B.they have consistently recorded faster times ever since, those of horses in classic races such as the Kentucky Derby have shown little improvement in winning times
C.have consistently recorded faster times ever since, horses in classic races such as the Kentucky Derby have shown little improvement in winning times
D.have consistently recorded faster times ever since, in those of classic races such as the Kentucky Derby, horses have had winning times with little improvement
E.consistently recorded faster times ever since, those of horses in classic races such as the Kentucky Derby have shown little improvement in winning times

要請教諸位大大,這題我選到了C,其實也是不太明究理,請大家再幫我看看,謝謝!

考察比較要同類
human runners 與 horses 對比
就是c囉

[hungji]

1.快速瀏覽五答案
2.差異(1)they recorded與they have recorded與recorded(2)horses與those of horses(3)horse have had與those of horses have shown與horses have shown
3.回原題....考比較同類...人跟馬比(刪BE)...AND出現...ever since出現(刪AE)
4.比較 CD 哪郭簡潔? C 對了

[CUGGYER]

比較要同類 unlike 刪BE
redundancy who=they=runners 刪AB
pronoun D those沒有referent 刪
選出C

補充
時態 ever since接完成式刪AE

[ivanchiang]

基本上這題我在做時
直接看(A)跟(C)
因為沒有什麼horse runner
那既然沒有horse runner
(B)跟(E)就必錯
(D)嘛...in those of classic races such as the Kentucky Derby根本狗屁不通
回頭看(A)跟(C)
(A)中那個they肯定錯!!
所以~(C)~太神奇了~

可是答案選項c中，都說了比較要同類， human runners 怎麼跟horses in classic races 相比呢？？

[nexxt0722]

看到unlike,想到比較要同類
human runners跟horses不確定可不可以比,先留著
human runners跟those of horses,不確定those是不是代替runners,先留著

這樣一來,五個選項都留著了,傷腦筋...

看一下AB的they,應該要用who,而且前面出現過了,應該要省略,所以AB排除

比較一下CDE,時態不太一樣,ever since應該用完成式,再把E排除,剩下CD

D的in those of classic races such as the Kentucky Derby位置很怪
而且those不知道要代什麼,只能排除,剩下C,再看一下句意,沒啥問題,就C了

同協，這裡的句意你大既不太清楚哦..
這題將人類賽跑者與馬比是可以的，因為句意上我大既翻一下，
可能不太好，但意思應該是：
不同於人類賽跑者，人類他們會持續的打破紀錄，
而在優秀品種的馬例如在肯塔基馬賽則很少創新紀錄
所以人跟馬這題是可以比的！


我看了樓上大大的精彩討論後，發現大家好像沒討論修飾語並列問題
這題Ｄ選：Unlike runners, who broke …and have…, in…, horses …
→兩個修飾語並列awkward 所以Ｄ選刪掉

其他的樓上大大講的很充份不再補充了….

[ggethan]

補充一點
在at中凡是看到that of, those of 的型式, 回頭去找前面有沒有出現過N1 of N2 或是 N1's N2 如果沒有 that of的選項必錯
我看了og, gwd中很多題 還沒發現過例外的

verbal review: 60, 34, 67, 59, 91(D) 109(E)
OG11: 4(E), 64, 100, 16(D), 73(A),
OG10: 51, 118, 137,
TTGWD: 10-3, 14-38, 5-19

這招不錯用 提供給大家
