错选了D，正确选项是E。我很困惑，因为觉得前后都是rate不是更平行一些吗？为什么选择E。

B选项中的, by publicly stating that
1.为什么会在前面有逗号？
2.Gmat club上有人说是ADV Modifier 我目前还没有见过这样的类型

本题的答案是C，我选择了B，我不理解为什么broaden要跟hissing和rearing平行，而不是跟puts平行，我选择B是因为我觉得hissing 和 rearing中间已经用and连接了，代表此修饰到此结束，不然hissing和rearing中间应该是逗号，那么broaden就应该跟puts平行才对。

请问Helr老师，C选项和E选项 easily位置不同 它们之间有什么区别吗

C选项是现在分词短语做ways的定语，逻辑主语发出者不是new entrepreneurs ， SVO,ing 不是修饰前面动词的吗？逻辑主语发出者不是new entrepreneurs 吗？

commend 表彰——his argument is impressive when...
condemn谴责

ideological——fails to sustantiate the claim

Since it has become known that several of a bank’s top executives have been buying shares in their own bank （evidence 1）, the bank’s depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending fi nancial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank’s fi nancial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. (conclusion 1) Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic(conclusion 2), however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company’s health （evidence 2）.

在读题的时候就分清楚哪些是evidence，哪些是conclusion. 这样就容易理清每句话之间的关系了。 conclusion 1是从evidence 1得出来的。 conclusion 2在质疑conclusion 1. evidence 2 给出了质疑的理由。

ABCD都和原文观点相冲突或者未提及，只有E能通过合理推理而得出结论。

More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference（基于“参照”的框架）: in many respects, ....

逐个排除之后发现只能选D，文首有明确观点

generally more economically independent，原文可参考的定位有两处：1）they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. -->推出女性在经济领域地位下降；2） Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example.-->女性可持有较高比例的房产。两处其实并不冲突，拥有房产包括在了经济领域里面，但是经济领域并不只是拥有房产。其次，第一处是一个结论性观点，从这道题的问法来看，怎么都应该是定位到此处来找答案，第二处只是后面观点的其中一个举例（在某些方面获得权力...在某些方面相对失去权力...）

In contrast, Buel and Buel's biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, 【of】 a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women's status. 阅读的过程中注意到了这个of，但太急没有留意这个of指代的其实是myth就快速过了，以至于其实并没有读懂最后一句话的意思，做错了这道题。

这道题，BF1前面有个because，BF2前面shows that，两句中间还有个however，知道是1是个原因，2是个现象，而且两者对立的。并且BF2后面有个since长句贯穿到结尾，说明BF2所在的整句应该是结论，since是解释这个结论的内容。

A：BF1不是position，基于“because”，BF1应该是支持某个position的原因。
B：你看选项怎么说的：BF1 in support 了，BF2也在 in support，不对啊，原文的however说明两者显然对立嘛。
C：BF1是explanation没错，BF2用来支持BF1，错了啊，对立的。
D：没错
E：都however了，哪可能BF1是argument defends的内容，显然是反驳的啊。

to + 名词 和不定式 to do
这里用 attribute sth to + 名词

due to通常用于指不好的事情的原因,所以D错

be likely to do为习惯表达，不能用be likely that

equally 和as...as 是相同的意思； 对比情况要一致。A选项是拿一件事情（ drivers will be equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit）和一个东西（the current one）来进行比较

B to 表示目的，根据题意应该是表示结果
