Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend less time with each.
imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend
imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spending
that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spend
that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending
that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending
经典的靠语义才能做出来的题目。spend逻辑主语是解题的关键。
A,requiring doctors to see more patients, and (require doctors to ) spend less time on each
B,require doctors to see more patients, spending less time on each
总体要求医生两件事:A看更多的病人 B花更少的时间在每个病人身上
理解语义的关键之处:B应该是A的结果,而非和A并列
后面的部分是修饰 lower-end insurance plans 的,可优先选从句排除AB;
剩下CDE;
CE spend的逻辑主语都是plan,显然是不对的;(如果C的spend是表示跟to see more patients 并列,那么就不应该用comma隔开)
B和C的结构,表明spend的主语是plans,plans不能发出spend的动作,排除。
E里边,requiring ... and spending...如果是做状语来修饰前面的impose动作,则主语是plans,排除。
A: ,and spend我更倾向于spend是与前面的大主句并列,因为前面有个逗号,主语是union members,语义不正确。
D:,spending ...是独立主格,可以看做是状语,就近原则修饰最近的动作see more patients。
doctors spend less time with each patients, not insurance plans,故E错误,D正确
逗号ing 不是应该修饰上一句的主语吗 不是union members 吗?
spend less time with each 应该是 see more patients的结果,不是并列关系
语义!!spend没有对应的逻辑主语,排除A和C;
B:imposing,requiring,and spending are parallel---absurdity
E: 'requiring' and 'spending' are parallel in the modifier, implying that the plans themselves spend time with patients (in addition to requiring blah blah blah). this doesn't make sense.
spending修饰医生
A,requiring doctors to see more patients, and (require doctors to ) spend less time on each
D,require doctors to see more patients, spending less time on each
总体要求医生两件事:A看更多的病人 B花更少的时间在每个病人身上
理解语义的关键之处:B应该是A的结果,而非和A并列
A是要求医生花更少的时间在每个病人身上;一个是看更多的病人,伴随发生的是医生花更少的时间在每个病人身上。应该是要求医生看更多的病人,并没有要求医生花更少的时间在每个病人身上,每个病人得到的时间更少是数量更多的自然产生的结果,用状语更优
AD区分:首先要理解impose和require是同级的,spend是修饰doctor的
A的逗号在and用法不能用于修饰doctor
只有D的这种根据就近原则才可以
语意!spend修饰doctors
[句意!!]
impose stricter limits on medical services和require doctors to see more patients是并列的,spending less time with each other是require doctors to see more patients的补充,是它的一个结果(而非三者并列)
A,requiring doctors to see more patients, and (require doctors to ) spend less time on each
D,require doctors to see more patients, spending less time on each
一个是要求医生花更少的时间在每个病人身上;一个是看更多的病人,伴随发生的是医生花更少的时间在每个病人身上。应该是要求医生看更多的病人,并没有要求医生花更少的时间在每个病人身上,每个病人得到的时间更少是数量更多的自然产生的结果,用状语更优
AB:修饰紧邻动词,应该是enroll,逻辑主语是members
C:spend不可以由plan发出这个动作
D:spending修饰紧邻动词,应该是see,逻辑主语是doctors,符合句意
A : imposing, requiring作为后置定语修饰plans, spend的主语变成了union members
B: imposing, requiring, spending 三者平行作为后置定语修饰plans
C: impose, require, spend都作为that引导的定语从句的谓语从词修饰plans
D: spending 作为伴随就近修饰see more patients, 主语为doctors
E: requiring & spending作为伴随修饰 impose stricter limits, 逻辑主语变成了plans
状语,就近修饰动作的原则!!!
这道题注意到spend的主语就不会选错了
第二遍错了……语义!!!
求问E选项为什么不能理解成requiring和spending是impose 的伴随状语
