题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:代词their的指代对象只能是复数名词,但在逻辑上,应该是公司的share,而本题中公司是单数名词,因此their无指代对象。
B选项:定语从句 which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks具有就近修饰原则,其最近的名词为the country,在逻辑上,从精装书到平装书的应该是book market,不能是国家。
C选项:代词their的指代对象错误同选项(A)。
D选项:定语从句 which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks修饰对象错误同选项(B)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
AC. their 错误
BDE:例子
[1] The committee chose Mr. Smith of Left Block, who was the most experienced member, to lead all the management-related operations.
Many of you will right away discard this sentence as “incorrect” because “who” is not preceded by “Mr. Smith”, the noun it should logically refer to. Well, this sentence is absolutely correct. There is no modification error here. Here “who” correctly modifies “Mr. Smith”.
This is so because the newly added prepositional phrase “of Left Block” is a modifier that modifies “Mr. Smith”. So it is placed next to that entity. This prepositional cannot be placed elsewhere in the sentence without violating the structure and the meaning of the sentence. So now instead of just “Mr. Smith” in sentence 1, we have a “noun phrase” in sentence 2 – “Mr. Smith of Left Block”. In this scenario, “who” has the liberty to jump over the preceding preposition phrase (modifier) to modify the HEAD of this noun phrase – “Mr. Smith”
and
[2] The committee chose Mr. Smith in the last meeting, who was the most experienced member, to lead all the management-related operations.
However, the sentence [2] is not correct. Here “who” ends up modifying immediately preceding noun “the last meeting”, resulting in modifier error.
This is so because “in the last meeting” does not modify “Mr. Smith” because it is an adverbial modifier and hence cannot modify a Noun. It rather modifies the action “chose”. When did the committee choose? It did in the last meeting. This prepositional phrase can actually be placed right in the beginning of the sentence, after “The committee”, or before “Mr. Smith” to convey the intended meaning. Hence, here “who” cannot jump over the preceding noun. Notice how per the context of this sentence, the expression “Mr. Smith in the last meeting” is not a noun phrase. Contrast this with the noun phrase in the original sentence “Mr. Smith of Left Block”.
若介宾短语修饰前面的名词,则which/who可以跳跃修饰前面的名词,但例子2中的“in the last meeting”和BD中的in the country一样,虽是介宾短语但不修饰前面的名词,故不能跳跃修饰
A、C their指代不明,排除
B、Dwhich先行词有歧义,market和country都可以作先行词,区别在于是否跳跃修饰,排除
E correct
which不能够跳跃修饰吗?in the country是介宾短语啊(这个我一直没搞懂欸~)
要看选项中which的先行词是否有变化。像这题先行词变了,所以考的是就近修饰,不可跳跃。

B选项:定语从句 which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks具有就近修饰原则,其最近的名词为the country,在逻辑上,从精装书到平装书的应该是book market,不能是国家。
跟E相比,E更好
就近原则
B选项:定语从句 which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks具有就近修饰原则,其最近的名词为the country,在逻辑上,从精装书到平装书的应该是book market,不能是国家。
这一题E选项对的原因是比较模糊的就近修饰原则。可是这里还出现了's 和of的考点,E选项中用了's,但是country严格意义上不能算一个living thing (同Prep2008E1-SC-201的'labor',这一题中用labor不能用's的原则挑选出了正确选项)。那在面对其他方面都没有大的问题的两个选项时,就近修饰以及 ’s和of 这两个都比较模糊的考点,要怎么进行取舍。。。?
个人认为这道题B,E一个很大的区别是,B中in the country 做定语修饰market,语义为 在这个国家里的市场,而E中,是the country做主语,语义是 国家的图书市场,应该是 这家公司 提高自己 占 一个国家的整个图书市场的份额更加合理。而在国家里的图书市场并没有意义。
同意🙆
同意,对比一下一个公司需要占领“中国市场”使用the market in China 还是 the market of China

要注意独立主格和主句之间要有逻辑关系
就近修饰,尽管是介宾修饰成分也不例外
考察:定语修饰;单复数指代

their share and its share没有识别出来 工作里邮件也经常这么写错
ad区别就是
their share 和 its share
a中, the company 单数,后面their,单复数没考虑充分

同意!我也是这么理解的!

就近修饰
很简单啊,主谓一致+定语从句which的指代就OK了。
重点放在了,Increase form/to/in的用法上了,有时候,在题目里面,看到不太清楚的点就先别看了,看看其他有没有更easy识别的点。
Their不能指代divisions吗?
increase in
在…方面增长
A moderate increase in both investment and consumption will play an active role in stimulating the market.
就近修饰原则,BD容易产生歧义
