题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:Unlike身后是商业(mainstream American businesses),而其主句的主语是失败率(the failure rate for businesses),两者不可比。
B选项:比较错误同选项(A)。
C选项:比较错误同选项(A)。
D选项:本选项的错误在于表语上,因为选项的主语是rate,是一个比率,而表语是half,在逻辑上比率只能是50%(50percent)而不能是一半,即,我们可以说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is 50%.
但不能说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is half.
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
unlike A,B,所以排除ABC;D的主语是the rate,后面一定要跟具体的比例,不能用half表达
首先根据比较对象的一致原则快速排除ABC(修饰成分先不看),然后根据比率应是百分比排除D,选E
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is,介词+doing的情况,of的对象是名词businesses,即the rate of businesses,错误;the rate of mainstream American businesses's failing则核心词是动作failing,the rate of failing
rate只能是百分比
注意比较对象平行
比率只能用百分比表示
D the rate is more than 50% NOT half.
平行的主从句才要求平行
Dthe rate of mainstream American businesses failing
应该用fail的从句来表示 failling 在这里是主要的 核心意思
while 后面不需要对称性
Unlike 后面必须要跟 the failure rate of mainstream American business, 为了和未划线部分comparison
while 后面不需要对称性,答案D 意思是the rate is more than 一半,但是rate应该跟50%对比,而E的意思要更明显。
unlike要求比较对象一致,while不需要;
在逻辑上比率是一个数,只能是50%(50percent)而不能是一半,即,我们可以说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is 50%.
但不能说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is half.
while对比较对象的要求没有unlike那么严格
rate不能half
while对比较对象的要求没有unlike那么严格
rate不能half
1、"of + NOUN + VERBing"是错误的 2、the rate....half是错误的 3、碰到这种题还是不能掉以轻心,要仔细分析D E选项
unlike要求比较对象一致,while不需要
D,While the rate of mainstream American businesses's failure is more than half
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing的意思是,主流美国企业的比率,failing做定语修饰企业,应该是失败比率,而不是企业的比率;失败率是可统计的,失败的企业不可以统计(如何定义失败的企业?这次失败了,下次还会成功,那么它是失败企业还是成功企业呢?)
在逻辑上比率只能是50%(50percent)而不能是一半,即,我们可以说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is 50%.
但不能说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is half.
rate不能是half,可以说50%。while引导的从句可以不用和后面的主句主语平行
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing , 这个中心意思变为AB‘’s rate,所以错了,可以这么理解吗
D:incorrect construction of + NOUN + VERBing 错误 rate 对应的是%不能是half ABC比较对象不一致
1、有连接词的句子主语不需要一致,2、rate应该是多少数,不应该是一半表达
rate is 50%但是不能说rate is half
另外while表对比时,前后不需要严格对称
