题目分析:
本题比较难。这句话节选于纽约时报,但纽约时报中的原句是本题中的错误选项。更为讨厌的是,如果不知道上下文,本句很难看懂。它的背景是,一个住在费城的小伙子在2009年想卖自己的房子。他是前几年房地产比较火的时候花了$76000买的,他还想按照原价卖出,理由虽然经济不好,但是他给房子做了一些升级,按照原价卖应该能卖出去。但是,事实是,现在他的房子只能卖到$45000了。后面就出现了这么一段:
Even in the best of times, it’s hard for individuals to objectively value their homes, which often reflect their sense of self and personal style. Making things even more difficult has been general market inactivity lately, if not paralysis, which has provided little in the way of pricing guidance. But by using online resources, investigating neighborhood trends, consulting real estate experts and perhaps even asking the opinions of brutally honest friends, homeowners can arrive at a reasonably accurate appraisal even in these uncertain times.
可以看出,这是一段“广告”,大概意思就是,就算是市场最好的时间,人们也不能客观的估计自己房子的价格,一般市场(房地产市场)的不活跃(这种不活跃几乎不能给房屋定价提供任何价格指导),如果还没瘫痪的话,让这个事情变得更加困难(因为吧,如果市场比较活跃的话,多少还能知道知道自己房子真正值多少钱,但是市场上都没人买,自然只能知道标价,不能知道真正的成交价格,也就是所谓的有价无市)。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项是一个倒装句,正常语序为:
General market inactivity has been making things even more difficult.
这个倒装的原因是,最后的定语从句which has provided little in the way of pricing guidance需要紧挨自己的先行词general market inactivity。虽然这个倒装没什么问题,但是这句话中has been这个词是不对的,本选项的字面意思是:
市场的不活跃是让这个事情变得更加困难。
在逻辑上应该是:
“市场的不活跃是让这个事情变得更加困难的因素”或“市场的不活跃让这个事情变得更加困难”
因此,这个选项要么改为:
General market inactivity has been what makes things even more difficult.
要么改为:
General market inactivity makes things even more difficult.
B选项:there is general market inactivity和lately it has provided little in the way of pricing guidance是两个句子,这两个句子之间缺少连词。
C选项:lately是副词,在本选项中其修饰的是provide。但在逻辑上,lately应该修饰make things difficult,即,是“市场的不活跃最近让这个事情变得更糟”,而不是“市场的不活跃最近几乎不能给房屋定价提供任何价格指导”。这是因为,任何时候,市场的不活跃都无法指导定价,和“最近”没有关系。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。句首的Making things even more difficult lately是伴随状语。
E选项:本选项从that开始是表语从句,但是这个从句中没有谓语动词,可以直接排除。
这题还是OG解释的好。(if not paralysis)( which has provided)都是修饰inactivity, 但是不能同时两个放在一起。
考察:句子完整,核心语意
A.which修饰paralysis,不能跳跃“,”修饰inactivity; lately应该修饰making things even more difficult,位置不对
B.there 前面无“,”,相当于有两个主语;it has provided与前面无连接词
C.general前面无“,”,相当于两个主语
D.正确
E.that从句中无谓语
A选项:倒装句,还原之后变成了现在完成进行时❌l
B选项:there is general market inactivity和it has provided是两句句子,中间缺少连接词❌
C选项:lately修饰provided是错误的,provided这半句话是因而非果❌
E选项:缺少that后是表语从句,是一个句子就得有主谓,但这个句子缺少谓语动词❌
插入语if not paralysis, 不要看,不要纠结意思,只看主干,提炼主干
重点是A倒装还原后就变成了现在完成进行时,很别扭
还有A后面的if not paralysis和which修饰导致which好像修饰的是paralysis
B there is general market inactivity和it has provide ...是两个句子,没有连词,不对,排除。
E that引导的表语从句总没有谓语,排除。
C Making things even more difficult general market inactivity, if not paralysis, has lately provided ....,前面的making things even more difficult和主语general market inactivity之间最好有逗号(?),还有lately的位置错误,应该和even more difficult放一起,表示”最近更难的是..."。
剩下AD。
A如果还原成正常语序:general market inactivity has been making things even more difficult lately, ....,完成进行时表示的是从过去某个时刻开始一直持续到现在的状态,那就是making things even more difficult这个动作已经发生有一段时间了,和题目要表达的最近才让发生的意思不一样。题目的意思应该是”虽然还不能说市场已经瘫痪,但市场的不活跃,最近让事情变得更难了,它对定价没什么帮助“。
先根据intended meaning确定各部分直接的关系,inactivity provide little pricing guidance
making things even more difficult和if not paralysis都是修饰inactivity的。
状语,主语,插入语,谓语宾语。
Making things even more difficult has been general market inactivity lately 这是一个倒装句子,但是inactivity 和making 是不能并列的,因为action noun 和simple gerund不能并列。另外lately必然修饰Making things even more difficult,不能修饰inactivity这个名词。
完全考的是sentence structure, modifier紧跟它modify的,lately就应该紧跟making things even more difficult,表一前一后。
sc
继续错选c
注意看c前面没逗号!!!

考察:
ing做伴随状语
一看到making。。就直觉的认为这是ing主语,就直接去后面找谓语动词,结果越找越糊涂
其实making在前面,另一种就是作为ing形式的伴随状语,我忽视了这一点,如果知道,下一步就是去找主语,和动词; 主语“general market inactivity”句子中唯一出现的名词,后面接插入语和主句部分, if not paralysis, has provided;考试中注意去掉插入语(干扰)修饰部分,化繁从简
错选c,Making things even more difficult 不能是has provided的主语,逻辑上不正确
语感行吗?好顺
C 选项:lately是副词,在本选项中其修饰的是provide。但在逻辑上,lately应该修饰make things difficult,即,是“市场的不活跃最近让这个事情变得更糟”。这是因为,任何时候,市场的不活跃都无法指导定价,和“最近”没有关系。
A选项:正常语序为:General market inactivity has been making things even more difficult.
这个倒装的原因是,定语从句which需要紧挨自己的先行词general market inactivity,但是这句话中has been这个词是不对的:市场的不活跃是让这个事情变得更加困难。在逻辑上应该是:“市场的不活跃是让这个事情变得更加困难的因素”或“市场的不活跃让这个事情变得更加困难” ,这个选项要么改为:General market inactivity has been what makes things even more difficult.要么改为:General market inactivity makes things even more difficult.

A是倒装句,宾语前置,主语后置,倒装理由是使主语更贴近修饰它的定语从句
毕老师把这道题扒得这样细。然鹅这个句子要怎么个倒装法,我还是不会,碉堡了。General market inactivity has been making things even more difficult ,SVOC结构,要把S调到最后怎么个调法,不会。。或者这种复杂结构的句子要接定语原本就不适合用倒装,那种SV结构变成VS的倒是很常见,比如:The U.S. President is a man on whom falls a heavy responsibility.
我还是不会,碉堡了。了。了。

A中的which明显很可能在修饰paralysis而错了
lately不要和has been making放在一起
