Although a number of excellent studies narrate the development of domestic technology and its impact on housewifery, these works do not discuss the contributions of the women employed by manufacturers and utility companies as product demonstrators and publicists, who initially promoted new and unfamiliar technology to female customers.
by manufacturers and utility companies as product demonstrators and publicists,
to be product demonstrators and publicists by manufacturers and utility companies,
to demonstrate and publicize their products by manufacturers and utility companies
by manufacturers and utility companies to be demonstrators and publicists of their products
by manufacturers and utility companies to demonstrate and publicize their products
题目分析:
想做对本题,考生必须看全整句,不能只看划线部分。很多的考点判断依据是藏在未划线部分的。
本题划线部分身前的employed是过去分词,整个分词短语employed by manufacturers and utility companies as product demonstrators and publicists是women的定语,语句结构为:
the women were employed by manufacturers and utility companies as product demonstrators and publicists.
选项分析:
A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项:首先,A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B,A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B。显然地,本题的意思是女性被雇佣为产品说明者,而不是女性被利用为产品说明者。其次,划线部分身后的定语从句who initially promoted new and unfamiliar technology to female customers最近的名词为manufacturers and utility companies。在逻辑上,该定语从句描述的是product demonstrators and publicists。
C选项:划线部分身后的定语从句修饰对象错误同选项(B);A is employed to do错误同选项(B)。
D选项:A is employed to be B错误同选项(B)。
E选项:A is employed to do错误同选项(B)。
be employed as或be employed to do可以,be employed to be很redundant
且后文为who引导的定语从句,故前面主句一定为“人”结尾
有一个很容易看出来的点,大家可能没看出来:
CDE里面的their,指代不明确,不知道是manufactures的产品,还是women自己的产品。所以不能说“推广他们的产品”,只能说“作为推广人”,只能用名词。

定语从句往往会因为结构,倒装等原因,出现跳跃修饰的情况,而是否要严格遵守跳跃修饰,你要注意看题目考点是不是要考你,什么时候要考你呢?就是保持定语从句不变,变换离定语从句最近的先行词,本题明显是这样的情况。那根据逻辑意思判断,显然是publicists而不是companies或者products在提高新技术。 查阅了朗文和牛津字典,发现employ sb as sth和 employ sb to do sth并没有很大区分,所以对毕出老师的解释先报观望态度,自己做题时觉得employ约束力强,上来就把A直接排除掉了
说的对,employ无法作为判断点。而根据先行词判断的话a和d都可以。因为d中a of b 后的定语从句修饰对象根据who判断是修饰demonstrator和publicist的。这时候怎么判断

A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B-积极正面
A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B-消极负面
幸好现在遇到了,要是未来工作中用错了就尴尬了
A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B,A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B
这里就是典型的题目想考你就近修饰的情况,定从不变,不断改变其最近的名词!
“一般跳跃修饰有两个原因:结构和倒装。其余大部分时候需要遵循就近修饰原则。
C,D选项之所以跳跃修饰人,是因为人的后面有两个定语,因此定语从句被迫放在了后面,属于结构性跳跃修饰。
B选项和A相比明显在顺序上存在差异,说明这里的考点是就近修饰,那么就要严格遵守人+定语从句的顺序~~”
A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B,A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B
A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B,A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B。
其次,who引导的定语从句说的是demonstrators而非companies
1. their指代
2. who的指代
A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B
A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B
前:employed by被动修饰在临近位置,作为修饰woman的定语
后:who修饰紧邻前面的名词,必须是人。
要点:不能只看划线部分,clue都在划线外的部分
the women were employed by manufacturers and utility companies as product demonstrators and publicists.
who initially promoted new and unfamiliar technology to female customers. 这里的先行词应该是product demonstrators and publicists
要从意思来解题
这题考虑选项后面的定语,就近原则是不是一下子就确定前面必须是人 所以选A
A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B,A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B
划线部分身后的定语从句who initially promoted new and unfamiliar technology to female customers的提示作用
employ A as B 雇佣A为职务B
employ A to be B 利用A成为B
AC选项中是想清楚到底是谁向女顾客推销新的陌生的技术。是指的这些产品展示者而不是这些公司和生产者
抓住划线外的who
d选项who为啥不能跳跃修饰到前面的publicists
看到了后面有who就在ab中选,结果还是选了b。。。
没看划线句子后面联系起来解题 句子意思 就能够更快理解
