The financial crash of October 1987 demonstrated that the world's capital markets are integrated more closely than never before and events in one part of the global village may be transmitted to the rest of the village—almost instantaneously.
integrated more closely than never before and
closely integrated more than ever before so
more closely integrated as never before while
more closely integrated than ever before and that
more than ever before closely integrated as
题目分析:
本题中两个小句the world's capital markets are integrated more closely than ever before和events in one part of the global village may be transmitted to the rest of the village—almost instantaneously的连词在不同选项中不同。在(A)(D)中,这个关系是and;(B)中是因果关系(so);(C)中是同时关系(while);(E)是果因关系(as)。此外,我们还能发现比较词more than。
选项分析:
A选项:more than连接的比较对象不对等,表示“比以前都要紧密”需要用ever before而不是never before。
B选项:more than的修饰对象不对,在逻辑上,more than应该修饰的是closely integrated而不是ever before。
C选项:never before错误同(B);more+as不是习惯表达。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:连词as错误同(B)。
Ron: As an analogy, here's a pair of sentences in which the comparable difference in meaning is much starker.
(1) Legal disputes in the field have been resolved satisfactorily more than ever before.
(2) Legal disputes in the field have been resolved more satisfactorily than ever before.
You can probably see the difference: #1 says that increasing numbers of legal disputes are being resolved in a manner that is truly satisfactory. #2, on the other hand, says that the degree to which the disputes' resolutions are satisfactory has been on the rise, but the resolutions still may not be truly satisfactory.
Although the difference is more subtle in this problem, it's the same idea.
* Choice B says that close integration occurs more frequently (or among more markets) than before, but that the degree of closeness of integration has NOT necessarily changed;
* Choice D, along with the original sentence, says that the degree to which the markets are closely integrated has gone up markedly.
出现gap的时候判断一下句间关系,前面提及资本市场,后面提及事件,两者没有必然联系,因此句间为平行关系为最佳
B中so, 似乎前后是原因/结果的关系,但是原文是2个facts
A than never before, 排除。
B more是作为closely的比较级的构成方式,应该是more closely,more的位置不对。
C 有closely的比较级more closely,要用than,不用as;还有never before不对。
E closely的比较级错误,more的位置不对,排除。
解释都好生硬啊
ever before 固定用法
前后两句没有因果联系,应该是表并列
B 选项不优选的原因:more的位置,so连词引导的并列成分是和主句平行还是和that从句平行,so前最好加逗号。
看到比较,不要慌,还是看成分和句子意思!!
第一句话是说资本市场,第二句话是说events,不是经济event,所以两句话没因果关系
.......
A、more than连接的比较对象不对对等,表示“比以前都要紧密”需要用ever before而不是never before
B、so引导结果状从,两个句子间无逻辑关系
C、同A;more+than不能more+as;语法错
D、两个宾从并列的合句
E、同B;as+句子
B字面说的是更多的市场的融合(而没有提到程度的加深,不要脑补);D说的是融合程度的加深。从语感上看,B的表述就是很奇怪。
* Choice B says that close integration occurs more frequently (or among more markets) than before, but that the degree of closeness of integration has NOT necessarily changed;
* Choice D, along with the original sentence, says that the degree to which the markets are closely integrated has gone up markedly.
貌似很多的正确的选项都是从句的并列。
本题难点在于理清并列的关系(而非因果)。
4D由and连接两个宾语从句,句末that可以省略。
A项改为integrated more closely than ever before and that这样对吗?
老师,对于B选项的讲解,视频和文字写的理由不太一样,能不能再解析一下,到底B是哪里错了?谢谢!
B中so, 似乎前后是原因/结果的关系,但是原文是2个facts
老师,修饰这部分我不是很明白,按照状语修饰原则,是以跨越连接词为界限的,那么在b中,more than与ever before 和 closely intergrated中间并没有连接词啊,怎么就能判断,b是修饰了ever before而不是 closely intergrated的呢?
more closely integrated 比 closely integrated more than 结构更舒服,更好。
