Antipoverty initiatives have had to contend with two decades of economic shifts that have depressed wages of workers with little or no technical skills.
that have depressed wage of workers with little or no technical skills
having depressed wages of workers with little or no technical skills
that have depressed the wages of workers with few or no technical skills
in which the workers' wages with few or no technical skills have been depressed
in that workers with few or no technical skills have wages that are depressed
题目分析:
在(A)(B)(C)(D)中,划线部分是一个定语从句,其先行词是two decades of economic shifts;(E)中in that是状语从句的连词,因此划线部分是未划线部分的原因状语。
选项分析:
A选项:little是用来修饰不可数名词的,不能修饰可数名词skills。
B选项:little错误同(A)。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:介词短语with few or no technical skills在本选项中做定语,修饰最近的名词wages。这在逻辑上是不正确的。没有技术的应该是工人,而不是工资。
E选项:连词in that是“因为”的意思,和for,because的意思相仿。在逻辑上,“反贫穷组织攻击20年的经济变化”和“没有技术的工人拥有被降低的工资”之间没有“因果关系”。
in that是“因为”的意思,和for,because的意思相仿
还是对于逻辑主语的判断不要太过自信,先找其他的点
根据句意,应该是economic shifts 导致工人工资降低,才会让反贫穷组织反抗。
所以经济转变不应该做从句状语
连词in that是“因为”的意思,和for,because的意思相仿
skills可数
contend with 与……斗争
in that: 相当于because
few/fewer/fewest,many/more/most修饰可数名词;little/less/least,much/more/most修饰不可数名词。
two decades of economic shifts核心词是shifts,two decades做定语修饰shifts的时长,比如:a glass of water
语意:
反贫困组织不得不与发生经济转换的20年做斗争,这个20年压缩了工人的钱包。
two decades作为斗争的对象,直接导致了工人工资变少,在从句里做主语比做时间状语优。
with few or no technical skills在本选项中做定语,修饰最近的名词wages
连词in that是“因为”的意思,和for,because的意思相仿
little是用来修饰不可数名词的,little or no technical skills
few 和little的区别做题时总是没有发现选项会在这个地方有所区分
