1. Britain, France, or Germany, with the unemployment rate having remained

2. have those of Britain, France, or Germany, and the unemployment rate remaining

3. have Britain, France, and Germany, and the unemployment rate has remained

4. the economy of Britain, France, and Germany, with the unemployment rate that has remained

5. the economies of Britain, France, and Germany, and the unemployment rate has remained

Answer: E

原文意思：过去五年里，国家D的经济发展比国家B,F,G要快，失业率比那三个国家也低。

第一步：看有无并列

原文有2个并列，经济比和失业率比

选项A B C在经济的比较上比较对象错误 －排除

D和E差别有2处：

1. economy单复数（拿不准在这里是具体还是抽象名词，先暂且不管）

2. D后面有的with+名词定语从句，E后面用的and并列句

名词，＋介词短语这一形式不太好 ，排除D

更好的答案是E

Q3:

Unlike human runners, who broke the four-minute mile in 1954 and they consistently recorded faster times ever since, horses in classic races such as the Kentucky Derby have had winning times with little improvement: Secretariat’s world-record-breaking Derby tine of 1:59 2/5, for example, was set in 1973 and remained unsurpassed more than a quarter of a century later.

1. they consistently recorded faster times ever since, horses in classic races such as the Kentucky Derby have had winning times with little improvement

第一步：看有没有并列

赛跑的人和赛马之间的并列对比，排除B E

剩下A C D

C和D距离近先比较,C好，根据虚实原则，实的越早出来越好，horse应该早点出来

A和C比较

区别：A and后面更这一个they引导的句子，C跟一个动词；and应该引导两个功能和作用并列的成分，前面是动词broke 所以后面应该用动词 排除A

Q4:

B错 第一个并列没用more than,

C 并列正确 可能对 先放着

D 错 第二个比较对象错

E 并列正确 可能对

剩下C和E

C和E的区别在于：第一个并列C多了there be, 第二个并列C用that which, E用what

C连续用了二个怪词there be和代词 所以E更好 排除C

CD距离近 先比

D后面用and thereby说明和前面并列 但不并列 所以排除

我对第一题的看法是：with引导的结构表伴随，翻译就是：“伴随着失业率比其他三个国家低，荷兰的经济就发展比那三个国家快。”从逻辑上看这是不对的，失业率低可能是由于inflation 引起的，但是inflation 中可能有经济泡沫，我们就不能说一定是经济好拉。排除A，D。 第二看平行结构。前面是the … economy 后面也应该一样，所以选E

我不知道我的理解对不对，请多指教。

cocomalawi

第三题，我的看法是：第一由原句可知本题是由unlike引导一个比较状语，主语是horses….排除

在状语中又有一个定语从句，先行词是human runner , 引导词是who ,定语从句中又有一个并列的成分，并列成分右and连接。前面一个独立成分是broke….后面一个成分就应该有相同的结构，排除A。B。（A，B重复并且指代不明）

第二看时态问题，broke 用的是过去时态，由作者将人和马进行比较这一点可以看出：事情发生在过去并对现在造成了影响，所以用现在完成时态。选C

我觉得Q4有点象OG—5

作者要表达的含义是7月撤出的钱比1987年10月以来的任何一个月撤出的钱要多，而不是说和1987年10月份以来的情况一样，JULY月份越来越多的钱从股票市场基金中撤走。如果87年开始每个月都从股市中撤除N多钱，那美国人民还怎么生存吗？大家都是出来混的，总要有赚钱的时候啊？

根据OG-5的思路；逻辑上可以排除A，B，

D和E有两处不一样，但一处就可以排除D，根据上面说的逻辑上有比较关系，就应该是any other 而不是any.

我个人觉得没有什么“公理”，“怪词”之说，不对就是不对，有规定他不对，不好。而不是说因为他是怪词就不选他，这种说法如果可以应用于所有的题目，那他就是语法知识点，而不是什么“公理”，“怪词”拉。

传统语法上我们用that which 一般在定语从句中，避免“撞衫”，前面出现that 后面用which.

题目中even though 引导的是从句，主句 就是sales……,主句的主语是sales of fund shares ,谓语动词是were, as low as 是表语，定语从句又叫形容词性从句，前面要有先行词，这里没有，所以排除C。

我不知道我的看法对不对，请指教。
