QUOTE:

212. The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for

several years followed a policy aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving the efficiency of its distribution system.

(A) aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving

(B) aimed at the decreasing of operating costs and to improve

(C) aiming at the decreasing of operating costs and improving

(D) the aim of which is the decreasing of operating costs and improving

(E) with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve

In E, the infinitives to decrease and to improve, while parallel, are less idiomatic than the prepositional phrase of decreasing ... and improving in modifying the noun aim

正确答案A里没有用 of decreasing 呀,用的是 at decreasing, 这个ETS解释怎样理解?用 decreasing 比 to decrease 好 应该是在 有 aim 这个前提下才能成立吧。

aim 做名次时,用法是the aim of doing sth.

aim 作动词时,用法是 aim to do sth. and be aimed at doing sth.

受不了这个with了,在这里OG说可能修饰BMC这个公司,

(E) with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve

但是在192题中,

192. Cajuns speak a dialect brought to southern Louisiana by the four thousand Acadians who migrated there in 1755; their language is basically seventeenth-century French to which has been added English. Spanish. and Italian words.

to which has been added English, Spanish, and Italian words

added to which is English, Spanish, and Italian words

to which English, Spanish, and Italian words have been added

with English, Spanish, and Italian words having been added to it

and, in addition, English, Spanish, and Italian words are added

有弟兄姐妹讨论说with只能修饰fench,不能往前。

请问192题中为什么with就只能修饰fench了呢?

with 这里面可以看成引导伴随状语, 因此主语就是主句主语,其伴随动作是follow policy,窜改了原意,原意用aimed at作后置定语修饰这个policy。

OG192中的with同样是伴随状语,修饰主语their language。

但是有一点奇怪的是with前面居然可以不加逗号。

浅见,open to discuss.

192 不是状语

是介词短语做定语修饰的是French

状语和定语怎么区分呢????我以为都是定语的说……还是说从逻辑角度判断的???难道不会造成歧义吗?我就理解成歧义了……

with在句尾几乎不可能做定语,如果做定语修饰前面的名词的话应该采用分词的形式,这题应该是修饰状语没问题。
