我想知道为什么选B，不选C。不是说whether or not出现永远错吗？作者: gotomba 时间: 2011-4-16 22:35
这里我觉得考的是is的用法。没有is会有歧义的，会有误解为is结构以后的比较。whether or not 这个我我以前貌似听到过新东方有这么一说。但是在Manhattan上面54页有whether to do something or not的用法。个人认为or not是简洁原则，非correctness原则。简洁原则次于correctness原则。个人理解。等待大牛更正作者: gotomba 时间: 2011-4-17 22:33
关于这道题prep2008语法有解释：
1. agree that…but that…，宾语从句的平行that不能省，使句子更加清晰。
2. need做实意动词的用法是：
need (sb.) to do sth；
need sth for sth；
sth needs n./doing/to be done(接名词性成分)；
3. whether or not的使用：
在引导宾从的时候只能够用whether，而不能加or not，否则累赘；
在引导状从的时候必须加上or not，即whether or not。
4. precede的惯用搭配是：A preceded by B（意思为B先进，然后A进）。作者: zhouyeying 时间: 2011-4-24 20:01
C：如果不是be to do 改成
not until almost 1900 did scholars and critics begin seriously to study
是否正确呢？作者: zhouyeying 时间: 2011-4-24 20:02
