1. but 當連接詞時 前句後句要儘可能求 時態相同
2. by 表一精確定時點之前 for example: I will go there by 12:00 or today --------->我要在12:00 or today之前到
所以沒有時間間格概念--->故不須用完成式
3. figure 比用 number 好作者: samgxs 时间: 2002-11-14 02:47
but这个用法是不是大家讨论一下。作者: redli 时间: 2002-11-14 21:24
1)"by 1999",也就是说时间截止到1999这个过去时间了，并没有顺延到现在，所以不可能用现在完成时间。
2）BUT前后的时态一致多数用在指同一时期的事物发展情况，但并非绝对一致，应视具体句意来定，
这是我瞎编的一个例子，不大好，凑合的看：

the second one I think the answer should be E, cuz it lacks of comparison.作者: David0822 时间: 2002-11-19 01:44
第一题可由OG里的类似题得知答案应是B，请注意ETS给的解释To establish the clearest comparison between circumstances in 1973 and those in 1984, a separate clause is needed to describe each year.
81. In 1973 mortgage payments represented twenty-one percent of an average thirty-year-old male's income; and forty-four percent in 1984.
(A) income; and forty-four percent in 1984
(B) income; in 1984 the figure was forty-four percent
(C) income, and in 1984 forty-four percent
(D) income, forty-four percent in 1984 was the figure
(E) income that rose to forty-four percent in 1984
To establish the clearest comparison between circumstances in 1973 and those in 1984, a separate clause is needed to describe each year. Choices A and C, in failing to use separate clauses, are too elliptical and therefore unclear. Choice A also incor­rectly uses and and a semicolon to separate an independent clause and a phrase. Choice D incorrectly separates two independent clauses with a comma; moreover, the placement of in 1984 is awkward and confusing. In choice E, that refers illogically to income, thereby producing the misstatement that income rather than mortgage payments rose to forty-four percent in 1984. Choice B is best; two properly constructed clauses that clearly express the comparison are separated by a semicolon.
第二题: 补充 luc_yu 的解说
A) The typical holiday shopper, although seduced by row upon row of novelty gifts, tend to purchase more practical
key *主词 动词 不同格
B) As a typical holiday shopper, the tendency to purchase row upon row of novelty gifts is won over by the purchase of more practical
*1. As a typical holiday shopper, the tendency…(主词) + (动词) …。主词the tendency的身份不可能是a shopper。而且用了写作大忌的被动式
C) Typically, the holiday shopper who is attracted to novelty gifts tends to remain practical with
*改变原意 1. typical 修饰shopper 被改为typically修饰整句 2. although 的副词子句被改为
who的形容词子句。
D) The typical holiday shopper, although seduced by row upon row of novelty gifts, tends to purchase more practical
E) The typical holiday shopper, although seduced by row upon row of novelty gifts, tends to purchase the most practical
*改变原意 (原意是more practical)
