D) is the correct answer. It employs the parallel construction, 'the sports car is.... than (is) usual for a ...'. (A) is ruled out because it does not create a parallel comparison. In (B), the 'it' is redundant; so is the 'one' in (C). (E) is incorrect because of the verb tense, which should stay in the present. (D) is the best answer because it uses parallel construction.

321. That the new managing editor rose from the publication's "soft" news sections to a leadership position is more of a landmark in the industry than her being a woman.
A.
B.being a woman is
C.her womanhood
D.that she was a woman
E.that she is a woman
这题的C/E两个答案搞不明白，因为than是连词，那么两边应该平行对称，如果这么分析答案应该选C。但是正确答案却为何为E？

以下是引用Louisa_xy在2003-1-9 21:31:44的发言：
你已经分析对了-“两边应该平行对称”，谓语动词is前后比较的对象应该是对称的，前面是一个that引导的从句，后面也应该是个that从句，答案应该在D\E里。she is a woman是一个事实，用is不用was.

265.Research during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes (that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity) instead of underlying simplicity.
A.
B.of producing and understanding it have revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity
C.by which it is produced and understood has revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity
D.by which it is produced and understood have revealed great complexity rather than underlying simplicity
E.by which one produces and understands it have revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity
初看此题，以为考not...but, rather than, instead of 三者优先关系，故选C，请问谁能分析A/C两个答案的优劣？
以下是引用Louisa_xy在2003-1-8 9:40:39的发言：
答案应该在A\C里选，因为要用单数谓语动词 has.A/C哪一个更好，需要从修饰processes的定语从句判断。
A. produce 和make 是平行的关系，都是及物动词，"it understandable"是produce 和make的共同宾语，但是produce it understandable讲不通
C.it is produced and understood 意思清晰
以下是引用justag在2003-1-9 2:41:38的发言：
good point!!! I read the questions more than once, and still neglect the trap: procude it and make it understandable (the first "it" can't be omited to prevent confuse)
以下是引用天山一绝在2003-1-9 13:38:06的发言：
A 中that 应该指代nature, 所以谓语应该用单数第三人称，故A错。
以下是引用Louisa_xy在2003-1-9 17:11:14的发言：
A C 里的it都是指代nature
以下是引用alex在2003-1-9 20:56:45的发言：
先谢谢诸位！
就这题，再深入问个问题：定从引导词that指代谁？在新东方上课时将，that应该就近指代，即process,但这样显然不能理解原句。我认为，应该按照传统语法，跳过中间修饰成分（during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes)直接指代research。
以下是引用Louisa_xy在2003-1-9 21:02:50的发言：
that指的是process，产生nature并使nature可被理解的process.如果that不能指research,
不是research产生了语言的特点。

{Originally developed for detecting air polluants, a technique called proton-induced x-ray emmission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,} is finding uses in medicine, archaeology,and criminology.
A.
B.Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, having the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almaost any substance without destroying it, a technique called proton induced x-ray emission
C.A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants,called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,
D.A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants,called proton-induced x-ray emission, which has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying it,
E.A technique that was originally developed for detecting for detecting air pollutants and has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying the substance,called proton-induce x-ray emission,
Why E is incorrect? How to analyze?
214.
The technical term"pagination" {is a process that leaves editors, instead of printers, assemble} the page images that become the metal or plastic plates used in printing.
B. refers to a process that allows editors, rather than printers, to assemble
C. is a process leaving the editors, rather than printers, to asssemble
Why C is incorrect?
218.
The aristocratic values expressed in the writings of Marguerite Yourcenar place her within the French classical tradition, {as does} her passionate interest in history,particularly Roman history.
A. as does
B. so do
C. as do
D. so is the case with
E. similarly, does
Why the answer is A?
225.
Slaes of United States manufactrued goods to nonindustrialized countried rose to $167 billion in 1992,{ which is 14percent more than the previous year }and largely offsets weak demand from Euroope and Japan.
D. an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was
E an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure
Why D is incorrct?
238.
{Very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, the renewed interest in ceiling fans began} when the energy crisis in 1974 f9rced homeowners to look for alternative methods of heating and cooling.
A.
B. The renewed interest in ceiling fans, which were very popular from 1910 until the 1920's began
C. After they were very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, the renewed interest in ceiling fans was beginning
D. Ceiling fans were very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, with renewed interest beginning in them
E. From 1900 until the 1920's ceiling fans were very popular, and now the renewed interest in them has begun
Why b is correcct and e is incorrect?
*****************************************
*****************************
My personal Explanation:
208.
The Correct Ans. is (A).
E is not right because, first, “called proton-induced x-ray emission” maybe wrongly placed there, it will confused us that the “substance” is “called proton-induced x-ray emission”.
214.
The Correct Ans. is (B).
C is wrong: “the term is a process” does not make sense, should like this: “A refers to B”; and, “leaving” clause’s logic subject is “the term”, so, wrong.
218.
The Correct Ans. is (A).
First, “her passionate interest” is single form N., needs single form V., so only “does” in (A) and (E) match; (E) is obviously wrong for the awkward “similarly”, and the wrong sequence of the sentence.
Be careful of the usage of “AS” and “SO”. If the (B) is like this: “so does”, we also can pick it as right one.
Chewing these:
“The aristocratic values place her within Classical, as does her interest.”
“The aristocratic values place her within Classical, so does her interest.”
225.
The Correct Ans. is (E).
D is wrong because, first, we cannot say “a amount is more than …” we should say “greater/higher than, etc.”; Secondly, “a mount more than the year was” is really awkward. The two parts of Comparison should be parallel! Top important!
238.
The Correct Ans. is (B).
E is incorrect. First because “From 1900until the 1920’s” is awkward and wordy, we should say “From 1900 to … ”; Second reason is that “has begun” has no reason to be here: have/has + V.p.p. should be with “a period” in which the V. lasted and till now.
Hope it is clear. Have any more questions, pls feel free to contact with me. Let’s discuss and grow up together.

小弟补充一下....
当初 白大仙的解释：
208 E 除了楼上的解释 还有就是 ability to ...与can的区别啊！ ability 是说某个东东有某种能力... can表示一种判断...
214 白说“term=a process 你有毛病！”
225 只有 an amount 和 figure 可以比较....
238 e 的 now 也不对啊..
以下是引用arrymin在2003-1-8 10:51:00的发言：
thanks to victor_jzg and 卧室春竹，偶有些明白了。
214题，从句意上理解：技术术语是一种过程，因此c不对。
225题，an amount与high/great搭配不与more搭配。
218题，此处as的用法与so一样。
以上是偶明白了的一些想法，如有不对，望指正。
但还有一些不明白的地方：
208题，为何c选项不对呢？还有此处which的用法有什么讲究吗？
238题，victor兄弟的解释中，第一点说"from 1900until the 1920's"与"from 1900 to ...."的区别，可是在B,E中不是一样的吗？选项e时态的确有问题，但为什么其他选项不对呢？其句子结构又是怎样呢？
还有225题，平行结构不是说助动词和介词尽量补出吗？如果正确选项中有助动词补出是否更完美些？如可以助动词是was吗？
以下是引用justag在2003-1-9 2:36:53的发言：
208
Just saw two similiar problems on this board today. By "similiar" I mean:
prep. phrase, + prep phrase (at the beginning of the sentence and with no "AND/OR" linking them), subject+V (constituting the main sentence) is weired and must be wrong.
In C, "which" is separated by so so many words from "the technique", isn't it unfriendly to you? Compare A with C... you digest it
225
I don't think it's the issue of "higher amount" or "more amount", but that of "higher percentage" or "more percentage". Apparently, "14 percent higher" is more idiomatic. So, for percent(age), higher or lower; for amount, I'm not sure.Does the sentence below make sense to you?
The amount of water in the left cup is more than that in the right cup.
Sales rose to $167 million, an amount that is 14% higher than the previous year's figure (was).
"the previous year" can't be compared with the "amount", but "an amount that is 14% higher than that in the previous year was" should be ok bah(so TANG SENG though)
238.
Other choices are either inidiomatic or non-logical due to "interest were popular"
以下是引用arrymin在2003-1-9 10:13:20的发言：

How to analyze it?
1."would be insecure" is more accurate than "was insecure" since it's just the expectation of the French.

A.
B. doubt that Troy has ever existed
C. were in doubt as to the existence of Troy
D. were doubtful concerning Troy's existence

作者: VICTOR_JZG 时间: 2003-1-12 01:41 标题: Only My opinion!
No244，why use "establishing"另外，最后未划线部分是什么成分？
(My opinion)
A.不对；一个句子里不能有两个主谓结构，除非加and；
C, D, E把同位语变成了目的从句，没有理由；
B正确，因为这是一个后置的主语同位语，因为太长，防止头重脚轻而放在后面。最后未划线部分是workers的定语从句。
248， 正确答案d中比原题增加了also,少了although,为什么？
(My opinion)
从句和主句之间并没有转折关系的需要，A, B, C中用转折连词没有理由；
E中的“and also连用永远错”(白大侠口语)。
249，如何分析？
(My opinion)
首先要理解句子的意思：Oberlin College在1833年建校时就决定招收男女学生而被认为是一个renegade institution(1833年，男女同校可是不允许的哟！)。
所以“in deciding at it founding in 1833 to accept…”这个表达方式最为简洁而明了；因为是“决定招收男女学生”这件事而被认为是renegade的；正确答案选D。
首先排除E，有动词accept就不用名词acceptance，显然wordy；E中by使用错误：“通过决定…”？
A的错误在于它可能使我们产生这样的误解：Oberlin College在1833年建校时被认为是renegade的，因为决定招收男女学生；那么，建校10年后呢？
B用for the decision显然没有in deciding好，因为是“决定招收男女学生”这件事而被认为是renegade的，并非决定本身；同理C也错。同时，C中的时间状语从句没有介词短语简洁，还有也可能是我们产生与A同样的误解。
250，why choice A?
(My opinion)
首先还是要理解句子的意思：“那种研究方式还不具备可操作性”。B的句意正好相反，错；
一般表示“达到某种程度，以致…”一般用so…that句型而少用so…as to。C中的 “for such studies as this”表达方式有误，同时“to have …”不对。
我当初作题的时候，看见so就在有that的两句中选，首先就排除了C, D, E，然后再排除B的。
243, why not choice A?
(My opinion)
如果选A，这个句子是否没有主语了？

除非原题中began之前漏了一个逗号,否则不应该是答案
The renewed interest in ceiling fans, which were very popular from 1910 until the 1920s began when the energy crisis in 1974 forced homeowners to look for alternative methods of heating and cooling.

{Very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, the renewed interest in ceiling fans began} when the energy crisis in 1974 f9rced homeowners to look for alternative methods of heating and cooling.
A.
B. The renewed interest in ceiling fans, which were very popular from 1910 until the 1920s began
C. After they were very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, the renewed interest in ceiling fans was beginning
D. Ceiling fans were very popular from 1900 until the 1920's, with renewed interest beginning in them
E. From 1900 until the 1920's ceiling fans were very popular, and now the renewed interest in them has begun
Why b is correcct and e is incorrect?
*****************************************
*****************************
My personal Explanation:
238.
The Correct Ans. is (B).
E is incorrect. First because “From 1900until the 1920’s” is awkward and wordy, we should say “From 1900 to … ”; Second reason is that “has begun” has no reason to be here: have/has + V.p.p. should be with “a period” in which the V. lasted and till now.
Hope it is clear. Have any more questions, pls feel free to contact with me. Let’s discuss and grow up together.

小弟补充一下....
当初 白大仙的解释：
208 E 除了楼上的解释 还有就是 ability to ...与can的区别啊！ ability 是说某个东东有某种能力... can表示一种判断...
214 白说“term=a process 你有毛病！”
225 只有 an amount 和 figure 可以比较....
238 e 的 now 也不对啊..
以下是引用arrymin在2003-1-8 10:51:00的发言：
thanks to victor_jzg and 卧室春竹，偶有些明白了。
以上是偶明白了的一些想法，如有不对，望指正。
但还有一些不明白的地方：
238题，victor兄弟的解释中，第一点说"from 1900until the 1920's"与"from 1900 to ...."的区别，可是在B,E中不是一样的吗？选项e时态的确有问题，但为什么其他选项不对呢？其句子结构又是怎样呢？
还有225题，平行结构不是说助动词和介词尽量补出吗？如果正确选项中有助动词补出是否更完美些？如可以助动词是was吗？

这题我也做错了，仔细看看，猜测猜测，供大家讨论
B:现在觉得那个vary的现在进行式用的不好，应该是描述一个事实，不用现在进行式
BDE里面都是among women and houses，觉得不够贴切吧，容易歧义，把women和houses当成一个整体范围来vary了
C里面就是style和后面定于从句的动词不匹配，应该a style that varies
大家再讨论吧！
