prep07-50新问题(关于句意和指代,求探讨)
PREP-50
Many teenagers undergo stress, but results of a recent study indicate that the patterns of stress that
girls experience are more likely to result in depression than are those that boys experience.
(A) are those that boys experience
(B) what boys experience
(C) boys' experience would
(D) boys' stress patterns do
(E) stress patterns of boys
答案是 A
都说those指代patterns,但是A选项的意思变成 patterns that boys experience. 男孩可以经历pattern吗?
带着这个问题分解一下题干里女孩的信息:the patterns of strees that girls experience --> the patterns {of stress (that girls experience)}...这里that做定语修饰stress,女孩经历了stress,而不是pattern.
而A选项: patterns that boys experience. 无论如何也不该让它正确吧。
另外:也许有人说A的those可以理解成指代the patterns of stress这个整体呢?那句子变成those(the patterns of stress) that boys expeience = the boys experience the patterns of stress,男孩经历的还是pattern而不是stress, 而不是像题干里面的that可以就近修饰stress,说girls experience stress.
综上所述,A选项是个corrective性质的错误答案吧?
按照一般GMAC逻辑习惯,A选项可以参考修改为: are those of stress that boys experience
