1)The Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to place restrictions on both diesel fuel and diesel engines has sparked a counterattack by the oil industry, saying that the move will exacerbate the nation's fuel supply problems.
A. on both diesel fuel and diesel engines has sparked a counterattack by the oil industry, saying.
B. on both diesel fuel and engines have sparked the oil industry to counterattack, and they say.
C. on both diesel fuel and diesel engines has sparked a counterattack by the oil industry, which says.
D. both on diesel fuel and engines has sparked the oil industry to a counterattack, saying.
E. both on diesel fuel and diesel engines have sparked the oil industry to counterattack, and it says.
C和A的區(qū)別是啥?就是say這個動作到底是industry發(fā)出，還是全句的主語proposal 發(fā)出。這個時候不能根據A認為是saying，就把其它選項殺掉，而應該根據全句的句意，判斷說出這話的應該是industry，因為proposal不會自己反對自己，只有石油工業(yè)才會反對那個限制柴油機使用的proposal。這背后的判斷標準是什么?就是傳說中的邏輯，動作發(fā)出者與動作的合理對應。
The ability of scientists to provide models of the atmosphere's complex responses to changing conditions, like seasonal and daily cycles or different planetary conjunctions, have become ever more accurate.
(A) The ability of scientists to provide models of the atmosphere's complex responses to changing conditions, like seasonal and daily cycles or different planetary conjunctions, have become ever more accurate.
(B) The ability of scientists has become ever more accurate in providing models of the atmosphere's complex responses to changing conditions, such as seasonal and daily cycles or different planetary conjunctions.
(C) Scientists have become able to provide ever more accurate models of the atmosphere's complex responses to such changing conditions as seasonal and daily cycles or different planetary conjunctions.
(D) Scientists have become ever more accurate in their ability for providing models of the atmosphere's complex responses to changing conditions, like seasonal and daily cycles or different planetary conjunctions.
(E) Scientists' ability to provide models of the atmosphere's complex responses to such changing conditions as seasonal and daily cycles or different planetary conjunctions have become ever more accurate.
請注意在每個選項里面accurate的修飾對象， ABE是能力， D是科學家，C是模型。不比不知道，一比就清楚了，應該修飾的是模型。這道題目屬于選項意思之間差異較大的，但確定哪個意思正確，也不是依靠所謂的“原句”，而是修飾和被修飾者的合理對應，比如你不能用婀娜來修飾男人，不能用精確來修飾眉毛，對嗎?
(4)A選項到底有沒有特殊地位?
這個問題只能作為猜想。對于命題者，這個是很好的調控難度的工具。如果想降低難度，把能反映句意的選項設為A，則能幫助考生較快獲得句意，如果想加大難度，則把唧唧歪歪的選項設為A。在這個問題上，主動權全部在GMAC。
