大仙论道之PREP的形合VS意合(一).

　　第一类 ：李代桃僵——以非并列结构连词手段引起意合

　　老PREP 60. (27763-!-item-!-188;#058&003346)

　　Mideast immigrants&apos rates of entrepreneurship exceed virtually every other immigrant group in the increasingly diverse United States economy.

　　(A) Mideast immigrants&apos rates of entrepreneurship exceed

　　(B) Mideast immigrants are exhibiting rates of entrepreneurship exceeding

　　(C) Immigrants from the Mideast exhibit rates of entrepreneurship exceeding those of

　　(D) The rates of entrepreneurship in immigrants from the Mideast exceed

　　(E) The rates of Mideast immigrants&apos entrepreneurship exceeds those of

　　本题的题眼在于“exceed”，其实这是一个隐含的比较，A 超过B，一个隐含前提是A和B需要是对等的事物。以此切入，可知本题是两个rates进行比较，所以those of一定要出现。易得正确选项C。

　　延伸：既然exceed有这种意合，那么所以隐含了比较的动词是否都应该引起我们的警惕?surpass、overweight。。。。。

　　新PREP 220. (29238-!-item-!-188;#058&003590) (GWD-6-Q31)

　　The fact of some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they vary considerably on a spectrum of genetic relatedness.

　　A. The fact of some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they vary considerably

　　B. That some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely that they vary considerably

　　C. With some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar, it highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely considerable variation

　　D. With some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar, it is a fact that highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely a considerable variation

　　E. Because some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly and others look quite dissimilar, this fact highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they vary considerably

　　此题看点在于命题老头对原句精妙的改写。请看：

　　That some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar

　　意思上是不是等于

　　that they vary considerably

　　所以这个句子的原貌是

　　That some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar, namely that they vary considerably，(到此处为主语) highlights(谓语) an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs。

　　此处，namely引起了一个意合，要求两端的形式尽量一致。那么，为啥读者读到的最后版本的句子和上面这个不同呢?原因很简单，就是命题者依据避免主语过长的原则，把namely后面的半截移到了句子最后，进一步加大了题目的难度。这一招在其它题目也出现过，请看这题：

　　GWD-11-Q33:

　　After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.

　　A. tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

　　B. tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help

　　C. tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping

　　D. tested, and it eventually could propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or helping

　　E. tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

　　that从句实际上修饰的是engine，可是被挪后了，目的也是为了减少主语的长度。

　　延伸：老头连namely都能编出意合的题目，所以请一定留心能表达出两边相等关系的东东，如be动词，A means B等等。
