58. That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault: Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.
(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault
(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault
(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology
(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
答案解析如下:
(A)That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault
【错误】 句子结构:“that it is their fault”本意想做“said”的宾语,表示“说”的内容,但“said”本身是被动形式,无法连接宾语,因此从句“that it is their fault”既不做主语,也不做宾语,更不会做其他成分,因此是一个“孤立”的从句。
(B)That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault
【错误】 句子意思:“That”引导的从句“can hardly be said to be at fault”(“不能说有过失”)语义不搭配,一个从句所讲的的一件事无法与“at fault”(“有过失”)搭配。
(C)It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
【错误】 代词指代:GMAT语法中,“it”作为代词应指代句中已经出现的名词性结构,而此处“it”无所指代,“It can hardly” 中的“it”可以指代“that”引导的从句,而“that it is the fault of”中的“it”无所指代。
(D)It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology
【正确】 “It can hardly be said”中的“it”作形式主语正确地指代了“that”引导的名词性从句。“educators are at fault for not anticipating”正确使用了“be at fault for doing sth.”的固定搭配。
【大意】 很难说没能预期到微型计算机技术的影响是教育学家的错误:Alvin Toffler,未来学在显赫的弟子之一,在1970年出版的《Future Shoc》甚至根本就没有提到过微型计算机。
(E)The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
【错误】 句子意思:“The fact that……”是在用“that”引导的名词性从句作“the fact”的同位语,表达“the fact”的内容,这本身就是多此一举的。不仅如此,由日常逻辑可知,本句的本意是“不能说教育家有没能预期微型电脑技术的影响的过失”,因此“that educators are
at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology”并不是一个“fact”(“事实”)。
【最优解题思路推荐】
(A)中“can hardly be said that”句子结构有问题,因此可以当作必错搭配排除。
(B)中语法上“can hardly be said to be said at fault”的逻辑主语是“that”引导的从句,句意不合理,排除。
(C)中“it is the fault……”中的“it”无所指代,排除。(E)中“the fact that……”表意不合理,排除。
因此选择(D)。
