...错了两次终于明白最简单的方法是看SV agreement, ADE中的“that” 在句型结构上只能refers to genesis, 所以用复数的were是错的--只剩BC, 然后用allow to 排除C
个人认为不是类比推理,GV的新墙正好是建在达芬奇的墙前面的。还是要仔细地阅读题干
题干说整个手机市场销量大增,不是所M公司产的手机销量大增
where相当于in which,但是where必须是修饰地点,in which不一定
主谓不一致还可能出现在:定从的谓语动词单复数与先行词单复数
A选项:"illustrating" the erosion of Arboria's position in the world marketplace展示了Arboria在世界市场上的地位削弱:Arboria的地位衰退是整体文章针对的一个现象,但作者的本意不仅仅是描述这个现象,更重要的是指出背后的原因和警示政策指定人采取相应的措施。
the erosion of Arboria's position in the world marketplace只是文章开头描述的现象,不是本文主旨(要分清开头给出的【现象】和【主旨】的区别)
illustrate = show(更偏向于"展示"而不是"解释")
作者主旨并非show这一现象!
同时,文章也有呼吁的特征:policy makers不怎么怎么样,就会怎么怎么样!
C选项:advocating a "reassessment" of Arboria's trade policy鼓励对Arboria外贸政策的重新评估:作者指出Arboria现在存在的不足,目的是为了让其认识到不足并且采取相应措施。
reassessment:If you make a reassessment of something, you think about it and decide whether you need to change your opinion about it.
完整含义是:重新评估并决定是否修正
B选项:正确。MG不得不改变一些流行的观点,为了给他的运动找到一个立足点:这些学者认为MG"创造"了新的consciousness,那么他一定是"改变"了一些东西才能创造新的。
原文:Some scholars have argued that Garvey 【created】 the consciousness from which he built, in the 1920s, the largest revitalization movement in African American history.
选项:Marcus Garvey had to 【change】 a number of prevailing attitudes in order for his mass movement to find a foothold in the United States.
E选项主句还原后的语序为
a joint canadian-russian study(S) found(V)opening those routes to thousands more commercial planes a year(O)as both feasible and desirable(C)
find身后只能用宾语从句,不能用宾语+宾补的形式。
原来一直觉得A选项证明力度不够,现在觉得还是有一定道理,思维如下:
题目中确定的果是,鸟少了;一个人说鸟少同时树少,所以是树少导致的鸟少;另一个人说鸟少而且虫少(吃的少),所以是虫少(吃的少)导致的鸟少;
选项A的意思是,即使吃的不少,鸟也会少;
这种论证有没有道理呢?我觉得如果类比想象一下,在一个科学实验中,A组B组都看到了一种现象,科学家试图去解释为什么会有这种现象,然后发现A组B组都有X特征,他们会更容易去想是X导致的这个现象;而A组有Y特征,B组却没有Y特征,科学家就没有很强的理由说A组的现象一定是由Y特征导致的,因为在这种情况下归因到Y显然要比归因到X要弱很多;
诚然,这种论证不能证明是A组实验中被观察到的现象一定不是Y造成的,但是却能证明A组在实验中的现象更有可能是X造成的;对于给出了两种不同的归因解释选其一的情景,确实是有weaken的效果;
回到这道题目来,如果两组鸟都减少了,一个有虫够吃一个虫不够吃,但是都面临树少,我们更有理由相信是树少导致的鸟少。虽然不能证明题目中的鸟少一定不是因为虫少造成的,但是给我们理由相信鸟少更有可能是树少造成的。

答案简单得我都没敢选....
有没有人想过,therefore后面根本不是结论,结论是居民没理由撒谎,前提是20年前狮子就已经被赶走了,这样C就质疑了因果关系。
B选项:discussing the [relative merits] of strategic partnerships as compared with those of market exchange relationships讨论战略伙伴关系与市场交换关系的相对优点 (merit n. 优点,价值)
文章没有进行【对比】!
C选项:正确。挑战日本公司运营的前提条件的有效性
在(C)中,所以rivaling的主语为to create an army of terra-cotta warriors
to create an army of terra-cotta warriors took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years
一个思路:想不清楚是因果还是并列的时候,想时间的先后,因在时间上一定先于果,因此用and的必须是并列而不是因果
即使看不懂句子,也要发现平行,从而选择正确的选项
A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。some formed as commercial ventures, others as religious havens是the thirteen original British colonies in North America 【同位语】,each为the thirteen original British colonies的【同位语!】,[整个句子的谓语动词是had]。抛开同位语,主干为:
The thirteen original British colonies in North America "each" [had] a written charter.
这个句子类似于:
We "each" finished GMAT。(我们中的每一个人都完成了GMAT考试)
C选项:that formed as commercial ventures是定语从句,先行词some在该从句中充当主语。在逻辑上,不能是some主动发出form这个动作,只能是被构成,即,form应是被动语态。划线部分身后的代词its的指代对象必须为单数名词,这造成了其在本题中没有指代对象。(语法上,通过划线部分身后的“ that set forth [its] form of ....”可判断句子主干应为The thirteen original British colonies in North America "each" [had] a written charter.)
【all与未划线部分its单复数不匹配】
D选项:逻辑上,all had a written charter的主宾搭配是不正确的。不能是所有的13个殖民地共有一个宪章,每个殖民地应有自己的宪章。
E选项:【连词while】不能添加,其使得others as religious havens缺少谓语动词。(连词必须连接两个句子!)
借用本题,我们总结一下关于one,the other,another等词的用法。通常来说:
1) 泛指N个中的另一个用[another],即,one…another…。
2) 一定范围内两人(物),一个用one,另一个用[the other]。
3) 一定范围内三者,一个用one,另一个用[one another],第三个可用[the other、a third]。
4) 一定范围内,除去一部分人/物,剩余的全部用[the others]。
5) 泛指别的人或物时,用[others]当在一定范围内,除去一部分后,剩余部分但不是全部时,也用others。
A选项:from each one to others用法错误,泛指群体里两个个体之间的关系应该用one…another…。另外,动名词 imitating and practicing应改为名词imitation and practice。这点考查了名词和ing的区别,用之于本题,由于本题整体讲的是一个自然现象,模仿和练习这两个事件是每一代猩猩遗传下去的根本,这两个事件是世世代代猩猩重复的事件,必然是有时间终止点的事件,应用名词形式。
【ing短语表达的是一种“过程”,没有明确的时间终点
名词短语具有明确的时间终点
(1) Exploring the cave is taking a long time. 正确,终止时间未知
(2) The exploration of the cave took three days. 正确,终止时间已知
(3) **Discovering fossil bones repeats again and again. 错误,未结束的事件不可重复
(4) The discovery of fossil bones repeats again and again. 正确】
B选项:will exhibit是一般将来时,其需要改为一般现在时。这是因为,本题讨论的是一个一般性的事实,应该用一般现在时而非将来时。
E选项:首先,where做定语从句的关系词时,只能修饰地点名词。本题中显然地,先行词curiosity不是地点名词,因此其定语从句不能用where引导。另外,from each one to others应改为from one to another。这是因为,这些新的表达方式应该是从一个猩猩传播给另一个猩猩,而不是一个猩猩传给剩余的所有人。
The problem with choice E is in the placement of the modifier ("For consumers and businesses making a large number of..."). Since this comes before the main clause, "the government predicts...", the implication is that the government is making a prediction for the sake of those consumers and businesses: the prediction is "for" them - and may not even mean that their rates will fall!
Choice A, on the other hand, correctly captures the intended meaning of the sentence: The government is making a general prediction (it's not a prediction aimed at anybody in particular), about the rate cuts that will be experienced by certain individuals.
the passive voice is indeed a problem, because it's unnecessary. (remember that the passive voice should only be employed when there's a fairly compelling reason to use it.) in choice b especially, there's also an unacceptably long distance between the passive-voice action (will be greatly reduced) and the agent of that action (by the ...).
one thing you should definitely notice in choice c is the wordiness of 'the government's prediction is'. constructions like that, which can easily be replaced by more compact forms ('the government predicts') with no change in meaning, are ALWAYS wrong. (also, you need the word 'that' after 'is'.)
the prepositional phrase at the beginning of choice e is an example of a dangling modifier: one isn't quite sure exactly what it's supposed to modify. according to the strict rules followed by the gmat, this phrase should technically modify the action directly following the comma (the government predicts), which doesn't make sense: the government is not making predictions for the benefit of consumers and businesses (rather, it is merely making projections).

及物动词后面要直接放宾语,而介词短语不可以做宾语。如果及物动词后面配上介词短语,那么该介词短语是及物动词的状语
