1.动词,根据前半句可以得知,在他死之前,他已经是最有名的画家了,所以要用过去完成时,had been,ADE错
2.句子结构,E没有主句,E错
3.简洁,at least two decades or more previous to表达错误,不简洁,AC错
4.动词,die是一个瞬间动词,这里不应该用dying,有专有名词death,C错
1.idiom,前面有个as much...应该想到是as much ...as..ABE用的than,ABE错
2.idiom, such as才能用来举例,AB错、
3.平行,as mcuh...as...前后应该平行,这里省略掉了 相同的petroleum exists主谓,as则后面应该是in...C错
1.Idiom:强调句型so that或者so...as to,注意so ...as to的逻辑主语前后一致。
BE错
2.措辞,unable一般用于人,这里C用法错误,C错
3.简洁,enough not to be表达很奇怪,而且enough主要用于表示主观满足,书面表达中很少用。
关于enough:
enough的固定搭配:
enough for sb. 对某人来说足够了
enough to do something 足够做某事
错误搭配:(X) enough + ”that / so as to / so to / so that”。
1.逻辑推理,hold的是一件事,而不是一个东西,DE错
2.动词,begin是一个过去的瞬间动作,而且这个是既定事实,直接用一般过去式就好了,BCE错
expand则相反,是一个持续的动作,到现在还在持续,所以要用现在完成时,表示从过去持续到现在,BD错
1.idiom:between and才对,BE错
2.逻辑推理,句首是悬垂结构,按说后面应该马上跟逻辑主语才对,这里AB不好,C错。
3.动词时态,remain应该用过去式就好了,BC错。注意是
4.逻辑推理+句子结构,这里typically部分应该是同位语解释 their clients的,最简洁的直接用 typically就行了,ABE错
5.逻辑推理,修饰词的位置in England放在insurance后面表示是它的定语,更好,AB不好。
1.idiom:between...and....,AB的with错
2.idiom:词组,not so much...as....,ABE错
3.平行,not so much in...but in...,前后应该都是用介词in,B错
4.措辞,这里应该用lie(位于)而不是lay(下蛋),AE错
5.idiom:difference from和difference/distinction between A and B,
D错,没有distinction from
补充:
lie / lay做动词时用法说明
lie为不及物动词;lay为及物动词。
lie : 1.lie - lied - lied 撒谎
2.lie - lay - lain 躺着;平放
lay : lay - laid - laid 产卵,下蛋;放,搁
1.idiom,like不能用来举例,ACE错
2.平行,DE的and前面有逗号,按说应该后面是一个完整的句子,DE不太好。
3.代词,逻辑推理。还是按平行来理解,如果忽略逗号的问题,and后面是一个名词,前面应该也是名词,可以跟those平行的只有attitudes,那么这里的those指代就出错了,因为句意不是要表达对Merits的态度。DE错
4.Idiom. help sb (to) do sth或者help (to) do,用help sth搭配错误,DE错
5.idiom,Along with短语引导的是伴随状语,不可以表示平行关系也不可以做连词使用,A错
6.C的also about错误,also不可以作为连接词使用
为什么like无法表举例?
like表示举例是口语表达的习惯,用在书面表达是不规范的。因为Like的意思倾向于像...一样,是当比较词来用的。
我觉得这题的E选项有点争议,因为文中的目标是sharp reduction,如果比重很高的话那就起不到sharp reduction的作用,如果比重很低那就可能可以,有点迷。
其实我也选错了,不过仔细想来:E选项虽然提到H地区用正确姿势使用电脑的比例——但即便这个比例再高,文段中已经指出因为maintaining an incorrect posture而造成的injuries是common的。因此,从总体上,文段给的信息暗示:只要采取的手段能够改正posture,都可以sharp reduction。
, that gives mouth sores to cattle and displaces grasses and other cattle food, that前面为啥加逗号,that指代leafy spurge还是milky sap?如果是指代milky sap 为啥不用逗号+which 而用逗号+that?
跳跃修饰Milky sap,that前面的逗号不是它的,而是插入语双逗号的后面那个
that 修饰是plant才说的通
这一段的中心 self-realization depends on the harmonious reconciliation of two universal psychological tendencies:
自我实现决定于 balabala 两个psychological tendencies的一致,即个体与外在,与C选项一致。
错误选择了B
一心定位在 第三段第一句 offer a surer road to truth
B选项the discipline needed in the search for truth的问题可能在于 discipline needed 太过于肯定
原文只是说offer a surer road ...
D clues to 比较符合
答案定位。
It is illustrated by their emphasis upon introspection—their belief that the clue to external nature is to be found in the inner world of individual psychology—and by their interpretation of experience as, in essence, symbolic.
这个句子结构 It is illustrated by ... and by ....
大概意思就是外在的世界通过内心寻找。
According to the passage, the five writers object to the scientific method primarily because they think it
object to反对
定位最后一段。
A third assumption common to the five writers is that intuition and imagination offer a surer road to truth than does abstract logic or scientific method.
这句话直接将intuition and imagination 与abstract logic or scientific method比较。
错选C cannot provide an adequate explanation of intuition and imagination
错误定位:Both these stresses presume an organic relationship between the self and the cosmos of which only intuition and imagination can properly take account.
scientific method的问题不在于不能解释intuition and imagination
而在于 intuition and imagination offer a surer road
文章主旨
第一段第二句,humanistic perspective
这是关于人生观的文章,DE 关于写作,错误
some of their beliefs about the difficulties involved in self-realization
- difficulties 错
some of their beliefs concerning the world and the place that humanity occupies in the universal order
some of their beliefs concerning the relationship between humanism and democracy
----democracy 错
the way some of their beliefs are shaped by differences in temperament and literary outlook
----- shaped by differences in temperament and literary outlook 不是目的
the effects of some of their beliefs on their writings
----on their writings不是目的
先搞懂题干问什么。
It can be inferred that the analyses of the author of the passage and the scholars mentioned in lines 20–23 (After…legislative victories) differ with regard to which of the following?
After the mid-1920s, few successes could be claimed by feminist reformers: little could be seen in the way of legislative victories.
---这部分内容是feminist scholars 的观点。或者是作者提出者指向feminist scholars的。
--- analyses of the author of the passage主要体现在第3段。
there was intense activism aimed at achieving increased autonomy for women, broadening the spheres within which they lived their daily lives. Women’s organizations worked to establish opportunities for women: they strove to secure for women the full entitlements of citizenship, including the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries.
这里讲到women的各种achievement,意在反驳第二段的decline。
两部分的内容用了不同的内容去支撑,双方进一步争论可能就是这些证据能不能support。也就是选项A criteria
有点犹豫D
D Their definitions of what constitutes a legislative victory
考虑到legislative victory是第二段出现在feminist scholars后的。第三段作者没有纠结legislative的东西,所以不选。
B\E中犹豫。
“Why don’t you ask if suffrage in general is failing?”是个反问,言下之意是suffrage in general ...
也就是问题不在于性别
B point out contradictions inherent in the goals of the women’s suffrage movement
--- contradictions inherent in the goals 这一句的意思是“不应该强调男女”,但并不是说女权运动目标本身内在存在矛盾。
E suggest that the old view of women’s suffrage was inappropriate
---意思就是女权学者认为old view思考问题的角度有问题。也就是old view ... inappropriate
文章内容范围:女权。。。具体是女性投票权。
看到这类文章表示非常恶心!!!调整呼吸,认知做。GMAT真的是专门来挑事恶心人的。
原文分段大意:
第一段。feminist scholars 反对老观点。
反对的出发点:the unkept “promises” of the women’s suffrage movement
女权学者的反对内容:1)女性投票权没有物化,投票权没有为女性获取长期政治收益;2)suffrage a failure for not delivering on the promise。
概括起来就是女权学者反对旧观点认为投票没有gain,没有deliver on the promise。
但是被问到“Asked whether women’s suffrage was a failure”,这些女权学者很“哲学”含糊的说:“Why don’t you ask if suffrage in general is failing?”
第二段。这些学者让步however承认:In some ways, however, these scholars still present the 1920s as a period of decline.
这些女权学者认为:the feminist movement lost its cohesiveness, and gender consciousness waned(苍白).
然后黑体讲了当时的历史事实。
第三段。又是讲当时的历史,大意是activism, women's organizations怎么争取女权。
During this decade, however, there was intense activism aimed at achieving increased autonomy for women,…… Women’s organizations worked to ……
----------------
概括大意:
第一段。近期女权学者对以前的老观点提出反对,但是被直接问到女性投票是不是失败,这些女权学者又支支吾吾。
第二段。然后这些女权学者仍然表示女性投票的一些decline。
第三段。将历史上一些群体怎么为女性争取权利。
这篇文章恶心的地方在于,文章讨论的group观点含糊、作者本身也没观点——整篇文章就是指出有这么一些废物feminist scholars,然后提出一些没有任何见地的想法。
有一个group(feminist scholars)反对老观点,但是又没有新观点,而且某些地方还与反对的内容相反(still present)
然后文章作者最后又写了一些事实——也没有任何立场观点,也看不出来是想支撑上文哪部分内容,支撑新观点还是反对新观点。
----------------
选项分析。
A ……failed to reach some of their goals
这是一篇没有立场的文章,全文就是在讨论是不是failure,最终都没有观点,这个选项旗帜鲜明地说fail,与原文不符。
B presenting scholarship that contrasts suffragist “promises” with the historical realities of the 1920s
--contrasts suffragist “promises” 女权学者并不是反对suffragist “promises”
-- with the historical realities of the 1920s 也不对,虽然最后一段有历史,但是不是为了present scholarship
C discussing recent scholarship concerning the achievements of women’s suffrage during the 1920s and presenting an alternative view of those achievements
-- 个人觉得难点在于alternative view 不知道是不是指女权学者本身
D outlining recent findings concerning events leading to suffrage for women in the 1920s and presenting a challenge to those findings
---- 这个选项比较难。 recent findings错误,因为并没有findings,尤其选项说是leading to……即suffrage本身的finding。但文章其实是女权学者的opinion。没有findings。present challenge to……这就很迷惑了,因为recent的只有女权学者的opinion, 文章没有其他内容challenge女权学者了。
E providing support for a traditional view of the success
--没有support old view
1.句子结构,B没有谓语且双重主语,C的最后一个they这句话缺少连接词,E选项and之前也缺谓语,BCE错
2.平行,从后面的, and have可以看出,前面动词应该都是平行的,没有and才对,CE错
3.修饰词,carrying 修饰名词,是错的。D错
1.虚拟语气,if句型里面不应该出现would,B错
而且撞地球这个事是假设的事,前后都是假设的情况,后面应该用could表示有可能
所以AE的strikes都错了,AD的can do也错了,ABDE错
2.代词指代错误,E的第二个it指代的是地球,这样句意错误E错,而且it多余了,that可以当代词指代主语
1.措辞,one to another用法正确,从一个传到其他的,AE错
2.动词时态,will exhibit 导致句意错误,他们未来会做某事所以...这个应该是研究出来的结果,存在事实,不用will.BC错
3.措辞,by doing还是by gerund,这里最好用专属名词,因为是介词后面,如果要用doing可能需要加所有格,AB相对不好
4.句意推理,so that还是by wich,这里用where肯定是错的,E错
so that表示一个因果关系,因为exhibit,所以一定会产生新模式?答案当然是否定的。因此ABC错。
