it was ... that ... and it was ... that ...
还是考的语意:
A/E:it 做形式主语,有强调的意思,A,强调是凯瑟琳变成发行人后华盛顿邮报才进入第一梯队,强调是在凯瑟琳的命令下,这份报纸才因为报道水门事件获得了极高的评价。A句凯瑟琳是句子语意的中心;E,华盛顿邮报获得了高的评价,语意中心是华盛顿邮报。
这里应该是强调凯瑟琳的作用,在凯瑟琳来之前,这份报纸屁都不是,凯瑟琳来了以后,它又是进入第一梯队,又是报道水门事件获得表扬啥啥的,如咸鱼翻身啊~~
D中的they指代歧义,可能指rates。没留意rates也是个复数名词
从主句意思区分AB选项,A主句主体为women,B主体是the majority of students。应该说学生的大多数预计是女性,而不是女性预计是学生的大多数。
As a result of this gift.......我TM....
后面and没有in,所有both排除,C没有核心动词,排除
rate的of型所有格中(做rate的定语)的核心词是fatty foods(consumed in France and the United States是过去分词短语)。在逻辑上,具有相同比率的应该是两个国家人消耗食物这件事情,而不是食物本身拥有比率(食物自己没法有比率)。另外,通常,the rate of food指代的是“食物的价格”。本选项在语意上显然不是“食物的价格在美国法国相同
also是副词,不是连词,所以它不能引导从句,而是做状语修饰某一个动词
A选项:at acquiring carbon的位置不对,注意在划线部分身后的in the form of carbon dioxide,它是一个插入语,会就近修饰fungi,在逻辑上,真正以二氧化碳方式的应该是吸收碳元素的过程(即,acquire carbon),而不是fungi。
GMAT考试会通过“动词”词形以及词性的变化来考查考生对于外延和内涵的理解。例如动词discover,其可以变为:
纯名词:discovery
动名词:discovering
不定式:to discover
分词:discovering/discovered
GMAT考试会通过“动词”词形以及词性的变化来考查考生对于外延和内涵的理解。例如动词discover,其可以变为:
纯名词:discovery
动名词:discovering
不定式:to discover
分词:discovering/discovered
但凡在选项中涉及到这种变化,均可以认为是考查了“外延和内涵”。请考生们千万不要简单的把他们处理为什么动词大于形容词大于名词之类,这是一个非常重要的考点。在题目解析和课程中,你将会一睹它的风采哟。

A选项中,required在单独作形容词时,意思是:必须的、必修的;做动词时(分词短语中的require依然具有动词的词性,可以自己带宾语等),意思是需要的,要求的。
B选项:being的出现强调了require这个动作和reduce这个动作发生的同时性。
E选项:require的宾语的补足语。由于require的约束力很强,所以应该用不定式短语做宾补。
which在语法上其先行词为最近的名词
伴随的本质是一个普通的状语从句,它能表达和主句的因果等关系。
instrumental有帮助的
D选项:由于his literary style和the content of his fiction属于两个没什么交集的内容,所以两者应该具有纯粹的并列平行的关系,而不用as much as。as much as表示其连接的两者在程度上是相同的
大家都说D正确,我想问一下
使用D之后,句子里的代词she会不会显得多余了?
Yes, we can use "think of X as (noun)," but I can't think of a case where "think of X as (adjective)" is useful. It would be easier just to say "think X is (adjective."
The noun form is used when we want someone to look at something a different way:
Person 1: "Thanks for paying for dinner, but you didn't have to do that."
Person 2: "Think of it as an early birthday present."
Pronouns are always a function of intended meaning. You can't memorize mechanical rules for this sort of thing.
E.g.,
My grandfather bought literally thousands of bottles of aspirin, just to ensure that his family would never run out of it even in the event of a nuclear disaster.
"It" = aspirin. (Grandad didn't want to run out of aspirin. "Running out of bottles" wasn't the issue.)
B选项:副词annually应修饰动词emit,即,每年地释放,而不能修饰much。
yes, you can use 'whose' in this sense, because there's no alternative.
the possessive form of 'who(m)' is 'whose'.
the possessive form of 'which' and/or 'that' is also 'whose'.
独立主格结构,当从句主语和主句主语不一致时(workers =/ industry),用名词+分词短语形式表达。E中worker和employ的关系是被动,故用employed。with可去掉。
错选C,have been done时态不对,主从句是同时发生。
