In Forces of Production, David Noble examines the transformation of the machine-tool industry as the industry moved from reliance on skilled artisans to automation. Noble writes from a Marxist perspective, and his central argument is that management, in its decisions to automate, conspired against labor.
transformation, 转型,转化
Marxist perspective, 马克思主义观点
不是问文章内容主旨!
consider 是linking verb+adj。
BD去掉了
然后E的语义不对把 pursue possibility
In the sentence as written, the phrase as well is used incorrectly as a substitute for also. Furthermore, the incorrect construction such . . . like is used rather than such . . . as.
The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.
如果用了was banked那就是跟house平行 banked跟its framework平行
语义来说是跟framework所以去掉了DE
an isolation that limited both cultural contact and exposure to European diseases.
E. This choice incorrectly uses the singular pronoun it to refer to the plural reasons. On the other hand, its use of preoccupied with, curious about, and neither . . . nor are all correct.
读懂题!!!怎么用deficit explanation来削弱discrepancy的
答案E,提到的高interest rate同时减缓服务业和制造业产量,和赤字里提到的低interest rate提高投资,从而提高产量,形成了比较
因为影响相同,所以两个行业就没有discrepancy
E. This choice uses the idiomatically incorrect form ruled the . . . club rather than the idiomatically correct ruled that . . . Furthermore, the phrase not eligible to be exempted is wordy and would be more clearly stated ineligible for exemption as in choice C.
As written, the possessive adjective its fails to make clear whether it is to the court or to the club that the argument mentioned is being attributed.
Note that choices B and D are immediately disqualified by their use of the incorrect preposition of immediately following exempted. The correct usages are: exemption from, exempt from, and exempted from.
redundancy 的问题:most dramatic 比 more dramatic than any ...更好
D:have yet been discovered 放在birds and dinosaurs后面会造成歧义。
BD是后面的owns跟前面的three冲突了
CE 语义不对?
the placement of "simultaneously" is problematic. it describes "avoid"... so it should appear directly next to "avoid", as it does in the correct answer.
GMAT中like不能用于举例!
定位doubt到原文里去
选项C:and表示连接的两个独立事件,而这个两个事件是同时发生,且有关系,需要用modifier来附属
C正确的原因:free oleic acid less-->quality higher
free oleic acid proportion-->measure acidity
选的C,没有注意to do和doing的区别!!!
to do 就是很directly的action
doing就是与这个action有关,但不是直接关系
alliance 联盟,consolidation合并,巩固,统一
rapidly dividing 和 actively dividing不是一个意思
Noble fails to substantiate this claim, although his argument is impressive when he applies the Marxist concept of "de-skilling"
commend, 赞赏
仔细读题!
