错选了D,我觉得对d最好的解释就是:D选项的逻辑是:高椅子呆的时间少—待的时间少的人一般点的也越便宜—换成高椅子会使单点得更便宜,所以换高椅子虽然接的客多了,但点的也会便宜。但是,这种逻辑关系很可能是反的。也许是因为这些本来打算不待多久的人才会去高椅子,如果你店里的所有椅子都换成高椅子,难道大家都会因此点得更少更便宜吗?正确的理解应该是只有用餐时间少的人才会去坐高椅子,而不是高椅子会使人用餐时间少单少。
reject sb to do sth,拒绝某人做某事;
而不是拒绝了某人为了去做某事
to prevent...修饰的是the efforts,
即不是“美国最高法院驳回了三个当地美国部落的请求,以防止在没有部落许可的情况下对非印第安人移民开放部落土地.”,而是“美国高等法院拒绝三个部落的请求,这三个部落企图阻止没有部落同意的对非土著人的土地转让”
The correct idiom is so much X as Y
小姐姐的意思是not so much X as Y 哦
choice B is tricky, as it seems to exclude a possible explanation and thus strengthens the argument.
Actually it is not, the only information we have is that, nationwide people with university degree have higher income, and that M city has higher percentage of university graduates.
However, these pieces of information can't explain directly why M city has higher income per capita without additional evidence.
In contrast, D offers a more explicit answer.
CD上说
it is hoped 表客观,ETS prefer
hopefully 表主观,GMAT中一般为错误选项(白勇说的)
当what引导主语从句时,其所指的名词通常是单数,谓语动词一般是单数。但有时因谓语动词之后有复数名词,谓语动词也可以用复数。
E.G:
What is much more difficult to determine is A and B and C.
What are much more difficult to determine are A and B and C.
Wrong: What is much more difficult to determine are A and B and C.
当what引导宾语从句时,主句谓语动词的单复数由主句的表语/宾语决定。
E.G:What his father left him are a few English books.
为什么原句不能理解为"她用一个声明缓解了紧张情况"呢?
我也不是很理解,当时做题的时候就觉得with是可以的
(一) What/which/that
what引导从句形式的主语/宾语/表语/同位语,在句子里充当成分; that/which只能引导的定语从句,作修饰语而不是主句成分。What不充当修饰语,所以what不能引导定语从句中;that/which不能指代一件事,所以他们不能引导状语从句。
What/which/that从句的相似点是他们引导的都是一个句子,要求从句本身成分完整。
E.G:
What he said made me sad. what引导SVO的结构主语从句
The apple which he eat is mine. which引导SVO的定语从句。
mark一下,B选项如果把前面的“Airline executives generally believe that”拿掉,就是一个无关选项了。你到底降不降和题目没有关系,关键是要往竞争者怕了,不会再有人进来竞争了这个方向引。
而且文章其实讲得很清楚了However, this method of eliminating competition cannot be profitable in the long run. 说的是这种消除竞争者的策略无利可图,所以削弱肯定还是要从消除竞争者这个点出发。而E仅仅证明了消除竞争者中用到的降价策略有利可图,并不能证明消除竞争者策略有利可图,
错选了e
B之所以正确,是因为他是站在竞争者的角度思考,侧面体现出“不会有人再去竞争了”这个含义,推理的目标仍是证明是否profitable,和其他的东西都无关。
E错在一增一减,profitable这个事是说不定的,这个选项也许可以证明并不是unprofitable的,但不能证明是profitable的。
或者说文章reject的是定最高价的方式,而不是尽可能获利的这个goal
我选的E...选错了这道题,不得不说我觉得E错在reject这个情绪在文本中没有明确表示,不然感觉还挺好的...
至于B和C我个人认为,b错在他并不是一个consideration raised to support文章观点,因为1部分作为consideration,推理出来的观点一定是要定最高价,而不是定less最高价
ing表伴随或结果,那么时间上的逻辑必须是已发生或正在发生的事,而这个trend的动作是一个预期,就不能用doing修饰,必须用will的各种形式
主谓一致这种错误都被忽视了...
that 指代前面的 the amount of energy
failure是失败的结果,而failing是指本身做都没有做
had a reputation for being a haunted house is wordy and would be better phrased had the reputation of being haunted
Both 'had a reputation for being a haunted house' and 'had the reputation of being a haunted house' are right.
A 后面两个that是谁引导的宾从?无从得知,反正不是recount,recount that? 说不通
B 错误同A
C 错误同A
D recounted和said没有连词连接,错误
But one of them is wordy
I just did some research and found that 'had the reputaion of being haunted' would be better. 'had a reputation for being haunted' is fine. But 'had a reputation for being a hauted house' or 'had the reputation of being a haunted house' does sound a bit wordy. You're right.
for being a haunted house是reputation的定語,核心詞是house,而being haunted是reputation的定語,核心詞是haunted,顯然核心詞是haunted,因為猛鬼所以成名
A. in despite of 错误
B. in spite of 后面不能接一个句子
C. 错误一:要么flow out from ... into ... 要么 flow from ... to ...;错误二:如果前面用所有格Japan's farm household 那么后面 a total population 就不是指日本的总人口,容易引起歧义
E. there are still
