错因:derive的主语判断错,没有仔细还原句子
从from which里推导出句子的结构是:both the northern and the southern Indian alphabets derive from the Aramaic script
along,介词,沿着,如:walked along the road;副词,向前,如:get along with sb,drove along驱车前行,come along一起来。
along with=with,
a whole new class of dominant large mammals,of表同位关系,大型哺乳动物的统治阶层;如果是the domination of large mammals,则of表动作的对象,对大型哺乳动物的统治
【比较题】
注意:ongoing在这里做adj,表示继续的,正在进行的
考点是比较中的前后平行,前面是“ongoing trade imbalance”,后面能和它平行的只有a中”trade deficit“
和前面的两组“副词 + 形容词”的结构并列
错选E
E选项中“the last day that they are scheduled to collect”,that指代day,句子变成了collect the day,是错误指代
D中the last scheduled day避免了E中的“that”限制性修饰,说明了就是计划的最后一天,但不确定是具体哪一天
aim at doing,因为aim本身就含有目的的意思,aim to do就显得累赘。同理the goal of doing 而不是the goal to do
因为法律规定,所以他们发现……,逻辑不够好;应该是他们发现:因为法律规定,所以他们不能……
不过B with引导独立主格,“伴随着法律规定……,他们发现”,表达的逻辑关系与“因为法律规定,所以他们发现……”是一样的,并不会因为没有因果逻辑连词bacause等就有改变。
注意argument后面接同从,ruled后面接宾从
语义重要
A:it指代hunter-gatherers,单复数不一致
B: both…but also错误
C:also encouraging和stigmatized不平行
D:and前要加逗号;it指代错误
To read ... is to feel ...
read of 为固定搭配
READ THE SENTENCE LITERALLY.
Choice c only gives a condition followed by IF, but no more information is provided to show whether the IF conditions would be the real case, i.e. the regulation is fully enforced, so it is of little help to the argument
E,a law passed in 1933, making sth a crime ,这里making更有可能会指向1993而不是law,定语的跳跃修饰似乎不能跳过谓语动词,如:
W:A law was passed in 1993, which make sth a crime, 这里which不能跳过passed做定语修饰law
R:A law in 1993 making sth a crime was passed,making可以跳过介宾修饰law。
从句和to do的区别:to do代表状态的转换,相对于从句的谓语动词,to do表示动作尚未发生,如:
She has lots of homework to do tonight.(作业还没做)
Have you got something to eat?(这些东西还没被吃掉)
A,The law makes that a United States citizen hold gold a crime
D, The law makes to hold gold for a United States citizen a crime,for sb引入to do的发起者
携带黄金既然已经是违法行为,可以预见人们并不会去做这件事情,所以用to do比用一般现在时的从句好。
A. nor 用于否定句之后引出另一个否定句需要用倒装语序,即nor were they even very curious,此外be preoccupied with和be curious about 为固定搭配。
C. be preoccupied with, be curious about,因此应改为neither preoccupied with, nor even very curious about, the reasons that led to their parents divorce
D. neither ... nor ...,而且them指代不明,reasons or parents' divorces?
E. it 错误
as well 通常放在一个句子末尾,A、B排除,such ... as 为固定搭配,故C、D排除。
比较对象要相同,earthquake和eruption
B. 根据逻辑应该是try to recover而不是try和recover两个并列。
C. Trying to recover uranium out of seawater主语过长,应该用形式主语it代替更好,而且recover A from B 为固定搭配。
D. To try for错误,其他错误同B。
E. 不是Recovering uranium from seawater 是值得试图去做的,而是 Trying to recover uranium out of seawater是值得做的
其实我觉得这道题不是细节题,是逻辑推理题,early chartered trading companies未从可知究竟是19世纪还是16,17世纪(第一道题的答案就有early chartered trading companies,但很明显不是16,17世纪),而题目问的是are usually described as,而最后一句话有说early trading companies organized effectively in remarkably modern ways and merit further study as analogues of more modern structures.就说明以前在讨论modern cooperation 时没有考虑early trading companies 也就是early chartered trading companies
seem, appear, look是表象系动词,可以直接作be动词使用,表示是,如:
She didn't appear surprised at the news at all.
此外还有固定搭配:appear to be/to have been,it appears that,如:
She appeared to be in her late thirties. 看样子她快四十岁了。
It appears that there has been a mistake. 看来有一个差错。
what是个名词,可以替换成the thing,what appears to be ……,看上去是……的东西
复杂句子里尽量平行/对称所带来的美感和逻辑的清晰性。
