A,公司在过去宣布,因为1/4的店面业绩不好,他们will被关门。 因为都要被关闭了,业绩不好就不是惯常的行为,是过去的行为,用一般现在时不妥;商店要被关掉也是基于announced的未来,用过去将来时would
B,GMAC不用be doing表示将来时,所以be doing表示现在进行时。公司过去宣布他们现在正在关店,应该是announced时点正在关店,用过去进行时;accounted for,过去占据,ok
in C, there is a real consideration for Veterinarians —— potentially direct competition from stores, and the other goods they are selling don't have this kind of problem. This option directly points to a plausible reason, while A gives an ambiguous argument
复杂句子里尽量平行/对称所带来的美感和逻辑的清晰性。
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
A. wings are shaped smoothly这一点很奇怪,机翼光滑的形状?明显不符合逻辑。按照逻辑,应该是光滑的机翼和其完美的形状使流经机翼的空气变得不turbulent。A错误。
B. smooth 和 perfectly shaped 都修饰wings,B正确。
C. smooth(可能为副词)和perfect应为副词
D. 错误同A。
E. 错误同A。
