Stock levels for domestic crude oil are far lower than in past years, leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies being disrupted in the Middle East or to any unexpected consumer demand growth possibly prompted by colder-than-normal temperatures.
leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies being disrupted in the Middle East or to any unexpected consumer demand growth possibly
leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of oil supply disruptions in the Middle East or any unexpected growth in consumer demand that might be
leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies that are disrupted in the Middle East or to any unexpected growth in consumer demand as was possibly
resulting in the fact that domestic oil prices are vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies being disrupted in the Middle East or to any unexpected consumer demand growth possibly
resulting in the fact of domestic oil prices that are vulnerable to any hints of oil supply disruptions in the Middle East or to any unexpected growth in consumer demand that might be
1、SVO,doing已经有表示结果的意思了,resulting in显得冗杂。
2、A项中being在gmat考试中必错
3、C项中的时态问题需要注意
4、B项正确答案,平行没问题,平行可能有多种组合。
【核心词&语义】
A hints of oil supplies being disrupted
B、hints of oil supply disruptions
考点在于核心词:到底是vulnerable to oil supply 还是oil supply disruption,显然是后者
平行结构 :hints of【 oil supply disruptions…or any unexpected growth】, supply disruption 和 unexpected growth 的迹象,核心词不是supplies!
AB差异:
本体主要看意思,因为库存低导致石油价格相对于中东供应中断的hints, vulnerable; 而非库存低导致了一个事实 - 石油价格相对于中东供应中断的hints, vulnerable。所以DE不对。
ABC,更冷的天气应该是promote demand, 应该是催进需求,而不是促进需求增长,所以A不对
C:中使用was, 主要问题是使用过去时动词('was')来描述可能在未来发生的事情
所以选B
as的问题,RON 说没错,”in that part of choice C, the main problem is the use of a past-tense verb ('was') to describe something that might hypothetically happen in the future!“
关注核心词,到底是hints of supply还是disruption,显然是后者
Ron:
DE:that wording is awkward in its indirectness.
the sentence is supposed to say that this situation has (directly) left oil prices vulnerable to blah blah blah. however, the wording of (d) and (e) weirdly suggests that it has led to the existence of a fact, rather than to actually vulnerable oil prices.
C:in that part of choice C, the main problem is the use of a past-tense verb ('was') to describe something that might hypothetically happen in the future!
"Being" can be used correctly, but it almost never is on the GMAT.
'MIGHT BE"和“Possibly”可互换
平行结构 :hints of【 oil supply disruptions…or any unexpected growth】
resulting in the fact 就很奇怪,不知道为什么当时做题时会选
A: prompted by colder-than-normal temperatures 修饰growth; hints of supplies
B:that might be prompted by colder-than-normal temperatures. 修饰 consumer demand。 hints of disruptions
冷天气引起的consumer demand的上升而不是growth , hints of disruptions 才使得prices vulnerable
这里的hints 的定语核心词是oil supplies
or明示考平行。一个选项一个选项看,不要扫过导致回头。
对时态还是不够敏感
preposition + noun + ving must be wrong
定语就近修饰:prompt,激起,导致,促进;被更冷的天气激起的消费需求;核心词:hints of disruptions,而不是hints of oil supply;语意:石油存量更少,使得油价更易受到影响,而不是石油存量更少,引起了油价更易受到影响的事实。油价更易受到影响是一种预测的可能性,而不是事实。
as的问题,RON 说没错,”in that part of choice C, the main problem is the use of a past-tense verb ('was') to describe something that might hypothetically happen in the future!“
考点在于核心词:到底是vulnerable to oil supply 还是oil supply disruption
disrupt中断
标记 ABC 结果状语比DE直接 E fact是一件事情 从句that更优
其次注意核心词变化 ACD 石油供应的迹象 CE 石油供应中断这个迹象 明显vulerable的是中断这个迹象 不是石油供应本身。
所以B 选项最优
hints of oil supplies being disrupted 意思为迹象被中断
hints of oil supply disruptions意思为被中断的迹象。
