题目分析:
略
选项分析:
A选项:Correct. 本选项在逻辑和语法上均是正确的。
B选项:本选项中,computers主动发出handle standard business transactions这个动作。在逻辑上,只能是人们“通过电脑”来处理商业交易,而不能电脑自己处理商业交易(咳咳,人工智能没准可以,但是在本题的语境下肯定不考虑这种因素)。另外,where做定语从句的引导词时,其先行词只能是地点,而本题中先行词critical tasks显然不是地点,所以应改为in which。
C选项:本选项错误同(B)。
D选项:where应用于修饰地点,此处不正确。
E选项:in place of不是连词,并且也没有转折的含义。
Where要指代真真意义上的地点才可以,如:美国中国,你家我家
B选项中 rather than on paper,than后面有On paper这个介词短语,而前面却没有,不平行
C选项中 instead of 本身就是介词,介词后面不能再加介词on这是语法错误,应该接名词
D where
E in place of本身就是介词,介词后面不能再加介词on这是语法错误 应该接名词
考虑是主动还是被动的时候一定首先要关注这个句子主动动作可不可以被主语发出!
where相当于in which,但是where必须是修饰地点,in which不一定
in place of 接介词短语的问题
BCD选项 computers主动发出handle standard business transactions这个动作;
where做定语从句的引导词时,其先行词只能是地点,而本题中先行词critical tasks显然不是地点,所以应改为in which。
E in place of不是连词,并且也没有转折的含义。
which跳过such as列举
在gmat语法中,where指代地方,when指代时间,
in place of 后面跟ving或着noun
rather than平行标志
computer不能主动发出动作
which指代tasks,在诸如存货管理、线上资金转账、电子数据交换等任务方面,商业交易通过电脑处理。
where修饰地点,要是具体名词
in place of是连词,且没有转折意思
考察:
前:抽象用in which不用where
后:rather than,对比的对等,c中不对等,Rather than可以并列很多成分,介词短语等,instead of只能加名词在后,一般gmat prefer rather than
being handled冗余
那E中如果把in place of前面的逗号删掉,E是不是就对了
where做定语从句的引导词时,其先行词只能是地点,而本题中先行词critical tasks显然不是地点,
where 修辞具体地点
where/in which
where 只能修饰实体的地点,如area, site, country, USA;对于metaphorical place时,如condition, situation, case, circumstances, arrangement, 用 in which,不用where;修饰在某物,如book等,用in which,不用where
rather than/instead of可以接名词/形容词/副词/动词/to do/介宾短语/状语/句子,in place of通常接句子,表示某物取代某物
rather than是连词,instead of也可以做连词用法,instead是副词,修饰动词或修饰句子,如:It will take days by car, so let’s fly instead
would rather/than表示宁愿/而不愿,如:She'd rather die than lose the children. 她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们。
in place of不是连词,并且也没有转折的含义。

在最后CE比较中,能用一般时态不碍事的,就不用现代进行时
A选项:'via computer' rather than' on paper'
B选项:where is not idiomatic--in which;电脑主动发出这个动作-?
C选项:同B
D选项:where is not idiomatic--in which;
E选项:in place of on paper--wordy
D. But做介词使用时身后+名词,此时身后不可以加instead(adv),意思累赘。
但是如果But 做连词身后+动词,此时身后是可以加instead(adv)的!
