考题讲解

题目分析:
由于过去分词和过去时长的很像,请千万不要把本题中(B)(C)两个选项中的过去分词published误认为是谓语动词。判断方式非常简单,只要是在逻辑上和主语是被动关系,但在身前却没有be动词的,都是过去分词而不是谓语动词的过去时。

选项分析:

A选项:本选项具有语法错误:both...and…是固定搭配,不能用both…as well as…;另外,请注意,连词in that(in that和because意思相近,都是因为的意思)是没有错误的,在GMAT的官方考题的正确选项中出现过,因此万万不可因为不熟悉in that而排除本选项。 

B选项:本选项中published是过去分词,bringing是现在分词,这导致了主句没有谓语动词,可以直接排除。

C选项:Correct. 本选项在逻辑上和语法上均是正确的。

D选项:
and后的which是一个定语从句,由于在and前没有出现定语从句,所以which没有平行的对象。关于and的平行问题,参考“功能平行”。

E选项:
both…and…固定搭配错误同(A);本选项中现在分词短语winning both the National Book Award是was published的伴随状语,依图形背景原则可知,若本选项正确,则“赢得奖项”和“带来最广泛的称赞”的持续时间必然长于“出版于1982”这个事件。在逻辑上,“赢得奖项”和“带来最广泛的称赞”实际上是一个瞬间完成的事件(例如赢得奖项吧,在瞬间赢得奖项后,会获得“持有奖项”这个状态,即,持有奖项会持续很长时间,但是赢得奖项只有一瞬间。),而“被出版于1982年”则是一个持续到无穷远的状态(在1982年书出版后,它就会一直具有“出版于1982年”这个状态)。因此,publish这个动作应该用做从句,bring这个动作应该用做主句。
