题目分析:
本题难度较大,需要看清每个成分。
选项分析:
A选项:连词as身后是由并列连词and连接起来的合句,即, a broad area of high pressure will build和a broad area of high pressure will bring fair and dry weather for several days. 在逻辑上,能带来几天干燥的天气的应该是前文的两个天气现象,不应是a broad area of high pressure。
B选项:选项末尾的that bring fair and dry weather for several days是定语从句,其修饰对象为a broad area of high pressure,这造成的错误同选项(A)。
C选项:本选项具有语法错误,最后的并列连词and身前building不能做谓语动词,这造成了语法错误。
D选项:with a broad area of high pressure building是独立主格结构,其无法和身后的动宾短语bring fair and dry weather for several days形成并列关系。如果将并列连词and身后的动作理解为和主句will continue并列,则需在该独立主格身后也加上逗号,让独立主格变为插入语。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。值得注意的是,划线部分最后的非限定性定语从句which will bring fair and dry weather for several days在修饰其身前的两个事件的共同结果。正常来说,定语从句只能修饰一个名词,不能修饰句子,这个原则是没有问题的。但为什么本题又可以修饰句子了呢?答案很简单,这不是GMAT考试双重标准,而是这些语法内容并非考试的真正考点。有些考题,利用定语从句修饰名词,同位语可以修饰句子的原则来考查我们考生判断逻辑主语的能力,这个时候,定语从句自然只能修饰名词,不能修饰句子。例如:https://gmat.la/question/Prep2008E1-SC-206
但有些考题,比如本题,对于出题人来说,由于他的考纲里根本没有对这些语法细节的要求,所以他想当然的就会按照英语的使用习惯而把句子写成了which修饰身前整句。因此,对于这点,大家不必记为一个考点,只需要记住,看题目怎么考我,如果有选项是同位语和定语从句交替出现的,肯定要保证定语从句修饰一个名词。如果类似于本题,没有同位语的选项,那么which引导的非限定性定语从句,也可以修饰整个句子。

BTW,这个题目的大意是:在大面积高气压(这个东西会带来好几天晴朗干燥的天气)形成的同时,Gusty westerly winds将会继续把a seasonably coolair mass带进这个区域。【build表形成的意思】
D选项中building and bring不并列,错误
E选项中which理论上语法角度来讲只能修饰就近名词,这里不太严谨,但要优于其他选项
官方的意思是,E选项的which可以理解为将前面的一句作为先行词,但是建议更好的理解是which以‘a broad area of high pressure’为先行词,因为从句which后面引导的句子太长,他前面a broad area……的谓语就一个单词’builds’,为了不让动词builds离主语太远造成理解不顺,所以,将which引导的从句放到了谓语动词builds后面。对于这种表示“出现、就位、形成”的动词,在不会造成歧义的情况下,可以放在被修饰的名词与定语从句之间,以避免动词在长修饰成分之后出现,造成动词距离主语过远的理解障碍。而B选项为什么错呢,因为前面a broad area of high pressure是单数与后面bring不一致

I usher X in.
If I want to specify the region in which this X is introduced, I would say:
I usher X into A.
The "in . . . into" is redundant and wrong: choice (A) & (B) have this, and the "in . . . to" in (C) is far from ideal. Choices (D) & (E) get the idiom completely correct.
This is not a strict rule, but "continue" +[infinitive] sounds formal and sophisticated, whereas "continue" +[gerund] sounds casual and colloquial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Choice (E) is the tricky one. A comma-which modifier refers to a noun and that noun has to be close enough to the modifier that the relationship is clear. In this case, a broad area (of high pressure) is that noun, and it is in fact only one word away from the modifier—but, unusually, a verb (builds) comes in between. A lot of people will cross this answer off because, typically, a verb does not intervene between a noun and a noun modifier.
This particular clause (while a broad area of high pressure builds) is itself a modifier of the main sentence that appears before it. In this case, the author must choose between these two constructions:
… while a broad area of high pressure builds, which will bring fair and dry weather for several days.
… while a broad area of high pressure, which will bring fair and dry weather for several days, builds.
Given the length of the noun modifier—and the shortness of the verb—an author might choose to place that verb first. Think of this as an extension of the convention that a noun followed by two noun modifiers will place the essential modifier first:
The box of nails, which is sitting on the table, …
It’s still clear that the second modifier refers to box, as in choice (E) it’s clear that the which modifier refers to the broad area of high pressure.
这道题是which是修饰最前面的winds,不规范的地方是离得太远了
这句话的语义是说:当大范围的高压形成后, 这个风还会继续带一些cool air进入这个地区,而且会带来几天的dry weather
Gusty westerly winds 【will continue】 to usher in a seasonably cool air mass into the region, as a broad area of high pressure 【will build and bring】 fair and dry weather for several days.没有用主将从现❌
B
【Gusty westerly winds will continue ushering in a seasonably cool air mass into the region】 and 【a broad area of high pressure will build that bring fair and dry weather for several days】❌
Gusty winds 先把冷空气团带进了地区,形成了冷高压,是这个冷高压导致了几天晴朗(fair)干燥的天气
C
Gusty westerly winds will continue to usher in a seasonably cool air mass to the region, a broad area of high pressure building, and bring fair and dry weather for several days. a broad area of high pressure building作为插入语❌
D
Gusty westerly winds will continue ushering a seasonably cool air mass in the region, 【with a broad area of high pressure building】 and 【bring fair and dry weather for several days】and前后明显不平行❌
E
Gusty westerly winds will continue to usher a seasonably cool air mass into the region while a broad area of high pressure builds, which will bring fair and dry weather for several days. which修饰"a broad area of high pressure"✔
1.will表示continue后面应该是to do,排除BD
2.usher in… int/to赘余 排除ABC
3.continue to和for several days意思相近,不应该放在一个句子里 排除C
4.C翻译:winds会为某region(一个有高压的宽阔area)带来冷气团,并且winds会带来持续的晴朗干燥。但实际带来干燥的是winds带来的高压。
错误-用area同位语指代region?winds为谁带来fair&dry weather?
5.E:wind会为某region带来冷气团,同时builds一个高压area,这会为这个area带来持续的晴朗干燥地区。
在我看来考点是这俩,但是蛮多人说as 和while不是考察重点........
这句话乍一看很难理解到底谁修饰了谁。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。值得注意的是,划线部分最后的非限定性定语从句which will bring fair and dry weather for several days在修饰其身前的两个事件的共同结果。
2.winds usher(引导) cool air mass into the region,而不是winds usher in cool air mass into the region
build的是天气现象,不是high pressure
Takeaway:
本题的正确答案E,在SC中非常少见的出现了倒装。把area的动词builds提前到area的定从前面。所以本题以划线部分后半部分的splits来判断是很容易排除正确答案的。 本题应该选择更容易的句子开头更简单的splits开始解题。
