题目分析:
像蚂蚁一样,白蚁有一个完整的社会结构,在这个社会结构里一些个体繁殖,剩余的个体通过照顾幼崽、收集食物、筑巢和对抗入侵者来服务这个种群。
首先要搞清谁和谁对比:ants 和 termite; 其次,未划线部分“the rest serve the colony...”是个完整的句子,那么它要和前面一个完整的句子并列,且符合逻辑。
选项分析:
A选项:“the rest serve the colony”错误地和“the social structure includes individuals”平行,但应该是the rest serve和few individuals reproduce 平行:在这个社会结构中,一些个体做什么,另一些个体做什么
B选项:“the rest serve the colony”错误地和“termites have social structure”平行
C选项:“the rest serve the colony”错误地和“social structure is elaborate”平行
D选项:正确
E选项:“the rest serve the colony”错误地和“social structure is elaborate”平行
这讲的什么鬼。。 还不如不讲
On the GMAT exam, the use of "like" vs. "as" has to do with what two things are being compared. We use "like" to compare two nouns, and "as" to compare two actions or phrases with verbs attached to them.
LIKE = noun + noun (The yellow car, like the red car, comes with a sunroof.)
AS = verb phrase + verb phrase (My aunt bakes soft oatmeal cookies, as her mother did when she was a child.)
1.先看原句,the rest和前面一个主语平行,主语只能是一部分。
A. As with错,reproducing和serve不平行
B. which 后与and后逻辑和语法均不平行;which includes to do逻辑错
C. As with错,后半不平行
D.对
E . the rest 只能和 individuals平行,多谓语造成run-on sentence.整句意思重心不对
其中一个考点应该是 like 与 as的用法,选项A不能将 ANT 与 structure相比较
首先,对于语法结构,看得懂就不要算错。将注意力放在句子语义和逻辑上
Split#1: 根据Initial Modifier,比较对象平行:去掉选项A、C
Split#2: 根据X and the rest serve 平行,去掉选项B、E
前后平行排除ABCE
注意后面的句子要和前面的一个句子平行,找好平行结构。
1. 平行,排A B C E
2. Like 后一定是名词,和主语比较,排D
3.As考点:前后谓语动词统一
B:which includes to do.. 逻辑不对
A as with 的对比对象不对,后面的不平行 B structure包括了 individuals 句意不对而且前后不平行 C错误相同 E对比对象不对 后面的不平行
c: 1. ant 错误地和 social structure 比较 (在这里termite 做形容词修饰social structure)2. the rest serve 和a few individuals for reproducing 不平行。3. including 用于举例子,但social structure 和 individual 不是举例子的关系。
D: in which .....and ......让 a few individuals reproduce 和the rest serve 平行了 。
and平行,a few individuals reproduce and the rest serve
Like ants, 对
b:“the rest serve the colony”错误地和“the social structure includes individuals”平行
