题目分析:略。
选项分析:
A选项:首先要明确的是,so...as to...与so...that...表达的意思一样,均为“太…以至于…”,一种因果关系。他们的区别在于,so...as to...用于主语和to后面的动作的发出者一致时,而so...that...中,主语与that之后的主语不需要一致。
那相比之下,A B两个选项间没有成分差异,只剩下 of 和 ‘s 的区别。此时,我们需要考虑,liquid作为一个无生命物体,需要用of。
B选项:正确。
C选项:enough需要置于water前面。因为,沙子是和“足够的水”饱和,所以才获得了液体的属性,而不仅仅是“和水饱和”,所以足以获得液体的属性。
D选项:enough不能和so as to 混着用。
E选项:表达“太…以至于…”中没有so much as to的用法。
1. so... as to... 和 so... that...
一般说起来如果so...that...可以选,坚决不选so... as to...,so that在gmat的优先级就是比so as to高,这OG里也反复强调了...
2.so as to/ so that / enough to A. so…as to 的结构表达了一种目的,而so…that 表达了consequence,语义上是有区别的,这里描述的是自然现象,用表目的的as to不是太合适——充满水以为了获得液体的特性 vs 充满水导致其获得了液体的特性,明显后者比较好;
3.so...as to...用于主语和to后面的动作的发出者一致时,而so...that...中,主语与that之后的主语不需要一致。
