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。

同意
同意,which应该修饰a broad area of high pressure吧
同意,还是不完全认可E的解释,比较认可你的。但是做了那么多题,感觉硬约束:主谓一致,平行,避免RUN-ON句型,between...and..等习语。其他的包括所有格形式,时态,指代确实不是硬约束。
所以这个题中,我觉得AB选项通过后半部分主谓不一致,CD选项and前后不平行,然后得出结论。所以以后做题,从总体上把握,除了固定搭配以外,切忌从某个点入手,如指代,不含有SINCE等指示词的动词时态。思路不对的地方,还望各位大神指正。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
这个句子选对了,但是也耗费了好久的时间,考试的时候肯定不能这样。
Notes: 1. usher...into...--idiom
2. continue to is better than continue doing
3. which 跳跃修饰前面的主语名词:a broad area of high pressure.
所以最后选E
A的错误应该是,as引导后面这句话,逻辑不对,因为usher in..cool air和高气压区域的形成不是因果的关系,而是同时, E里面的while正确表达了这两个事件的逻辑和时间关系。这题有点绕,错了轻拍。。。
as是由while的意思的登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
In addition, the sentence intends to convey that while A happens, B will happen. Hence, use of the verb will build is not correct as these verbs do not convey the sequence of the events clearly.
IDIOM:I usher X into A.
对的,地理上也说了
那就没办法排除 A 了吧 T T登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
不,是前面的两种天气现象才会导致有干旱的天气。GMAT考试从来都不考查语法啊,自然也不会有这种无聊的规则哈~
那是不是以后不能一上来查which修饰 然后直接排除了?
不好。这不是GMAT的考点哈~登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
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.
Choice (D) also makes a mistake with "with" + [noun] + [participle]. That's very subtle.
