题目分析:
本题虽然不长,但选项C和选项D的判断较难。
选项分析:
A选项:unlike连接的两个名词需要在逻辑上平行,即,应该是using XXX和using XXX做比较。
B选项:本选项unlike连接的两者不可比,错误同(A)。
C选项:Unlike是介词,对比对象是主句的主语。在对比对象这个环节上,本选项没有错误。但是,unlike只是表示两个名词具有对比关系,例如:
Unlike A, B is round.
从例句中,我们只能知道A不是圆的,但是A是什么形状,我们并不能明确得知。若例句为:
A is square, whereas B is round
则其揭示了两个句子的关系。
用之于本题,显然地,要想形成对比关系,应该描述清楚cooking with spices的用量。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:本选项可能有些难以判断。实际上,仅仅考查了一个很基础的“实质平行”。Whereas是连词,表示前后两句话有对比关系。真正具有对比关系的,应该是small quantities of spices are used(这里的重心词是use这个事件)和take,而不是本选项中的 the usage of spices is in small quantities(这里的be动词这个状态)和take。但在逻辑上,真正能对比的对象应该是use和take。
choice e literally says that the usage of spices is 'in small quantities', which is not the proper message. this could mean that you don't use spices very often, but, when you do, you dump 14 kilos of allspice and 12 kilos of paprika in your pan.
C:
the usage is incorrect -- in fact, i don't think you can say "verbING is done..." for any verb.
the other problem with that answer choice is that "large quantities" doesn't seem to apply to the spices themselves, because the spices are no longer the subject of that construction.
In cooking, (small quantities of spices) are used, whereas( in medicinal usage spices) are taken 形式不同,但还是平行的
In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage they are taken
E选项有个明显的错误
前一句主语是usage of spices, 后一句的they 指代的是spices, 按比较对象平行的准则的话,改成这样应该就没问题了?
In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage *it is* in large quantities.
D use // take 两个谓语动词表示的是动作发生,即两个动作事件
E is 为svc句型,in small quantities补充说明的是usage的状态。状态与事件不能平行。
..the usage of spices is in small quantities(这里的重心词是be动词这个状态)和take这个事件。..
这个解释真好
解释赞,这种从逻辑语义上分析题目,是我欠缺的
C句语法上没错,但是不能说明cooking with spices的用量是多少,不符合题意。
E比较对象不对,the usage IS in... 和 they are TAKEN
但是感觉they用法也不太对吧?感觉they是绝对指代,就是指代前面的同一份spices,不符合题意
老师我想请问下B:unlike后面是cooking用的spices,而主句的主语是they,指代的是medical用的spices,为什么两者会不可比呢?
要想形成对比关系,应该描述清楚cooking with spices的用量
老师,E选项可以解释为they指代歧义吗?
不能~在GMAT考试中,很少有选项是因为代词的指代歧义而错的。代词的指代原则是:指代句中在逻辑上合理的名词。
所以老师,whereas 前后要平行对吗?
还有老师,unlike 后面可以接动名词嘛?为什么有资料说unlike只能接名词。
