Q18:


Unlike most other mergers in the utility industry, which have been driven by the need to save money and extend companies’ service areas, the merger of the nation’s leading gas and electric company is intended to create a huge marketing network for the utilities in question with states opening their utility markets to competition.




  • and  electric company is intended to create a huge marketing network for the utilities in question with states opening

  • and electric companies are intended to create a huge network for marketing the utilities in question as states open

  • and electric companies are intended to create a huge network that will be marketing the utilities in question, with states opening

  • company and electric company are intending to create a huge marketing network for the utilities in question, with states opening

  • company and leading electric company is intended to create a huge network for marketing the utilities in question as states open

  • creat sth for doing sth 这是对的吗,marketing 这里不会是名词吧,a 有什么不对。


    with 后面 可以加doing 形式吗?谢谢

    我选E,因为a的话,一个公司leading gas and electric company 怎么MERGER?另外,with ...opening,还是没有另起一句做状语好的吧

    从后面的in question .....的句意来看确实选e是正确的

    同意E
    作者: youpiao    时间: 2004-11-23 13:28

    我觉得A对,我第一次也选了E,现在觉得A的句意更合理。

    A       create a marketing network ....with states .....        “和那些开放了utility 市场的州建立(创立)一个巨大的营销网”

    opening their utility markets to competition 是修饰states的

    而E的, as states open their utility markets to competition   “ 当各州开放市场时”

    感觉与前面的句意连不上,时态上也很不顺。“ 当各州开放市场时”,前面的主句应该用将来时,而is intended to create 是一般现在时。

    至于the nation's leading gas and electric company 的问题,能不能理解为gas \ electric 共用 company ,即gas (company) and electric company

    我总觉得E中的leading gas company and leading electric company 有罗嗦之嫌,第二个leading 多余。

    这是我第5遍读完OG解释后的感觉,我觉得GMAT语法,句意的合理,逻辑意思的合理,远大于细微末节的别扭。

    我觉得GMAT语法,句意的合理,逻辑意思的合理,远大于细微末节的别扭。

    By all means, I agree with you.

    A. the leading gas and electric company 指的是同一家公司,company 是单数么,

        而一家公司怎么能merge 呢?  E 就没有这个问题。

    谢谢你的这个总结,不曾想到ETS把这个也作为一个考点了呢.

    support E because of merger!


    作者: Ivy2004    时间: 2005-1-10 22:49

    比较A:a huge marketing network 和E:a huge network for marketing 。marketing的词性不同,后者是动词。

    OG倾向,表示目的用to比用for好。 再看as states open,open是瞬间动作,用when比as好,as有持续的意思(也在og解释里。

    agree A

    居然没想到考merge...多谢各位


    作者: tonyadidas    时间: 2005-5-4 21:05

    搂主,marketing这里肯定是作动词+ing讲,因为og多次提到作动名词(不提倡用动名词)一定要在doing前加冠词the/a/an,例子(踢好不记得了):a lowering of n1 and of the fear...且marketing作名词是市场学的意思吧。

    至于with+doing可能这个例子比较anecdotal:credit sb with having done sth。不过我个人是很讨厌with这个词的,因为SVO with 有歧异,是S发出V动作with,还是O with呢?

    再至于本题,merger很说明问题。但不用to do用for doing实在看不下去,不知有没有牛儿有emphitical evidence支持create sth for doing的Set Phrase。As倒是没什么,主语是states,open不一定同时,可以持续一段时间嘛,又不是同时open,我倒觉得as这里用得很好呢。选E真的是侏儒里面挑美眉啊……

    up!同问!表目的用for doing 不是语法中的大忌吗?
    作者: Xandria    时间: 2005-5-31 13:13

    在逻辑意思的指引下面, 看来A是大势已去.


    不过有点不甘心, A中的with引导的独立主格结构是否有问题? 或者说是否有其它的错误才排除它? E里面的for doing看起实在不爽了!!!

    粗粗找了一下OG前90题for doing 的用法,在正式划线部分没有,但在解释中及未划线部分却有,供大家参考


    51. While Jackie Robinson was a Brooklyn Dodger, his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.



    (A)not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused



    (B) not unlike Rosa Parks, who refused



    (C) like Rosa Parks and her refusal



    (D) like that of Rosa Parks for refusing


    (E) as that of Rosa Parks, who refused



    Choices B and C present faulty comparisons: in B, Jackie Robinson's courage is compared to Rosa Parks herself, not to her courage, and in C it is compared to both Rosa Parks and her refusal. Choice D does not make clear whether it was Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks who showed courage in refusing to move to the back of the bus(逻辑意思表达的准确性,介词短语做状语到底修饰谁?); in fact, saying for refusing (解释里并没说不对)rather than who refused makes it sound as if courage moved to the back of the bus (for 短语做主语应该优先修饰句子主语). Choice E incorrectly uses as rather than like to compare two noun phrases. Choice A is best.



    73. The British Admiralty and the War Office met in March 1892 to consider a possible Russian attempt to seize Constantinople and how they would have to act militarily to deal with them.



    (A) how they would have to act militarily to deal with them



    (B)  how to deal with them if military action would be necessary



    (C) what would be necessary militarily for dealing with such an event



    (D) what military action would be necessary in order to deal with such an event



    (E)  the necessity of what kind of military action in order to take for dealing with it





    In choices A and B, the pronoun them has no antecedent; furthermore, the if clause in B must take should rather than would (虚拟语气). In C, necessary militarily is awkward and vague (不如D表达的清晰:“什么军事行动是必要的”比“什么是军事上的必要”加入action更清楚). E is wordy and garbles(混淆) the meaning with incorrect word order.(词的顺序会影响句意) Choice D is best: its phrasing is clear, grammatical, and idiomatic. Moreover, D is the choice that most closely parallels the construction of the nonunderlined portion of the sentence.与未划线部分平行成为正确答案的标志之一 The sentence states that the Admiralty and the War Office met to consider x and y, where x is the noun phrase a possible Russian attempt. D provides a noun phrase, military action, what从句起名词作用)that matches the structure of x more closely than do the corresponding noun elements in the other choices.







    75. If the proposed expenditures for gathering information abroad are reduced even further, international news reports have been and will continue to diminish in number and quality.



    (A)have been and will continue to diminish



    (B) have and will continue to diminish



    (C) will continue to diminish, as they already did,



    (D) will continue to diminish, as they have already,



    (E) will continue to diminish






    76. Gall's hypothesis of there being different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today.



    (A)of there being different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today



    (B) of different mental functions that are localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today



    (C) that different mental functions are localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today



    (D) which is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today



    (E) which is widely accepted today is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain



    Choices A and B are faulty because a relative clause beginning with that is needed to state Gall's hypothesis. The phrase of there being, as used in A, is wordy and unidiomatic; in B, of different mental functions does not convey Gall's point about those functions. Choices D and E are awkward and wordy, and both use which where that would be the preferred pronoun for introducing a clause that states Gall's point.(同位语从句用that不用别的引导) Further, the phrasing of E misleadingly suggests that a distinction is being made between this hypothesis and others by Gall that are not widely accepted today. Choice C is best.

    with +名词+现在分词或过去分词是独立主格结构,修饰的是主句。


    sth. be intended to do sth. 已经有了to do 结构了,虽然create to do 常用,但是并不能说create for doing这种用法就不对吧。关键是要看逻辑意思吧。

    for doing是可以的


    from longman:


    used to say what the purpose of an object, action etc is
    for doing something
    a knife for cutting bread

    请教,这里A,E中的in question什么意思,表示正在讨论中的utilities(是共用事业的意思?)


    作者: MBAnMIS2008    时间: 2007-7-2 22:54

    觉得这里的for marketing是修饰network的, a network for marketing the utilities...而不是do sth for doing的错误。

    一家之言。。。

    我来试试,请批评指教!

    in question 正被讨论,在考虑中,被怀疑

    E. 在公用事业领域内,大多数企业合并的目的是节省开支和拓展地盘,而某国最大的煤气公司和最大的电力公司正在考虑之中的合并的目的是:在各州开放各自的公用事业市场迎接竞争时,创建一个巨大的公用事业营销网络。
