Q32:
A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.
Answer: a
Gwd5-Q14:
Even though more money was removed out of stock funds in July as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as an industry trade group had previously estimated.
answer:e
第一题是be as weak as some analysts previously thought
第二题是were not as low as what an industry trade group had previously estimated
只讨论以上,as adj as 后面为什么 有两种不同用法?
第二题选e,可能是主要觉得other不应少,要把自身July排除(具体可在参见置顶帖中的相关帖子,好像当时还有些争议)。个人认为如果是than in any other month since October , sales of fund shares in July were not as low as, 少what会更好些。
考试时就遇到这么类似一题对what多和少进行区别的,当时选的是有what的,感觉是错了。对此考点现在还不是很清楚,希望有NN看到此帖能来指点一二。
目前为止,偶的认识还是:what在第一题中是被省略了;而在第二题中保留了。
Just for your reference.
Actually, it is better to dispense with "what" in this structure. But I don't think it is wrong when "what" is not omited.
Therefore, due to the fact that the "other" is indispensible, choice E of Gwd5-Q14 should be correct.
More often than not, "what" seems more acceptable than when it is omitted to a tyro of GMAT. I guess that in some other subjects ETS is likely to insert a mistake in the choice with "what" whereas the choice without "what" is the correct one. But this is not the case for Gwd5-Q14 . So probably the D without "what" is a trap for a veteran of GMAT .
呵呵,NN们都发表过意见了,偶就搬个凳子捧捧场吧.
谢谢大家了!!!
我支持LES,按照LZM和BY的说法,what应该是有的,但遇到什么thought呀,estimated就可以省去作为习惯用法而不用考虑时态。个人意见:)
对了,还想问一下,as....as的结构如果是否定句,是不是可以not...so....as?在否定句中,so....as和as....as有没有哪个更优先?
强烈支持C!
是否是用被动语态不是考点, 而且这里即使用了被动语态, 施动者还是清晰的, 所以应该不是问题.
而且很关键的是C中as...as这个结构后面省略了相同的主语economy, 使得对比很明确. 对比Gwd5-Q14(这个答案应该是更确定的), 我们可以发现这个对比的主语是不可以省略的.
至于hades说的LZM上的省略, 我没有看过LZM, 不敢乱说, 希望大家可以查一查, 看看是否可以省略.
C的时态肯定错,这里只能用过去时态
另外前面大家说了,省略的是what,而不是economy
但是what=the thing that, 那这个thing又是什么? 应该就是Economy没错吧.
楼上怎么那么肯定C的时态就错了? 请教.
完成时表示动作thought在过去发生并持续时间(到现在)
不能说那些专家一直持续的想经济不好,过去时态表明他们过去认为经济不好,合情合理
the thing 指the economy might be weak
C.the economy might not be as weak as have been
C最根本的错误应该是have been吧?economy是单数,这里应该用has been吧?
对了,还想问一下,as....as的结构如果是否定句,是不是可以not...so....as?在否定句中,so....as和as....as有没有哪个更优先?
俺就是因为顾及这一点才选了B,求求给个说法吧?
已经不问语法好多年,都没第六感觉了
求助众兄弟姐妹.........

ding, i have the same question too~
同意LUciali的说法
c 是由于have been 的原因才不如A
C should be "has been"
agree with floor 9.
active tense is always better than passive tense, so if you are confusing between a and c, you can use this rule to choose.
