怎么就叫做being做修饰成分?作者: Chuckle 时间: 2013-10-7 15:15
PREP2008里面有道题未划线部分用了“despite being”:
Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh refused to carry even a pound of mail, despite being offered $1,000 to do so.作者: 阿萨德积极 时间: 2013-10-7 15:30
比如说分词做定语的时候,很多题目都会有的,举个例子,a book offered by Tom,offered修饰的是book,a book being offered by Tom,就不好。我记忆中OG PREP GWD中是没有选择being作修饰成分的。但是,要主语时态和语态,也就是要注意原句意思。我记得有一题插画的,那个人看着那些人正在插花,有正在的意思,那being就不是多余的成分,就不能根据being来排除选项。我做题就是了解选项作的成分,排除那些有的没的的选项,万一出现了其他都一样但是being一个有一个没有就比较原句意思。作者: 阿萨德积极 时间: 2013-10-7 18:30

Manhattan: being、having,虽然二者大多数情况是错的,但GMAT也通常会制造一些其他的语法错误,使得此类选项稍好一点。(being除了2种情况1,介词+being done;2,进行时被动语态 be being done)
这里despite是介词,+being called是对的作者: alpha0531 时间: 2016-2-15 23:43
E里的错误不是being,而是逻辑主语的错误,被called a sea的是the landlocked Caspian,而E中却是”the largest lake“ being called a sea,同理,后面的,+covering也错误的修饰了the largest lake,“covering " is intended to modify
"the landlocked Caspian"。 其次关于being的用法。确实是要看它是什么成分,for example可以参照OG13版的第100题,正确的句子是Being heavily commited to a course of action is likely to make an executive miss signs. 这里的being是主语的一部分,所以不能省略,这道题C选项中的though called a sea,called a sea是修饰语,所以being是修饰语的一部分,是没必要加的。作者: elusive 时间: 2016-2-18 11:20
假设没有D,E就对了,在这个题里面,因为D没有being,所以D由于E。
being不是完全错的,它不被选择是因为在大多数情况下有比他更好的句子。
也就是说being在大多数情况下是多余的。
