标题: 学沫求大神解释一道CD GMAT备考指导书中的语法题 [打印本页] 作者: 昭子木 时间: 2014-12-22 22:38 标题: 学沫求大神解释一道CD GMAT备考指导书中的语法题 To actually study the wreck and the lives of the people on Titanic, a team of archaeologists, who are funded by the British government, are requiring a detailed site map that shows navigation route of the ship.
(A) are requiring a detailed site map that shows
(B) require a detailed site map that shows
(C) requires a detailed site map that shows
(D) have a requirement of a detailed site map showing
(E) has a requirement of a detailed site map showing
本题正确答案是C,解释说因为主句主语“a team of archaeologists”是单数,所以其谓语动词也需要用单数。
那么问题来了,为什么前面“who are funded by the British government”中用的是复数形式呢?“who”是指代archaeologists所以用are?如果将“who”换成which是不是就可以用单数形式is了呢?下次我要是再碰上这种题该如何判断单复数形式?
本人刚刚开始学习GMAT语法,如今这么弱智的问题还希望各位大神能帮助解答一下~非常感谢! 作者: yatina 时间: 2014-12-23 11:19
Hi, 昭子木.
楼主刚开始,不用急,看多了长难句自然一眼变可分辨出。从现在练习抓住句子的主干!
1. To actually study the wreck and the lives of the people on Titanic
插入语to...表目的;
2. a team of archaeologists
主语,注意A of B结构的中心词是A,也就是这里的team,所以主语是单数,谓语动词必然也是单数;
3. who are funded by the British government
定语从句修饰archaeologists,所以用复数形式are;况且who也不能用来修饰team;楼主千万不要试图修改未划线部分或质疑正确选项,只要GMAC这么写,在GMAT世界里就一定对;
4. are requiring a detailed site map that shows navigation route of the ship
谓语动词用单数,所以排除ABD;
5. 剩余CE选项,GMAC最喜欢用动词直抒胸臆,况且E中的时态也不对,所以选择C。作者: 昭子木 时间: 2014-12-24 11:21
