二、代词 ACT再GMAT中频繁使用代词,主要有两种错误形式 (1)用错误的代词替换名词; (2)代词指代不明 (一)用错误的代词指代名词 这种错误主要体现在用单数代词指代复数名次,or vice versa。比如: Jim obviously loves his two hounds, Rose and Shasta, but they do not walk the dogs as often as veterinarian recommends. 这句话中,划线部分的代词they,只能指代two hounds,但是根据上下文,我们发现只有Jim才能walks the dogs,所以不应该是they,而是he. (二)代词指代不明 这种错误主要体现在两种情况中: (1)指代不明 比如:According to Albert, Amy and Philip both wanted to take Ben shopping for hats, but he didn't know which one of them to choose. 这句话中有两个代词,所以也就产生了两个问题。he到底是指Albert还是Ben,them 是指Amy and Philip还是hats?正确答案应该是: According to Albert, Amy and Philip both wanted to take Ben shopping for hats, but Ben didn't know which one of the hats to choose. (2)代词没有指代物 比如:Although Wellington feared a French naval invasion, he was confident that the coastal defenses could handle anything they could throw at them. 这里的问题出现在they上,虽然乍读起来,they可能指代French Navy, 但文中没有任何French navy, frech ships, the French或其它复数名词。所以they也就没有任何只带对象。 |
