Being的用法 通常来说being在GMAT里一般出现在错误选项里。 但是这个就是600和700分的差距了, Being在以下情况是正确的: 1.I am afraid of being rude. I am afraid that I’ll be rude. 因为表达方式的不同,句子的侧重点也不一样。 In addition to being one of the most talented tennis players ever to play the game, John McEnroe is also one of the most controversial athletes. 这里in addition to 需要一个和后面对应的主谓结构,所以用being作名词。 2.With+名词+being+ 名词补助语… There are many reasons to get back for further education, with increased career prospects being the most important for many people. Eg: Framed by traitorous colleagues, Alfred Dreyfus was imprisoned for twelve years before there was exoneration and his freedom. A. There was exoneration and his freedom B. He was to be exonerated with freedom C. Being exonerated and freed D. Exoneration and his freedom E. Being freed, having been exonerated 这里正确答案是 c. 如果选项里有he was exonerated and freed, 那么应该选这个,可惜没有,所以我们选C。 Because/ In that Eg: Teratomas are unusual forms of cancer because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears. A. Because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone B. Because they are composed of tissues like tooth and bone that are C.

Are able to be programmed to think like people B. Were able to be programmed to think as people C. Can be programmed to think as people can D. Could be programmed to think like people E. Are capable of being programmed to think like people do Could 还用在表可能性, 条件, 建议, 礼貌的要求。 Eg: John could be the one who stole the money. If I had more time, I could travel around the world. You could spend your vacation here Could I have sth to drink? Like/As 强调两个名词用like 强调两个名词的动作用as 此外,通常用Just as代替in the same way that… Like/Such as 在GMAT 里,like意思是和。。。相似,而such as指举例 Eg: Can you buy me some fruit like oranges or grapefruit?这里是说能不能帮我买些水果像桔子葡萄等的,而不是句子和葡萄。 Can you buy me some fruit such as oranges or grapefruit?这里则是说能不能帮我买一些水果比如说桔子和葡萄。 Such as还可以拆开来用,I would like you to buy such fruit as oranges and grapefruit for me.
Not…but/Rather than Eg: Daodao is not a cat but a dog. Not Sandy but Sue will be studying with us today. Daodao is a cat rather than a dog.错,很明显,意思不通。 I want a cat rather than a dog. 正确。 这里表达一种preference, cat over dog. I need X, not Y=I need X but not Y=I need not Y but X I need X rather than Y =I need X, but I don’t mean I need not Y. Just to show preference.

Due to Due to=Caused by Eg: The game ‘s postponement was due to rain. Does not mean “because of” Eg: The game was postponed due to rain. 错误,应该改成because of rain. Neither A nor B /either A or B就近原则, 动词跟B。 Neither A or B, nor C Not A or B, nor C So +adj.+ as to + verb So 和as之间没隔离再GMAT里 是错误的。 (待续。。。) |
