Following the nutrition board’s advice on salt consumption would mean a virtual end of the use of salt in cooking, an avoidance of obviously salty foods, and reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium.
解题思路:
首先,句子大结构——主语Following the nutrition board’s advice on salt consumption; 谓语would mean;后面三个并列短语做宾语。而题目中化线部分显然不与a virtual end of the use of salt in cooking, an avoidance of obviously salty foods并列,因此必须从选项中找出与这两个短语形式相近的名词短语。排除A、B。
再看C、D、E, 从逻辑以及语意上排除C、D。
这题的考点:平行结构、修饰成分、以及逻辑表达
注意区别a reduction of the reliance on processed foods与a reduced reliance on processed foods意义的不同
以及体会E中relience on processed foods that contain significant but often hidden amounts of sodiuma这种表达方式比起C、D的简洁、有效、避免歧义
大全中类似的题目有不少,例如:
One view of the economy contends that a large drop in oil prices should evetually lead to lowereing interest rates, as well as lowering fears about inflation, a rally in stocks and bonds, and a weakening of the dollar.
正确选项:B a lowering of interest rates and of fears about inflation
The economic forces which may affect the new public offering of stock include sudden dowturns in the market, hedging and other investor strategies for preventing losses, lossening the interest rates in Washington, and fearing that the company may still be undercapitalized.
正确选项:E a lossening of the interst rates in Washington, and a fear that the company may still be undercapitalized.
这题D选项容易误选- a lossening of the interst rates in Washington, and a fear of the still undercapitalized company
GMAT语法中不只要求形式尽量对称工整,最重要的是逻辑意思要正确明了。
