正确答案是C, 我始终是没看懂。其他的考点都基本理解了, 唯独我有疑惑的这个地方没有看到解释。。如果是C正确,那么 she has lived in ..... and first came,这是不平行的啊?前面的句子用分号隔开,说明是两个句子,前后两句子主谓独立。所以为什么是选C呢?其他选项是错,但选C我确实也无法理解。
呃……其实你做多了题,从GMAC出题的角度,就可以把A/B/D/E都排除掉了,这些选项里全都有在GMAC看来不正确的答案标志。所以这里很重要的一点,就是一定要知道,GMAT的语法,选择的一定是最优答案,而不是最正确的答案。 C选项:Born in Calcutta in 1940, author Bharati Mukherjee became a United States citizen in 1988; she has lived in England and Canada, and first came to the United States in 1961 to study at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. 基于对分号前的句子的理解:author B M出生于C,1988年变为美国公民;她一直住在E & C,第一次去美国是在1961年,学习... 这里要注意的是句子的逻辑意思,first came,强调的是一次性,第一次。所以用的是一般过去时。句子的逻辑意思没错 因为BY的第十章是逻辑表达,而且在GMAT考试中,逻辑语义已经越来越重要,所以要多注意句子的逻辑语义了……
