GMAT sc复习日志

torisea

之前看了两个贴很有启发，决定实践新方法，通过语感来做sc，而不是机械的实践规则，确实没有什么规则是放之四海而皆准的。从昨天晚上到现在我仔细的感觉了20多道perp了，尤其是perp里的gwd题，对我的启发非常大，我现在已经逐渐开始有感觉了，时间花的相当值得。具体的进化过程可以看我盖的楼哈。


gwd题对语感的要求是最高的，看起来最平行的可能是不对的，只有表意最准确，最清晰，最简洁，句子的重心最稳当的，就是对的。

我的方法如下：1，划线部分较短重点看语法问题，划线部分较长且选项涉及语序的优先看逻辑问题。
2， 语法问题就是GWD所谓的大平行概念（修饰的并列，类似事物的比较，相反事物的比较，时间前后的比较）（关注than as or 等）
3，划线部分发现不了问题的看选项（主语的词性，谓语的完整，代词的多余，词汇的重复使用，固定搭配）4，排除选项，切记切记，要从拿得准的语法点入手，拿不准的不到迫不得已不要用，盲目自信的用了排除了，结果就会是排除错了。


我的套路如下：看到题第一步是消除紧张，通过读完整句意——主谓宾+平行关键词like，and，previous，once等 + 从句主谓宾（that，which具体指谁，with sth这个sth的动词是什么），先确定是“平行”还是“非平行”题
非平行题，至少要通过确定选项中的2个以上考点来选择，不然太容易错了。


我目前的问题
通过理解句子意思，判断which和ing等用法还是不够准。
than后面的内容到底是跟谁比，第一遍读完有时分不清比的是主语还是宾语。was，being，the这种词都是有含义的，要从意思的角度分析到底用哪个什么时候用with，and，逗号，while，ving，which，that怎样才能更精确的表达意思

我每次出错犯的毛病
选项没有纵向对比所有考点，过于自信的直接从某一个考点就先排除了几项然后挑了个对的而不是排除了所有错的，这样非常非常容易错。
我目前对语义的理解已经有以下几方面感觉（总结中），欢迎纠正

语义清晰
modifier的位置距离被修饰语越近，表意越清晰
修饰语不能改变句子的重心


语义准确
动作和时态的搭配准确
动名词和名词的使用要准确（如by a & b指的是用这个动作v-ing，还是用这个方法-tion）


语义简洁
强调某个内容的表达方式不重复出现（如is consistently doing）

想问一下 less than 什么固定搭配。。。。。

185 这道题目选C
some 4000中的some=about，是大约的意思，这里是说有4000家drive-ins。以前有4000家，现在只有不足原先的1/4家，也就是不足1000家。可数名词，不用less，ADE错。
amount：金额，数量，都是用来修饰不可数名词，如：data, praise, money等等，这里是可数名词，所以不能用amount

我也看到了这几道题，总觉得自己看的太慢·····

lz。这道题应该选的是C，PREP的答案是C，不是E。

恩 答案是C的

181. (GWD-24-38)
In January 1994 an oil barge ran aground off the coast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, leaking its cargo of 750,000 gallons into the ocean, while causing the pollution of the city's beaches.  
A.    leaking its cargo of 750,000 gallons into the ocean, while causing the pollution of
B.    with its cargo of 750,000 gallons leaking into the ocean, and it polluted
C.    and its cargo of 750,000 gallons leaked into the ocean, polluting
D.    while it leaked its cargo of 750,000 gallons into the ocean and caused the pollution of    
E.    so that its cargo of 750,000 gallons leaked into the ocean, and they were polluting

这道题很耗时，一眼看不出来能排除哪几个
ran aground,leak,pollute三件事，有先后顺序的，平行题
考点是，and在前在后，用while，with还是ving
前两个并列造成pollute肯定会更合理一点，B的it不好，E的so that不好，排除
ACD中，D是aground平行 while泄露和污染，污染在后，这逻辑感觉不太对，AC之间，C貌似更简洁，选C。
但是是很不确定的选的。

应该是C 吧，答案？


分词形式polluting, 表伴随结果

185. (GWD-8-Q41)
When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many.
A.    there are less than one-quarter that many
B.    there are fewer than one-quarter as many
C.    there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount
D.    the number is less than one-quarter the amount        
E.    it is less than one-quarter of that amount

太难了，一到than的题我就错。。。哎
4000人这应该是fewer吧，锁定在BC，然后就不知道哪个好了，答案说amount是指不可数，amount不对，所以用many


prep讲解
(A)   Correcet；补全省略即there are fewer thanone-quarter as many (as there were in the late 1950s)； fewer修饰可数名词正确；one-quarter在此做副词修饰as many，后面不用再加of，类似于twice as many/much as。


1. as many的用法(摘自Longman):
as many=a number that isequal to another number à表示同样的数字

They say the people of Los Angeles speak 12 languages and teach just as many in the schools.

in as manydays/weeks/games etc.
A great trip! We visited five countries in as many days (=in five days).
  *: "twice as many","one-quarter as many", etc.都是非常常见的用法，记住这样的表达。

183. (GWD-6-Q22)
Charles Lindbergh, for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight, was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore refused to carry even a pound of mail, despite being offered $1,000 to do so.
A.    Charles Lindbergh, for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight, was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore
B.    When Charles Lindbergh was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, being very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he
C.    Since he was very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, so Charles Lindbergh
D.    Being very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight was the reason that Charles Lindbergh      
E.    Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh

不是平行题，有逻辑关系
最简洁的表达，是把最重要的东西放在主语，而不是宾语；前后共享的主语，比如I不必放在最前面，反而可以放在中间连接句子。
reluctant to have extra weight 导致的he refuse，所以这个成分放在前面带着his attmpt是比反过来的顺序更好的。
锁定CE看是否有错，C罗嗦一点，so 和since重复了，选E。
