求教关于GMAT中的there be

MiaZhang

GMAT SC中似乎there be不怎么受待见。 LZ本人在北京上XDF的时候，老师直接总结说做题时秒杀一切there be！不过现实中做题好像不是那么回事
关于怎么样是正确的的there be，现小心求证~~~

那就不信。很简单。

其实lz还是要拿实际的题目来解答。
there be 的使用关键还是要看句子的语义.
there be 更多强调的是存在性（refer to RON），

你可以看看
og 12 115. Gall's hypothesis of there being different mental functions localized in diferent parts of the brain is widely accepted today.


RON- explain

in both (d) and (e), "there is..." is problematic, from the standpoint of meaning.
consider the difference between the following two sentences:
first-aid supplies are in the drawer --> we already know that there are first-aid supplies; the point is to specify where they are located.
there are first-aid supplies in the drawer --> the point is to specify the existence of the first-aid supplies (their location is an afterthought).

same thing is going on here:

different mental functions are located in different parts of the brain --> we already know that there are different mental functions; the hypothesis is that they are located in different parts of the brain (THIS MAKES SENSE, since the existence of different mental functions is obvious to anyone)

there are different mental functions located in different parts of the brain --> this statement emphasizes the existence, not the location, of the different mental functions. that's the wrong emphasis.

there be可以对的，关键是这个be的选择要注意，就近原则。不过很容易出错，而且还经常以there being等不受待见的形式出现，容易引起wordy，出错几率较大，尽量少用~~~加油！

there be就不要当做排除选项的必要条件就好了，XDF的很多原则或者是口诀到如今都有出入。。。。。还是按部就班分析题目，到最后一步二选一倒是可以看一下there be 是否会累赘或者是使用不当，建议来讲不要一上来就否定there be

做到现在似乎只有一题是选了there be的，大部分there be的表达都比较冗余。如果其他的选项没有什么大错误，一般不需要看there be。我自己的感觉
