完成时的标志有哪些?since不能跟过去完成时had done?(PREP第三题) until recently是不是出现肯定就完成时?in the last decade这样的结构是不是肯定不能用完成时而必须用过去时? while做连词能不能当BUT用?while做不同词性的用法时分别是什么意思呢?尤其是常见的while doing。 PREP笔记:第26题关于significant和siginifiantly的说法是否准确?新东方老师说原题用哪个答案就选哪一个。 第70题答案E中的they指代不是不准确吗?代词的指代到底应如何选择?GWD、PREP、新东方甚至OG里有很多互相矛盾的,现在是不是可以就近指代算正确? 关于that从句,前一句中有两个名词(如a of b),后面的that从句是不是确定肯定以及一定永远只能指代b? GWD里不少题目都指代a了。 关于fewer和less,新东方说fewer指人,less可以指可数或不可数名次,但一些题目里说less指代可数名词是错的。关于GWD,在仔细看过PREP笔记之后再回头看GWD发现太多互相不符合的东东了,多到三分之一的题目我都觉得没答案~到底怎么如何对待这两者?是不是应该把PREP奉为圣经?如果PREP笔记里的解释有错误,请指点一下~~ act/operate等等动词后面是不是应该跟as而不能跟like?比如说He acts as a robot. .....,but doing. but 可以这样用吗? what什么情况下可以替代that做引导词呢? contrast和contrary分别怎么用?如in/as/by contrast/contrary to/with谁对谁错? 还有几天就要考了!!感谢!! |
