错的这两题，还是没想明白
OG11(紫皮)SC-72
The gyrfalcon，an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction；its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970’s.
(A)  extinction；its numbers are now five times greater than
(B)  extinction；its numbers are now five times more than
(C)  extinction，their numbers now fivefold what they were
(D)  extinction，now with fivefold the numbers they had
(E)  extinction，now with numbers five times greater than
错选了E,OG的解释是逗号使得后面整句话好像在修饰extinction,有一定道理，但明显extinction是不能with numbers的，如果硬要这么说，那么正确答案A中的its也可以说是指代extinction。感觉从语法角度来讲，A和E没有什么区别，形式和理解上A更好。

OG11(紫皮)SC-73
Analysts blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture
(A)  colder and wetter than was usual in some regions，which slowed
(B)  which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions，slowing
(C)  since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions，which slowed
(D)  being colder and wetter than usually in some regions，slowing
(E)  having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed
用slowing这个分词结构,那么应该修饰的是前面整个句子,即"分析家责备May's迟钝的零售"这件事减缓了(slowing)"烧烤架和家具的销售";但个人觉得是"May's迟钝的零售"减缓了(slowing)"烧烤架和家具的销售"

Any medical test will sometimes fail to detect a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one when it is not．
(A)  a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one
(B)  when a condition is present and indicate that there is one
(C)  a condition when it is present and indicate that it is present
(D)  when a condition is present and indicate its presence
(E)  the presence of a condition when it is there and indicate its presence
 

正确答案中的it似乎也可以指代medical test，OG的解释中说“In this sentence the pronoun it does not always refer to condition，and，for the sake of clarity and correctness，it must”^_^

OG11(紫皮)SC-92
According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching，companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people，about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation's four-year colleges and universities．
(A)  equivalent to the enrollment of
(B)  the equivalent of those enrolled in
(C)  equal to those who are enrolled in
(D)  as many as the enrollment of
(E)  as many as are enrolled in
 

错选了C，OG解释equal一般用来修饰不可数的量，得记住。正确答案E中，是不是省略了those,补全为 as many as those are enrolled in ？

OG11(紫皮)SC-102
Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns，it had provisions for only twenty-four days．
(A)  they had in their previous campaigns
(B)  their previous campaigns had had
(C)  they had for any previous campaign
(D)  in their previous campaigns
(E)  for any previous campaign
 

这个比较级太简化了，没敢选，补全后是不是 than those they had had for any previous campaign ?

01.18-19作业
在OG题目的基础上自我总结出一套GMAT语法
OG11(黄)阅读第11篇（RC51~57题）

18，19号的作业是在OG题目的基础上自我总结出一套GMAT语法来，可以参考附件中的石林语法总结。

先阅读了一下Sean发来的石林语法总结，将深有体会的话语摘录了一部分下来，不知道这能不能包含在自我总结的范畴之中。

5．as 的固定搭配

begin as, depict as, regard as, perceive as, represent as, see as, be prizeless as, be acclaimed as, think of as, be seem as

6．consider

consider something ( 省略to be) something [正确答案的出现方式]赞一个，总结的真是太好了

aim at doing something

aid in doing sth做题时选错了，因为把aid看成和OG的用法一样了，怎么也不会想到去选择in doing sth 参见OG106

in that 标准书面英语，汉译为“原因体现在”。

the  -er (如more) the…结构必须放在句首

Be credit with doing  ;  credit sb with doing参见OG31

Took turns doing 轮流做某事本周三我们抢答时讨论过的问题

Continue 表已经开始并不断持续  A不能用现在进行时continuing B不能用作复合时态OG紫本83题的原句就用了复合时态

Distinguish A from B  ;  distinguish between A and B特别是后者要注意

Allow so to do 允许  ；   allow that 承认

作者使用倒装结构目的在于强调，因此A选项使用倒装结构,正确答案一定是A。

*语义重复一定错！

注意(rise, raise, grow, soaring, increase的使用而使语义重复的情况)

from…to…当中不能加up or down

opposition = against     orbit = around           annually = a year

7                  对称性问题

and, but, not only……but also(also 有时省略)，

or，nor，either……or，neither……nor，as well as，

rather …than(如果前面有不定式的话，后面不定式往往被省略)，

not……but(优选结构)，from……to，as…as…

1．省略问题

*当前后两个问题对称时，后半句的be动词可能被省略，to do and do something, to可以省略；如发现一个选项有意省略‘to’或被动词，则很有可能是正确答案。

to do A，to do B，to do C，to do D，and to do E

to do A，do B，do C，do D，and do E

注
            意：CAN与TO 一样，要么全有，要么全省
                

2．平行对称结构

多个小分句之间要平行对称，在最后一个分句前补出and (OG32)。即在肯定句时，补and；在否定或选择含义时，补or。

EG: A，B，C，D，and E

and 在画线部分中或画线部分的前面，and是一个解题点。

3．否定句的平行结构

（1）否定句的定义

句子出现no, not时（有NO，NOT才是否定句）;“Never… …”是肯定句，表示否定的含义

I have never been to U.S.A and Australia.←肯定句

（2）否定句用or替换and

主动语态变为被动语态，该选项有可能错，但并一定错。在没有正确性错误（CORRECTIVENESS）的情况下，优先选择主动语态。

*实意名词>动词>形容词>抽象名词>分词动名词>从句

存在该种错误，并不一定错，看是不是两个选项中唯一的区别，如support > be supportive of

半抽象名词，即动词和名词形式一样的名词，如result, help, cost, increase, base等，优选动词词性的选项。

3                  宾语从句和定语从句

1．宾语从句一定有that，无that必错

除require of sb. that……，其他动词后跟代词（I told you that……）一般为错误的干扰项

V + that 对

V + sb to do 对

V +sb that 错

*介词 + which ＞ where参见OG59

3．口语化表达

maybe 错（probably对）

6．As is based 错！
            要用based。Base / compare 永远用被动

Doubled, tripled, quadrupled 错！
            只能用主动

Do it  错(指代不清)   ;   do so 对

every one 错（有歧义）； All..  each 对！前半段强调总体，后半段强调个体
                

Term 术语  是人is  错！指人 refer 对！;    理论        is  错!   Resemble 对!

肯定句AS…AS…,否定句 NOT SO …AS，NEVER…AS…AS…

⑷CONTINUE：不用现在进行时，即is continuing 错continue出现在OG Verbal Review83题中

⑸考多个复合时态时，单一时态正确。

用which指代前面整个句子（WHICH一定不能用来指代前面整个句子）OG Verbal Review84

12、between和among

between……and  答案通常是between  p16,69

14、只用主动：double, triple, quadruple, prove

        只用被动：base, compare

5．在其他相同的情况下，定语从句that的尽量省略原则。

6．代词指代要尽量地明确清晰。当前面出现两个名词，后面出现代词指代时，有可能出现指代模糊的错误。

7．对称性问题（最重要）：and连接两个部分应当用相同形式，是句子时要尽量使用相同句式，还有not only……but also，or，nor，either……or，neither……nor，as well as，rather than，not……but，from……to，

        HOW引导的方式状语从句，THAT 引导的定语从句，WHAT，BECAUSE引导的原因状语从句。即when…when…; that…that…;how…how…;有可能错，但不一定错

and前面所连的两个句子都有be动词或不定式时，后面的句子经常省略be动词或不定式，省略了be动词或不定式的选项是正确答案。

平行对称结构，分句1……，分句2……，分句3……。and分句4，1）保持形式上的对称，同时要保持含义上的对称（动作性的名词对应动作性名词）；2）原文无平行结构，答案出现平行结构必错。

3           as的用法

4                  做连词

1．as, like的混合考法：
            WP21/93     WP29/134

Like （介词）+ 名词或名词短语

As (连词) + 句子（as作连词（像…一样），后面跟一个句子），需要补出助动词，且与主句保持一致。

Like A, B do (A, B必须是完全相同的结构)

Elephants emit low-frequency sounds, believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, that they may use as a secret language to communicate with other members of the herd.

主语+谓语+宾语，done。如果过去分词放在句末是修饰主语的，可以认为这个句型不是ETS喜欢的。

另外believed to be有Quetzalcoatlus现在仍存在的意味。to have been比to be好，to have been表believe之前就是的。
