补充材料270,308,365 谢谢!

270.
the Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in the sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.
B world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month
C world, when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
D world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
E world by proclaimation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
这道题答案选c,
可是我选了b, 用分词作伴随的结果.
在选择的时候,b,c我非常犹豫,从逻辑关系来讲,两种应该有区别, 可是也都有道理,
怎样做出合理判断?

308
the audubon society and other conservation groups, concerned over what they have perceived to be the serious threatening of the envionment as posed by the policies of the government, are preparing for a major political effort.
B perceived as the serious threat to the envionment as
E perceive as the serious threat to the envionment

本题答案选E,
我选了B.
我的问题, 在e中,后面的posed应该修饰前面envionment,
可是我觉得逻辑上讲不通呀
365
since chromosome damage may be caused by viaral infections, medical x-rays, and exposure to sunlight, it is important that the chromosomes of a population to be tested for chemically induced damage be compared with.
those of a control population.
划线部分就是答案,
有一疑问: 为什么it is important that 从句中谓语动词要用原形?

多谢大家!

个人意见，供参考：
270、用从句目的是为了是动作者的发出更加合理，用B做伴随状语是不如从句作为时间状语的好，你体会一下。B还有一个问题festival’s month 这种说法是错误的。

308、posed by the policies of the government修饰的是the serious threat to the envionment这个名词短语的中心词————the serious threat 。

365、虚拟语气

jacy

首先谢谢1stzhang, 真是我们的好斑竹.
270 同意.
308、posed by the policies of the government修饰的是the serious threat to the envionment这个名词短语的中心词————the serious threat 。


1.关于是修饰中心词还是紧贴的名词, 有什么标准吗?

2.还有经常在定语从句中看到这样的结构.....名词 of 名词, which....
请问, 这样的结构中, which 是不是一定指代紧贴前面的名词?
而不是前面的名词短语中心词?

365, 请问, 为什么是虚拟语气?
记得以前曾经问过一道101．
Several senio officials spoke to the press on condition that they not be named in the story。
B that their names will not be used
C that their names are not used
D of not being named
E they will not be named
Key：a
siebel的解释也是虚拟语气, 可是怎么确定呢?
而且没有相应的would have done之类 主句时态的变化, 怎么判断就是虚拟语气?

1stzhang

1、分词在句子中在“逻辑意思合理”的情况下优先就近修饰的。在GMAT中which引导的非限定性定语从句中的which只能指带前面一个词。

2、it is important that后面用虚拟语气。

jacy

谢谢.
是不是可以这样理解:
1.因为分词多数情况下,优先就近修饰.所以一般都是修饰紧贴前面的名词,
如果出现逻辑意思混乱, 才考虑是否修饰前面的中心词?
2.which引导的定于从句,总是代紧贴前面的名词, 不能代前面的中心词.

这样理解对吗?

不能一概而论. 见下题:
119. Executives and federal officials say that the use of crack and cocaine is growing rapidly among workers, significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already are a cost to business of more than $100 billion a year.
B. significantly compounding the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, which already cost business

which从句还是指代effects.这里可以从逻辑和主谓一致来判断.

其实，说白了。GMAT语法就是反复比较答案的过程，没有绝对的对，但有绝对的错。很多选择是矮子里面拔将军，如果非要针对一个选项分析它的语法知识是不太好的。

jacy

好. 谢谢
mindfree的例子很有说服力, 我明白了,
我想在考试中, 一定会有其他一些提示来表明是修饰中心词还是前面名词.
比如, 主谓一致,逻辑意思.
不能绝对地总结.
看来我还是要好好理解1stzhang兄关于:在比较中选择答案的真谛了.呵呵..

再次感谢大家.

mindfree

补充一下, 从逻辑上找被修饰部分是挑错误的一个步骤, SC中经常的错误是逻辑上的被修饰部分和语法上被修饰的部分不一致, 那就是错误. 比如说如果which前面的两个词在单复数上没有区别, 但是which紧跟的词(语法上的被指代部分)不是逻辑上的被指代部分, 错.

不能仅仅通过逻辑来判断, 要结合语法, 两者一致才是标准.

收到!
谢谢, 我要好好实践!
