Ø 本题为…,…and…平行结构,后面两个成分是名词短语,则划线部分也应为名词短语,排除ADE
Ø C的along with fears改变了原文意思,B的of interest rates and of fears说明了两个都在lowering,是大并列中的小并列,选B
Ø CD没有说明fears在lower,改变了原文意思 |
Ø B正确的用了三个平行对称的名词短语来表达油价下跌引起的三个结果: a lowering of…, a rally in…, and a weakening of…
Ø A的lowering the fears…中的lowering看起来像是动词,引起歧义;A也没有遵守平行对称
Ø CD中,along with使得fears…称为一个独立的结果,而不是lowering的宾语,改变了原文意思
Ø DE用动名词从句(lowering…)取代了名词短语,打破了平行结构,且显得awkward, |
考点: |
Ø 平行对称:…,…and…
Ø 逻辑关系: 用along with代替连词and, 使后一个成分脱离了lowering, 改变了句子原意 |
At issue is the need for logical and formal parallelism in a coordinate series. B, the best choice, clearly and correctly uses parallel noun phrases to list three effects of a drop in oil prices: a lowering of..., a rally in ..., and a weakening of.... In place of the correct lower before fears, choice A uses an incorrect participial adjective, lowering, that could cause confusion by seeming at first to function as a verb. A also violates parallelism. In C and D, the use of along with confuses meaning by making fears about inflation an independent effect, not an object of lowering. D and E violate parallelism by substituting an awkward gerund clause for the first noun phrase.

Ø Of …’s语意重复,排除ABC
Ø 句子提示时间为after the Civil War,应该用过去时,而不是过去完成时,排除E,选D |
Ø 正确答案D中,contemporaries of H T已经表达了完整的所有格,不需要再加所有格符号’s
Ø ABC用了重复的所有格
Ø 除D外其他选项都有时态错误,因为两个动作几乎是在过去同时发生的,因此必须用过去时maintained和had,因此ABE的has和maintain/C的have maintained和E的had maintained都是错的 |
考点: |
Ø 语意重复:重复的所有格 x of y’s
Ø 逻辑关系: 时态:两个动作发生的时间及彼此的时间顺序 |
In choice D, the best answer, the phrase contemporaries of Harriet Tubman presents a complete possessive without adding an apostrophe (e.g., Tubman's). Choices A, B, and C use a redundant possessive: contemporaries of Harriet Tubman's. All choices other than D have errors in verb tense. Because the sentence describes essentially simultaneous actions completed in the past, the simple past tense forms maintained and had are required. Thus, the present tense forms has and maintain are incorrect in A, B, and E, as are . the present perfect have maintained in C and the past perfect had maintained in E.

Ø 句子强调的是增长而不是百分比,B改变了句子强调重心,排除
Ø 句子给出时间提示”from 1982 to 1987”.是一段持续的时间,因此要用完成时,排除AE
Ø D可能产生歧义:每年会达到这样一个增长率,而不是每年增长这么多
Ø C的in the years 1982 to 1987以及increased annually明确表达了每年增长的意思,选C
Ø 疑问:five and ten percent是5到10的意思吗? |
Ø 句子强调重心为sales of new small boats,因此其必须作为句子的主语
Ø 时间是开始和结束于过去,是过去的一段时间,因此用一般过去时
Ø Annually放在增长的数字后面,合适的表达了每年多少的意思
Ø BCDE改变了句子强调重心,扰乱了句子的意思
Ø BCD用的动词时态不对
Ø C的five and ten缺少between,因而makes no sense
Ø E: clumsy and confused |
错误点: |
Ø 时态: 在过去开始过去结束的一段时间不用完成时,用一般过去时.只有过去开始持续到现在的时间才用完成时 |
考点: |
Ø 逻辑关系:句子的强调重心要作为句子的主语
Ø 精确性: annually放在数字后面,精确表达每年增长多少的意思
Ø 时态:过去开始过去结束的一段时间内发生的动作要用一般过去时
Ø 逻辑关系: 缺少between, five and ten percent 缺少实际意思 |
A, the best choice, conveys the relevant information clearly and directly. Because the focus of interest is the sales of new small boats, that should be the subject of the sentence. Since the period of time covered began and ended in the past, the verb should be in the simple past tense (increased). The adverb annually fits most logically after the amount of the increases. B, C, D, and E all distort the focus and disrupt the sensible order of ideas. In addition, B, C, and D use incorrect verb tenses to refer to the simple past (is, have increased, and has occurred). In C, the expression five and ten percent makes no sense without the word between. Finally, E is especially clumsy and confused.

OG |
Ø …and…,前后平行对称.后面是partly because…,前面也要用partly because…,选D
Ø BE: acquire的主语有歧义,看起来好像是breeders而不是steers |
Ø 正确答案E最好的表达了crossbreeding(杂交)的目的—partly to acquire
Ø A的in part that从语法上无法把划线部分跟前面部分连接起来
Ø AB的in part 跟partly 不平行
Ø C表达的意思为steers’s acquisition导致了杂交,改变了原文意思
Ø D用了被动,awkward并产生逻辑错误: steers不是acquisition的对象 |
错误点: |
Ø 不了解crossbreeding的意思,光从平行上猜的答案
Ø 平行不一定要完全对应[Z1] |
考点: |
Ø 逻辑关系:对全文的正确理解,acquire是目的还是结果
Ø 平行对称:partly…and partly,不能用in part…and partly
Ø 句子结构: A的in part that 无法将划线部分跟前面部分连接起来 |
Choice E is best; it best indicates purpose for crossbreeding-- partly to acquire. In A, in part that does not grammatically connect the underlined portion to the first part of the sentence (the independent clause). In both A and B, in part is not parallel with and partly in the nonunderlined portion. Choice C causes a misreading, suggesting that the steers' acquisition has caused the crossbreeding. D awkwardly and illogically shifts to the passive voice: certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers; the steers, however, are not agents in the acquisition.

Ø 主语是the…pattern,单数,谓语动词也要用单数,排除ABD(are)
Ø C的that修饰对象不确定,不知道是修饰crests and troughs还是修饰troughs,同样,后面的them也指代不清
Ø E的表达方式较简洁,且因为前面的stationary同时修饰crests and troughs,后面的they也明确指代这两种事物,选E |
Ø 本题需要排除复数插入语的干扰,找出主谓之间的单数对应关系,ABD的复数谓语are错误
Ø DE在with短语中引入了although从句,错误.although从句只能用在一个完整句子的谓语部分
Ø C用了正确的单数谓语is,且将although从句放在that从句的谓语部分 |
错误点: |
Ø Although从句的用法 |
考点: |
Ø 单复数:主谓搭配
Ø Although从句的用法 |
The main challenge in this sentence is to observe the agreement of subject and verb (the resulting flow pattern... is known...) despite the distraction of a complex intervening structure containing several plural elements (with crests and troughs...). Choices A, B, and D can, therefore, be eliminated because they use an incorrect plural verb form, are. Choice E uses the correct verb form, is, but it incorrectly introduces a dependent adverbial although clause into a prepositional phrase (with crests ...). Choice D also makes this error. Such dependent clauses can only occur in the predicates of full clauses. C, the best choice, uses the correct verb form, is, and correctly puts the although clause inside the predicate of the relative clause (that... rapidly).

Ø Like,考比较对象对等.AB都拿人和语言作比较,排除
Ø D的as with Auden,比较对象不明
Ø E的as is Auden’s不惯用,选C
Ø C: Auden的语言和James的语言做比较 |
Ø 本题比较对象应该是Auden’s language和Merrill’s language,只有C做到了正确的比较
Ø E: awkward and 不惯用 |
考点: |
Ø 比较对象对等
Ø As is x y is…是不惯用且awkward的 |
At issue is a comparison of Auden's language with Merrill's language. Only C, the best choice, uses the elliptical like Auden's (language being understood), to compare Auden's language with Merrill's language. A, B, and D compare Auden (the person) with Merrill's language. Choice E is awkward and unidiomatic.
207.A

OG |
Ø BE的their找不到先行指代对象,排除
Ø CD:前面是low,后面不必用higher,用high就可以表达出比较的意思,排除,选A
Ø Expense的high跟公司在为新学年作准备之间存在因果关系,而不是D的目的关系或C的归属关系(准备的费用高) |
Ø 正确答案A正确的用low和high这样的平行结构(都是形容词原级),且A明确了是谁在为下一个学年做准备(companies)
Ø BE的复数代词they或their缺少指代对象
Ø CDE将第二部分变成了形容词比较级,破坏了平行对称,同时,由于前面没有指出比较对象,这里用higher也是不合适的:不明确比什么高 |
考点: |
Ø 平行对称: 形容词原级对原级,不能对比较级
Ø 比较级:没有比较对象时,比较级的使用会产生不知道比什么高的疑惑
Ø 指代:缺少指代对象 |
A, the best choice, correctly balances the contrasting terms low and high in parallel form (adjectives in the positive degree). It also makes clear who, exactly, is preparing for the coming school year (companies). B uses the plural pronouns their and they without an appropriately stated referent. C, D, and E violate the parallelism needed for the contrasting terms by making the second term an adjective in the comparative degree (higher). Furthermore, the use of higher without a stated point of comparison makes it unclear what the expenses are higher than. E also uses the pronoun their without an appropriate referent.

Ø 举例不用like用such as,排除BC
Ø A: not normally…修饰的对象不明确,与其逻辑修饰对象离的太远,看起来像在修饰bone
Ø E的tissues看起来像在指代tooth and bone,因而改变了原文意思,选D |
Ø 只有E清晰地表述了teratomas由像牙齿和骨骼这样的组织组成,这类组织不易被发现长了瘤的意思.要清楚的表达这样的意思,tissues必须重复出现来引导同位语[Z2]
Ø AB没有重复出现tissues,表达不精确:好像不是tissues而是牙齿和骨骼不易发现长瘤
Ø BC用了like,改变了原文意思:BC说的是tissues不是牙齿和骨骼,只是像牙齿和骨骼
Ø D说composition,而不是tissues不易被发现,confused[Z3] |
错误点: |
Ø 虽然有一个同位语来修饰composition,但composition还是不能作为is found的主语.要注意,英语的表达习惯中,不能因为意思等同就能将两个词本身互换 |
考点: |
Ø 逻辑关系:到底什么is not normally found
Ø 同位语 |
Only E, the best choice, clearly states that teratomas consist of tissues such as tooth and bone, and that such tissues are not normally found in the organ with the teratoma. Clear statement of this fact requires the repetition of tissues to establish the appositive--tissues normally found.... Without such repetition, A and B imprecisely state that the tooth and bone, as opposed to the tissues, are not normally found in the affected organ. Choices B and C alter the meaning with the use of like', that is, they suggest that the tissues are not tooth and bone, but only like them. The confused syntax of D states that their composition, not the tissues, is found in the organ....

Ø …and…,考平行对称.前面是grant,后面应该也是动词原形,选C |
Ø 平行对称: would grant x and (would) penalize y, would可以省略
Ø ABDE没有维持平行对称,A的代词they指代不清,B的hiring illegal aliens would be a penalty没有实际意思
Ø E用了不连贯的被动不定式,干扰了原文意思 |
考点: |
Ø 平行对称:…and… |
The sentence contains a relative clause (that...) indicating, in its compound predicate, two effects of the immigration legislation: (it) would grant x and (would) penalize y. The auxiliary would may be omitted before penalize, but the main verbs must remain parallel. Only C, the best choice, observes these conditions. A and B produce incoherent, fused sentences in which the two main clauses are not parallel. Furthermore, in A the referent of they is unclear, and in B the statement hiring illegal aliens would be a penalty makes no sense. D violates parallel structure by substituting a present participle (penalizing) for the second main verb. E introduces an incoherent passive infinitive construction that violates sense and parallel structure.

OG |
Ø …and…,考平行对称.本题考extend在and前的对应动作.根据句意应为spawned,选C |
Ø 正确答案A在语法上保持了平行,在逻辑上表达了动作的时间关系
Ø CD的过去式表示只在过去蔓延30 arches,改变了原文意思 |
错误点: |
Ø 动作的时间关系:实际是不理解句子的意思,N多不认识的单词,就直接用平行对称猜了答案.但本题主语有两个形容词: largest和oldest. Spawned…1000 years ago是在描述oldest, extending是在描述largest(而largest是现在的状态而不是过去) |
考点: |
Ø 逻辑关系:动作发生的时间
Ø 平行对称:不一定要在时态上完全一致!!!!(动作的发生时间即时态优于形式平行,以后要先看时间关系再看平行形式) |
Choice A, the best answer, preserves grammatical parallelism while allowing for logical expression of temporal relationships; A employs the parallel participial phrases spawned... and extending ... to modify filigree. Other choices present different grammatical constructions that are not participial modifiers and thus not parallel to spawned: extends in B is a present-tense verb; it extended in D begins a new clause; and is extending in E ungrammatically introduces a new predicate. In C, extended is nonparallel if it is assumed to be a past tense verb form; if it is assumed to be a past participle, it illogically states, as does D, that the filigree extended only in the past.
[Z2]Tissues不能明确代表所有这一类的组织,而可能只代表牙齿和骨骼 [Z3]后面不是有一个tissues…同位语修饰composition吗?那么composition应该等同tissues |
