40. GWD26-Q40
The computer company’s present troubles are a result of technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it.
A. so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it.
B. so that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct.
C. in that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them.
D. that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct.
E. that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them
这道题选D
我做的时候是根据,代词放在最后可能出现指代不清的歧义,快速排掉了A,C,E在B和D中选了D
搜了解释,各种说法,最后终于找到了这道题的官方出处,og12语文分册84题
看了og的解释,才发现我想的是完全错误的
是个好题目
that在这里是做定语来修饰那三个原因的
a result of (X,Y and Z )that·····
所以,it ,them 统统错误,因为在这里就如og 说的that 指代三个原因做了correct的宾语 ,
而不是之前有人讨论的是 that引导了一个结果状语,尽管that可以引导结果状语(that也可以等于so that)
我也一度以为是结果状语
是定语从句~!!!
还有关于to do 和 for doing这两个点也在一个帖子上弄懂了
今天做的一道关于to do的选的和gwd的答案一样,事实证明这个是错的
多读外文报纸的好处还是好多的
17. GWD-26-Q17
Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.
A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may
B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to
C. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to
D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will
E. astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may
我选的是C ,gwd也是C
但是正确答案是D
有大牛找到了Nytimes上的原文
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E03E6DF1E3EF934A15754C0A96F958260
To help deal with public fascination -- and sometimes undue alarm -- about possible threats from asteroids, astronomers have adopted a scale that rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will collide with Earth.
又看到一个大牛的解释,茅塞顿开
http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-231776-3-1.html 20楼
这位大牛这么总结的
首先,C中rate的逻辑主语是astronomers,D中rate逻辑主语是scale。后者更加符合本句的逻辑意思。
另外,从C选项中我跟本不知道这个scale是干什么用的,只知道astronomers develop这个动作的目的(in order to)是rate sth.。可以这样理解,scale这个重要的名词在C选项中被废掉了。
而D选项清楚地表达了这个scale的功能,即a scale that can rate the likelihood。且D中没有用法错误。
To do修饰动词,逻辑主语是to do所修饰动作的发出者
For doing修饰名词,逻辑主语是for doing所修饰的名词
在没有确定句子本意判断逻辑主语的前提下,不能简单说谁优于谁。
类比例子:GWD-18-Q19
New genetic evidence—together with recent studies of elephants’ skeletons, tusks, and other anatomical features—provide compelling support for classifying Africa’s forest elephants and its savanna elephants as separate species.
A. provide compelling support for classifying
B. provide compelling support for the classification of
C. provides compelling support to the classification of
D. provides compelling support for classifying
E. provides compelling support to classify
大家还记得这道题吗?正确答案是D,这里同样没有用to do,因为evidence作classify的逻辑主语不合适,其逻辑主语应该是compelling support,所以C比D好。
所以,以后遇到A develop/provide B 后面接to do还是for doing,判断依据就是do/doing的逻辑主语到底应该是谁。如果应是动作发出者A则用to do;如果是名词B则用for doing
而这位大牛举得support的例子,我记得昨天还是前天做错了
选的to do
而看ron的解释是说support后面接名词比较好
但是还是不能让人完全信服,找了manhattan第九章的idiom也没找到关于support的具体用法
而今天看这个大牛的帖子真的觉得讲的太好了
而今天看这两道题目收获是很大~~
