[倒计时38天]
几天没来更新，因为没有学英语。回来一算倒计时只剩下38天了。上个周自己的计划完成的也不好，多半时间分给了备考其他的。考试是考完了，不知道结果怎样，忐忑地回到学校，晚上效率也不是太高。
今天晚上回来把第7章的笔记弄完了，发上来。还剩下第8章和第10章（第9章的idiom太多啦，自己积累，不打笔记了）需要整理。上周在图书馆借了一本白勇语法，做过几题，感觉语法还是很薄弱。明天继续进入学霸状态。加油。

下午在图书馆继续看逻辑Bible，为了赶快看完我就没有再做每章后面的Problem Set了，只做了例题。
这个周一定可以看完。我也要整理自己的逻辑Bible笔记，虽然书上每一章都有Review和要点，但是我觉得可以再加上一点点自己总结的东西，做一个简单的小笔记，这样就不用总是回书中翻英语了。
还做了白勇语法，边做边看解析，效率不太高，只做了一章。
今天晚上回宿舍整理曼哈顿语法笔记，要把剩下两章内容整理完。

Chapter 2
[N]8- 分号前后必须是完整的主谓结构。
[N]9- 选不出来的时候也可以关注句子划线部分之外；逗号不能连接两套完整的主谓。
[N]10- permit的用法：permit sb. to do sth.；错误用法：permit+that从句；permit sb. doing；sb. be permitted sth.
[N]12- the rising有专有名词rise，偏向于用名词。
[N]13- 并列句的省略（第二个分句中省略实意动词，不符合并列句的省略原则）。
[N]17- BC项hopefully（充满希望的，人们希望的）为保证单一意思不用hopefully。
[N]18- such+n.+that 搭配才正确。
[N]21- CD项，注意compare的元素，品味句间关系，找准连接词。
[N]24- 用法错误：as an instance; like to do; such as to do.

昨天的附件居然没有传上来。
今天看了逻辑Bible的一章内容，虽然很少，但是掌握的不是很好。
在图书馆学习就不能用电脑，但是回宿舍有效利用的时间比较少。

[N]26- also不能连接两个介词短语，也不能起到连词的作用。
[N]28- 错误用法：one...another one; one...other ones; one... the other;
正确用法：one... another; each other; some... others.
[N]29- 代词指代：it 不能指代介词短语&前面的整个句子；it可以向后指代主语从句&不定式短语。
[N]32- Make logical sense! the body was the man在逻辑上是不合理的。
doubt的用法-肯定形式：whether or that引导的宾语从句；否定形式：只能由that引导定语从句。
[N]33- some... another搭配错。
[N]35- stonemason 石匠。主语和位于中间没有插入语而被逗号隔开是错误的。
[N]39- prep. + one's being done永远错。

开始OG的SC第二遍，因为第一遍没有经验画的书上很乱，所以选择第二遍用电脑版的来做。
区别于第一遍，要求自己每一题排除任何选项都要有凭有据，可能时间有点长，但是避免了自己胡猜乱蒙。
当前进度：1-30题，错5题。

[9-26]本期SC错题订正整理

3. Although a surge in retail sales have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally under way, many economists say that without a large amount of spending the recovery might not last.

(D) has raised hopes that a recovery is finally

(E) raised hopes for a recovery finally

第一遍和第二遍做题都选择了E项。我认为D中that从句不如E简洁。

对照OG的解释：

D Correct. In this sentence,the subject and verb agree, and the verb is in the appropriate tense; a recovery is finally is clear and concise.

E For a recovery finally is awkward and—to the extent that it can be seen as grammatical—does not make sense.

参考论坛上的解释：

1）E选项的 hope for + n.这里加了一个句子，make nosense.(by ainiAnnie)

2）至于E，我想说的是，hope 后面加这种长成分，最好用that 从句。介宾这个结构本身就是存在歧义，因为你不知道那个finally under way是说的hope还是recovery。(by mahaofei001)

http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-673779-1-1.html

3）关于BCE用for，在gmatclub搜到的官方解释（赞！）："raised hopes for X <a recovery finally underway>"

Is that what we were hoping for? A "recovery finally underway"? What does that mean? If we just want to talk about what we're hoping for, we're hoping for a recovery.

If we want to get more complicated, we could also say that we hope that something is true: that a recovery was finally underway. But we actually have to spell that out - I'm not just hoping for a noun: recovery. I'm hoping that something is true about that recovery - that it has already started. (by DUKB24)

13. There are several ways to build solid walls using just mud or clay, but the most extensively used method has been the forming of bricks out of mud or clay, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they are laid in the wall in mud mortar.

(D) to form the mud or clay into bricks, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, to lay them

(E) that bricks were formed from mud or clay, which, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, were laid

在D项和E项之间纠结。犯了指代方面的错误。搜了搜论坛里其他同学的问题，好像和我的纠结点不一样，就不管了。

OG的解释：

D Correct. The phrases to form and to lay in the second clause are parallel to to build in the first clause.

E The relative clause beginning with which apparently(but nonsensically)describes the closest nouns, mud or clay, rather than bricks.(*which的位置导致指代的名词变了。记得曼哈顿语法中modifier一章说过要尽可能地离要修饰的名词近一些。*)

论坛上大牛的解释：

E：that引导名词性从句，作为has been的宾语，与主句主语的method在逻辑上不平行；were的时态不正确；which就近指代mud or clay，不符合逻辑，把原本两个应为平行的语法成分变成了一个从属于另一个。(by DUKB24)

19. A pioneer journalist, Nellie Bly’s exploits included circling the globe faster than Jules Verne’s fictional Phileas Fogg.

(B) The exploits of Nellie Bly, a pioneer journalist, included

(D) Included in the pioneer journalist Nellie Bly’s exploits are

没有仔细分析B项的句子结构，看到exploits of NB, 认为exploits和journalist不是平行的，所以排除了B项。

OG的解释：

B Correct.ThisversioncorrectlyattributesthemodifierapioneerjournalisttoNellieBly.(*B项的a pioneer journalist是就近修饰NB，是对的。*)

D Sincethiseventclearlyhappenedin thepast,thetense of theverbareiswrong.Pilingontoo manydescriptivewords for the nounexploits[thepioneerjournalistNellieBly'sexploits]makesthephraseunwieldyandawkward.

论坛上的大牛解释：

a-挂在句首若是'n. ,'该名词就是逗号后紧接主词的同位语，该名词等于主词的「换句话说」或「补充解释」。journalist是指人，exploit是指事，前者在逻辑上无法成为后者的同位语。（*这个也是我做题的时候排除的原因，同样的原因我把B项排除了，这里把A的解释也保留，对比一下思路的差别。*）

d-主谓不一致。此句倒装句法，真正的主语是'circling....'这件事，be动词应为单数is。(by  danyuchn)

28. In virtually all types of tissue in every animal species, dioxin induces the production of enzymes that are the organism’s trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it.

(A) trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it

(E) attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant

对句子意思的理解欠佳，问题主要出在最后一个分句上。

OG的解释：

While chemical that is irritating it and chemical irritating it are both grammatically correct and could be appropriate in some usages, they are excessively wordy for this context.

A Trying is awkward, especially in this construction with organisms.

E Correct. In this sentence, the noun attempt replaces the gerund trying in this construction with organism's.

论坛大牛的解释：

1)A：trying用的不好，attempt比较好；这个it的指代对象很模糊

E：正确选项；organism’s trying to metabolize，or render harmless，the chemical irritant are enzymes（嵌入式从句）(by DUKB24)

2)The -ing form of a verb can be used as a noun (e.g., running is her favorite sport), but it is often awkward, particularly when used with a possessive, as in this case.Substituting the noun attempt for the gerund trying eliminates the problem.

3)the chemical that is irritating it是正确的话，it 还是指代organism。就是这种化学物质会刺激organism; 翻译就是：在几乎每一个动物物种的所有类型的组织里，dioxin促进了一种酶的合成，这个过程实际上是组织在试图分解化学刺激剂。

29. Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

(A) Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering

(E) Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

这一题我是从句子结构入手分析的，认为后面的分句应该是-ing做伴随状语的。而实际上根据句意，outnumber是句子中主要的动词。

OG的解释：

The main point of the sentence is that Dickinson's letters to her sister-in-law outnumber

her letters to anyone else.To emphasize this point,outnumber should be the main verb,and the description introduced by the passive verb were written needs to be changed from a mainclause to an adjectival phrase.

A The long,wordy opening clause gives too much emphasis to the period when Dickinson's letters were written;it is unclear what outnumbering refers to.

E Correct.The information about the period when Dickinson's letters were written is contained in an adjectival phrase set off by commas, and the main verb outnumber refers clearly to letters.

论坛上大牛的解释：

1)A is illogical

the usage of v-ing:

the "ing" action is SIMULTANEOUS with, and SUBORDINATE to, the main action;

the "ing" action is a DIRECT AND IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCE of the main action.

my brother, who ate bagel bites for breakfast every single day of his high school career, graduated in 1994. --> correct; his eating bagel bites had no impact on his graduation date.

my brother ate bagel bites for breakfast every single day of his high school career, graduating in 1994. --> incorrect; these are two unrelated observations, but this construction erroneously implies some sort of relationship.

2)做伴随肯定说不通，毕竟不是同时发生的；（by liisabella）

(*这个是提问的楼主说的，想想我的思路确实是不对*)

3)A选项的主干是：ED's letters to SHD were written over a period ( ), outnumbering her letter to anyone else. 主句讲述的是time (period)，v-ing 讲述的是number (outnumbering)这两者毫不相干，所以这句话就是non-sense! 正确的句子主干是：
ED's letters to SHD (, which ____,) outnumbered her letter to anyone else.(by babybearmm)
