想问一下一道语法题：

Q19:

Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

1. Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
2. An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that worked well in the past, makes missing signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear.
3. An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action is likely to miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past.
4. Executives’ being heavily committed to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes them likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them when they do appear.
5. Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

the key is C 但是我做题喜欢用首尾排除法

一看到C中的has worked well in the past我就把他给排除掉了，没想到她竟然是答案？！

og也很明确地说明了现在完成时的用法，这里怎么会这么用呢？

看来首尾排除法也不是那么好用，携隐jj 你考试时对于SC首用的方法是什么呢？望赐教

原讨论贴也没讨论这个时态为什么是对的，虽然C在其他方面表现不错。

携隐

leslie，为什么in the past要用完成时？过去曾经一度做的很好不代表这个动作一直在持续呀。完成时表达的是持续到现在的动作。in the past period才用完成时吧。

我做SC用的是主考点排除法。看到一个题目，再看BD选项（不一定是B和D，就是看两个区别最大的选项），基本就知道这个题目的主要考点了。排除有明显错误的，基本可以除掉三个，然后用更细的考点排除剩下的一个。

我的“主考点”基本都是很肯定的考点。像时态这种很容易错的考点，我绝对不会把它当作主考点来做主要排除的步骤的，除非只剩这个区别了，否则我一般都会去找其他的考点，因为时态比较容易错。

以下是引用携隐在2005-5-19 9:22:00的发言：

brandnew，你可犯了复习大忌啊。这样三天打渔两天晒网，好不容易培养起来的语感没有办法巩固，简直事倍功半啊，你得好好把这个怀毛病改了。哪怕一天看10个题目也好，一定要保持语感，保持接触。

实在管不住自己，就找个战友，相互鼓励监督。我第一次考试的时候，南瓜姐只要一看到我在线，就来提醒我努力，并且每一次谈话都以“要每天做题，哪怕10题也要做”，“要保持题感”结束，天天反复说，说的我现在二战的时候，哪天不看书了，耳边就好像听到南瓜又在说：MM你今天又没有看书！！！你要保持题感啊～～～

所言极是，我一定按你说的去做！！刚解载了MSN，看来又要重新装了。有时老公催催我还觉得好烦，其实想想还是很对的。

brandnew MM, 每天工作6小时, 能作这么多不错拉, 但是要注意总结哟!

我也订了6月底考, 羡慕, 你妈妈就过来了, 幸福, 我爸妈还要等十月份才能到, 现在正在预约签证. my baby will due in Nov, and you?

To 携隐MM, MM总算没那么忙了, 可以抓紧时间把GMAT一举拿下, 加油! 加油!

谢谢MM提醒，现在发现总结太重要了，不然还真不知道自己为什么老在同种类型的题目上载跟头。妈妈刚到，好幸福，什么都不让我作，就让我看书学习，看来不认真准备GMAT，太对不起老公和妈妈了。宝宝8月DUE，衣服我已经买好了。自己带宝宝好累，祝你的爸爸妈妈顺利签过,可以过来帮你。

brandnew，MSN可以不加，估计到时候打扰你的人比督促你的人多哦，呵呵。叫你老公监督你就好了。

5月21日中午12点

刚刚做了SC大全的15题，错了3个。太久没有练习新题，pace掌握又没感觉了，做的太赶了一点，15个题目才用了14分钟，还可以再看的仔细一些。

错的题目大多是时态的问题，也有比较的题，我觉得在这个时态上我很弱。下午看看语法书。不知道大家有什么好的方法没有？

错的题目如下：

637.                         Several studies have found that the coronary patients who exercise most actively have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary.

(A) have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary

(B) have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do

(C) have half the chance that they will die of a heart attack, or less, than those who are sedentary do

(D) are at least fifty percent less likely to die of a heart attack as those who are sedentary（E）

(E) are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack

这个题目我选C，做的太快了，没有化时间再理解一层。看到E，觉得应该是“什么的50%”的概念，就排除了，但是其实“比什么少50%”的概念表达的是同一个意思啊。C的后半句是没有表达清楚less什么吧，但当时我觉得是不是前面有比较，后面就省略了比较的内容呢？

640.                                She was a child prodigy, and Clara Schumann developed into one of the greatest pianists of her time.

(A) She was a child prodigy, and Clara Schumann

(B) A child prodigy, Clara Schumann

(C) Child prodigy that she was, Clara Schumann

(D) Clara Schumann has been a child prodigy, and she（B）

(E) Being a child prodigy, Clara Schumann

这个题目当时有想过选B，后来还是选了D。对这种同位语还不是很熟悉，觉得developed是表达了过去完成的意思，而同位语是表达了当时的状态，那么一个child怎么可以完成developed的动作呢？看来同位语还是可以表达“曾经是”的意思。

1.                                Since 1986 enrollments of African Americans, American Indians, and Hispanic Americans in fulltime engineering programs in the United States has steadily increased, while the number of other students who enter the field has fallen.

(A) has steadily increased, while the number of other students who enter the field has fallen

(B) has steadily increased, while other students entering the field have declined in number

(C) increased steadily, while there was a decline in the number of other students entering the field

(D) have steadily increased, while the number of other students entering the field has fallen（D）

(E) have steadily increased, while that of other students who enter the field fell

这个题目我选了E。这里出现了时态的一致问题。照理说，前面有since，后面应该用完成时态，但是我以为while后面就可以表达不同的时态了。D我是看到entering就觉得不对，为什么这里用的是现在分词呢？后来看看，觉得是ing分词修饰students而已（表示持续的动作？），主考点还是while后面的时态要和前面的时态保持一致。

谢谢携隐jj，我当时候选的是B阿，但是我看你的gwd分类里面这道题你是选的C，搞得我很不明白，所以才问你
