DAY4 早上在武汉磅礴气势的雷雨天里模考了GWD13 sc和rc一炮双响各错4题,rc更是分布均匀地一篇错一题……
sc怎么会错这么多?!不可理喻地去看错题和作总结!!
回顾:
Several financial officers of the companyspoke on condition that they not benamed in the press reports. A. that they not be named B. that their names will not be used C. that their names are not used D. of not having their names E. of not naming them
A. On condition that = if, 是一种不确定的情况进行假设,所以应该用条件式。鉴于条件句的主句用的是一般过去时,所以这里要用be named。而不能用are not used,will not used(B、C),这样会造成时态紊乱。
beatgmat解释:
Read the following sentences from washingtontimes:
"Rewards for those who supported the president's 2008 campaign have been doled out in less formal ways. Two top bundlers, for instance, described invitations to bring their families to the private bowling alley at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House. Both spoke on the condition they not be named because they did not want to damage their relationship with the White House."
This is definitely a case of the command present subjunctive mood. There is no doubt about that.
The condition that the senor officials imposed was the mandating that the command subjunctive requires.
Secondly, it completes the command in a subordinate clause introduced by the customary subordinate connector ‘that’ and
thirdly the verb is in the imperative form i.e., ‘not be named’. What more is required?
要熟悉这样的subjunctive用法,关于condition的。
T-9-Q29. 987-637Several studies have found that the coronary patients who exercisemost actively have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heartattack as those who are sedentary. A. have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack asthose who are sedentary B. have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than thosewho 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 asthose who are sedentary E. are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentaryto die of a heart attack key:E
第一次做的时候错选了B,重读就发现错了。
这里真正要比较的是两类patients运动情况的不同对die的chance大小,核心在chance的大小
B变成了patients的比较,而不是chance大小
E则正确突出了是这个chance的可能性大小问题
T-9-Q39. 987-675 Studies show that young people with higher-than-average bloodpressure and their families have a history of high blood pressureare more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition. A. and their families have a history of high blood pressure B. whose families have a history of high blood pressure C. and a history of high blood pressure runs in the family D. whose families have a history of high blood pressure running in them E. with a history of high blood pressure running in their family key:b
第一次错选了e,重读就发现该选b
e的问题:with。。。with。。结构肯定有误,ambiguous!
分析原句,their families是一个非常好的hint,当用and连接的后面内容跟前面内容在宾语或所有格形式有联系的时候,往往and连接反而累赘(后附另一题的例证!)
不如直接用whose形式简洁。当时不能确认是因为whose修饰对象是yount people在核心词前面的位置,紧跟的是blood pressure,怕歧义。
由此可见,围绕核心词的跳跃修饰是可以被理解和允许使用的。
例证题:
1、原句:By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.
正确句:By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, earned at a time when aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were of dangerously experimental design.
原句句势是交代了本句要讲清楚2层意思:J有records,这些records在很不容易的条件下拿到的。===》句势交代了关联点在于records。(原句的them提示了两个分句之间的hint关系)
再来看看今天错了哪个cr:那个经典的lyme larval,真是从开始复习g就在错,今天要彻底弄懂。
T-9-Q28.
天山-7-13
[size=1em]Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium transmitted to humans by deer ticks. Generally deer ticks pick up the bacterium while in the larval stage from feeding on infected white-footed mice. However, certain other species on which the larvae feed do not harbor the bacterium. Therefore, if the population of these other species were increased, the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium and hence the number of people contracting Lyme disease would likely decline.
[size=1em]Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
[size=1em]
[size=1em]A. Ticks do not suffer any adverse consequences from carrying the bacterium that causes Lyme disease in humans.
[size=1em]B. There are no known cases of a human’s contracting Lyme disease through contact with white-footed mice.
[size=1em]C. A deer tick feeds only once while in the larval stage.
[size=1em]D. A single host animal can be the source of bacterium for many tick larvae.
[size=1em]E. None of the other species on which deer tick larvae feed harbor other bacteria that ticks transmit to humans | dt是larval阶段时,吃infected的小白鼠 → 会pick up 到bacterium; 吃other species → 不会寄宿到bacterium
增大other species→dt携菌的no下降,人们患病量也下降
(其实我读完第一反应这是一个相对比例的问题,增大other species的绝对值的量不一定能affect 现有的吃mice情况)
看题:问support====》增大other一定能让dt携菌下降;或者携菌不下降的情况不存在
A:adverse consequence不影响
B:人和mice之间,不影响dt的情况
C:注意once的理解,我已开始就把once当做if了。其实就是一次的意思。也就是dt在larval阶段只feed一次。如果能反复多次feed,那么增大与否others的量,现有的mice都是够用了,所以无法达到目的。bingo。
D:weaken
E:other bacteria,不涉及。
理解句意是王道,哪怕看懂了逻辑链。once表达if的含义是做连词,后面必须跟句子,while这里就不对了。所以once在这里做adv,一次,修饰feed。
cr是考sc,sc 是考cr……
下午分析下月度,然后写作文作文了!晚上做完寂静后面的题。
rc:阅读4题中,1题是细节题忽略了正上文的hint。——rc里面的cr题,其实不会很难,不需要特别天马行空猜答案,一定是结合上下文有的hint直接了当去反驳它。gmac也是为了自己的答案能够correct会这么设置正确选项的。
剩下3题,有2题都是对态度词和起承转合没把握住细节,多练多冷静判断。
最后1题就是句意理解的偏差——
distract (someone’s) attention from something phrase 把sb在sth上的注意力分散掉。from后面跟的是对象
to do something in order to stop someone from paying attention to something
They tried to distract attention from the crisis.
原文的句子:
Focusing exclusively on ecoefficiency, which offers a compellingbusiness case according to established thinking, may distract companies frompursuing radically different products and business models. 这句话是肯定exclusively on eco-e的:focusing exclusively on eco-e may distract sb from pursuing。。
高度专注于eco-e,能让公司分散掉原本只radically pursuing p和m的注意力。
这题答案的改写:
- neglect the development of alternative business models and products 忽略了放在别的b和p上的注意力
