  今天澳際小編要為你介紹的是GMAT語法考試中的考查點(diǎn),了解考查點(diǎn)有助于我們更好的進(jìn)行GMAT語法備考,讓自己GMAT語法進(jìn)步的更快,下面就來一起看看吧!

  從“形合”到“意合”——談GMAT語法考試考查著力點(diǎn)

  形合,指通過明顯的字面結(jié)構(gòu)性提示,傳遞句子內(nèi)部的前后和諧關(guān)系。如大家熟悉的平行結(jié)構(gòu)。此類考點(diǎn)在OG11版本出現(xiàn)頗多。其特色是只要抓住這些結(jié)構(gòu),則此題一招用到得到最后答案。然而,廣大考生在借助比較老的練習(xí)材料建立了對(duì)該考點(diǎn)的基本熟悉之后,卻很容易形成思維定式,變成單純追求形式上的和諧,而忽略了邏輯意義上的和諧,即“意合”,落入“形而上”的陷阱。這一思維定式在08年以來的機(jī)考實(shí)戰(zhàn)中,已經(jīng)頻繁被命題者所利用于構(gòu)造題目的強(qiáng)迷惑選項(xiàng)。

  以下對(duì)若干代表性題目做針對(duì)性點(diǎn)評(píng)。

  GMAT語法備考例題(1)GWD題目

  A New York City ordinance of 1897 regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required of cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and it granted pedestrians right-of-way.

  A. regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required of cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and it granted

  B. regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, granting

  C. regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists that they keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and it granted

  D. regulating the use of bicycles, mandating a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, requiring of cyclists that they keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and granted

  E. regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and granted

  答案為E。易見該題意在考查四個(gè)動(dòng)詞regulate、mandate、required、granted的排列問題??忌菀紫热霝橹?,先假設(shè)四個(gè)動(dòng)作是平行的,然后按照這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去尋找答案,最后感到困惑。實(shí)際上,該題最精妙之處,在于四個(gè)動(dòng)作實(shí)際上并不平行。Regulate后面的內(nèi)容是整個(gè)自行車的使用規(guī)則,后面三個(gè)動(dòng)作分別介紹了該規(guī)則的三個(gè)方面。所以,regulate的層次是高于另外三個(gè)動(dòng)詞的。所以E的寫法并沒有使用四個(gè)動(dòng)詞平行的寫法,卻是真正正確的寫法。

  GMAT語法例題(2)見于GWD與PREP08

  Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

  A. Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

  B. Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, they cost less,

  C. Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, in comparison with most sport utility vehicles, and have a lower cost, they

  D. Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

  E. Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles the cost is lower, and they

  在PREP08出來之前,該題答案一直在A和D之間爭(zhēng)議,直到PREP給出正確答案A才中止了爭(zhēng)議。該題精妙之處在于,D選項(xiàng)是命題者故意設(shè)置的“形合”,讓讀者觀感上覺得cost、get、allow、have形成了平行。而感到A選項(xiàng)的第一個(gè)“and”為多余。實(shí)際上,動(dòng)作carry和后面幾個(gè)動(dòng)作并不平行。這個(gè)句子的邏輯關(guān)系是,“Carry”這個(gè)動(dòng)作是沒有參加“compared”的,所以自成一個(gè)層次,而另外四個(gè)動(dòng)詞是“compared”的項(xiàng)目,它們另外組成了一個(gè)四連珠的動(dòng)詞平行結(jié)構(gòu)。故而A中的第一個(gè)“and“恰恰是必要的。

  GMAT語法例題(3)來自Prep08

  A mixture of poems and short fiction, Jean Toomer's Cane has been called one of the three best novels ever written by Black Americans—the others being Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man

  A. Black Americans—the others being Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man

  B. Black Americans—including Native Son by Richard Wright and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

  C. a Black American—including Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man

  D. a Black American—the others being Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man

  E. a Black American—the others being Richard Wright's Native Son and Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man

  此題第一要點(diǎn)在于不糾纏于黑人到底使用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)形式,而是從并列對(duì)象是書而不是人入手,排除之后余下BE,此題另一精妙之處在于如何在BE之間抉擇,謹(jǐn)記避免犯形而上的錯(cuò)誤,簡(jiǎn)單根據(jù)E項(xiàng)有Being就殺之。此類對(duì)思維要求低的排除方法已經(jīng)被證明在現(xiàn)行機(jī)考中越來越不靠譜。實(shí)際上遵循意合的思路容易找到線索。劃線外部使用的作者與書的關(guān)系所有格寫法是‘s,所以與之保持一致,則后面也使用同一個(gè)寫法,故而選擇E。此題并無明顯并列連詞提示考生題中的和諧關(guān)系,是依靠對(duì)句意理解得出。

  GMAT語法例題(4)來自Prep08

  Whereas the honeybee's stinger is heavily barbed and cannot be retracted from the skin, because the yellow jacket has a comparatively smooth stinger, it is therore able to be pulled out and used again.

  A. because the yellow jacket has a comparatively smooth stinger, it is therore able to be pulled out and used

  B. the comparative smoothness of the yellow jacket's stinger allows them to pull it out and then can therore use it

  C. the yellow jacket's stinger is comparatively smooth, and can therore be pulled out and used

  D. in comparison, the yellow jacket's stinger is smooth, and thus able to be pulled out and used

  E. in comparison, the yellow jacket has a smooth stinger, thus allowing it to be pulled out and used

  此題易看出whereas構(gòu)成了前后2句的對(duì)比關(guān)系,一般考生都能借此確定比較對(duì)象是stinger,而排除之后剩下CD,在CD的抉擇中,精妙之處在于C的寫法之中conparatively與前半句的heavily的對(duì)稱,仿佛有對(duì)偶之感。在該題目中設(shè)置這處小提示絕非無意,實(shí)際上在大量PREP08題目中都有這個(gè)現(xiàn)象,即不顯眼的“小對(duì)稱”,使得句子更宛若天成。

  GMAT語法例題(5)來自PREP08

  The organic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign—using Web sites, public meetings, and also mass mailings—that have convinced the Department of Agriculture to change the proposed federal regulations for organically grown food.

  A. using Web sites, public meetings, and also mass mailings—that have convinced

  B. using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings—that has convinced

  C. by using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings—in convincing

  D. by the use of Web sites, public meetings, as well as mass mailings—that convinced

  E. which used Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings—in convincing

  此題是意合的又一經(jīng)典。其線索在于劃線外successful一詞,暗示了劃線內(nèi)時(shí)態(tài)的完成態(tài),構(gòu)成了美麗的“意合”。再由主謂一致可直接確定B答案。在GWD中,還有劃線外動(dòng)詞使用predict、propose等,暗示劃線內(nèi)使用將來時(shí)態(tài)的例子。說明命題者絕非偶爾為之。
