GMAT语法题,又称句子改错题(sentence correction),是整个GMAT考试中对考生英语语法能力考查要求最高的题型,也往往是中国学生最为头疼的一类题目。没有扎实的语法基础和一定的逻辑分析能力,想要做好语法题难度极高。怎样做好GMAT语法题?下面小编就通过一些经典真题的实例解析,为大家全面讲解GMAT语法题的解题思路和方法技巧。
实例题目:
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
(B) Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber
(C) Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886 and outnumbering
(D) Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and 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
选项分析:
(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
【错误1】 修饰成分:非谓语动词“outnumbering”在本选项中作状语(动词的修饰语),其逻辑主语为“Emily Dickinson's letters”,与所修饰动词“were written”的主语相同,这意味着“outnumbering”是动词“were written”的伴随状语,根据与法要求,“doing”应伴随所修饰动词同时发生且同(逻辑)主语。有日常逻辑可知,本题中“outnumbering”(“数量超过”)不应伴随“信件背写”之一动作同时发生,因此修饰关系不合理。
【错误2】 句子意思:由日常逻辑可知,本句的句意重心更应该是“outnumbering”(“数量超过”),如(E),而非“were written”,因此“outnumbering”作修饰语表意逊于(E)。
(B)Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ended shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumber
【错误】 句子结构:“were written”和“outnumber”均为“Emily Dickinson's letters”的谓语动词,而两只之间不存在任何连接词,如“and”、“or”或“but”等,主谓结构组合方式有误。
(C)Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and that ends shortly before Emily's death in 1886 and outnumbering
【错误】 句子结构:“written”和“outnumbering”均无法成为“Emily Dickinson's letters”的谓语动词,于是“Emily Dickinson's letters”失去谓语,主谓结构不完整。
(D)Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother, ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, and outnumbering
【错误1】 句子结构:“were written”是“which”引导的定语从句中的谓语动词,而主句中“Emily Dickinson's letters” 失去谓语,主谓结构不完整。
【错误2】 平行结构:“and outnumbering”无法和任何结构搭配形成平行结构。
(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
【正确】 “beginning”和“ending”正确地平行在了一起,“outnumber” 是“Emily Dickinson's letters”的谓语动词,两者构成了主句的主谓结构。
【大意】 Emily Dickinson给Susan Huntington Dickinson的信被写于从Susan嫁给Emily的弟弟后不久到Emily去世前不久,数量上超过了她写给其他任何人的信。
解题思路:
(B)、(C)和(D)句子结构有问题,立即排除。
(A)和(E)对比发现“outnumbering”作伴随修饰不合理。
因此选择(E)。
