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:
Along the major rivers that traverse the deserts of northeast Africa, the middle East, and northwest India, the combination of a reliable supply of water and good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endure in at least 6,000 years.
(A) good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endure in
(B) good growing conditions encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, endured for
(C) of good growing conditions have encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endured for
(D) of good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, endured
(E) of good growing conditions encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, been enduring for
选项分析:
(A)good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endure in
【错误1】 动词时态:“endure”是一般现在时,而“encouraged”是一般过去时,这一时态差异不存在合理解释(在过去无法鼓励一个“一般地或现在持续”的“传统”)。
【错误2】 固定搭配:“endure in”无法表示“持续多长时间”的含义。
【错误3】 简洁明了:“combination”本身已经表达了“both”的含义,因此与“both”语义重复。
(B)good growing conditions encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, endured for
【正确】 “a reliable supply of water”和“good growing conditions”用“and”连接平行在主语“the combination of”之后,“encouraged”是主语的谓语动词。
【大意】 可靠的供水与良好的种植环境的结合鼓励产生了已经持续超过6000年的耕作传统。
(C)of good growing conditions have encouraged farming traditions that, in places, endured for
【错误】 主谓一致:“have encouraged”的主语是“the combination of……”核心词是抽象名词“combination”,应接单数谓语动词,因此主谓不一致。
(D)of good growing conditions both encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, endured
【错误】 简洁明了:见(A)中【错误3】。
(E)of good growing conditions encouraged farming traditions that have, in places, been enduring for
【错误】 动词时态:“have been enduring”是现在完成进行时时,而“encouraged”是一般过去时,这一时态差异不存在合理解释(在过去无法鼓励一个“到现在还在持续”的“传统”)。
解题思路:
(C)中主谓不一致,立即排除。
(A)和(E)“endure”的时态不合理,排除。
(D)中“both”和“combination”搭配语义重复。因此选择(B)。
