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:
Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept through history, maybe none is more concentrated as the wave that brought 12 million immigrants onto American shores in little more than three decades.
(A) maybe none is more concentrated as
(B) it may be that none is more concentrated as
(C) perhaps it is none that is more concentrated than
(D) maybe it is none that was more concentrated than
(E) perhaps none was more concentrated than
选项分析:
(A)maybe none is more concentrated as
【错误】 比较结构:GMAT语法中,比较句式使用“more……than……”或“as……as……”而“more……as……”用作两个对象的比较属于句式杂糅。
(B)it may be that none is more concentrated as
【错误1】 比较结构:见(A)。
【错误2】 修饰成分:“Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept through history”是一个修饰语,其大意为“在所有大型迁徙潮之中……”,这一结构修饰“none”这一名词结构。GMAT语法中,名词的修饰语(即定语)与所修饰名词应尽量就近,因此本选项逊于(E)。
(C)perhaps it is none that is more concentrated than
【错误】 修饰成分:见(B)中【错误2】
(D)maybe it is none that was more concentrated than
【错误1】 修饰成分:见(B)中【错误2】。
动词时态:本选项使用了强调句结构“it is……that……”然而该结构与其连接的“was more concentrated”时态存在差异,这种是时态差异不存在合理解释。
【错误2】 简洁明了:主动句和陈述句的简洁性优于特殊句式,如倒装句、强调句、被动句等。
(E)perhaps none was more concentrated than
【正确】 “Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept through history”正确地修饰了“none”。
【大意】 在所有横扫历史的大迁徙中,没有一个比30年内1200万移民登陆美国更加密集的了。
解题思路:
比较结构中“more”和“as”共同连接比较对象,立即排除(A)和(B)。
定语要尽量保持就近修饰,避免跳跃修饰,排除(C)和(D)。
因此选择(E)。
