GMAT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,想要做好句子改错题难度极高。如何提升GMAT句子改错题的解题能力?下面小编就为大家整理了一些经典例题,结合实例分析为大家讲解GMAT句子改错题的解题思路和方法技巧。
实例题目:
Joan of Arc, a young Frenchwoman who claimed to be divinely inspired, turned the tide of English victories in her country by liberating the city of Orléans and she persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne.
(A) she persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne
(B) persuaded Charles VII of France in claiming his throne
(C) persuading that the throne be claimed by Charles VII of France
(D) persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne
(E) persuading that Charles VII of France should claim the throne
选项分析:
(A)she persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne
【错误】 平行结构:和(D)相比,“she”是多余的,用“and”将“persuaded”和“turned”平行在一起即可。
(B)persuaded Charles VII of France in claiming his throne
【错误】 固定搭配:不存在“persuade sb. in doing sth.”表达“说服某人做某事”的用法,正确搭配可以为“persuade sb. into doing sth.”或“persuade sb. to do sth.”。
(C)persuading that the throne be claimed by Charles VII of France
【错误】 固定搭配:不存在“persuading that + 主谓结构”表达说服某人做某事的用法,因为“that”引导的从句不能做“说服”的宾语。
(D)persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne
【正确】 正确使用了“persuade sb. to do sth.”的固定搭配。
【大意】 圣女贞德,一个声称受到天启的法国少女,通过借方奥尔良扭转了英国人在她祖国上的胜局,并说服法国查理七世登基。
(E)persuading that Charles VII of France should claim the throne
【错误】 见(C)。
解题思路:
本题需要根据“persuade”的用法排除(B)、(C)、(E)。
(A)和(D)相比,(D)的平行结构更加合理,因此选择(D)。
