GMAT 考試和雅思托福語(yǔ)言類英文測(cè)試不一樣,它是商科思維類測(cè)試,注重的更多的是邏輯思維的訓(xùn)練。那在GMAT語(yǔ)文部分的句子改錯(cuò)版塊,也不僅僅是考察英文語(yǔ)法,更多的是考察考生如果作為一個(gè)管理者,是否具備良好的溝通能力和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的書面化英文的表達(dá)能力。所以SC版塊就顯得較為重要了。
在 GMAT-SC 考點(diǎn)中,考生們更關(guān)注和更不易理解的是比較考點(diǎn)??陀^來(lái)講,并不是說(shuō)比較考點(diǎn)難,SC比較考點(diǎn)本身理解起來(lái)不是特別難,但由于夾雜了一些修飾成分和措辭表達(dá),會(huì)讓考生感覺不知道比什么,修飾部分也很雜亂。其實(shí)不然,只要在理解什么是SC比較考點(diǎn)里比較對(duì)象這一概念和掌握三層核心比較重點(diǎn)之上,再進(jìn)階,相信大家是沒有問(wèn)題的。僅以此篇文章和大家分享兩道官方題 目里涉及比較的題目,希望能夠?qū)Υ蠹以谧鲱}思維上有所啟發(fā)。
例題一
Like ancient Egyptian architectural materials that were recycled in the construction of ancient Greek Alexandria, so ancient Greek materials from the construction of that city were reused in subsequent centuries by Roman, Muslim, and modern builders.
(A).Like ancient Egyptian architectural materials that were recycled in the construction of
(B).Like recycling ancient Egyptian architectural materials to construct
(C).Just as ancient Egyptian architectural materials were recycled in the construction of
(D).Just as they recycled ancient Egyptian architectural materials in constructing
(E).Just like ancient Egyptian architectural materials that were recycled in constructing
分析總結(jié)
點(diǎn)撥:首先like和unlike的比較對(duì)象是其后名詞和主句主語(yǔ)比, 必須具有可比性,且是比名詞。所以原文 like后面的materials和未劃線的so ancient Greek materials were reused 是不可比的。未劃線so后這一節(jié)比的是動(dòng)作,但是like/unlike后應(yīng)該比名詞。所以原文不對(duì)。
其次,B選項(xiàng)里recycling ancient Egyptian architectural materials和未劃線的ancient Egyptian architectural materials也是不可比的,仍然不符合like/unlike 的比較規(guī)則。
看到C我們清晰了,這也是課上重點(diǎn)講到的關(guān)于as這個(gè)詞的比較規(guī)則:(Just) as a does sth , so does B/so B does.把 just 括起來(lái)的原因就是有沒有 just 不影響as的比較規(guī)則,就像like一樣,just like,重點(diǎn)也應(yīng)該是在like上。
且C是兩件事情與事情之間的比較,were recycled 和未劃線的 were reused 也是對(duì)應(yīng)的。意為就像古埃及的建筑材料 在建筑中被回收一樣古希臘亞歷山大,因此,在隨后的幾個(gè)世紀(jì)里, 羅馬、穆斯林和現(xiàn)代建設(shè)者重新使用了該城市建筑中的古希臘材料。邏輯清晰,語(yǔ)義明確。
D選項(xiàng)里代詞 they 指代不明,仍然和未劃線的內(nèi)容不可比,我們說(shuō)多個(gè)代詞多個(gè)鬼,看到代詞第一大方向是不會(huì)有好感,放在主語(yǔ)的位置更要敏感,會(huì)有無(wú)指代和指代不明確的嫌疑。C不是最優(yōu)且對(duì)象不可比。SC題目選最優(yōu)選,CR選最增強(qiáng)最削弱,要謹(jǐn)記。
E選項(xiàng)綜上,同理排除,且like和未劃線so完全是兩家人不可比。
總結(jié):所以此題大家要分清楚like和as的比較原則,且事件于事件之間對(duì)比,be動(dòng)詞和be動(dòng)詞對(duì)應(yīng),肯定是語(yǔ)義更完整的表達(dá)和對(duì)比。
例題二
Financial uncertainties from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove even more deterring to the nuclear industry than political opposition is.
(A).from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove even more deterring to the nuclear industry than political opposition is
(B).from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove to be even more serious a deterrent to the nuclear industry than political opposition
(C).from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove to be an even more serious deterrent to the nuclear industry than political opposition
(D).resulting from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove to be an even more serious deterrent to the nuclear industry than is political opposition
(E).resulting from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove even more deterring to the nuclear industry than political opposition
分析總結(jié)
點(diǎn)撥:此題重點(diǎn)在于than后面的is非常必要,因?yàn)槭且怀鲐?cái)務(wù)的不確定性對(duì)核工業(yè)的威懾作用比政治反對(duì)派(的威懾作用)更嚴(yán)重。所以正確選項(xiàng)D里的is在這里對(duì)應(yīng)了前面的 be an even more serious deterrent,語(yǔ)義表達(dá)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),對(duì)仗更工整,和上一例題有相似之處。
而原文than后面的is和前面沒有概念對(duì)應(yīng),前面只有 動(dòng)詞的prove且deterring是動(dòng)詞(或分詞形式),這里有自己名詞形式用自己名詞形式,用deterrent即可。B和E都是缺少is這層含義。
總結(jié):所以此題屬于原文邏輯有問(wèn)題,可以重新在 BCDE 里找出正確的句子關(guān)系。關(guān)于語(yǔ)法層面的措辭不用糾結(jié)是 from 引導(dǎo) 的介詞短語(yǔ)定語(yǔ)后置修飾 Financial uncertainties 還是分詞短語(yǔ) resulting from the accident定語(yǔ)后置修飾Financial uncertainties, 意思上都能理解的,只不過(guò)說(shuō) resulting from the accident 修飾財(cái) 政不確定性語(yǔ)義更清晰,比直接 from accident 更流暢。
綜上,希望大家對(duì)SC里比較題目的比較規(guī)則有所感悟,在做題步驟清晰和原文邏輯判斷清楚的前提下,結(jié)合該考點(diǎn)自身特點(diǎn)和規(guī)則,看語(yǔ)義,語(yǔ)義為王。
