相干保举

2015年11月20日GMAT语法机经

　　第一局部：Q110

　　V1：有道题选项别离有 continuing continual continually continuous 狗主蒙了……

　　【保举相干常识点】

　　continuous, continual, continuing 词义及用法

　　continuous 持续不时的(夸大一个举措不中断过)

　　做表语和定语 be continious或continious+名词

　　continual 频频的，频仍的(夸大一个举措在某个期间频频呈现)

　　只做定语 continual+名词

　　continuing 持续不时的,持续稳定的

　　可是只能用于名词前

　　V2：continual，continually，continous

　　有个选项仿佛是continually evolving century, 其余的感受都错误

　　第二局部：Q111

　　"Unlike B, A form when rising sea level by melting xxx" other options are

　　"Unlike B, A form by melting xxx from rising sea level"

　　"Unlike B, A form from melting xxx by rising sea level"

　　"Unlike B, the rising sea level...." ( we all know this is incorrect)

　　【保举相干常识点】

　　I have the feeling this question tests causal links btw rising sea level, melting xxx and A form, and the difference btw by and from. In terms of logic sequence, A form is caused by rising sea level not melting xxx; rising sea level is a result of melting xxx. Therefore the one put rising sea level preceding melting xxx and after A form follows the sequence before. BUT construction with when followed by a ving is still questionable. I know while can be followed by a ving or Ved, but not sure when can do this.

　　另有一道题到此刻也不必定，就说x这些工具， including a,b,c, have...... c和have之间不逗号行不行

　　考了opened people’s eyes how...is的阿谁，可是很好选…没甚么很利诱的…由于其余开首太奇异

　　有一题because ofxxxx，AB不选，because of后面跟超大坨，用because it，后面仿佛是看语句简练仍是啥的，有一个withxxx，阿谁不要选

　　考了同位语，忘了句子甚么意义，便是后面阿谁工具要做一个零丁句子，而后用逗号and毗连后面，不而后面就fragment，装得跟同位语一样A选项，其实不是…

　　有一题考了时态，曩昔时，不要用此刻时….

　　有那种连着两个润色的考点，两个连着的润色歧义，而后另有which/it不能指代后面全部环境的考点，详细标题问题真的健忘了…

　　考了一个很tricky的either or..要看清晰，跟那里平行，记得是两个句子平行，而不是小词平行

　　第三局部：Q112

　　so as to

　　【保举相干常识点】

　　...So as to...

　　manhattan不...so as to...的list举例

　　看看Ron大神在manhattan服装服装论坛t.vhao.nett.vhao.net上的讲授：

　　- i don't think that gmac likes it very much -- i've never seen it in an officially correct answer.

　　- "...so as to..." used to describe indirect intentions.

　　e.g.

　　Joe bought a gym membership so as to become more attractive to women. (the act of buying a gym membership itself is not going to make joe instantly more attractive to women (women do not swoon over a man's gym membership card). instead, there are plenty of implied intermediate steps between “by a gym membership” and “be more attractive“; the use of “so as to” implies that there are such intermediate steps in the process. (不过话说返来，这个区分其实是太小了，这算是说话上的艺术，Ron说GMAT必定不会在这个下面出文章的.)

　　- "....so as to...." there should be no change of subject, and so there's an implication that the subject is the same as the subject of the previous clause/action.

　　e.g.

　　Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers to provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newborn children. (the only subjects of actions in the previous clauses are "congress" and "certain employers". therefore, the sentence is implying that one of these two entities is actually going to care for sick or newborn children! That does not make sense!)

　　【保举相干常识点】

　　so... as to...

　　manhattan中对于so...as to...的用法举例：

　　SUSPECT: The sauce was SO hot AS TO burn my mouth.

　　Note: The GMAT seems to have changed its mind on this idiom. In the 10th Edition of the Official Guide, problem #88 uses the construction in the correct answer. However, #37 in the 12th Edition says that this idiom is "incorrect" with no further explanation. Other authorities consider this idiom correct, and we agree. Nevertheless, you should be wary of its use.

　　Wrong: The saucehad SUCH heat AS TO burn my mouth.

　　The saucehad SO MUCH heat AS TO burn my mouth.

　　看看Ron大神在manhattan服装服装论坛t.vhao.nett.vhao.net上的讲授：

　　- "so...as to..." in general, you don't use so ADJ as to VERB unless the VERB describes some sort of state/condition. (i.e., if the verb is an action verb, this construction generally isn't used.)

　　e.g.

　　I am so ugly as to be viscerally repulsive to women. --> this works, because the verb“to be" describes a state/condition.

　　I am so ugly as to repel women on sight. --> you generally wouldn't see this in good writing, as "repel" is an action verb; the sentence would probably be written as I am so ugly that I repel women on sight.
