信息来源:网络  发布时间:2015-05-12

  GMAT语法改错的难度一方面来自题干,另一方面来自选项,因为我们要依靠选项之间的差别来获得信息、寻求提示,其实这就反映了GMAT语法改错答案的特点--永远只有相对正确而不存在绝对正确。接下来小编就给大家介绍一下GMAT语法题,希望对大家备考GMAT语法考试有帮助。

  102. Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world’s social wasps, wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile female workers.

  (A) wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of

  (B) wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of

  (C) which means they live in a highly cooperative and organized society, almost all

  (D) which means that their society is highly cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely

  (E) living in a society that is highly cooperative, organized, and it consists of almost all

  答案解析如下:

  (A)wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of

  【错误】 句子意思:根据日常逻辑“consist”合理的主语应为“society”,表意为“黄蜂社会主要有雌蜂组成”。但“they consist almost entirely of females”中“they”无法指代“society”,只能指代“wasps(黄蜂)”,但“黄蜂”并不是由“雌蜂”组成的——“黄蜂”(即使是复数)只能由黄蜂头、黄蜂腹部、黄蜂翅膀等“组成”,不能由雌蜂“组成”。

  (B)wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of

  【正确】 “that”引导的定语从句修饰了“wasps”,而这个“wasps”又进一步作同位语修饰“the world's social wasps”,修饰关系明确合理。

  【大意】 小黄蜂名列世界900多种社会性黄蜂,生活在一个高度合作的、有组织的主要由雌性——蜂后和不育的雌工蜂组成的社会中的黄蜂。

  (C)which means they live in a highly cooperative and organized society, almost all

  【错误1】 修饰成分:从句“which means……”本意想修饰“Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world's social wasps”整个主谓结构。但在GMAT考察的标准书面英语中,“which”只能引导修饰某个名词性结构的定语从句,而不能修饰整个主谓结构。

  【错误2】 修饰成分:“almost all females”是一个名词性结构,但并不是主谓结构的一部分,因此只能是一个修饰语,但其修饰对象并不明确,是一个孤立的名词性结构。

  (D)which means that their society is highly cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely

  【错误1】 修饰成分:见(C)中“修饰成分”第一项。

  【错误2】 句子意思:“it is almost entirely females”中“it”指代“society”,但“社会”无法是“雌蜂”,而只能是“雌蜂的社会(society of females)”,因此表意不合理。

  (E)living in a society that is highly cooperative, organized, and it consists of almost all

  【错误】 平行结构:“it consists of almost all females”并不应是一个和主句之间用“and”连接的平行对象,因为它与主句含义并不对等,实际上,其表述的内容应作为与“cooperative, organized”平行,共同修饰“society”的修饰成分。

  【最优解题思路推荐】

  “which means……”不能修饰整个主谓结构,立即排除(C)、(D)。

  (E)中“and”连接的结构逻辑含义上不对等,排除。

  对比(A)、(B),(A)的表意逊于(B),因此选择(B)。
