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。

  105. Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

  (A) Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is

  (B) Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is

  (C) Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become

  (D) Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become

  (E) Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,

  答案解析如下:

  (A)Marconi's conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is

  【错误】 简洁明了:在GMAT语法题中表达同一个意思时,简洁性从高到低依次为动词、形容词和副词、一般名词、动名词(简称VANing原则:V——verb,A——adj.或adv.,N——noun,ing——动名词),因此本选项简洁性逊于使用动词“conceived”的(C)。

  (B)Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is

  【错误】 平行结构:“but”两边应连接平行结构(语法功能一致,逻辑含义对等),但本选项中“which is……”和主句语法功能不一致,无法用“but”平行。

  (C)Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become

  【正确】 正确使用了“conceived of sth. as”的搭配,表达了“把……设想为……”的含义。“it”本意上指代“radio”,但实际上指代关系并不明确,但由于其他选项存在更严重的语法问题,我们只能接受这个存在指代不明的选项——在GMAT考察的标准书面语中,仅当存在其他选项能够合理避免指代不明,且不出现其他语法语义问题时,我们才会认定一个选项的指代不明问题是可以作为排除选项依据的错误。

  【大意】 Marconi把收音机设想为一种能够替代电话的私人对话工;相反地,收音机已经成为截然相反的东西,一种向大量听众传递信息的工具。

  (D)Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become

  【错误】 固定搭配:“conceived of”不与“to be”搭配使用表达“把……看作……”的含义。

  (E)Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,

  【错误】 固定搭配:见(D)。

  【最优解题思路推荐】

  (B)中“but”两边不平行,立即排除。

  即便不知道“conceive sth. as”的搭配,通过语义分析可知(C)中“conceive”接“as(作为)”表意优于(D)、(E)中“conceive”接“to be(会是)”,排除(D)、(E)。

  (C)比(A)更加简洁,因此选择(C)。

  需要说明的是,C中的“it”指代并不是十分明确,但指代不明的问题属于相对错误,如果五个选项中不存在能够合理规避指代不明问题的选项,那么我们只能接受有轻微指代不明,没有其他错误的选项。

  以上就是关于GMAT语法题的相关内容介绍,希望大家能够了解。多多备考了解GMAT相关信息,争取做到万无一失。更多关于GMAT语法例题解析的介绍小编会为大家呈现。最后祝大家顺利备考GMAT考试,早日梦圆名校。
