在GMAT语法考试中,主谓一致基本在每个试题中都会出现,判断主谓一致还能为分析好句子结构有帮助。本文就给大家介绍下GMAT句子改错之主谓一致的考试内容。 我们常说谓语划线找主语,主谓一致看状语。那么打底是怎么判断主谓一致呢?本文就给大家介绍下GMAT语法主谓一致真题解析,由于文章篇幅较多,我们接着介绍第四部分。
例7:
The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.
A include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is
B include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and
C include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being
D includes the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
E includes the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is
分析:the 32 species是主语,是可数名词的复数形式, that make up the dolphin family是一个定语从句,that充当主语,指代32 species,谓语是 are related and include,两个谓语都是复数形式,没问题,那么我们看一下五个选项的差异,其中D和E使用的是includes 排除。那么就剩下AB和C.这里涉及一个知识点叫做非谓语动词做修饰语的成分,我们来看一下B和C,用的是growing。既然doing前面是一个完整的句子,而且还有逗号,那么这个doing结构只能有两种解释,第一种做的是整个句子的结果状语或者是目的状语,第二种解释就是
用作定语修饰的是主语,很明显这个growing想修饰的其实是就近的killer whale,那么去掉逗号就可以修饰killer whale了。这样BC就排除了。
正确句子:
The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.
验证:
The 32 species 是句子主语,that make up the dolphin family是一个定语从句修饰的是species ,谓语是 are related and include,宾语是the animal,known as是动词的ed分词形式作定语修饰就近名词 animal,which前面有逗号的话,引导的应该是非限定性定语从句,只不过在GMAT考试当中,which前面有逗号的话which只能指代逗号前面的就近名词killer whale,,而不是像高中时期学习的整个句子, can grow 是谓语动词1,and后面又跟了一个is famous for 谓语动词2.所以and并列的是谓语动词。
例8: The first trenches that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.
A that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but
B that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously with but also
C having been cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously but
D cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence of centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arising simultaneously but also
E cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but
分析:The first trenches是句子主语,that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria是定语从句,修饰的是 trenches, have yielded 是谓语动词,跟主语单复数一致,所以正确。我们先看一下五个选项的区别。主语是trenches可数名词复数形式,那么谓语是单数形式的都一律排除,所以BD排除。剩下ACE再继续比较。因为句子使用了in what is now ,所以划线部分的时态应该是现在时态,那么A和C的were的使用时错误的。所以就只剩下E了。
正确句子:
The first trenches cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.
验证:
The first trenches 主语,have yielded谓语动词,evidence 是宾语,后面是that引导的同位语从句,从句主语是 societies ,arose是谓语。
例9: Fossils of the arm of a sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991. and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of the Greater Antilles Islands.
A sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of
B sloth, that they found in Puerto Rico in 1991, has been dated at 34 million years old, thus making it the earliest mammal known on
C sloth that was found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old, making this the earliest known mammal of
D sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on
E sloth which, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old, made the sloth the earliest known mammal of
分析:
Fossils是主语, found and dated 是动词的ed分词形式做的是定语修饰就近名词sloth ,谓语就是made,make本来就有一种用法就是make it 形容词 to do something,it是形式宾语,然后分析五个选项的差异。因为主语是Fossils,所以谓语一定要是复数形式才可以,所以可以排除BCE.没有体现出主谓一致的单复数。剩下A和D,it的使用时正确的,因为想指代的是sloth,但是它是指代不了的,因为sloth在句子当中充当的是定语,并不是句子的主语或者是宾语,而it充当的是宾格,所以排除A。
正确句子:
Fossils of the arm of a sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on the Greater Antilles Islands.
验证:
Fossils是主语,谓语是have been dated,满足主谓一致,making 是动词doing结构,前面有逗号,所以有两种理解,一种是整个句子的结果状语,另外一个是主语的伴随状语,所以这里making是前面整个句子的结果状语。
