CORRECTIVENESS
I.Logical Fallacies
“Shanghai is bigger than any cities in China.” is mistaken because Shanghai cannot be larger than any cities that inclusive of itself. So it should be “Shanghai is bigger than any other cities in China.”
Blind eyesight; visible wavelength1 are logically flawed arrangement; it should be “blind people”, “visible radiation” instead.
Price cannot cause inflation but Price Increase can.
前后转折关系是否成立要看前后的分类标准是否统一:big measurement →small measurement
III.主谓搭配和代词指代
出现句首名词+长串修饰考主谓搭配的可能性很大;
在英文中永远只有主谓搭配,同位语对谓语动词单复数没有影响
Five hundred students each have a computer.
Each of five hundred students have a computer.
Leaf and *** material, the most *** parts, Vt.s
Five hundred students, groups each have a computer.
倒装句
a.介词在句首,b.状语+句子谓语动词+主语
c.极端形容词或So放在句首
Never, Whether, What, Should 在一个完整句子做整个句子的主语,谓语动作用单数
代词指代,同样一句话中相同的代词指代相同的事物:they, them, their 在一句话中必须指代同一主体
推论:It 在句首做形式主语,后面it不能指代同一主体。如果出现这样的选项,一定错!
Exoneration and his freedom例题:泛指和特指不能对称;代词是个特指概念,不能随意丢失,否则句子意思发生变化。
8GMAT中所有代词都不用来指代整个句子,只能是特定的名词或主体。但是当it在句首做形式主语时,可以指代:-
1.后面的不2.定式
3.后面的that从句,4.如:It is you who is my friend that…
IV.固定搭配的错误
require somebody to do something
that + 虚拟语气省略should
of somebody that +虚拟语气省略should
as 的固定搭配
begin as, depict2 as, regard as, perceive as, represent as, see as, be prizeless as, be acclaimed3 as, think of as, be seem as
to be: consider something something
help
a)help somebody to do something
b)help something
c)helpful in doing
at point; at pole; at equator; aim at doing something
forbid somebody to do something; forbid something
prohibit somebody from doing something; prohibit something
compare A to B
compare A with B 事物比较)
in that 标准书面英语,汉译为“原因体现在”

V.连接词连接两个部分的对称性问题
and 在画线部分中或画线部分的前面,and是一个解题点。
形式上对称:名词对名词;分词对分词
强调含义上的对称:duty assignment 对应 the staffing of people
平行对称结构:多个小分句之间要平行对称,在最后一个分句前补出and
难点:A) 在肯定句时,补and;在否定时,补nor
英语否定句的定义:句子出现no, not时
“Never… …”是肯定句,表示否定的含义
B) 非平行结构的误导题
当前后两个问题对称时,后半句的be动词可能被省略,如to do and do something, to可以省略
如果发现一个选项有意省略 ‘to’或被动词时,则很有可能是正确答案
对称结构的常考连词:
butor
either…or…not only…but also…
neither…nor…not…but…
from…to……as well as…
as…as……rather than…(如果前面有不定式的话,后面不定
式往往被
