GMAT（VERBAL）語法改錯模擬試卷4（共220題）

GMAT（VERBAL）語法改錯模擬試卷4（共9套）（共220題）GMAT（VERBAL）語法改錯模擬試卷第1套一、邏輯推理(本題共25題，每題1.0分，共25分。)1、Europe’stravelindustryissufferingasaresultofasluggisheconomy,astretchofbadweather,aswellasthechillingeffectsofterroristactivitythatispersistent.A、aswellasthechillingeffectsofterroristactivitythatispersistentB、andthechillingeffectofterroristactivitythatispersistentC、butpersistentterroristactivityhashadachillingeffecttooD、andthechillingeffectsofpersistentterroristactivityE、aswellasthechillingeffectsofterroristactivitythatpersists標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：A、B、E中用that從句來限定terroristsactivity不如用persistentterroristactivity這樣的名詞短語簡潔。C中but改變了句意，同時but之后用句子與前面的名詞短語不能形成平行結(jié)構(gòu)。D用and代替了aswellas，因為用一個詞代替三個詞同樣也是一種簡潔的表達(dá)方式。2、Ifindustrialpollutioncontinuestodepletetheozonelayer,theresultingincreaseinultravioletradiationwillendangerhumanhealth,causingariseintheincidenceofskincancerandeyedisease,andperhapseventhreateningglobalecologicalsystems.A、andperhapseventhreateningB、andmayeventhreatenC、andevenapossiblethreattoD、aswellaspossiblythreateningE、aswellasapossiblethreatto標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：本句考核辨別并列結(jié)構(gòu)的能力，即劃線部分是與前面的哪一部分并列：是與前面的causing分詞短詞并列(如A、D)，是與謂語動詞willendanger并列(如B)，還是與causing的賓語arise并列(如C、E)。假設(shè)A、D的并列方式是對的，則表明“危及人類健康(主句謂語)”這一動作會帶來兩個伴隨結(jié)果：(1)導(dǎo)致皮膚癌及眼病的增加；(2)威脅全球生態(tài)環(huán)境。顯然，第二個結(jié)果及主句這個行為是風(fēng)馬?；ゲ幌嗉暗氖?，句意上理解不通；采用類似辦法，也可推斷出第三種并列方式是錯誤的，從而第二種并列，即B選項正確，說明“紫外線的增加不僅會危及人類健康同時還會威脅全球的生態(tài)環(huán)境”。3、Thegrowingdemandforhousing,trafficcongestion,andlongercommutingtripshasallbuteliminatedthecostadvantageofowningahouseinmanyruralcommunities.A、Thegrowingdemandforhousing,trafficcongestion,andlongercommutingtripshasB、Trafficcongestion,thegrowingdemandforhousing,andlongercommutingtripshasC、Longercommutingtrips,trafficcongestion,andthegrowingdemandforhousinghasD、Trafficcongestion,longercommutingtrips,andthegrowingdemandforhousinghaveE、Thegrowingdemandforhousing,aswellastrafficcongestionandlongercommutingtrips,have標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：B、C中主謂不一致。E同理，aswellas作為插入成分，不影響主語的單、復(fù)數(shù)屬性。A、B錯是由于并列成分中的一個部分——thedemandforhousing中有一個介詞for，可能會產(chǎn)生歧義，誤認(rèn)為不僅housing，而且還包括trafficcongestion，longercommutingtrips均為for的賓語，這樣就明顯改變了句意。而D將并列中的不同部分的順序做了調(diào)整，避免了此誤會(請體會平行結(jié)構(gòu)的第三個特征：意思上不能引起爭議)。值得一提的是，平行結(jié)構(gòu)的表達(dá)中有這樣一條原則：即平行部分的次序按其長短排列，最短的、詞最少的放在最前面；最長的、詞最多的部分放在并列部分的結(jié)尾處。D選項也同時滿足了此要求。本句中allbut可譯為：幾乎，差不多。(可對照：E7—12中：omens，messagesrecededatseancesandsignsfromheaven)4、ArecentNewYorkTimeseditorialcriticizedthecity’selectionboardfor,firstofall,failingtoreplaceoutmodedvotingmachinespronetobreakdowns,andsecondarily,fortheirfailuretoinvestigateallegationsofcorruptioninvolvingboardmembers.A、secondarily,fortheirfailuretoB、secondly,fortheirfailuretoC、secondly,thattheirfailedanddidnotD、second,thattheyfailedtoE、second,forfailingto標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E知識點解析：由未劃線部分的for,firstofall，failingto，決定了劃線部分for之后應(yīng)為failing，而不是其他表達(dá)。此要求，僅E符合。同時需提出的是：secondly或者firstly,thirdly這種用法已很少見了，而代之以first，second，third作副詞放在句首。此點，在寫作時尤其需注意。5、In1978anationalstudyfoundthatnotonlyhadmanycontractorslicensedbyaself-policingprivateguildfailedtopassqualifyingexams,theyinadditionfalsifiedtheirreferences.A、theyinadditionfalsifiedtheirreferencesB、theyhadtheirreferencesfalsifiedinadditionC、buttheyhadalsofalsifiedtheirreferencesD、theyhadalsofalsifiedtheirreferenceE、buttheirreferenceswerefalsifiedaswell標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：本句是notonly…butalso的并列用法，僅C、E符合此結(jié)構(gòu)，但E中用了被動語態(tài)，D用主動語態(tài)，因而排除E。6、Ignoringtheadmonitionsofhisstaff,thechieffinancialofficeracceptedtheadviceoftheconsultingcompanybecausehebelievedthatthestandardizedaccountingprocedureswouldprovenotonlyinexpensivebutreliableindicatorsofeconomicperformance.A、hebelievedthatthestandardizedaccountingprocedureswouldprovenotonlyinexpensivebutB、thestandardizedaccountingprocedureswillprovebothinexpensiveandalsoC、hebelievedthestandardizedaccountingprocedureswouldprovethemselvestobebothinexpensiveandD、hebelievedthatthestandardizedaccountingprocedureswouldprovetobebothinexpensiveandE、standardizedaccountingprocedureswillprovehisbeliefthattheyarebothinexpensiveand標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：B中有兩個缺陷：(1)willprove所表示的一般將來時與主句的一般過去時是不對應(yīng)的；(2)both與andalso的搭配是不正確的。c中也有兩令毛?。?1)賓語從句省了標(biāo)志詞that；(2)themselves多余(對照看12-55)。A、D比較：A有一個缺陷，即在notonlyA1butalsoA2結(jié)構(gòu)中，要求兩個并列成分不能存在省略，即不能在A1中(或A2中)省略了與A2中(或A1中)相同的部分，如本例A項，notonlyinexpensive之后就省去了indicatorsofeconomicperformance，從而導(dǎo)致了A1與A2在形式上不一致。而bothA1andA2結(jié)構(gòu)中，就允許A1和A2共用同一部分，而該部分可在A1中，也可在A2中，如本例的正確選項D(共用部分為indicatorsofeconomicperformance)。7、Althoughitwasexpectedthatworkersunderfortywouldshowhostilitytotheplan,theresearchreportindicatesthatbothyoungerandtheolderpeopleapproveofgovernmentalappropriationsforSocialSecurity.A、youngerandtheolderpeopleB、youngerpeopleandtheolderC、theyoungerandtheolderD、youngerandolderpeopleE、peoplewhoareyoungerandthosewhoareolder標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：A、B中both之后無the，而and之后有the，形式上不對稱。C、D、E從句意上都對，但D最簡潔?？赡芸忌郧俺Ｒ姷亩际怯胻he+adj．代表某一類人，如：thepoor或者therich表窮人或者富人。但在GMAT中，不用the同樣可表某一類人，如E7—34、E9-56、8-5中的poorandrich，因而選D。8、Dr.Sayre’slecturerecountedseverallittle-knownepisodeintherelationsbetweennationsthatillustrateswhatiswrongwithalliancesandtreatisesthatdonothavepopularsupport.A、relationsbetweennationsthatillustratesB、relationofonenationwithanotherthatillustratesC、relationsbetweennationsthatillustrateD、relationofonenationwithanotherandillustrateE、relationsofnationsthatillustrates標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：A、C中用betweennations不符合between僅用于兩者之間的用法。D中andillustrate的表達(dá)使得illustrate找不到平行對象。E中illustrates用第三人稱單數(shù)形式與其先行詞relations的復(fù)數(shù)形式不對應(yīng)，B中that的先行詞是relation。9、Intar,theoldestHispanictheatercompanyinNewYork,hasmovedawayfromtheSpanishclassicsandnowitdrawsontheworksbothofcontemporaryHispanicauthorswholiveabroadandofthoseintheUnitedStates.A、nowitdrawsontheworksbothofcontemporaryHispanicauthorswholiveabroadandofthoseB、nowdrawsontheworksofcontemporaryHispanicauthors,boththosewholiveabroadandthosewholiveC、itdrawsontheworksofcontemporaryHispanicauthors,boththoselivingabroadandwholiveD、drawsnowontheworksbothofcontemporaryHispanicauthorslivingabroadandwhoarelivingE、drawsontheworksnowofbothcontemporaryHispanicauthorslivingabroadandthose標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：由于該句屬于同一動作執(zhí)行者Intar的兩個并列動作的平行結(jié)構(gòu)，因而A、C中的it(指Intar)均可省去。比較B、D、E，D、E中both后的對象與and后的對象不具備可比性，同時E中now的位置不對。10、Thepresidentsoftheblockassociationtriedtoconvinceherneighborstheyshouldjoinforcestopreventcrimeintheneighborhoodratherthancontinuingtobevictimized.A、theyshouldjoinforcestopreventcrimeintheneighborhoodratherthancontinuingtobevictimizedB、thattheyshouldjoinforcestopreventcrimeintheneighborhoodratherthancontinuetobevictimizedC、aboutjoiningforcestopreventcrimetheneighborhoodinsteadofcontinuingtobevictimizedD、forthejoiningofforcestopreventcrimeintheneighborhoodratherthancontinuetobevictimizedE、tojoinforcestopreventcrimeintheneighborhoodratherthancontinuingtobevictimized標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：由ratherthan之后跟動詞原形，可排除A，E。由insteadof之后只跟名詞或動名詞的原則，排除C。D中convincesb．forsth．的用法不符合表達(dá)習(xí)慣。而B的表達(dá)是正確的。11、Afireinanenclosedspaceburnswiththeaidofreflectedradiationthatpreheatsthefuel,makingignitionmucheasierandflamesspreadingmorequickly.A、flamesspreadingB、flamespreadsC、flamesarecausedtospreadD、causingflamestospreadE、causingspreadingoftheflames標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：由劃線部分之前的mucheasierand及劃線之后的morequickly可斷定，劃線部分是與前面的makingignition構(gòu)成平行結(jié)構(gòu)，因而排除A、B、C，它們在形式上不對稱；另外cause之后一般跟動詞不定式，因而選D而排除E。12、Inmetalworkoneadvantageofadhesive-bondingoverspot-weldingisthatthecontact,andhencethebonding,iseffectedcontinuouslyoverabroadsurfaceinsteadofaseriesofregularlyspacedpointswithnobondinginbetween.A、insteadofB、asopposedtoC、incontrastwithD、ratherthanatE、asagainstbeingat標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：盡管A、B、C這些詞組均可用于表示前后對比的意思，但它們之中的最后一個詞都是介詞(of,to，with)決定了它們之后只能跟名詞。而在此之前是介詞短詞overabroadsurface，那么劃線之后也必須是介詞短語。這兩個要求存在矛盾，因而此功能(表2對比)只能由ratherthan來充當(dāng)。D中補(bǔ)出介詞at，符合平行原則。E中asagainst同樣也有“對比”之意，但其之后是名詞形式beingat短語，也不符合平行要求。13、Arecentstudyhasfoundthatwithinthepastfewyears,manydoctorshadelectedearlyretirementratherthanfacethethreatsoflawsuitsandtherisingcostsofmalpracticeinsurance.A、hadelectedearlyretirementratherthanfaceB、hadelectedearlyretirementinsteadoffacingC、haveelectedretiringearlyinsteadoffacingD、haveelectedtoretireearlyratherthanfacingE、haveelectedtoretireearlyratherthanface標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E知識點解析：本句同樣是要明確哪兩個之間存在并列關(guān)系，由題意可知，本句是elect的兩個賓語之間的并列，即選擇早退休而不是選擇面對法律訴訟的威脅和不斷增長的誤診保險費(fèi)。由此，排除形式上不能形成平行結(jié)構(gòu)的A、B，elect之后一般跟動詞不定式，而不跟動名詞，排除C。D中ratherthan之后未用動詞原形。14、Geologistsbelievethatthewarningsignsforamajorearthquakemayincludesuddenfluctuationsinlocalseismicactivity,tiltingandotherdeformationsoftheEarth’scrusts,changingthemeasuredstrainacrossafaultzone,andvaryingtheelectricalpropertiesofundergroundrocks.A、changingthemeasuredstrainacrossafaultzone,andvaryingB、changingmeasurementsofthestrainacrossafaultzone,andvaryingC、changingthestrainasmeasuredacrossafaultzone,andvariationsofD、changesinthemeasuredstrainacrossafaultzone,andvariationsinE、changesinmeasurementsofthestrainacrossafaultzone,andvariationsamong標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：A、B、C中動名詞changing短語與前面未劃線的名詞詞組在形式上不能形成平行結(jié)構(gòu)；比較D、E，E中有兩個毛?。?1)D中change短語中，in短語的核心詞為strain，而E把核心詞改為measurement，句意隨之改變；(2)在某方面的變異用variationinsth．而不用介詞among；正如本句“在某方面的變化”用changeinstrain一樣。15、Someanalystscontendthattruecapitalismexistsonlywhentheownershipofbothpropertyandthemeansofproductionisregardedasaninalienablerightofindividual’s,anditisnotalicensegrantedbygovernmentandrevocableatwhim.A、isregardedasaninalienablerightofanindividual’s,anditisnotB、areregardedasindividuals’inalienablerights,andthatitnotbeC、isregardedasanindividual’sinalienableright,notasD、areregardedasanindividual’sinalienablerights,notwhentheyareE、isregardedastheinalienablerightsofanindividual,notwhenitis標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：本句是issth…notsth．的平行結(jié)構(gòu)，D中they指代有明顯錯誤(只能指代analysts，篡改了句意)。B中的are與單數(shù)主語不一致。A中有兩個毛?。?1)individual’s中的’s是多余的；(2)anditis也多余，因為主謂語前后相同，完全可省。比較C、E，E中notwhenitis與前面的when從句形成并列關(guān)系；itis之后省了regardedas。這樣表達(dá)的缺陷在于未能突出asrights和notasalicense是同一條件的兩個方面，也未能突出only的強(qiáng)調(diào)作用，使句意發(fā)生了變化.C句中asrights與notasalicense是并列的主語補(bǔ)語，并作為when從句的一部分，only的強(qiáng)調(diào)含義也就很清楚地被表現(xiàn)出來，并且表達(dá)得很簡潔。16、FromthetimeofitsdefeatbytheGermansin1940untilitsliberationin1944,Francewasabitteranddividedcountry;akindofcivilwarragedintheVichygovernmentbetweenthosewhowantedtocollaboratewiththeNaziswiththosewhoopposedthem.A、betweenthosewhowantedtocollaboratewiththeNaziswiththoseopposedB、betweenthosewhowantedtocollaboratewiththeNazisandthosewhoopposedC、betweenthosewantingtocollaboratewiththeNaziswiththoseopposingD、amongthosewhowantedtocollaboratewiththeNazisandthosewhoopposedE、amongthosewantingtocollaboratewiththeNaziswiththoseopposing標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：本句是between…and的用法，僅B符合此要求(本句中有一個from…until句型)。17、ItisnotlikelythatthecompetitiveimbalancethatnowexistsbetweenJapanwithallmajorindustrialnationswillberedressedduringtheforeseeablefuture.A、withallmajorindustrialnationswillberedressedduringB、withallothermajorindustrialnationswillberedressedwithinC、withallothermajorindustrialnationswillberedressedduringD、andallmajorindustrialnationswillberedressedduringE、andallothermajorindustrialnationswillberedressedwithin標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E知識點解析：本句是between…and結(jié)構(gòu)，因而可排除A、B、C。比較D、E，D中有兩個缺陷：(1)D中all之后未補(bǔ)出other，也就是未把自身(Japan)排除，邏輯上有問題；(2)during一般不與將來的時間段連用，E中用within連接將來的時段就合乎習(xí)慣。18、Themostfavorablelocationsforthegrowthofglaciers,ratherthanbeingthecold,drypolarregions,wouldbeinsteadthecool,moistmiddlelatitudes,wherethereisabundantprecipitationandwhereitiscoldenoughtoallowsomesnowtoaccumulateyearbyyear.A、glaciers,ratherthanbeingthecold,drypolarregions,wouldbeinsteadthecool,moistmiddlelatitudesB、glaciersarenotthecold,drypolarregionsbutthecool,moistmiddlelatitudesC、glaciersarethecool,moistmiddlelatitudesratherthanthecold,drypolarregionsD、glaciers,insteadofbeingthecold,drypolarregions,wouldbethecool,moistmiddlelatitudesE、glaciersare,insteadofthecold,drypolarregions,ratherthecool,moistmiddlelatitudes標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：C中修飾對象錯位，本應(yīng)修飾thecool，moistmiddlelatitudes的兩個where從句變?yōu)閷hecold，drypolarregions的修飾。B中用not…but結(jié)構(gòu)清楚地表明了“不是…而是”的句意。A、E中：insteadof與rather(than)出現(xiàn)在同一句中屬于語義重復(fù)。D中being多余，且結(jié)構(gòu)不如B簡潔。19、Inthe1950’sastronomersweredividedbetweenthosewhobelievedtheuniversebeganinacosmicexplosion(the"bigbang")withthosewhofavoredthemodelofaneternalandinfinitesteady-stateuniverse.A、universebeganinacosmicexplosion(the"bigbang")withB、universebeganwithacosmicexplosion(the"bigbang")andC、universehadabeginninginacosmicexplosion(the"bigbang")orD、universe’sbeginningwasacosmicexplosion(the"bigbang")orE、universe’sbeginningwasacosmicexplosion(the"bigbang")against標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：本句是between…and的用法，除B外，其余選項搭配都不當(dāng)。20、TheenergysourceonVoyager2isnotanuclearreactor,inwhichatomsareactivelybrokenapart;ratherakindofnuclearbatterythatusesnaturalradioactivedecaytoproducepower.A、apart;ratherB、apart,butratherC、apart,butratherthatofD、apart,butthatofE、apart;itisthatof標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：C、D、E中thatof屬多余，它們的加入會導(dǎo)致句意無法理解。因為that指代anuclearreactor，把其代入C、D、E，就成為anuclearreactorofakindofnuclearbattery，不知所云。且E中省去but，用分號連接，弱化了轉(zhuǎn)折語氣。Arather單獨出現(xiàn)只能作為形容詞，與本句句意不符，要表示轉(zhuǎn)折需要與than或but連用才正確。21、From1982to1987salesofnewsmallboatsincreasedbetweenfiveandtenpercentannually.A、From1982to1987salesofnewsmallboatsincreasedbetweenfiveandtenpercentannuallyB、Fivetotenpercentistheannualincreaseinsalesofnewsmallboatsintheyears1982to1987C、Salesofnewsmallboatshaveincreasedannuallyfiveandtenpercentintheyears1982to1987D、Annuallyanincreaseoffivetotenpercenthasoccurredbetween1982to1987inthesalesofnewsmallboatsE、Occurringfrom1982to1987wasanannualincreaseoffiveandtenpercentinthesalesofnewsmallboats標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：B、C中intheyear1982to1987的表達(dá)模糊，不如用from1982to1987清晰簡潔。同時B、C、D、E中的fivetotenpercent或者fiveandtenpercent都讓人產(chǎn)生疑惑：為什么年增長率是5％～10％這樣一個范圍而非一具體數(shù)值?為什么年增長率既是5％又是10％(fiveandtenpercent)?A中用betweenfiveandtenpercent準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)句意，即：在1982年到1987年之間，這種小船的年銷售增長率在5％到10％之間波動。22、Despiteitsattractiveness,investingabroadcanstillposebigrisks,rangingfromthepotentialforpoliticalinstabilityinsomecountriestotheshortageofregulationstoprotectinvestorsandaseriouslackofinformationaboutinvestmentsinothers.A、totheshortageofregulationstoprotectinvestorsandaseriouslackofinformationaboutinvestmentsinothersB、totheshortageofregulationstoprotectinvestorsandinothersaseriouslackofinformationaboutinvestmentsC、andtheshortageofregulationstoprotectinvestorsandaseriouslackofinformationaboutinvestmentsinothersD、andtheshortageofregulationstoprotectinvestorstoaseriouslackofinformationaboutinvestmentsinothersE、totheshortageofregulationstoprotectinvestorsinothersandaseriouslackofinformationaboutinvestments.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：未劃線的rangingfrom提示本句是from…to的表范圍結(jié)構(gòu)，本句中除C外，其他4個選項都用了此結(jié)構(gòu)。一般來說，from…to…結(jié)構(gòu)只并列2個內(nèi)容，但此處卻出現(xiàn)3個方面：thepotential，theshortage，alack。因而其中有2個應(yīng)用and連接組成大并列結(jié)構(gòu)中的一個部分，而另一個則成為大并列結(jié)構(gòu)中的另一部分。那么究竟誰跟誰由and連接成為一個并列的子項呢?這并非隨意組合，正如在前面例題講到的，意思相近的或密切相關(guān)的才能組合在一起。由本句句意，theshortage和alack句意相近，適合并列成為一個from…to…子項。因此，排除D。A、B、E的根本差異在于對inothers的位置考慮。在本句中，inothers就是指inothercountries，與前面的insomecountries對應(yīng)。B中將inothers放在alack之前，與前面的insomecountries放在名詞詞組末尾在形式上不對應(yīng)；E的確將inothers放在theshortage名詞詞組之后，但這樣就會導(dǎo)致一種誤解，即inothers僅修飾theshortage，而不修飾后面的alack，而句意要求inothers不僅要修飾theshortage，還要修飾alack。而A中的表達(dá)則把inothers放在并列之末，表明investors之后省略了inothers，表明了句意。23、Scientificinterestinprovidingsuitablehabitatsforbottom-dwellinganimalssuchasriverclamsarisesnotbecausetheyareimportantsourcesofhumanfoodbutfromtheirroleasanintegrallinkintheaquaticfeedchain.A、notbecausetheyareimportantsourcesofhumanfoodB、althoughtheyarenotanimportantsourcesofhumanfoodC、notinthattheyareimportantashumansourcesoffoodD、notfromtheirimportanceasasourceofhumanfoodE、notfrombeingimportantsourcesoffoodforhumanbeings標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：本句是not…but結(jié)構(gòu)，由but之后的fromtheirrole決定了與其形式上對應(yīng)而又符合句意的僅有D選項。24、Asitbecomesmorefrequenttohavespouseswhobothworkoutsidethehome,companiesarebeginningtohelpinfindingnewemploymentforthespousesoftransferredemployees.A、itbecomesmorefrequenttohavespouseswhobothworkoutsidethehomeB、itbecomesmorefrequenttohavecouplesbothworkingoutsidethehomeC、itbecomesmorecommonthatbothhusbandandwifeshouldbeworkingoutsidethehomeD、itbecomesmorecommonforbothhusbandandwifetoworkoutsidethehomeE、couplesinwhichbothofthespousesworkingoutsidethehomebecomemorecommon標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：根據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)，D符合這個結(jié)構(gòu)，只不過用become替換了is。A、B中有兩個錯誤：frequent在這里屬使用不當(dāng)，而havespouses和句子要表達(dá)的意思不一致，且會造成一種歧義：“公司使這些夫婦在外工作”，C中的shouldbeworking是沒有任何依據(jù)的。E中的couplesinwhichbothofthespousesworkingoutside的表達(dá)過于笨拙，并不符合習(xí)慣。25、Itmaysomedaybeworthwhiletotrytorecoveruraniumfromseawater,butatpresentthisprocessisprohibitivelyexpensive.A、ItmaysomedaybeworthwhiletotrytorecoveruraniumfromseawaterB、Someday,itmaybeworthwhiletotryandrecoveruraniumfromseawaterC、TryingtorecoveruraniumfromseawatermaysomedaybeworthwhileD、TotryfortherecoveryofuraniumoutofseawatermaysomedaybeworthwhileE、Recoveringuraniumfromseawatermaybeworthwhiletotrytodosomeday標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：根據(jù)題意套此結(jié)構(gòu)，選A。B中的totryandrecover的表達(dá)是不對的，必須是trytodosth．或trydoingsth．；D中的tryfor指“謀求，爭取”，改變原句意思。E中trytodo與句首的recovering屬語義重復(fù)現(xiàn)象，沒有A簡潔。C用動名詞作主語，按理說是可以成立的，但動名詞與動詞不定式作主語有唯一的細(xì)微差別：即動名詞一般指通常性的、習(xí)慣性的動作，而動詞不定式指某一特定動作(試比較：sellinginsuranceisaprettilyboringjob和Itwasdifficulttosellmycar．)，而本句中用了someday，表明是某一特定動作，因而選A排除C。GMAT（VERBAL）語法改錯模擬試卷第2套一、邏輯推理(本題共25題，每題1.0分，共25分。)1、EventhoughBelaBartok’smusichasprovedlesspopularthanIgorStravinsky’sandlessinfluentialthanArnoldSchonberg’s,itisnolessimportant.A、Stravinsky’sandlessinfluentialthanArnoldSchonberg’s,itB、Stravinsky’sandlessinfluentialthanArnoldSchonberg’s,heC、Stravinsky’sisandlessinfluentialthanArnoldSchonberg’sis,itD、StravinskyandnotasinfluentialasArnoldSchonberg,heE、StravinskyandnotasinfluentialasArnoldSchonberg,it標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：B、D中he的出現(xiàn)是不對的，讓步從句在討論作品，主句卻變?yōu)榱擞懻撊?，邏輯關(guān)系不明確，(讓步從句討論人，主句卻變成討論作品)。E中成了“作品與人比較”，不具可比性；C中補(bǔ)出的謂語動詞is是沒有根據(jù)的，因為than之前是完成時態(tài)，注意此題中A項并未補(bǔ)出than之后的謂語動詞是因為此句比較對象清楚、明確，省略后不會造成歧義。2、InhiseagernesstofindacityworthyofPriam,theGermanarchaeologistSchliemanncutthroughTroyanduncoveredacivilizationathousandyearsolderaswasthecityHomer’sheroesknew.A、olderaswasthecityHomer’sheroesknewB、moreancientthanthecityknowntoHomer’sheroesC、olderthanwasthecityknowntoHomer’sheroesD、moreancientofacitythanHomer’sheroesknewE、olderofacitythanwastheoneknowntoHomer’sheroes標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：A中older和as屬搭配不當(dāng)，D、E中共同的錯誤有三個：(1)older(moreancient)之后的of屬多余；(2)acity是泛指，本處應(yīng)特指，指“Troy”；(3)than位置不對；B與C比較，有兩個優(yōu)點：(1)ancient指“古老”，在此處比old的含義準(zhǔn)確；(2)劃線部分和前面的athousandyears共同組成一個后置名詞詞組修飾acivilization。因此C中補(bǔ)出was，出現(xiàn)句子結(jié)構(gòu)是不必要的；而B避免了此缺陷，且比較也很明確。3、Severalstudieshavefoundthatthecoronarypatientswhoexercisemostactivelyhavehalforlessthanhalfthechanceofdyingofaheartattackasthosewhoaresedentary.A、havehalforlessthanhalfthechanceofdyingofaheartattackasthosewhoaresedentaryB、havehalfthechance,orless,ofdyingofaheartattackthanthosewhoaresedentarydoC、havehalfthechancethattheywilldieofaheartattack,orless,thanthosewhoaresedentarydoD、areatleastfiftypercentlesslikelytodieofaheartattackasthosewhoaresedentaryE、areatleastfiftypercentlesslikelythanthosewhoaresedentarytodieofaheartattack標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E知識點解析：A中l(wèi)essthan與as不能搭配；B、C中than之前無比較級出現(xiàn)(lessthan是與之相并列的部分)；D中belikelyas同樣不能搭配；E中的atleast就消除了“同級和比較級共用一個than的誤解”。todieofaheartattack是修飾likely，因為該短語較長，所以后置，同時E的belikelytodosth．符合習(xí)慣用語的表達(dá)。類似的還有becommitted／inclinedtodosth．(傾向于做某事)。4、OfallthepossibledisastersthatthreatenAmericanagriculture,thepossibilityofanadversechangeinclimateismaybethemoredifficultforanalysis.A、ismaybethemoredifficultforanalysisB、isprobablythemostdifficulttoanalyzeC、ismaybethemostdifficultforanalysisD、isprobablythemoredifficulttoanalyzeE、is,itmaybe,theanalysisthatismostdifficult標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：A、D中出現(xiàn)比較級moredifficult卻未出現(xiàn)than和比較對象。同時根據(jù)未劃線部分的ofallthepossibledisasters可推斷此處應(yīng)用最高級形式。E中句子復(fù)雜且無必要。difficult之后一般用動詞不定式修飾，而不用for介詞短語修飾，應(yīng)排除C、E。5、Whatwasasremarkableasthedevelopmentofthecompactdischasbeentheuseofthenewtechnologytorevitalize,inbettersoundthanwaseverbeforepossible,someoftheclassicrecordedperformancesofthepre-LPera.A、WhatwasasremarkableasthedevelopmentofthecompactdiscB、ThethingthatwasasremarkableasdevelopingthecompactdiscC、NolessremarkablethanthedevelopmentofthecompactdiscD、DevelopingthecompactdischasbeennonethelessremarkablethanE、Developmentofthecompactdischasbeennolessremarkableas標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：D中的nonetheless意為“盡管…仍然”或“并不因為…而不…”，在本句使用不恰當(dāng)；E中的Noless…as不搭配；B中thethingthat實際上就等于what，不如A簡潔；同時，B、D中的developing是不恰當(dāng)?shù)?；A、C之間在意思上無太多差異，選C因為它更符合習(xí)慣用法。6、ThenumberofundergraduatedegreesinengineeringawardedbycollegesanduniversitiesintheUnitedStatesincreasedbymorethantwicefrom1978to1985.A、increasedbymorethantwiceB、increasedmorethantwotimesC、morethandoubledD、wasmorethandoubledE、hadmorethandoubled標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：最簡潔；D、E時態(tài)不對。7、SaltdepositsandmoisturethreatentodestroytheMohenjo-KaroexcavationinPakistan,thesiteofanancientcivilizationthatflourishedatthesametimeasthecivilizationsintheNiledeltaandtherivervalleysoftheTigrisandEuphrates.A、thatflourishedatthesametimeasthecivilizationsB、thathadflourishedatthesametimeashadthecivilizationsC、thatflourishedatthesametimethosehadD、flourishingatthesametimeasthosedidE、flourishingatthesametimeasthosewere標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：B中用過去完成時沒有任何根據(jù)，用一般過去時即可；C中缺as；D、E中用現(xiàn)在分詞flourishing替代定語從句不妥，因為主句是現(xiàn)在時，而從句是過去時，不符合使用現(xiàn)在分詞作限定詞的條件。8、NeverbeforehadtaxpayersconfrontedsomanychangesatonceastheyhadintheTaxReformActof1986.A、somanychangesatonceastheyhadinB、atonceasmanychangesasC、atonceasmanychangesthattherewerewithD、asmanychangesatonceastheyconfrontedinE、somanychangesatoncethatconfrontedthemin標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：C、E中缺少一個as；B中未補(bǔ)出比較對象，會產(chǎn)生歧義；A中than之后補(bǔ)出的謂語動詞had的形式不對，應(yīng)用did，因為as之后的動作是發(fā)生在1986年，屬于過去時段，用一般過去時即可。9、Neverbeforeinthehistoryofmusichavemusicalsuperstarsbeenabletocommandsoextraordinaryfeesofthekindtheydotoday.A、soextraordinaryfeesofthekindtheydotodayB、soextraordinaryfeesastheyaretodayC、suchextraordinaryfeesastheydotodayD、suchextraordinaryfeesofthekindtoday’shaveE、soextraordinaryafeeofthekindtheycantoday標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：本題中比較前的謂語動詞是havebeenabletocommand(對照9-14)，但核心詞是command，主要動作是“要求額外的費(fèi)用”，本句是過去一直與現(xiàn)在做比較，因而as之后應(yīng)補(bǔ)出助動詞do，因此，B、D、E中補(bǔ)出的動詞are、have或can都與此要求不一致；A中so不可能修飾名詞fee，而只能用C中的such來修飾。10、Eventhoughthedirectcostsofmalpracticedisputesamountstoasumlowerthanonepercentofthe$541billionthenationspentonhealthcarelastyear,doctorssayfearoflawsuitsplaysamajorroleinhealth-careinflation.A、amountstoasumlowerB、amountstolessC、amountedtolessD、amountedtolowerE、amountedtoalowersum標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：少于某一金額用less而不用lower；A、E中的amountsto和asum屬于同義重復(fù)；而且此累計額肯定是已發(fā)生的事，因而用過去時而不用B中的現(xiàn)在時。11、Aninventoryequalto90dayssalesisasmuchaseventhestrongestbusinessescarry,andthenonlyasawaytoanticipatehigherpricesorensureagainstshortages.A、asmuchasevenB、somuchasevenC、evensomuchasD、evenasmuchthatE、evensomuchthat標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：同級比較是as…as，而不用so…as(用在否定意義上)。Aeven是修飾后面的最高級；B、C、D、E都錯(比較詞語搭配不當(dāng))，本句大意是：相當(dāng)于90天銷售的存貨就等于最大的商業(yè)儲備量，僅為用于預(yù)防價格上漲或確保商品不短缺。12、Becausenaturalgasiscomposedmostlyofmethane,asimplehydrocarbon,vehiclespoweredbynaturalgasemitlessofcertainpollutantsthantheburningofgasolineordieselfuel.A、lessofcertainpollutantsthantheburningofgasolineordieselfuelB、fewerofcertainpollutantsthanburninggasolineordieselfueldoC、lessofcertainpollutantsthangasolineordieselfuelD、fewerofcertainpollutantsthandoesburninggasolineordieselfuelE、lessofcertainpollutantsthanthoseburninggasolineordieselfuel標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E知識點解析：A、B、C、D中than之后的比較物都與than之前的vehicle不具可比性。13、Foundedin1983,themagazineincreaseditscirculationmorethandoublesincethen,anditsadvertising.A、increaseditscirculationmorethandoublesincethenB、hassinceincreaseditscirculationmorethandouble,C、hassincemorethandoubleditscirculationD、sincethenmorethandoubleditscirculationE、morethandoubleditscirculationsincethen標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：A、D、E中時態(tài)不對，由since引起的時間狀語要求用現(xiàn)在完成時；而B不簡潔，且double是動詞，放在than之后不知作何成分(增加三倍用quadruple即可，而不用increasefourtimes)。14、theinvestorwhoisuncertainaboutthefutureismorelikelytoputmoneyintoblue-chipstocksortreasurybillsthanintogold.A、thanintoB、thantheydoC、thantheyareD、asintoE、as標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：B、C中they指代有誤；D、E用as與前面的morelikely不匹配；此處是介詞賓語之間的比較，因而不用補(bǔ)主謂(不會造成誤解)。15、Seniorexecutiveshadalargerpercentageincreaseinpayin1990thanthewagesofothersalariedworkers.A、Seniorexecutiveshadalargerpercentageincreaseinpayin1990thanB、Thepercentageofseniorexecutives’payincreasein1990waslargerthanforC、The1990increaseinpayforseniorexecutiveswaslargerintermsofpercentagethanD、In1990seniorexecutiveshadalargerpayincreaseintermsofpercentagethandidE、Thepayofseniorexecutivesincreasedin1990byalargerpercentagethandid標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E知識點解析：A、B、C、D中than之前的對象與than之后的thewages不具可比性。16、MoreancientEgyptiantempleswereco
