2015年11月20日GMAT语法机经

　　第一部分：Q110

　　V1：有道题选项分别有 continuing continual continually continuous 狗主蒙了……

　　【推荐相关知识点】

　　continuous, continual, continuing 词义及用法

　　continuous 连续不断的(强调一个动作没有间断过)

　　做表语和定语 be continious或continious+名词

　　continual 反复的，频繁的(强调一个动作在某个时期反复出现)

　　只做定语 continual+名词

　　continuing 连续不断的,继续不变的

　　但是只能用于名词前

　　V2：continual，continually，continous

　　有个选项好像是continually evolving century, 其他的感觉都不对

　　第二部分：Q111

　　"Unlike B, A form when rising sea level by melting xxx" other options are

　　"Unlike B, A form by melting xxx from rising sea level"

　　"Unlike B, A form from melting xxx by rising sea level"

　　"Unlike B, the rising sea level...." ( we all know this is incorrect)

　　【推荐相关知识点】

　　I have the feeling this question tests causal links btw rising sea level, melting xxx and A form, and the difference btw by and from. In terms of logic sequence, A form is caused by rising sea level not melting xxx; rising sea level is a result of melting xxx. Therefore the one put rising sea level preceding melting xxx and after A form follows the sequence before. BUT construction with when followed by a ving is still questionable. I know while can be followed by a ving or Ved, but not sure when can do this.

　　还有一道题到现在也不确定，就说x这些东西， including a,b,c, have...... c和have之间没有逗号行不行

　　考了opened people’s eyes how...is的那个，但是很好选…没什么很迷惑的.…因为其他开头太奇怪

　　有一题because ofxxxx，AB不选，because of后面跟超大坨，用because it，后面好像是看语句简洁还是啥的，有一个withxxx，那个不要选

　　考了同位语，忘了句子什么意思，就是前面那个东西要做一个单独句子，然后用逗号and连接后面，不然前面就fragment，装得跟同位语一样A选项，其实不是…

　　有一题考了时态，过去时，不要用现在时….

　　有那种连着两个修饰的考点，两个连着的修饰歧义，然后还有which/it不能指代前面整个情况的考点，具体题目真的忘记了…

　　考了一个很tricky的either or..要看清楚，跟哪里平行，记得是两个句子平行，而不是小词平行

　　第三部分：Q112

　　so as to

　　【推荐相关知识点】

　　...So as to...

　　manhattan没有...so as to...的list举例

　　看看Ron大神在manhattan论坛上的讲解：

　　- i don't think that gmac likes it very much -- i've never seen it in an officially correct answer.

　　- "...so as to..." used to describe indirect intentions.

　　e.g.

　　Joe bought a gym membership so as to become more attractive to women. (the act of buying a gym membership itself is not going to make joe instantly more attractive to women (women do not swoon over a man's gym membership card). instead, there are plenty of implied intermediate steps between “by a gym membership” and “be more attractive“; the use of “so as to” implies that there are such intermediate steps in the process. (不过话说回来，这个区别实在是太小了，这算是语言上的艺术，Ron说GMAT肯定不会在这个上面出文章的.)

　　- "....so as to...." there should be no change of subject, and so there's an implication that the subject is the same as the subject of the previous clause/action.

　　e.g.

　　Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers to provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newborn children. (the only subjects of actions in the previous clauses are "congress" and "certain employers". therefore, the sentence is implying that one of these two entities is actually going to care for sick or newborn children! That does not make sense!)

　　so... as to...

　　manhattan中关于so...as to...的用法举例：

　　SUSPECT: The sauce was SO hot AS TO burn my mouth.

　　Note: The GMAT seems to have changed its mind on this idiom. In the 10th Edition of the Official Guide, problem #88 uses the construction in the correct answer. However, #37 in the 12th Edition says that this idiom is "incorrect" with no further explanation. Other authorities consider this idiom correct, and we agree. Nevertheless, you should be wary of its use.

　　Wrong: The saucehad SUCH heat AS TO burn my mouth.

　　The saucehad SO MUCH heat AS TO burn my mouth.

　　看看Ron大神在manhattan论坛上的讲解：

　　- "so...as to..." in general, you don't use so ADJ as to VERB unless the VERB describes some sort of state/condition. (i.e., if the verb is an action verb, this construction generally isn't used.)

　　e.g.

　　I am so ugly as to be viscerally repulsive to women. --> this works, because the verb“to be" describes a state/condition.

　　I am so ugly as to repel women on sight. --> you generally wouldn't see this in good writing, as "repel" is an action verb; the sentence would probably be written as I am so ugly that I repel women on sight.
