考点: 指代一致（Agreement）、简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）

1) being错误使用: 以下几种表达中being属于多余

a) being + n. b) being + adj. c) as being + n./adj./v-ing

2）用介词定语可以表达清楚意思更简洁，不需要用定语从句。

余,因为去掉插入语although后,句子变为Polio it continues…,it和Polio重复

力,用在此处不合适

(E) 正确, 整个句子简洁,表达清晰,用could表达一种可能性

句子结构: Although eradicated…, polio continues…and could be brought…

补充说明:

GMAT考试中,经常使用插入语来增加句子的难度. 我们可以去掉这些插入语来检查句子主干的正

确性, 如果主干正确,再来看插入语的正确与否.

number of wild birds successfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.

(A) bringing

(B) and brings

(D) and it brought

(E) and brought

考点: 简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）

(A) 正确, 使用伴随状语,正确的表现了sea eagle left their nests这个动作带来的影响,结果

(E) 错误同B

句子结构: …sea eagles left…, brining to …

补充说明:

伴随状语的几个特点:

1-在句子中应该是一个独立的成分，跟主句存在一定的逻辑关系

2-伴随状语一定是和主句谓语动词相比，并且伴随状语的意义居于次要地位

3-伴随状语中的动作和主句动作同时发生

4-伴随状语中动词的主语和主句中谓语动词的主语相同

(E) Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence five

centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, on Columbus Day 1992, the initiation of

Project SETI took place.

考点: 逻辑表达（Logical Predication）

2) 分词短语在句首起状语作用,逻辑主语等于句子主语

(A) on Columbus Day 1992位置错误,暗示了Europeans arrived in the New World发生在1992年,

而project发生在此之后的500年,明显不符合逻,应该将on Columbus Day 1992直接置于修饰对象

Initiated之后, 消除修饰歧意.

B) a $100 million作为Initiated on Columbus Day…的逻辑主语, 不符合逻辑

(D) the initiation 作为Pledging a $100 million的逻辑主语, 不符合逻辑; 整个句子没有谓语

(E) the initiation 作为Pledging a $100 million的逻辑主语, 不符合逻辑; on Columbus Day 1992

既可以修饰Europeans arrived又可以修饰the initiation,造成修饰不清; the initiation of Project

SETI took place表达笨拙

句子结构: Initiated on…, five centuries…, Project SETI pledged…investment in the search for…

(E) More than all the North American Great Lakes combined, Siberia's Lake Baikal, with more

than 300 rivers draining into it, holds 20 percent of the world's fresh water.

考点: 比较（Comparison）简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）

1) 限定性从句和非限定性从句: 限定性定语从句对先行词起限制、确定作用,与先行词有着不可分

割的联系,它的前面通常没有逗号;非限定性定语从句与它的先行词之间只有比较松散的关系,通常

用逗号将它与主句隔开

2) 比较的双方必须概念对等

(A) 正确, 非限定定语从句which holds…就近修饰Lake Baikal; more than all the…作为20

percent of the world’s fresh water的同位语,意思清晰,结构简单

(B) that引导限定性定语从句前面不用逗号隔开, 而此处去掉that从句并不影响原句的主要意思,因

此应该用which引导的非限定性定语从句表明两者之间松散的逻辑关系, 但即使改为which引导的

非限定性定语从句,which也只能修饰fresh water仍然意思不对; has more than 300 rivers that

drain into it表达笨拙,不如A的结构简单

后半句结构混乱.

(D) while作为连词表示当…的时候或者表示转折,而原句并没有这种逻辑关系; which引导的非限

定性定语从句就近修饰fresh water, 而从逻辑上应该修饰20 percent of the world’s fresh water

(D) which is a substance to promote blood clotting, but does not seriously interfere

(E) which is a substance that promotes blood clotting, but not a serious interference

(A) promotes…, but not…interfering…结构不平行

(B) 错误同A选项；

说明; but does跳过同位语和suffices并列共同作为a low dose of aspirin的谓语动词

(D) but does…更像是跟is a substance…并列,从而作为了thromboxane的谓语动词,改变了原句

的意思

(E) but not a serious语法上只能跟is a substance并列(因为前面有which is a substance that…

(D) as + 句子表示动作之间的比较, Tolstoi’s rebellion was…没有动作性动词,无法和did比较

(E) Tolstoi’s rebellion作为Rousseau’s不符合逻辑意思

句子结构: Like Rousseau, Tolstoi rebelled against…

OG10解释：

In choice A, the best answer, a clear and logical comparison is made between Rousseau and

Tolstoi.

Choice B illogically compares a person, Rousseau, to an event, Tolstoi's rebellion. Also,

Tolstoi's rebellion was against is less direct than Tolstoi rebelled against.

Inserting did after As would make C grammatical. Because As is a conjunction, it must

introduce a clause; hence the noun Rousseau must have a verb.

Choice D compares an implied action (As did Rousseau) with a noun (Tolstoi's rebellion).

Choice E is awkwardly formed, and like is needed in place of as to compare two nouns

(rebellion is understood after Rousseau's). Also, Tolstoi's rebellion... was against is less direct

than Tolstoi rebelled against.
