the experiment before it was conducted.


(A) must be warned of potential risks and an independent panel would

(B) must be warned of potential risks and that an independent panel

(C) are warned about potential risks and that an independent panel

(D) will be warned about potential risks and an independent panel would

than B(少 as); as…as compared to; as… than compared to; as… than 搭配。

习惯用语-likely,be likely to do 或 it +be likely that 从句。


(A) the national average表达不清楚;was可以省略。

(B) 正确,the average American与Americans of …对称,be likely to do。

(C) the national average表达不清楚;be likely that…的正确表达方式是用it作形式主语it+be likely

that…,而不是sth be likely that…;they指代对象不清楚。

(D) as… than搭配错误。

(E) as… than搭配错误;be likely that…的正确表达方式是用it作形式主语it+be likely that…,而不是

Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia

from the ones in other parts of Northern Europe, archaeological evidence shows that Viking ships

were lighter, slimmer, faster, and thus probably more seaworthy than the heavier vessels used by

the English at that time.


(A) Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age

Scandinavia from the ones

(B) Despite no fundamental difference between the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age

Scandinavia from those

(C) With shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia not fundamentally different from those

(D) With the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia having no fundamental difference

from the ones

(E) Although shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia were not fundamentally different

from those


句子结构:Although shipbuilding traditions in… were not … different from those in…, archaeological

evidence shows that…

Although引导让步状语从句。


考点:逻辑表达、习惯用语

逻辑表达,介词+分词的表达方式不及连词引导从句的表达更清晰有效。

习惯用语-difference,difference in / different from


(A) despite there being表达方式错误,应该用连词,despite是介词;tradition是抽象名词,用ones

不恰当。

(B) difference in… from …介词搭配错误。

(C) with结构不如用连词接从句的表达方式更有效。

(D) with … doing不如用连词接从句的表达方式更有效;tradition是抽象名词,用ones不恰当。

(E) 正确,although引导让步状语从句,those指代traditions。


补充说明:one/ones(语法说明)

One/ones 用以避免重复可数名词,在正式谈话或书面语中,不应使用。不能用以取代不可数名词,

与抽象可数名词连用也很少见。例如:

The Scottish legal system is not the same as the English system.    (而不用 as the English one)

句子结构:In order to protect… against both… and… , England passed …Act of 1698, which…

主语是England,谓语是passed,宾语是the Woolens Act of 1698,后跟which引导的定语从句修饰

句子宾语。


考点:平行对称、简洁有效、逻辑表达

平行对称-both…and…,连接对象要对称,尤其注意介词的并列。

简洁有效-目的表达,表示目的通常用 to do/in order to do,而不是用 for doing/for+名词。

逻辑表达,注意未划线部分句子的代词、谓语动词、单复数问题,使得前后一致。


(A) both… and…连接对象不对称。

(B) 正确,in order to do等于to do。

(C) England一词的位置使得未划线部分句子的which指代对象错误。

(D) 表目的用to do/in order to do,而不用for doing。

(E) 表目的用to do/in order to do,而不用for +名词;句子谓语结构不完整,应该是was passed被动

语态,否则passed by…只能视为过去分词作后置定语,使整个句子缺少谓语;England一词的位置

使得未划线部分句子的which指代对象错误。

考点:句子结构、逻辑表达

句子结构,当动词在选项中以谓语形式和分词修饰语成分同时出现时,要特别注意分词结构的句子中

是否有主句谓语。

逻辑表达,同位语修饰紧临的名词,注意未划线部分句子与划部部分的逻辑关系。


(A) a genre…作紧临的名词development的同位语错误;现在分词melding gospel rhythm and blues

与and后面的名词jazz不平行。

(B) some fish, whose eggs require months to incubate

(C) some fish that have eggs requiring months to incubate

(D) the requirement of months of incubation for some fish eggs

Until Berta and Ernst Scharrer established the concept of neurosecretion in 1928, scientists

believed that either cells secreted hormones, which made them endocrine cells and thus part of the 

endocrine system, or conducted electrical impulses, in which case they were nerve cells and thus

part of the nervous system.


(A) either cells secreted hormones, which made them

(B) either cells secreted hormones, making them

(C) either cells secreted hormones and were

(D) cells either secreted hormones, in which case they were

(E) cells either secreted hormones, which made them


句子结构:Until…, scientists believed that cells either…, or…    平行结构。


考点:平行对称、逻辑表达

平行对称-either… or…,连接对象要形式对称。

逻辑表达,which 只能指代名词,不能指代句子;现在分词结构在句尾,要特别注意其修饰对象是否

清楚合理。


(A) either… or …连接对象不平行,名词cells与动词conducted;which只能指代紧临的名词hormones,

不符合逻辑意思。

(B) either… or …连接对象不平行,名词cells与动词conducted;分词结构making存在修饰坡义,可

作定语修饰hormones,也可作状语修饰believed。

(C) either… or …连接对象不平行,名词cells与动词conducted;and were…的表达方式错误,与后

面的and thus…无法合理连接。

(D) 正确,they指代cells。

(E) which只能指代紧临的名词hormones,不符合逻辑意思。

company for $950 million, which is part of a deal that will make it the largest manufacturer in the

office color-printing market.

(B) million, a part of a deal that makes

(C) million, part of a deal making

(D) million as a part of a deal to make

(E) million as part of a deal that will make


句子结构:The computer company has announced that it will purchase … as part of a deal that…

Announce后跟宾语从句,that引导定语从句修饰名词deal。


考点:逻辑表达

逻辑表达,同位语的作用与系动词 be 的作用一样,不同类的东西不能作同位语。不能用中文中的意

思理解去做语法题;分词、不定式、从句用做修饰语时,各自表达的逻辑含义不同,要注意区分。


(A) which指代million错误。

(B) part of 表示是同位语,但 deal 与 million 不是同类,million 是个数字 number,它的同位语可以是

a number…。deal 是 business agreement,用它作同位语的可以是 agreement, contract 等;makes

一般现在时态错误,应该用将来时,表示将来的预期。

(C) part of 表示同位语,但 deal 与 million 不是同类,理由与选项 B 相同;分词的形式不能表达出从

句才具有的时态概念。

(D) to make 的修饰对象有歧义,原句是修饰 deal 的,但不定式的逻辑主语又可以是句子主语。

(E) 介词 as 引导的短语在句中充当状语,如同 The news comes as a shock. You need to be able to 

work as part of a team.中的 as 一样。这里 as part of…不是同位语,不需要去指代前面哪一个词或者

动作。

考点:比较

比较-like,like 比较结构的主句主语必须是与 like 后跟的名词同类,作比较对象。


(A) Like…, so…  搭配错误。

(B) Like…, so…  搭配错误;a clear warning修饰对象不清楚,紧临的名词是underbelly,但其修饰对

象应该是warning。

(C) ‘s displaying…与the thorny ballooning of… or the sudden appearance of…不对称;so表达的因

果意思与原句不符。

(D) 正确,like比较结构,the thorny ballooning of… or the sudden appearance of…与’s display of…

对比,that引导定语从句修饰warning。

(E) it is…结构使得like比较结构比较对象不对等;a clear warning修饰对象不清楚


补充说明:名词peril

a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune; at one’s peril冒险,处于险境。

(A) they没有指代对象,因为用的是主动语态they believed…,如果they指代drugs,则必须用被动语

态。

(B) 正确,that 引导宾语从句说明 indicate 的内容,as 在这里的作用更类似连词,连接一个主句和一

个从句。

平行对称,句中相同功能的结构并列时尽量做到语态、时态形式上都对称。

句子结构-省略,并列结构中只有功能相同的词才可以省略,要特别注意相同的词在并列时起不同的

作用,比如 have 作助动词和实义动词时,就不可以省略。


(A) 正确,having been prescribed… or having been taken off…形式及时态都平行。

(B) having a drug prescription与being taken off不对称,应该都用被动语态。

(C) as连词后面应该跟完整的句子;having…  与being…不对称。

(D) 时态上不对称,现在完成时与过去时并列have been prescribed... or were taken off...;没有表达

原文的意思,因为when...引导的是时间状语从句,是指前面主句所述内容在when...这种情况下发生,

但原文的意思(尤其是用了for example)是列举了两种inadequate treatment的情况(用了动名词形

式),而不是在什么情况下会receive inadequate treatment。

(E) 时态上不对称,与D选项相同;have在本句是实意动词,不能充当or后面需要的助动词have。

Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular 

acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.


(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again

(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again 

(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again

(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity  


句子结构:Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are … who…, but whose reputation declines…

and never regains…  

Who与whose引导并列的定语从句修饰名词composer,前一从句谓语是receives,后一从句的并列谓

语是declines and regains。

OG10 解释:

Choice C, the best answer, maintains parallel structure, keeps verb tense consistent, and contains

no redundancies.  

Choice A illogically suggests that it is the composer who goes into decline after death, rather than

the composer's reputation. Choice A may also be faulted for the redundancy of never regains ...

again.

Choice B is not correct. Grammatically, a coordinating conjunction (e.g., "but") is needed to join the 

clause whose reputation declines ... with the preceding clause, who receives popular acclaim....

Furthermore, the phrase never regains... again suffers from redundancy.   

Choices D and E suffer from inconsistency in verb tense. To maintain parallelism the verbs must be

receives... declines... regains.

OG11解释:

Verb tense + Parallelism 

Faulty parallelism in the relative clause who receives ... goes ... regains ... makes it unclear who or 

what is being described. The original clause begins by describing a certain kind of composer. As

written, with who as the subject of goes and regains, the last two descriptions illogically continue 

to refer to the kind of composer. Logically it must be the reputation that declines after the 

composer's death.

A   Illogically suggests the composer goes into decline after death; redundant again

B   The two clauses are not parallel, lack a coordinating conjunction, and do not describe the 

same thing; redundant again

C Correct. This sentence presents the proper logic while maintaining paral el structure and 

consistent verb tense.

D  The verb tenses are inconsistent with present tense used in the first phrase; redundant

again

E The verb tenses are inconsistent with present tense used in the first phrase; to maintain

parallelism, the verbs must be receives ... declines ... regains

The correct answer is C.

的错误选项是逻辑上从句并列的内容在语法上与主句并列。

平行对称-either… or…,连接对象对称,注意介词的省略或补出。


(A) 正确,to be sold不定式作定语表达“被用来网上出售的”的意思,等于which will be sold。

(B) to sell them表达方式不正确;either… or…连接对象不对称。

(C) 不加逗号的and it will sell中的it多余;either… or…连接对象不对称。

(D) and selling没有平行对象;either … or…连接对象不对称。

(E) “, and it will”这里的逗号与and要连接两个完整的句子并列,即与主句publisher has announced…

并列,无法与定语从句中的will publish并列,除非去掉逗号。a pair of comma是隔开插入语(修饰成

分),不影响整体句子结构,所以”,under which…works,”就成了修饰division的成分,and it will sell…

和主句并列改变了原文要表达的意思。

As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28

years, Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning

applications.


(A) As the former

(B) The former

(C) Former

(D) She was 

(E) As the


句子结构:As…, Joan Philkill attended… and reviewed…


考点:逻辑表达、句子结构

逻辑表达,注意前后文所表达的意思,在词的含义上是否会有不符合逻辑之处。

句子结构,并列的句子必须有连词连接。

 

(A) as the former chair… for 18 consecutive years不符合逻辑,而且主语谓语是attended…,如果是

former chair,attended…也是不符合逻辑的。

(B) former用错,原因与A选项相同。

(C) 缺少冠词a或the。

(D) 两个句子连接不当,缺少连词;chair前面缺少冠词。

(E) 正确。

句子结构:As…, …, and …, Nannie Helen Burroughs was…  


考点:逻辑表达

逻辑表达,as+名词表示“作为”比 being+名词的表达方式更有效,其在句首时,句子主语应该是 as…

的逻辑主语;注意句子中所用的连词,是否合理地表达了原句要表达的意思。


(A) so…表达因果关系不符合逻辑;one of … was …的表达方式使得前面的 she 指代不清楚。

(B) and… also was表达递近关系不符合逻辑。

(C) 正确。

(D) as+名词表达“作为”的意思时,后面主句主语应该是人。

(E) being+名词的表达方式不及as更简洁有效,而且后面的主句主语应该是人。
