18).总体感觉就是VERBAL和PREP差别很小，尤其是语法不像大家说的那么吓人，不过最后一道语法要吐血了，选项如下：
完整句子+Automobile（这个好象是宾语），空格，transported，or XXXED（动词） by XXX（名词）
A。When being towed。。。
B。While being towed。。。
C。When being towed，VED
D。While it is being towed or VED  or
E。When being towed by，or VED by 名词or VED

就这道题，LZ当时无语了；我觉得我那道题错了,所以不敢误导大家,但是我选的是有介词的那个,我当时觉得D和C一定错,现在想不起来为什么了...我选的是Ved +介词的那个,然后平行用OR 好象是E?所有选项都巨纠结...
【8月2日狗主人的热心补充】
整个平行就是
V V OR V, OR V V OR V
平行的,太纠结了,2个部分用OR连接
每个部分有3个V, EACH部分的3的最后用OR连接...
还都是BEING从来没见过... 2011-08-02 00:11:18
还有LZ,考了很多主谓一致和SUCH AS(SUCH AS 至少2次!)

tow: to pull something such as a barge or a broken-down car along by a rope or chain attached to it

1.【菩提无树a】
语法：很常规，不过可能是因为低分，like不能列举，列举要用such as

19).逻辑主语要恰当，有个题是 skeptical of ……，researcher find……
主谓搭配；both……as well as……错

20).capability 的用法（注意是of 还是 to do）
capability用法练习~
PREP08-1-243
Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal with all other pollutants.
A.        an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal
B.        an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's capability of dealing
C.        an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing
D.        a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal
E.        a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's ability to deal

题目释义：Sulfur dioxide, … , is…pollutant because it diminishes…ability to deal with…
考点：
习惯用语（idiom） 句子结构（grammatical construction）
1.        capability to do；GMAT认为capability of X-ing/in X-ing是wordy/awkward的。
2.        ability：sb's ability to do sth或ability of sb/sth to do sth
3.        capability to do不如ability to do简洁，但不可就此判错。
选项分析：
A.        Correct；ability to deal使用简洁；respiratory system's ability可以
B.        because of后结构复杂，awkward（because of后面如果跟动名词则一般是累赘的）；capability of dealing不够简洁
C.        in dealing有做状语修饰整个从句的歧义，含义变为Sulfur dioxide在dealing with的时候减少了respiratory system的能力，而不是原义想要表达的，减少了respiratory system的deal with…的能力；capability如果后面要加in doing,最好紧跟capability，避免歧义
D.        especially强调严重性，specially强调特殊性，根据原义，选especially；of the respiratory system的插入，导致to deal可以修饰动词diminish，歧义
E.        especially强调严重性，specially强调特殊性，根据原义，选especially； because of错误同B。

2.【720（Q51,V37）】
21). 第一道大概是…., China clocked the increase of …..8.9 percent-划线部分。。。。。Britain to the forth……
LZ觉得应该是一个同位语之类的所以排除了A，A中有最高级
B中是比较级，LZ觉得改变句意排除，
C也蛮容易排除的-是a growth that is the most
而D, E直接是the most….and …. Growth, 个人觉得更好，纠结在D和E上，因为D有个it一开始觉得有指代不清的嫌疑，但后来觉得就是指China, E中是个growth period 觉得不大对。。。
D. the most … and …. Growth……. And one that is perimative (这个单词实在有点记不住。。。形似。。。猜测后面加should省略，中间还有什么实在忘了啊) 。。。compelled it be ahead of
E. the most … and …. Growth period……. And one that ….beyond （没有compelled it be）
①同位语语法点见寂静8的补充
②One指代用法
one和ones指代前面出现的单数和复数名词的核心词,       
例:The proposed urban development zones represent not a new principle, but one that was employed in “Operation Bootstrap” in Puerto Rico.       
其中one指代前面出现的单数名词核心词principle而不是a new principle


单复数的～有道貌似是Research of …….have implications that ….应该是has…
之前的狗狗也提到本月题库中常出现简单主谓一致考题~~

22).还有一道是By simply shifting?(反正一个动词ing) your foot…..in the water, most 应该是一个生物的名称……这个应该是看主语是否为动作发出者，所以LZ排除了主语不对的选项，最后选了If you shift？your foot…., most………..
PREP正确句子-08-210
By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book market, which ranges from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.

23).还有一个好像是与第三个类似，但实在想不起来了，LZ选了With 主语。。。。， it。。。。。
其他选项有it 动词，it was….和With it……, it was……,都超级awkward的感觉主语不清

24).还有一道应该是选assessments of administrative. and of management skills, 考平行对称结构

3.【UNNCJane】
之前很多语法，语法多的出奇啊！！！我还在想是不是我语法已知连错，GMAC就连出，我再连错。。。。。不过语法都好简单，只有一道全划线的。

25).记得不清楚了只记得有 not just.. but______但我觉得那两个but also的选项不对，因为原文没有明显的递进关系，我选的别的。
Not just与but also本身不构成固定搭配

26).还有一个选：not_______
选项的开头有： not at least because…
Not least because。。。。（我选的这个）
【朗文】not least   formal   used to emphasize that something is important :  
        My mother was upset about his appearance here, not least because she felt it was invading her privacy.

27).最后一道语法选 with the ultimate goal of doing.. 或者 with the goal of ultimately doing… 我有点纠结。。
感觉第一个Ultimate goal是”最终的目标是做什么什么”
第二个“目标是最后做什么什么”两个含义差别较大

28).愈发题真的不难，遇到了很多在 含有that从句的选项 和 "of/for"+动名词短语的选项 间选择的题。这种情况下的原则是，that从句优于 "of/for"+动名词短语。
类似题目练习PREP7-17
Rejecting the apprenticeship model of training social workers in philanthropic agencies, twentieth-century reformer Edith Abbott was convinced of social work education belonging in the university so that students could be offered a broad range of courses dealing with social issues.

(A) of social work education belonging in the university so that
(B) that social work education should be in the university, and that
(C) about the importance of social work education belonging in the university while
(D) that social work education belonged in the university, where
(E) of the necessity of social work education being in the university and  

考点:        简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）、句子结构（Grammatical Construction）
1)        宾语从句强调整体,        谓语+宾语结构只强调宾语，是GMAT中常见的混淆选项。
2)        介词不能引导句子

(A) convinced of social work education结构只强调了social work education,没有强调convinced的完整内容
(B) should be in意思模糊,        无法表示出”属于”的意思; and that从语法上跟convinced that平行,但是从逻辑上and that后面的内容应该修饰university
(C)        句子结构复杂,且about无法有效地引导convinced的内容
(D)        正确,        用that从句能有效的表现convinced的内容; where清晰的表现了university和students的关系
(E) of结构无法有效地引导convinced的内容,而且of作为介词,不能引导句子,因此was convinced of … and students could…使用错误；and后面的句子没有平行对象。

句子结构: Rejecting the…, twentieth-century reformer Edith Abbott was convinced that…

补充说明:
GMAT一个常见的错误就是把一个完整的概念用一个名词来代替,造成对概念的解释不完整或引起结构的复杂.        这种错误常出现在宾语从句和that引导的同位语从句中:
that引导同位语:
Scientists find a result that rats will demonstrate some interesting behaviors.  
用名词来代替会变成:  
Scientist find a result of rats that will demonstrate some interesting behaviors. (解释不完全)或Scientist find a result of rats as demonstrating some interesting behaviors.(结构笨拙,复杂)
宾语从句:
…revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling…
用名词来代替:
…revealed creatures of the seabed that…(解释不完全)
…revealed creatures of the seabed’s suffering…(结构笨拙,复杂)
解决这两种问题的方法就是用 that 从句引导句子,简化结构,并能够进行完整的解释

还考到了which定语从句对先行词的指代，which定语从句必须紧跟先行词或先行词的同位语。还有"with+……"的伴随状语结构一定不要选。

5.【 orochiaiacos】
29）.有个salmon was so....that...people stalk
             salmon were so....that...people stalk
有选项是stalking什么的，我觉得选复数
salmon大马哈鱼，复数还是salmon

还要research of  XXXXX 选表语，单数那个

还有个选转择，BUT ALSO

还有选逻辑主语，忘了，很明显的~~~~

30). X,AND Y,BOTH MADE decision
X,AND Y, decided......

SC：我只想说比PREP难多了...可能是我有点紧张 但是那些题绝对都不是单一看什么平行主谓一致的...总之需要细读才能分辨出来对错


2.【mzhang1988】       
语法 原谅我吧 语法我一点也不记得了 不过就是平行感觉比较多，not only, but also 之前有童鞋说这个容易出陷阱 所以还是要先看句意在选 看到底是递进还是转折~~还有很多逻辑主语 主谓一致。。。。反正语法感觉非常简单 基本上几秒一个
