关于这部分,小妞本来打算是从一战二战三战的误区说起的,可是后来写着写着真的是觉得王大妈的裹脚布又臭又长,其实在语文方面每个人失败的原因都是一样的,就是没有上道。小妞说说自己的小道,大家可以斟酌看看。
(一)语法:语文中的王道,一定能短期突破!
1.语法的本质:语法一定不是考你语法点!语法考的是怎么样说出“专业、优美”的语言
2.语法材料(只限于小妞用过的,没有用过的不好推荐):OG12(总共算起来我看了6遍,待会我详细说说小妞是怎么看的),manhattan(如果把OG12吃透再看它,会有一种如鱼得水的感觉),旧破解笔记(我一战二战三战用的都是它,也看了无数遍,但是小声说一句,没有新破解笔记好,嘿嘿),白勇(看了两遍,但是我不怎么喜欢),还有论坛上各种NN的语法笔记和讨论稿(这个查缺补漏最好了,能学到好多实战方法),GWD(练PACE,查缺补漏,争议题不用花太多时间,看看讨论帖即可)
3.复习策略:语法同逻辑和阅读一样,一定不要祈求把所有的资料做完,做完没有吃透等于没做!(规定自己要做多少做多少题目,会有好大心理压力的,我之前就是,只要一完成不了任务,我就躁动躁动骂自己没用,最后适得其反,一定是不求最多,只求最细)小妞前三站把上述的材料都做了好多遍,最后惨淡收场,但是四战的时候就仅仅盯着OG12看,辅以部分新破笔记加manhattan,临考前语法做题就基本不错。所以,复习策略就是,吃透OG12,再选用两种左右的材料练习练习就可以了。
再强调:语法一定要反复反复去做OG12,反复反复去体会GMAC是怎么去表达一个“专业、优美”的句子的,慢慢你就能找到感觉(实战的时候基本靠它,尤其是20题以后的SC)
4.怎么看OG?其实看的遍数跟你的正确率没有比例关系,关键在于你要看到你不知道的,我虽然看了6遍,但是我觉得前4遍等于没有看,真正有用的是后两遍,下面我跟大家说说到底应该怎么去看OG12~
直接上题说,比如OG12-50
.According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
(A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
(B)in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come (C)in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather
to come
(E)that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
按照你自己的方法(小妞的方法写在后面),做出答案以后,甭管是对是错,一定要看OG的解释,你能把OG的解释吃透,绝对没有难到你的语法题。怎么看解释呢?小妞是这样做的
OG的解释:
Grammatical construction; Rhetorical construction
看完这句话,我记下了一个单词,Rhetorical 是修饰的意思(嘿嘿,背单词是无处不在的)
The original sentence successfully avoids the problems that may occur in a long sentence with multiple modifiers.
通过这句话,我明白了长句子中一定要谨防多重修饰的歧义,所以一看到长句子,我就要注意它的修饰成分
Two subordinate clauses begin with that, and one of them is contained within another.
宾语从句的嵌套,多读几遍正确答案,找到这种怎么能把N个宾语从句说得不冗杂不歧义的感觉
That many had feared earlier in the year clearly defines the recession. That the economy will avoid … and instead (will understood) come… is
the subordinate clause that follows the main clause; its subject, economy, is followed by two parallel verbs, will avoid and (will understood) come. Instead before the second verb properly indicates contrast.
这部分是最精华的,学习GMAC是怎么分析正确句子的,多看几次以后你就能够感觉得到这个地方不仅仅是在分析结构,更重要的是在分析句义。通过OG的解释你就能慢慢调整自己的思维到底什么样的说法才叫做有逻辑(主谓是否搭配,动宾是否搭配,修饰是否合理)
ACorrect.This sentence contains two correct subordinate clauses introduced by that.
B What cannot replace that; the economy to avoid the recession is awkward and unclear; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.
排除B答案你肯定有自己的理由,一定要将你的理由和OG的解释做比对,找到差异点,这个选项的错误比较明显,在这就不多说了
C Earlier in the year should follow many had feared, rather than preceding it; instead to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.
你排除的时候思路是不是跟OG12不一样或是不明白OG12的解释,这个时候你就要注意了,你的思路很有可能是错的,而且这道题目对你的价值非常大,怎么去验证呢,发贴&搜讨论帖
小妞排除的思路是:
正如OG所言,earily in the year在这个地方有歧义,并且我们很容易在这个地方忽略一点,会根据平行自己想当然的认为,是economy come in for a soft landing,但是此选项说的是ability,明显是不符合逻辑的,从比较这五个选项中我们也可以发现,只有这个选项加了一个ability,所它成为正确答案的概率不会高,可排除
D The recession must be followed by that; were fearing is the wrong tense; rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically.
这个选项是讨论最多的,也是最容易错选的,但是OG的解释不是很清楚和明白,所以继续发贴&搜讨论帖
小妞排除的思路是:
这是最容易错选的选项,咋一看,平行也平行,但是问题来了,这个地方平行的时候我们同样很容易想当然是economy come in for a soft landing,其实不然,因为结构是这样的confidence( in the economy)to avoid ……,and rather to come ……,所以搭配是错的,因为你可以是说信心能够避免什么,但是不能说它接受软着陆
E The passive voice construction that was feared … is weak and wordy; with it instead coming is awkward, wordy, and ungrammatical.
小妞的思路是:前面几个都平行,在GMAC中,平行是王者,所以这个选项我一看的时候基本就可以排除,也不符合流畅的语言要求,看着都费劲,就不会是正确答案了

做到这一步还没有完,通过搜讨论帖(就在网页右上角就可以搜索,搜的效率和质量一定比发帖高),小妞分析这道题目的时候有遇到新问题了,于是发帖&问大NN
小妞的疑惑:我又找到一个地方,OG自相矛盾
50题说定语从句在先行词做宾语的时候that不能省略
可是在62题的正确答案中:to establish tighter restrictions on the amount of grain farmers will be allowed to grow and to encourage. farmers will be allowed to grow缺又省略了连接词that
已解惑
大班大牛大好人aeo的答复:一般来说that在定从中做宾语的话that需要省略,不过这里many前面的that需要补出的,为的是避免had feared和come in并列的歧义。so,无歧义凌驾于所有原则之上。
Aeo:思路正确,已经上路了,不同的句子排布会折射出不同的语义,所以从语义入手解题不仅仅从本质入手、更可以绕过繁杂的语法点辨析过程。
不过我想在实战、实际做题时还可以再简化一些思路。
本题考点不在fear的时态,因为fear用过去时或者过去完成时都没有问题,只是表达不同含义而已。
首先B,C,D通过前面四五个单词秒排,to avoid的修饰对象成了confidence,对于E,读过一遍选项感觉many突兀,细看无所指,with it instead没有修饰对象,排除。这道题目可以15秒做完。
或者换一种思路:
confidence后面应该用that解释更为有效,那么依然剩下A,E。
