17. According to 与 In accordance with的区别
根据XX号文规定，应该怎样怎样，我们一开始都写：According to Circular ***
公司请了两个老外editor，专门帮我们挑报告中不规范的英语用法。然后老外就向我们提出来说，这个地方要用In accordance with，不能用according to。他们的理由是，according to 后面要跟法规的具体内容，而如果单说是根据什么什么法规，就要用in accordance with。
总结：
看 according to 一般要连更为具体的内容，通常放在句首，或者句中作插入语，根据目前的Gmat题，不需要逻辑一致。

18. 前面应被后面替换小结：
which that, that which, the thing that= what
not any = no
not ever = never
which is that=that
the only thing that=all    (the only thing that has to be done  all one has to do)
at the time after=after
while being=as    (as表过程，随着…)
A is what is the B 中what is可以省略, A is the B
wanting to do=to do
what the effects=the effects
otherpeople/things=others
that of his own=his own  (前者双重所有格)
something of whom=whose sth.
but instead=but
with the exception of  = except
so as to = to
up until=until  (until已经包括了up的含义。
until: conj.(=up to the time when)到...时为止；
prep.（介词）Up to the time of；Before (a specified time):用在否定句)
with none of = without
but still=but
wanting to do=to do
different from that which=different than (不同于different from(用different from正确))
                             His way of living is different than ours.他的生活方式跟我们的不同。
German cars are different than ours.德国造的汽车和我们的不一样。
You look different than before.你看上去跟从前不同了.

19. as和when引导的时间状语含义不同
（1）as表示"当……时""一面……一面"，"随着"。具体用法如下：
表示"当……时"、"和……同时"。常指从句的动作未结束，主句中的动作就已发生。从句中多用表示动作的动词，而不用be动词或表示感觉、理解、知道这类动词。
e.g.  As he stood there, he saw two men enter the bar.
She dropped the glass as she stood up.
1)用于平行的动作中，表示"一面……一面……"。常指一个主语同时进行两个动作。
e.g.  The students took notes as they listened.
2)用于平行发展的结构中，表示"随着……"。常指一个行为是另一个行为的结果，或一种状态随另一种状态变化。句中的动词多表示状态的发展变化。
e.g.   As the wind rose the noise increased.
As it grew darker it became colder.
As he grew older he became more confident.
(2)when表示“当……的时候”。从句中既可用延续性动词，又可用非延续性动词，这些动词既可以表示动作，又可表示状态。从句中的动作既可和主句的动作同时发生，又可在主句的动作之前或之后发生。
When I came into the room, I found him lying there asleep. <表示动作，主从动作同时发生>
Mary was having dinner when I saw her. <表示动作，主从动作同时发生>
When you meet a word you don't know, consult the dictionary. <表示动作，从句动作在前>
She was beautiful when she was a girl. <表示状态>
*：所以，when引导的仅仅是最单纯的时间状语，在要表示伴随含义的时候，用as比用when更为合适。

21. 关于Except的各种用法
1)except for: 用于非同类事物，它的宾语与前述对象完全是两回事。
例如： The room was very cold and, except for Jack, entirely empty.
这个房间很阴冷，而且除了杰克，完全是空荡荡的。
本句中，前述对象是"房间"，而除去的对象是"Jack"，两者毫无关系。
2)except:指同一类事物的总体中除去一部分，强调的是除去。
例如：He gets up early every day except Sunday.
除星期天外，他每天早起。
有时except与except for可以换用，例如： Except for(=except) John, the whole class passed the test. 全班同学除约翰外，全都通过了考试。
*：1.2.在GMAT中不适用，GMAT中并不讲究except与except for的区别，故删去。
3)except that表达的语意与except近似，只是后面要跟从句。
例： He has always been in good health except that he has had a slight headache in the past few days. 除了在过去几天里有些头痛之外，他身体一直很好。
4)but:常可与 except互换，强调"不在其中"。
例： Everyone attended the meeting but Mary.大家都出席了这次会议，但玛丽不在其列。
5)besides:强调"除此之外，还包括"。
例： She can speak French and Japanese besides English.除英语外，她还会讲法语和日语。
6)apart from:其含义主要依据上下文而定，有时可与except换用，有时可代替besides.
例： Apart from the coat, the hat doesn't suit me.除价钱太贵，这帽子也不适合我戴。

25. namely是的用法十分灵活：（=that is to say, along with）.它是副词，后面不能直接加句子
（1）补充说明前面离它最近的名词成分；e.g.: The other change, namely the increase in electronic equipment, has slowed down.
（2）补充说明句子主语；e.g.：One group of people seems to be forgotten, namely pensioners.
（3）namely后面跟从句解释前面的名词成分；e.g.: On the next trip, I solved part of the problem, but after discussing the situation with AB on the phone an alternative solution was at hand; namely, that from 1987 onwards I would spend my winters playing for Queensland.
