复习进度汇报－向760分努力

嗯, 想想还是把分写多点. 目标定高点. 争取一战就有好成绩. 

资料: OG11, 网上下载的其他资料若干

背景: 有不错的英文基础. 10多年前考过英文专业8级. 不过太久没考试了. 考英文和日常使用英文很不一样. 而且网上的经验, GMAT主要不是考英文, 和那些是考英文的考试很不一样. 是考思维能力. 目前在上班. 不过工作不算太忙, 上班时间也可以抽空复习. 家里有1岁女宝一个, 好在有老人帮忙带孩子做饭, 下班回家也可以有时间复习.

俺的宝宝

================================================

8月25

8月初开始复习. 现在已经把OG做完了. 差不多是按照考试的规定时间完成的, 每次75分钟的时间, 做一套V或者做一套Math. 做完就对答案, 然后把解释看一遍.

数学只做了OG的1/3. 感觉不难, 但是需要特别细心. 细心需要多练习应该不难达到, 所以现在重点复习V.

阅读, 需要细心. 需要看仔细内容. 做题过程中发现粗枝大叶看过之后就去答题, 效果不好. 花时间更多. 后来我都是比较仔细地看内容. 有大概地了解. 稍微细一点的也知道. 太细的先跳过. 然后看问题. 黄皮书一遍做下来平均错1/5

语法, 是王道. 也是比较容易复习的一部分. 中国人从小学英语都是在学语法, 应该是强项, 所以我的目标是尽量不错. 看到网上总结的经验, 语法错多了就会进低分题库. 不值得. 要好好提高. 这个短期内是可以认真学习好的. 好些题错了是主谓一致, 平行一致, 对比要一致, 这些最基本的都没瞧出来. 黄皮书一遍做下来平均错1/4 和我的目标差距大. 要下功夫.

从我目前做OG的经验来看, 语法里的错误选项如果拿不准的, 在99%的情况下, 都不止一个错误. 所以除了拿不准的考点, 注意看其他地方有无错误. 一般都是有的. 所以可以最终有把握地确认. 排除错误选项.

逻辑, 需要读懂题干. 看清问题问的是什么? 有些题答不上来, 结果是题干就没钻研明白. 有些题答错了因为题目的问法有点绕弯, 结果问的是weaken还是support没仔细看清楚.  黄皮书一遍做下来平均错1/7

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

从网上看到的经验, OG要一遍一遍地看熟摸透. 所以现在网上下载的其他资料还没开始看, 正从头看OG里的题, 每道题的解释. 中间有难度的题就在网上找参考. 难题毕竟不多, 看过OG的解释之后就差不多了. 以后不钻牛角尖死抠难题了. 经常在网上看一些经验, 下载一些资料.

对比OG-77与OG-85，关于ongoing action

77. Though the term “graphic design” may suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging work, from package designs and company logotypes to signs, book jackets, computer graphics, and film titles.

(A) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging

(B) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, it has come to signify a wide range of

(C) suggest corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified widely ranging

(D) have suggested corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified a wide range of（B）

(E) have suggested laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging

Choice A contains an agreement error: the term requires the singular it has in place of the plural they have. Furthermore

85. Out of America’s fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

(A) things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B) things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

(C) things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

(D) antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing（B）

(E) antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

have suggested完全不可能表达ongoing action, 因此选择（suggest）

相对于一般现在时（bring）, is bringing更好地表达了 ongoing action

相对于have suggested(完全不可能表达ongoing action), （suggest）可以表达ongoing action. 选项里没有 is suggesting 可选择. 根据语意来说, 正在suggesting说不通. 所以suggest这个词没有一般现在时这种时态!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

从我目前做OG的经验来看, 语法里的错误选项如果拿不准的, 在99%的情况下, 都不止一个错误. 所以除了拿不准的考点, 注意看其他地方有无错误. 一般都是有的. 所以可以最终有把握地确认. 排除错误选项.

the term 必须是 it, 排除AE 

have suggested完全不可能表达ongoing action, 因此排除 DE

B和C里只能选B

~~~~~~~~~~~

这个倒装句, 主语a market, 排除 have grown (AD), a market...that... that后面谓语必须是单数 排除A,C,D,E

Greatly influenced by the Protestant missionary Samuel Kirkland, the Oneida was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided with the colonists during the American Revolution.

(A) was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided

(B) was alone of the five-nation Iroquois League when they sided

(C) alone among the five nations of the Iroquois League sided

(D) were the only ones out of the five nations of the Iroquois League in siding

(E) only of the five-nation Iroquois League had sided

A)
the Oneida was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided with the colonists

here "who" 就近修饰 five-nation Iroquoise League.

5 nations sided colonists..
Oneida was only one nation sided colonists..

Statement contradicting itself...

Answer is C.

还有一个语法点：The French are a romantic people （ 法 國 人 是 個 性 情 浪 漫 的 民 族 ）这里要用复数。所以排除AB

由either … or, neither…nor, not only…but (also)连接先行词时候，如果两个先行词在数或性上不一致，人称代词一般与邻近的先行词在数和性上保持一致。

Neither the package nor the letters have reached their destination

Not only you but also he is wrong

当主语为复数形式，后跟each作同位语时，如果each位于动词之前，其后的代词或相应的限定词用复数形式；如果 each位于动词之后，其后的代词或相应的限定词用单数形式。

They each have two coats

由and连接两个先行词，谓语用复数
Few people know he and I were classmates when we were at college.

一般用and连接的两个单词或短语做主语时候，谓语用复数，但是下面用and连接的主语表示一个概念，谓语用单数：
　　law and order 法制 soap and water 肥皂水
　　a cup and saucer 茶杯碟子 fork and knife 刀叉
　　the needle and thread 针线 trial and error 反复尝试，不断摸索
　　horse and carriage 马车 time and tide 岁月
　　bread and butter 奶油面包 the ebb and flow 盛衰，潮涨潮落
If law and order is not preserved, neither the citizen nor his property is safe.

Time and tide waits for no man
Bread and butter is our daily food

　　Two weeks was too long
　　Five times five makes twenty five

表示学科和某些疾病名称的名词是复数形式，作主语时候谓语动词用单数形式
　　Linguistics is a branch of study on human language.

有些名词形式上是复数，意义上是单数，根据意义一致原则动词用单数
　　The chaos was stopped by the police

集体名词police, public, militia, cattle ,class ,youth后常用复数形式的动词
　　The Chinese people are brave and hardworking
　　The cattle are grazing in the sunshine

当表示民族的词与冠词合用当主语，谓语动词用复数形式
　　The Japanese were once very aggressive

某些形容词前面加定冠词表示一类人，做主语时候，谓语动词用复数
　　The rich are not always selfish

一些表示数量的短语与名词连用时候，谓语动词的数取决于名词的数，名词是复数，谓语动词用复数，反之就用单数。这些短语包括：a lot of /lots of; plenty of/heaps of; half of; two-third (three-fourth…) of; eighty(ten, twenty…) percent; part of; rest of ; none of 等等
　　Two-thirds of people present are women
　　Lots of damage was caused by the fire

集体名词作主语时，谓语动词的数取决于主语表示的意思和数，当表示整体时候，谓语动词就用单数，当强调集体中的个体时候，谓语动词就用复数。这些集体名词如：army, audience, band ,government ,group ,flock, police, public ,staff ,team ,troop. Crowd, firm, family 等等
　　The family is the basic unit of our society
　　The family were watching the TV
　　The audience was enormous
　　The audience were greatly moved at the words

某些固定结构中主语与谓语的数：
　　a number of + 可数名词复数 谓语用复数
　　the majority of + 可数名词复数 谓语用复数
　　the number of + 可数名词复数 谓语用单数

　　one and a half + 可数名词复数 谓语用单数

　　the greater part of
　　a large proportion of

　　one third of

　　the rest of
　　谓语的数与of 后面的名词一致

one of 名詞複數 +that+ 謂語複數；one of名詞複數 作主詞時，謂語單數（主詞為one）
