16.特别是语法 一度GWD错的较少 在4 5 个以内(俺不是NN) 这次看到的语法让我恶心的无语。。。有个in an american stepped in romanticism 还是in american 还有个add to 和 detract from的题 后者是在一个逗号之后考的 反正看到我就犯恶心了 哥几个 我题目真有点想不出来 反正很想吐 感觉那种一眼看出平行语法的没遇到几个。。。。。中间还遇到一道超简单的语法 觉得玩蛋死球 掉低分区了无奈心跳太快无法多想

TOP

15.语法遇到了一些破折号用法,there be句型的,重点很模糊,插入语从句考的比较多,颠覆了我对语法的一些看法。。。大家再好好看看这些吧

符号的内容,前面已提到。

there be句型,通常在GMAT中被认为时啰嗦不简洁的方式噢。当然也有例外,有人把所有正确的there be句型给大家总结。但是我在此就不给大家贴出来那些例外啦,免得混淆大家。

14.改错挺难的,我一道平衡题都没做到,但修饰语的题目有很多

回忆此语法点:修饰语

六、修饰语

(一)形容词和副词

1.形容词修饰名词或者代词,副词修饰除了名词和代词外,其余词均可修饰。

2. GMAT 考试中最长出现的修饰结构:

形容词+形容词+名词:在此结构中,两个形容词均修饰名词

副词+形容词+名词:在此结构中,副词修饰形容词,形容词修饰名词

Eg: James is Maxs supposed Irish ancestor. supposed修饰ancessor,表明j可能是,

也可能不是MAXancesstor.

Maxs grandmother is his supposedly Irish ancesstor.此处supposedly一定要用副词

形式,因为M 的奶奶肯定是M 的祖先,只是不知道是不是他的irish 祖先而已,因

此副词再次修饰形容词了。

常见的形容词+ly 变副词的词语: corresponding, frequent, independent, rare, recent,

seeming, aeperate, significant, supposed, usual.

(二)名词修饰语:形容词、介词短语,过去分词,不加逗号的现在分词,从

句,同位语

前置修饰是GMAT 中最常见的名词性修饰

Eg : Tired from chasing mice, the cat took a nap.

1.名词和其修饰语必须互相靠近,就近修饰;如果修饰语靠近另外一个名词,则

会产生误解。

Eg: Jim biked along an old dirt road to get to his house, which cut through the woods.

To get to his house, Jim biked along an old dirt road, which cut through the woods.

2.每一个名词修饰必须对应一个修饰对象,不能缺乏修饰对象

Resigned to the bad news, thare was no commotion in the office. Wrong

Resigned to the bad news , the office workers made no commotion. Right

3.避免一些列的修饰语修饰一个名词,让两个很长的修饰语修饰一个名词不好

最常见的模式就是:修饰语,修饰语, 主谓宾 必错

而一种常见容易弄错的情形是:修饰语,主语+定语从句,谓宾,这种是对的

另外一种:修饰语,定语从句,主语,修饰语,谓语宾语,这种也对,但少见

注意=:动词修饰语不像名词修饰语,不需要贴近其修饰的主语。

另外,要注意所有格形式,这种形式经常会出现修饰错误,特别注意抽象名词

Eg: Only in the past century has origami’s development, a ceremonial activity

invented millennia ago, into a true art form taken place.此句中,后句不是句子而是一个修

饰结构,由于靠近development,通常会被我们误认为是修饰development.

(三)名词修饰与从句

Which(修饰物),that(不能修饰人), who /whom(修饰人)whoese, where, when

Who: 一般修饰主语; whom: 一般修饰宾语

That/whom:修饰的成分是宾语的时候,是可以省略的

Where: 只能修饰具体的地点, 对于一些虚拟的, condition,

situation,case,circumstance, arrangement,要用in which 修饰好点

When: 可以修饰一个名词时间或时间,如period, age, 1987, decade, 也可以用in

which修饰

限制性名词修饰:无逗号隔开的,用that;

非限制性名词修饰:有逗号隔开的,用which

(四)动词修饰:副词,介词短语,从属结构

从属结构,通过because, although, if, while, so that, while 修饰,有两个重要考点:

1. 主谓语宾要全,因为毕竟是一个句子

2. 不能单独形成一个完整的句子,必须依附于一个主句。

(五)which 和现在分词

1.Which 必须紧跟其修饰的名词,which不能修饰一个句子

2.ing 形式做修饰语

1)做形容词,直接修饰名词

2)可以修饰主语和动词

3)可以修饰一个从句(此时主句若转化为同意名词,这个名词可作为ing

的主语),这种形式就是常见的ing 表示结果的结构。

4ing 形式在主系表结构中,可以修饰其前面紧跟的名词

5ing 形式在主谓宾结构之后,可以表示与谓语动词同时发生,表伴随,此

时其逻辑主语就是主句的主语。

13.语法:具体题目记不得了,多关注平行结构和比较结构!!其他什么单复数,时态的再放进去考虑基本就能选出来了。
回忆此语法点:平行和比较 (详见前面的笔记)+自己回忆下自己的做题思路 (前面也有提过曼哈顿中的思路,供参考)

TOP

12.SC 我靠我觉得我做得水的一腿,基本全是短划线的额,

1)有一题是选“,which。。。”或者“including。。。”;

2)还有one ,they,这些代词使用的选择,反正题目都超级奇

回忆此预发点:代词

代词 GMAT中最常见的考点,每次见到介词的时候都应检查指代是否清晰。

(一)先行词必须存在

注意有些名词是作为形容词,所有格在用,这样的名词不能做为先行词;名词作

为先行词的条件是该名词一定要具备名词功能。

Eg: The park rangers discussed measures to prevent severe wildfires, which would be

devastating to it. It无指代对象,因为park 在此处是形容词。

(二)先行词和代词并同时有意义

将代词换为先行词,该句子必须还是有意义,说的通

Eg: Although the term”super”may sound wonderful, it is simply and machine that can

produce many products at one. 此处,it指代就有问题,因为super怎么能是机器呢?

(三)代词的指代必须清晰

每一个代词都只能有一个清晰的先行词,如有多个的话,指代是模糊的。

(四)代词和先行词的单复数必须一致

(六)几个要点

1.this, that, these, those 在句子中不能裸奔,必须用作this/that/those/these+n 的结

构才能做代词使用,而这个名词则是能体现先行词性质的词。(this, those, that and

these are never used as a stand-alone pronoun wihout a noun following)

EGNewnano-papersincoporate fibers that give these materials strength.

2.that those 可以表明一个新的copy 关于先行词的,避免重复。

Eg: The money spent by her parents is more than that spent by her children.

3.thathose 表明新copy 的时候一定前后完全一致(包括单复数),否则需要重

复先行词。

EgHer company is outperforming those of her competitors. 错,thosecompany不一

致,应将those替换为companies.

11.语法感觉不难,语法点都很清晰。但有几道题还是有小圈套,不是按语法排除的。

1)比如有一题,是As an activist before becoming a lawyer, 某某人做了什么。这个表达是错的。

2)有一题考了分号和and连用。我认为正确答案形式是a, b and c; d, e and f; and g, h and i. manhattan有个例句。

3)还有一题,maypossible

4)还有一题很简单 seeking------, ________. 划线部分的主语只有一个是市政府官员,其它都是文件啊,措施啊之类的,立刻能选出答案。

5)还有一个类似的,_______ , 某某建筑物怎样怎样。有三个很明显是错的。另外两个是situated in some placepositioned in some place. 不知道这两个哪个对,或者都对。

回忆此语法点:As an activist before becoming a lawyer, 某某人做了什么。这个表达是错的。

As结构成为正确答案

在这样的情况下,as是作为连词出现的。既然是连词就只能带一个句子。但是由于as所带的句子与主句有很多相同的地方,所以可以使用加助动词省略的形式成为正确答案。比如:

A do ***, as B do

A can *** as B can

A is *** as B and C are

补出助动词的原则是必须和主句的类型一致,而且要时态一致。

但是如果某个as结构自己就带了时间状语,那么该as结构的时态和自己带的状语保持一致,而类型和主句保持一致。

A do *** as B did ten years ago.

回忆此预发点:有一题考了分号和and连用。我认为正确答案形式是a, b and c; d, e and f; and g, h and i. manhattan有个例句。

1、一个正确的句子至少有一个主句:有完整的主谓结构,且不以because or if结尾;

逗号不足以连接两个句子。

2and GMAT 考试总最重要的连词,它可以连接多个名词,或多个结构相同成

分或者句子,注意and连接的前后成分一定要是并列的。

3、一次只能用一个连词,如since, so不能同时用, although, yet不能同时用。

4、并列连词:and, but, or, for, nor, yet, so;从属连词,although, because, before, after, since,

when, if , unless, that, though, while

(二)标点符号:逗号,分号,破折号,冒号

1、一个主语发出的两个动作间,不用逗号。

2、分号后经常跟一些链接副词(注意这些词不是真正的连词,不能用逗号替代分号),

however, therefore, in addition.

3、冒号,对前面提出的信息起补充说明作用,冒号前的句子一定要能独立成句;需

要解释说明的成分一定要离解释成分近一点。

4、破折号,用的比较广泛,破折号有双的,也有单的

             ----原版来自曼哈顿语法pp187195

回忆此预发点: maypossible

两者同时出现会产生重复

og例题:但是讨论的是perhapsmaybe,大家凑合看

4. Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept

through history, maybe none is more concentrated as

the wave that brought 12 million immigrants onto

American shores in little more than three decades.

(A) maybe none is more concentrated as

(B) it may be that none is more concentrated as

(C) perhaps it is none that is more concentrated

than

(D) maybe it is none that was more concentrated

than

(E) perhaps none was more concentrated than

正确答案E

回忆此语法点:_______ , 某某建筑物怎样怎样。有三个很明显是错的。另外两个是situated in some placepositioned in some place. 不知道这两个哪个对,或者都对。

区别一下situatedpositioned v-ed形式分词)

摘自《牛津高阶》

situate尤其用于被动语态,表示“使(建筑物或者城镇)建于或者坐落于某处”

例句:The company wants to situate its headquarters in the north.

position 当动词讲时,表示 1)“将(某物)放在(某一)位置上; 2)找出或者标出某物的位置

例句:position the aerial for the best reception 把天线安装在接收器上


They were able to position the yacht by means of radar
他们能够用雷达测定快艇的位置。

从上面的解释来看,我个人认为,选择situated更合适,因为有坐落在~的意思。

9.(在此特别感谢一下lestatwm,那脑子太好使啦)

1) 果不出我所料, 考到了以 unlike 开头的句子, 先说了一种树, Unlike...(tree)...选项中有以 evergreen 做主语的, 有以 animals 做主语的, 大家自己判断

2) 一个神马东东 recommend that..., 考虚拟

ABC选项均由 be tied to proof that 开头,

D. is tied to proof that

E. ties to proof that

3) 还有一个, 也是ETS几乎必出的题目类型: 比较. 我遇到的这个原理有点像如下原题:

Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.

A. movies—less than those

B. movies—fewer than have been

C. movies, which is less than those

D. movies, a number lower than the people

E. movies, fewer than the ones

回忆此语法点:unlike开头的比较

以一道og的题目为例,越简单的题目越是精华啊~

20. As contrasted with the honeybee, the yellow jacket

can sting repeatedly without dying and carries a

potent venom that can cause intense pain.

(A) As contrasted with the honeybee,

(B) In contrast to the honeybee’s,

(C) Unlike the sting of the honeybee,

(D) Unlike that of the honeybee,

(E) Unlike the honeybee,

正确答案:E

这个题目很容易选出来,大家复习到这个阶段了,肯定都知道unlike AB~。名词与名词之间的比较。这个与用as(后面要加完整的主谓结构)的比较,大家都能分清的吧。

借这个题目,重点说下,为什么其它的选项不对?

A -固定搭配错

B -比较事物不平等

C -同上

D -同上

总结下正确的“有对比比较”性质的固定搭配:

1 in contrast with X, Y~~~

2 in contrast to X, Y~~~

3 unlike XY~~

4contrary to XY~~

要注意 34都有很坚决的表示:与X不同,Y怎么怎么样

但是12都只是在比较:与X比较起来,Y怎么样 说明XY不一定完全不同 只是比较哪个更怎么样

回忆此语法点:recommend的虚拟

来一道og上的题目

54.The report recommended that the hospital should

eliminate unneeded beds, expensive services

should be consolidated, and use space in other

hospitals.

(A)should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive

services should be consolidated, and use space

in other hospitals

(B)should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive

services should be consolidated, and other

hospitals' space be used

(C)should eliminate unneeded beds, expensive

services should be consolidated, and to use

space in other hospitals

(D)eliminate unneeded beds, consolidate expensive

services, and other hospitals' space used

(E)eliminate unneeded beds, consolidate expensive

services, and use space in other hospitals

正确答案E

总结下宾语从句中的虚拟语气:看到哪些词,后面的动词用原型呢?

1)表建议:advocate / advise / move / recommend that..... do...; sb. suggest / propose that.....do..

2)
表命令:order / decree / mandate / command / demand that.....do.....

3)
表要求:request / require / insist that.....do...; sth. require of sb. that....do....

切记以下动词后的宾从不用虚拟啊~

allow that rule that sth propose that sth suggest that

回忆此语法点:究竟什么东西在比较??

借助og上第18

Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi,
in the form of carbon dioxide, and converting it to energy-rich sugars.

(A) Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon

than are fungi,
不符合后面要修饰的东西

(B) Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon

than fungi,
同上+than前后比较对象变成acquiring carbon vs fungi

(C) Plants are more efficient than fungi at acquiring

carbon,

(D) Plants, more efficient than fungi at acquiring

carbon,
缺少v

(E) Plants acquire carbon more efficiently than fungi, 同B than前后比较对象变成acquire carbon vs acquire fungi (仔细体会)

正确答案C

这里给大家放个大知识点,也是摘录的,总结比较详细,就是有点多,大家选择着看。

比较总结

总结一下关于比较的结构考点

对主谓宾全的句型

主语比较:
A do sth
than B do.AB为对等名词,加do是为了显示这是一个可以发出动作的名词,因而确定是主语,进而确定是主语对比)

介宾比较 A do sth of C1 by D1 than of C2 by D2.C1C2D1D2对等名词)

宾语比较 A do C1 than C2.(C1C2为对等名词)

状语比较A do sth than usual/everbefore/people expected(直接加状语)

按照这个原理,对下一种句型只有主谓,没有宾语的句子,因为没有宾语,只可能有主语比较,因而不需要重复do来确认这是一个可发出动作的主语,所以其比较形式如下:

I eat faster than you.注意与下句区别

I eat apple faster than you do

如果写成 I eat apple faster than you ETS的理解,从语法上就变成我吃苹果比吃你快,成了宾语比较。逻辑上显然不通。

补充NN总结的more/ less/ adj+er than语法点:

(1)主语比较

1.1
than前若有宾语,则其后的助词需补出,时态要据后定。主语相同可省

eg:The pay of senior executives increased in 1990 by a larger percentage than did the wages of other salaried workers.

eg:As a result of the continuing decline in the birth rate, fewer people will enter the labor force in the 1980’s than did in the 1960’s and 1970’s, a twenty-year period during which people born after the war swelled the ranks of workers. (主语people相同且无定语成分则省之,但did不能省)

eg:Several studies have found that the coronary patients who exercise most actively are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack.(主语相同且有定语成分,必须要that/those来指代)

1.2
than前只有BE + ADJ,则其后的主语无须补助词。

eg:Even though Bela Bartok’s music has proved less popular than Igor Stravinsky’s and less influential than Arnold Schonberg’s, it is no less important.

eg:In 1982 the median income for married-couple families with a wage-earning wife was $9,000 more than that for families in which only the husband was employed.

1.3 than前有两个动词,比较主语无须补助词。

eg:A study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture showed that if calves exercise and associate with other calves, they have require less medication and gain weight more quickly than those raised in confinement.

(2)than后名词前的介词要补出

eg: Aging is a property of all animals that reach a fixed size at maturity, and the variations in life spans among different species are far greater than those among individuals of the same species: a fruit fly is ancient at 40 days, a mouse at 3 years, a horse at 30, a man at 100, and some tortoises at 150. 介宾的比较。

eg:The investor who is uncertain about the future is more likely to put money into blue-chip stocks or treasury bills than into gold.

eg:Nowhere in Prakta is the influence of modern European architecture more apparent than in its government buildings.(倒装句)

(3)宾语比较,一般加that/those

eg:In addition to having more protein than wheat does, rice has protein of higher quality than that in wheat, with more of the amino acids essential to the human diet. (B-p106-19)

(4)宾语补语,比较结构修饰宾语,无须补出助词;

eg:In his eagerness to find a city worthy of Priam, the German archaeologist Schliemann cut through Troy and uncovered a civilization a thousand years more ancient than the city known to Homer’s heroes.

(5)likely引导的表语比较

eg:St. John’s , Newfoundland, lies on the same latitude as Paris, France, but in spring St. John’s residents are less likely to be sitting at outdoor cafes than to be bracing themselves against arctic chills, shovelling snow, or seeking shelter from a raging northeast storm.

(6)宾语+介词混合结构:

eg:Although Napoleon’s army entered Russia with far more supplies than for any previous campaign, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

(7)句子的比较

eg:In Japan elderly people are treated with far greater respect than they are in most Western countries.

eg:Dr. Hakuta’s research among Hispanic children in the United States indicates that the more the children use both Spanish and English, the greater their intellectual advantage in skills underlying reading ability and nonverbal logic. (B-p106-7)

(8) than ever, than anticipated/ estimated…

eg:The report on the gross national product—the nation’s total production of goods and services—showed that second-quarter inflation was somewhat lower than previously estimated and that the savings rate was slightly higher.

(9) more than, less than 及其他。

视同副词

eg:Founded in 1983, the magazine has since more than doubled its circulation and its advertising.

视同形容词

eg: No less an authority than Walter Cronkite has reported that half of all Americans never read a book.

(10) 插入语

eg: The visiting pharmacologists concluded that the present amalgam of Chinese and Western medicine is probably as good as, or better than, any other system that might be devised for the patients treated at the Nan Kai hospital in Tian-jing.

*首先咱们分析下可能的考点,由于题目不是完整的,我们只能猜测,所以大家看这个整理的时候,还是我原来的那句话,看大框架。咱们不求遇到原题,只求看透考点。
(1)出现and,可能会考什么呢?
-如果and前面没有逗号:两个并列短语连接 (详细参见上面总结过的并列原则,仔细什么和什么可以并列,什么和什么不能并列)
-如果and前面有逗号:a)也有可能仍是并列短语连接,只不过中间加了插入语
                                       b)三个或者三个以上并列短语连接:A,B,and C
                                       c)两个句子连接:句子1,and+句子2 (这两个句子主语可以是一致的,而且句子2中的主句可以或者大多数是代词,因为要考虑到避免重复啰嗦的原则;两个句子主语也可以是不同的,这时绝对不能用代词啊,不仅句子2主语不能用代词,句子2后面的内容里出现代词也要小心噢,回头看看,有没有指代不清的问题!)

(2)狗主人给的狗狗选项里出现:句子,v-ing现在分词~~~这种结构,那么我们也捎带复习下分词的内容吧。
           a)提到分词,少不了要考虑逻辑主语的问题,判断规律如下:
1) v-ing/v-ed分词短语在句首起状语作用,逻辑主语等于句子的主语
2) v-ing在句尾:
(a)表伴随动作,状态,功能,与句子谓语动作同时发生,逻辑主语等于句子主语
(b)表伴随结果,整个句子是原因,导致分词动作产生,无逻辑主语。可以在分词前面加thus,thereby,in effect等,也可不加
3) v-ed在句尾,优先就近做定语,修饰就近名词
4) 介词或者介词短语+v-ing:比如 in addition to/in/by/without/besides+doing,句子~。
(a)在句首,逻辑主语=句子主语
(b)在句尾,可能为句子主语,也可能不是
                                    
                                                               ——————————摘自《白勇语法全解》
此题中,分词v-ing在句末,直接考虑2)。切记v-ing在句末,不存在修饰临近名词的情况噢。因为这个问题经常看到筒子们问诶~。切记这四条,应该不会判断错。

例题比如OG12-025/026
25题这个是属于v-ing分词在句首得情况噢~
25 Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, “the good goddess.”

(A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers,     v-ed修饰主语,不符合逻辑
(B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts,     it指代问题
(C) With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis,  with的用法在这里不符合逻辑,for a basis这种表达太繁琐
(D) By the accounts of various ancient writers they used, 同上
(E) Using accounts of various ancient writers,

正确答案:E


26题属于v-ing分词在句末得情况~
26 Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

(A) Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering     outnumber分词不合适,详细看右面解释
(B) Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber     and前后不平行+outnumber作为第二个出现的动词前面缺少连词
(C) Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886 and outnumbering   and前后结构不对称+缺少v
(D) Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering      缺少v+改变原意
(E) Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

正确答案:E

再来个prep上面得
181 The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, doubling the increase of the previous year.  

A. doubling the increase of  正确选项
B. doubling that of the increase in  我当时选的,但是错误的地方在于that没有指代,自己没有搞清楚,分词要修饰的对象。
C. double as much as the increase of
D. twice as many as the increase in  不能用many修饰increase,这里increase不是可数的,它可以被当作一个代词
E. twice as many as the increase of  同上

附上我当时做题思考分词时候得思路。
首先答案锁定在A/B
doubling分词在句末,作伴随状语或者目的状语
如果是伴随,其伴随对象是谓语rose。所以意思就是这个sharply的rose使得increase(名词)翻倍。
如果是目的,其表达的是整个句子sth rose sharply这整个行为产生的结果,那么肯定是使得上升翻倍。



(3)狗主人提醒说要复习succeed的用法:
succeed in sth
succeed in doing sth 固定搭配
                                                              ——————————摘自《牛津高阶》
我在语法版搜到一个题目跟succeed有关,而且有点小难度,跟并列也有关系,拿出来给大家看看。
Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have succeeded for the first time in mining heat from the Earth's interior and producing energy on a commercial scale, enough for efficient generation of electricity and heating factories and homes.  

(A) and producing energy on a commercial scale, enough for efficient generation of electricity and heating  

(B) and producing enough energy on a commercial scale for electricity to be generated efficiently and to heat  

(C) for energy production on a commercial scale, enough for generating electricity efficiently and to heat  

(D) to produce energy on a commercial scale, enough for generating electricity efficiently and for heating  

(E) to produce enough energy on a commercial scale for efficient generation of electricity and heat

答案:D

很多人的疑惑在于,succeeded in mining and producing不是很整齐的平列而且又符合固定搭配么?为什么要选D中的succeeded in mining and to produce呢?

NN1回答:至于你说的问题,我觉得不应该是本题的考点,我觉得要抓住题目的本质哦!
如果你真要想通这个的话,我是这样想的:
Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have succeeded for the first time in mining heat from the Earth's interior and producing energy on a commercial scale, enough for efficient generation of electricity and heating factories and homes.  
你看,虽然此句是平行的,但是后面还有一个后置定语enough for efficient generation of electricity and heating factories and homes.  
那么这个时候这个后置定语是修饰两个动词的mining和producing
而读句子后会发现,这enough for efficient generation of electricity and heating factories and homes. 的后置定语是修饰to to produce energy on a commercial scale这句话的,只有energy才能
for generating and for heating  
因此必须用to do的形式将mining和produce分开!

再有一个例子
Applying a new method for analyzing the chemistry of tooth enamel, scientists have examined molars of prehuman ancestors and determined that their diets were more varied than had been supposed.
你看在句子后面并没有附加任何的成分,所以这样用that链接是完全可以的!不会有任何修饰上的歧义呢!

NN2回答:如果不用to produce而是用and producing的话,那么producing只能跟mining并列,也就是have succeeded for the first time in producing energy on a commercial scale,显然不符合实际,energy的量产早就通过别的方式,不仅仅mining heat就已经达到了,所以这里mining heat的目的就是to produce energy,要用不定式.
回顾此语法点:嵌入式关系分句

这个点也是N人一大把一大把的在解释,我不多说了,就直接找个帖子外加例题,给不明白的同学扫个盲啦~其实很多时候,我们不一定非要知道什么是嵌入式关系分句,我们只要知道做题时怎么办就好,所以不懂的筒子也别紧张啊,说不定你潜意识是知道这个点的,就是不知道它的术语罢了。

OG12-118. The world wildlife fund has declared that global warming, a phenomenon most scientsts agree to be caused by human begings in burning fossil fuels, will create havoc among migratory birds by altering the enviroment in ways harmful to their habitats.

a) A phenomenon most scientists agree to be caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels,
b) a phenomenon most scientists agree that is caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings,
c) a phenomenon that most scientists agree is caused by human beings' burning of fossil fuels
d) which most scientists agree on as phenomenon caused by human beings who burn fossil fuels,
e)        which most scientsts agree to be a phenomenon caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings

正确答案:c

查了很多贴(国内和国外),对C选项的解释都是半斤八两,看得我一头雾水!(为什么一个定语从句里有两个动词agree和is)

一个普遍的误读是:说most scientists agree 是插入语,虽然是没加逗号!(此解释绝对是误人子弟!!!)

今天我翻遍章振邦的《新编英语语法》,在1193—1395页赫然发现一个语法词条——嵌入式关系分句,详解如下:

“有一种关系分句(即定语从句),它既是先行项的后置修饰语(即定语),同时又是另外一个分句结构的宾语(即宾语从句)”此分句结构就被嵌入在定语从句中,即嵌入式关系分句。

该书举例:In his breast-pocket he had a patch of scarlet, which i suppose was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief.

注意两点:1)从句which was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 首先是 patch of scarlet的定语从句。

               2)从句which(patch of scarlet) was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 也是i suppose 的宾语从句,即I suppose (that)the patch of scarlet was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 。

综上所述,但一个定语从句同时是另一个主谓结构的宾语从句是,就可以写为嵌入式关系分句。
