1、Chapter 1 SC Basics .1 Chapter 2 GRAMMAR, MEANING, CONCISION.1 Chapter 3 SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT .2 Chapter 4 PARALLELISM .4 Chapter 5 PRONOUNS.6 Chapter 6 MODIFIERS.7 Chapter 7 Verb tense , mood, 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。 这两个结构的意思是不一样的,要通过作者的意思来选择。如:Wrong: James Joyce is Maxs SUPPOSEDLY Irish
2、 ancestor.Right: James Joyce is Maxs SUPPOSED Irish ancestor.在这个句子里James Joyce不一定是Max的ancestor,但James Joyce一定是爱尔兰人。 所以选择用supposed去修饰名词ancestor。 Wrong: Maxs grandmother is his SUPPOSED Irish ancestor.Right : Maxs grandmother is his SUPPOSEDLY Irish ancestor.在这句里,问题变成了Maxs grandmother是不是爱尔兰人,而不是grandm
3、other是不 是Max的ancestor。所以这里应该选择supposedly修饰Irish。 3、名词修饰语目的在于告诉你更多关于被修饰名词的信息,或者说明句子具体讨论的是哪 一个名词。作用就像是一个长的形容词,前一两个单词决定它的词性。 修饰语与被修饰名词:Type/first word位置Example形容词 名词前 名词后The LAZY cat took a nap. The cat, LAZY form overeating, took a nap. 介词名词前 名词后On the couch, the cat took a nap. The cat ON the couch t
4、ook a nap. 过去分词名词前 名词后The TIRED cat took a nap. The cat, TIRED from chasing mice, took a nap. 现在分词名词前 名词后The sleeping cat took a nap. The cat sleeping on the rug is named “sue”. 关系代词名词后The grey cat, WHICH loves tuna, took a nap. The cat THAT lives next door is noisy. A person WHO lives next door is
5、noisy. The city WHERE I live is noisy. 其它名词名词前 名词后A LOVER of mice, my cat hunts night and day, The cat, a TABBY raised on a farm, took a nap. 4、一个修饰其它名词的名词,叫做同位语。如表里的最后一个例子。Prep08中的解释: 同位语:同位语由unrestricted adjectival phrase而来,同位语的修饰对象:名词或 名词短语或代词 同位结构的特征同位结构的特征 a)起修饰语的作用,一般用于修饰名词或名词短语;同位语解释的是整个名词,不是
6、 名短中某个词,故同位语不是核心词修饰。 b)必须对其修饰对象具有解释力; c)位置:名词前或名词后,一般在修饰对象的后面; d)不影响主谓一致(谓语应该和主语保持一致,而不是和同位语) ; e)同位结构中名词的数可以和其修饰对象的数不一致。 同位结构的形式同位结构的形式 1)名词性同位语:名词解释名词。 (以下三种,第二个n.后可以跟修饰词)i.N., n.; ii.n., a/an + n.或a/an + n., n.; iii.the + n., n.(前面的the + n 为同位结构) 2)内容具体化同位结构:抽象名词(theory/evidence/belief/principle)
7、+that 从句, that从句对抽象名词进行具体化解释(注意与of 结构的区别),that从句部分才是同 位语。(that是小品词,连词,和一般的名词性that分句中的that一样) 3)概括性同位语:用一个概括性的名词去概括前面的修饰对象:短语/句子,n. + that / doing / done. 5、前置修饰是GMAT 中最常见的名词性修饰,如:Tired from chasing mice, the cat took a nap.由于平常在口语中很少使用前置修饰,gmat考试中喜欢在前置修饰中使用tricks。如用 现在分词造成dangling modifier。 6、靠近原则:T
8、ouch Rule: 名词和其修饰语必须互相靠近,就近修饰(但动词修饰不用互 相靠近) ;如果修饰语靠近另外一个名词,则会产生误解。如: Wrong: Jim biked along an old dirt road to get to his house, which cut through the woods. Right: To get to his house, Jim biked along an old dirt road, which cut through the woods. 7、如果名词修饰所修饰的词不在句子里,即缺乏修饰对象,会造成Dangling Modifier。 如
9、:Wrong: Resigned to the bad news, there was no commotion in the office.Wrong: There was no commotion in the office, resigned to the bad news.Right: Resigned to the bad news, the office workers made no commotion.Prep08 的解释:DANGLING MODIFIER: When we begin a sentence with a modifying word, phrase, or
10、clause, we must make sure the next thing that comes along can, in fact, be modified by that modifier. When a modifier improperly modifies something, it is called a “dangling modifier.“ This often happens with beginning participial phrases, making “dangling participles“ an all too common phenomenon.
11、In the sentence below, we cant have a car changing its own oil. Confusion: Changing the oil every 3,000 miles, the car seemed to run better. Repair Work: Changing the oil every 3,000 miles, Fred found he could get much better gas mileage. *: An infinitive phrase can also “dangle.“ The infinitive phr
12、ase below should probably modify the person(s) who set up the exercise program.Confusion: To keep the young recruits interested in getting in shape, an exercise program was set up for the summer months. Repair Work: To keep the young recruits interested in getting in shape, the coaching staff set up
13、 an exercise program for the summer months. 8、避免一系列的修饰语修饰同一个名词。将2个很长的修饰语同时放在名词前或名词后, 容易造成笨拙和错误。如:Wrong: George Carlin, both shocking and entertaining audiences across the nation, who also struggled publicly with drug abuse, influenced and inspired a generation of comedians.Right: Both shocking and e
14、ntertaining audiences across the nation, George Carlin influenced and inspired a generation of comedians, even as he struggled publicly with drug abuse. 9、注意所有格。所有格形式经常会出现修饰错误。如:Wrong: Unskilled in complex math, Bills score on the exam was poor.这个句子中,不应该是Bills score unskilled。而应该是Bill.Wrong: Only in the past century has origamis development, a ceremonial activity invented millennia ago, into a true art form taken place. 在这个句子中,development会被误认为是a ceremonial ac
