GMAT备考 | SC常考的特殊句式选项都挺对的?如何下手?
题目练习
准备好了吗?那就开始吧!
A long-term study of some 1,000 physicians indicates that the more coffee these doctors drank, the more they had a likelihood of coronary disease.
A. more they had a likelihood of coronary disease
B. more was their likelihood of having coronary disease
C. more they would have a likelihood to have coronary disease
D. greater was their likelihood of having coronary disease
E. greater was coronary disease likely
解题要点
NO.1 一
此句型中,提前的比较级通常有3种结构,
The+形容词比较级;
The+副词比较级;
The+形容词比较级+名词,SC通常不会考察结构的问题,会考察语义搭配,比如形容词修饰名词,副词修饰动词,形容词,或另一个副词,语义搭配是否合理。
NO.2 二
此句型“ 越… 越…”,前一个“the +比较级”相当于比较状语从句,后一个“the + 比较级”为主句。句式可以倒装,但是注意通常情况下,从句中的主语与谓语必须是正常语序,不能是倒装语序。主句可根据需要调整,既可采用正常语序,也可采用倒装语序。
例如:
The noisier they were, the happier was their mother.
The harder you work, the more progress you will get.
NO.3 三
此句型涉及一些省略规则:
1. 如果主、从句中的谓语动词是系动词be,而且主语非代词时,此时be常常省略。
例如:
The better the food (is), the more popular a restaurant gets.
The higher the tree (is), the stronger the wind (is).
The more exercise you take, the stronger you are.
(注意:此句中的系动词are不能省略)
2. 对于主句在前,从句在后的特殊情况,主句中形容词或副词前的the常常省略。
例如:
You practise (the) more, the better you can understand.
I knew him (the) more, the more I liked him.
3. 主、从句叙述的内容有重合,可适当省略,
例如:
The sooner (you finish it), the better (it will be).
The more (you know it), the more dangerous (it will be).
题目解析
A long-term study of some 1,000 physicians indicates that the more coffee these doctors drank, the more they had a likelihood of coronary disease.
A. more they had a likelihood of coronary disease
B. more was their likelihood of having coronary disease
C. more they would have a likelihood to have coronary disease
D. greater was their likelihood of having coronary disease
E. greater was coronary disease likely
解析:这题句式结构没有问题,主要考察语义搭配,ABCE选项语义搭配错误,greater是adj,更大的,与likelihood搭配,可能性更大;more副词,more likely,更可能的,故D选项正确。
方法总结
句法结构的规则性重要,但是不要忘记结合语义判断选项对错,语义永远是SC的核心哈。
