sentence correction从字面来看就是改正句子。要注意它给我们的原句有可能是正确的也可能是错误的,不能觉得A选项是原句正确率就比较高。GMAC为什么会出这样一种题型呢?一般商科类的研究生大家以后都会去从事相关的工作,在之后的职场当中我们要与合作伙伴领导同事沟通,在这个沟通过程当中我们需要用的文字必须表达清晰明了。不能长篇大论让别人抓不住重点,也不能说的话简短表达不够清晰有歧义,这样往往会造成工作效率不高。所以sc这个题型考察的就是美式标准书面语,它的要求是简洁无歧义。
句子改错的基本构成就是基础语法加上逻辑语义。虽然我们强调的是你想考高分一定是句意为王,但是sc是一个自适应的考试,如果基础语法不过关,你也走不上通往高分的桥梁。对有些高中就在国外读书的学生来说语法真是令人头大。所以语法基础不好的同学要记住,开始准备sc的时候你得知道什么是句子结构,简单的修饰成分有哪些也是要知道的。一个长句子给你你需要快速拎出主干,看看主干逻辑语义在说些什么,然后看看修饰有没有修饰正确。
如果本身语法基础好的同学,在刚接触的时候可能句法结构是没有什么太大的问题的。但是很多时候会发现通过语法错误你只能排除一到两个选项,那么剩下的几个选项语法都没问题了我们怎么去选出正确的选项呢?我们来看一道题目: Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, are now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows and how babies acquire language.A.Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, are
B.Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood over the past twenty years, and are
C.Neuroscientists amassing a wealth of knowledge about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood over the past twenty years, and are
D.Neuroscientists have amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood,
E. Neuroscientists have amassed, over the past twenty years, a wealth of knowledge about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood
先看原句的主干,是neuroscientists are drawing ...句法结构合理,having...做插入语修饰 neuroscientists BC选项可以通过句法结构排除;DE选项主干变换主干,句法结构都没有大问题,这个时候我们应该怎么办呢?我们需要依照默认原句合理的逻辑语义是正确的这句话,原句语义合理的情况下原句优先,所以原句就是正确的。
其实之后做难的题目也是。SC就像一个游戏,你只要掌握了游戏规则,你就能把这个游戏玩好。如果想要正确率高,语法和语义结合才是王道。今天我们的SC就浅谈到这里,如果有兴趣的同学可以来雷哥网进一步了解!
