2015年gmat考試押題試卷及答案(一)
1. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
(A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
(B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
(C) in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
答案解析如下:
(A)that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
【正確】 “that ”引導的從句作同位語正確地修飾了“confidence”,敘述了“信息”的具體內容,過去完成時的“had feared”與“earlier in the year(今年更早些時候)”語義搭配合理。
【大意】 根據一些分析師的說法,股票市場的`利得反映了正在增長的信心:經濟將避免早些時候人們擔憂的衰退並達到一個由商業活動逐漸增加跟隨着的“軟着陸”。
(B)in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
【錯誤1】 平行結構:有日常邏輯可知,“to avoid the recession”和“to come”本意上應是平行的,但兩個平行的對象不能僅僅用“rather”一個詞連接。
【錯誤2】 固定搭配:不存在“confidence in X to do sth.”表達“對X做某事有信心”的用法。
(C)in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
【錯誤】 平行結構:有日常邏輯可知,“to avoid the recession”和“to come”本意上應是平行的,但兩個平行的對象不能僅僅用“rather”一個詞連接。
(D)in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
【錯誤1】 動詞時態:“many were fearing”遜於過去完成時的“had feared”,因爲“had feared”和“earlier in the year”更加搭配——今年更早些時候,屬於“過去的過去”。
【錯誤2】 固定搭配:見(B)中【錯誤2】。
(E)that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
【錯誤1】 動詞時態:類似地,見(D)中【錯誤1】。
【錯誤2】 簡潔明瞭:在GMAT考察的標準書面英語中,主動句簡潔性優於被動句,因此“that was feared”簡潔性遜於(A)中“that many had feared”。
【最優解題思路推薦】
(C)中兩個本應平行的“to do”結構沒有“and”連接,排除,不存在“confidence in X to do sth.”表達“對X做某事有信心”的用法,排除(B)、(D)。
(A)比(B)相對簡潔,因此選擇(A)。
2. The automotive conveyor-belt system, which Henry Ford modeled after an assembly-line technique introduced by Ransom Olds, reduced from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T.
(A) from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T
(B) the time being required to assemble a Model T, from a day and a half down to 93 minutes
(C) the time being required to assemble a Model T, a day and a half to 93 minutes
(D) the time required to assemble a Model T from a day and a half to 93 minutes
(E) from a day and a half to 93 minutes, the time required for the assembling of a Model T
答案解析如下:
(A)from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T
【錯誤】 簡潔明瞭:在GMAT語法題中表達同一個意思時,簡潔性從高到低依次爲動詞、形容詞和副詞、一般名詞、動名詞(簡稱VANing原則:V——verb,A——adj.或adv.,N——noun,ing——動名詞),所以“the required time of assembling”相比 (D)中“time required to assemble”較不簡潔。
(B)the time being required to assemble a Model T, from a day and a half down to 93 minutes
【錯誤】 簡潔明瞭:“time being required”中的“being”完全是多餘的。
(C)the time being required to assemble a Model T, a day and a half to 93 minutes
【錯誤】 簡潔明瞭:類似地,見(B)。
(D)the time required to assemble a Model T from a day and a half to 93 minutes
【正確】 “required to assemble”的簡潔性優於其他使用“being required”和“assembling”的選項。
【大意】 自動傳送帶系統,一種Henry Ford對Ransom Olds引入的流水線技術的模仿,將組裝T型車需要的時間從一天半較少到93分鐘。
(E)from a day and a half to 93 minutes, the time required for the assembling of a Model T
【錯誤】 簡潔明瞭:類似地,見(A)。
【最優解題思路推薦】
本題是少有的簡潔性解題原則極爲有效的例題。(D)沒有任何錯誤,而(A)、(B)、(C)、(E)各存在不簡潔的地方,因此選擇(D)。
