78.Although dozens of New York’s small museums are either devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, there are many one-of-a-kind museums from Manhattan to the Bronx that are open for exploration on summer weekends.
(A) Although dozens of New York’s small museums are either devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, there are
(B) Although dozens of New York’s small museums are devoted to local history or various ethnic groups,
(C) Dozens of New York’s small museums are devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, but there are
(D) Dozens of New York’s small museums are devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, and there are also
(E) Devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, dozens of New York’s small museums and also

答案是D...不過我選A,請問是因為語意的關係嗎??

80.Although films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills, in reality these gregarious creatures live in stable groups that occupy the same territory for long periods.
(A) films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills
(B) in films about the American West coyotes are depicted to be solitary animals that howl mournfully on the tops of distant hills
(C) coyotes are depicted as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills in films about the American West
(D) films about the American West depict coyotes as if they were solitary, mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills
(E) films about the American West depict coyotes to be solitary and mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills

答案是A,不過我選C,因為我覺得C的結構前後兩子句比較對稱,同樣以此動物為主詞...大家覺得呢?謝謝!!

我的看法是...

1) 文中句意並不是要做 contrast..

New york museum 如何如何 Manhattan to the Bronx 如何如何

你可以看 2) Although的用法 "雖然film....., 事實上...." (前後兩句話有contrast之意)

2)的主詞是 film 才對, 看後半斷未話線不份是在講film.... 所以要以film為subject


請指教

感謝您的回答
關於(1)部分,我還是覺得好難分辨到底有沒有contrast的意思(大概腦筋一時轉不來)...

另外關於(2)的部分,為什麼您覺得後半段部分主詞是講film呢?我覺得是these gregarious creatures(也就是前面的coyotes)...
謝謝!!

liwuu...

因為... 這裡是 film vs. reality 做contrast..

電影裡.coyotes..如何如何, IN REALITY ...coyotes...如何如何

我提供一些意見，剛考完AT
第一題：
A:句子結構不平行。either...or...應該構成平行，這個句子are either devoted to local history or various ethnic groups應該要改成are devoted to either local history or various ethnic groups.
B:前半句對了，但是後半句拿掉了and there are，後面的部份無法構成一個句子。
C:本句並無明顯比較二種不同博物館的意思，因為二種描述的點不同，所以不可使用對照的方式。
D:正確答案。
E:句意已經改變，而且逗點後半部沒有句子的結構。
歡迎大家指教。

ivan30你剛考完阿...有沒有要方想一下你的經驗談呢 i12

在準備Sentence Correction時，我有本書想要推薦給大家參考。在看這本書之前，我做題目大概10題，對個3-5題；可是在看完這本書之後，提昇到做10題，可是卻可以對7題，有時候甚至可以到10題。有一次在做kaplan(公認是gmat模考中最難的)模考題的時候，我做完20題，對了17題，讓我嚇了一跳。
書名：修辭高峰會 作者：旋元佑 出版社：經典傳訊
這本書的單字不會很深，剛開始看到這本書的時候，就覺得沒什麼，可是因為做SC碰到瓶頸，所以還是抱著一絲希望買下來，結果，花了3天的時間好好研究，竟然對某些題目矛塞頓開，以前都不知道為什麼做錯，看OG的解說後，還是不知道它在講什麼。可是這本書會告訴你為什麼，而且是合理的。所以我推薦所有要考GMAT 的人，可以去看這一本。另外，如果覺得這本書太深，還有另一本可以先看
書名：旋元佑文法 作者：旋元佑 出版社：經典傳訊
文法觀念比較差的人可以看看，一定會有幫助。
就這樣。

推一下ivan30介紹的書...今年剛準備考試時,文法觀念實在很薄弱,先買了旋元佑文法後,有了初步完整的建立,後來再去買修辭高峰會,有了進一步的感覺,甚至感受到英文的修辭美感...看完後,真的蠻佩服旋老師,將文法修辭寫得那麼棒!!

那本書我有買，看了十頁就沒繼續看下去了，
因為考慮到作者的思維可能跟ETS不一樣，所以我選擇直接念OG。

BDE先去掉
AC較好
C選項 IN FILMS離前面的DEPICTED AS...太遠。
