  总结:

  1)OG 57. Affording strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco was also of interest to the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century because they assumed that if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure.

  (A) if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure

  (B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure

  (C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it

  (D) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria

  (E) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it

  Answer : (B)

  Grammatical construction + Verb form

  Conditional constructions require specc verb tenses. For a past condition, the subordinate clause introduced by if uses the past indicative, and the main clause uses the conditional ifx happened, then y would happen.

  A The verb was should be the conditional would be; wordy and imprecise

  B Correct. This clear, concise sentence

  correctly uses the conditional would never be.

  C The verb was should be the conditional

  would be; pronoun it is ambiguous and could

  refer to either Morocco or Algeria

  D It, not that, should be used to refer back to Morocco; could never be secure about their grip is awkward

  E Inverted word order is awkward and confusing; it could refer to either Morocco or Algeria

  The correct answer is B.

  2)GWD-9-Q19:

  D. corporations commit crimes whenever an employee of those corporations commit a crime, if it was while acting

  E. the corporation whose employees commit a crime, commits a crime, whenever the employee acted

  Answer:[A]

  3) OG 161. A wildlife expert predicts that the reintroduction of the caribou into northern Minnesota

  would fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more numerous than one wolf for every 39 square miles.

  (A) would fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more numerous than

  (B) would fail provided the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more than

  (C) should fail if the timber wolf density in that region was greater than

  (D) will fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is greater than

  (E) will fail if the timber wolf density in that region were more numerous than

  Answer: D

  以下是引用薰衣紫草在2005-4-12 6:53:00的发言:

  虚拟一般指不太有可能发生的事情, 如: If

  I were you, .....; 或者过去已成的事实, 而说的人好象吃了后悔药, 回到过去改变它. If I knew it, I should have.....

  161表明一件事情发生的环境, 条件, 陈述了一个事实, 即在什么样的情况下reintroduction会失败

  4) Prep Test2-58 (非虚拟)

  If current trends continue, by the end of year 2010 carbon emissions in the United States will soar to a level more than one-third higher than were those in 1990, according to official projections.

  (A) will soar to a level more than one-third higher than were those

  (B) will soar to a level more than one-third higher than that

  (C) would soar to a level more than one-third higher than it was

  (D) would soar to a level more than one-third higher than those

  (E) would soar to a level more than one-third higher than they were

  如果从句内容是现实中明显可行的或者可能的,那就不用虚拟了

  此处如果if分句是虚拟语气,continue就不会是原形啦

  既然continue是原形,表明作者觉得这个if是很可能发生的,所以后面也就不需要用虚拟语气了

  5) OG50. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about 20/500. or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.

  (A)

  As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.

  (B)

  A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind as an adult

  (C)

  (E)

  As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would deemed legally blind for an adult, would be rated about 20/500.

  Answer(D)

  这道题也不是虚拟语气。

  would有一些词义是will没有的,即(确定的结果)将会,常常会,可能会,习惯性地会,这时候用would表结果而不能用will。

  6) Q14: (表推测的虚拟语气)

  E are expected to be making an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal were

  Answer: A

  以上情况是虚拟语气,具体说叫"推测条件句"中的虚拟.

  虚拟语气:把动作当作一种只存在于讲话人想象中的"假设"或者"推测",而不是当作客观现实中的真实事件.

  推测条件句的结构:

  1、if subject +动词过去式

  2、if subject +should +动词原形

  3、if subject +were to do

  本句属于3

  7) prep2-47(表推测的虚拟语气)

  答案是A

  以下是引用xizzhu在2006-5-25 23:03:00的发言:

  1. should a significant number of these debes be repudiated. = if a significant number of these debts should be repudiated.

  类似的还有 were, had 的倒装并省略if,

  in other words, Leaving out "if": formal inversion - structures:

  (三)代词无所指代例题

  1、Many entomologists say that campaigns to eradicate the fire ant in the United States have failed because the chemicals that were used were effective only in wiping out the ant's natural enemies, which made it easier for them to spread.

  A. which made it easier for them

  B. which makes it easier for it

  C. thus making it easier for them

  D. thus making it easier for the ant

  E. thereby, it was made easier for the ant

  题干结构:many entomologists say that campaigns....have failed because........

  语义理解:许多昆虫学家认为,在美国去除火蚁的行动已经失败了,因为化学药剂只对火蚁的天敌有消灭作用,因此使得火蚁繁殖得更快

  做题步骤分析:①找划线部分them的先行词,有entomologists,campaigns,chemicals等多个复数名词;②结合语义,发现前述的三个复数名词都不合适,them想指代的是ants,但却没有出现ants,因此此处them无所指代

  选项分析:

  A.them无所指代,用法错误

  B.第二个it有与makes it 中的it这个to spread的形式宾语表示同一意思的歧义,

  C.同A

  D.正确

  E.it此处想要指代because引导的原因从句,但it不能指代从句或句子

  引申:it的用法只有三种:1、特指句子中出现的某个单数或不可数的名词,但不可以特指前面出现的整个句子

  2、形式主语或形式宾语:It is +adj + to do/ that

  3、强调句:It is + 被强调部分+ that/who

  the ant’s natural enemies,中的the ant不可以作为代词的先行词,因为the ant’s是个整体,在修饰后卖弄的enemies,中心词为enemies

  题干结构:the results of ..........are evident

  语义理解:这个公司成本削减的手段对利润的影响是非常明显的,它的利润经过两年的下降后在今年前三个月已经增长了5%。

  做题步骤分析:①首先寻找划线部分it的先行词,发行没有先行词,因为前面都是复数名词;②结合语义,此处想要表达的是利润下降,因此it使用多余且不正确

  选项分析:

  A.it与先行词单复数不一致,使用错误

  B.同A

  C.正确

  D.

  E.

  引申思考:如果此处把it换成they对吗?

  答:即使换成they在这里也不正确,做主语的代词优先指代前面主语,they在优先指代the results,显然逻辑语义不对。

  3、In California today, Hispanics under the age of eighteen account for more than 43 percent, compared with a decade ago, when it was about 35 percent.

  题干结构:Hispanics account for........

  语义理解:当今,18岁以下的加利福尼亚人有43%是西班牙人,十年前35%是西班牙人。

  做题步骤分析:①首先找划线部分it的先行词,the age of eighteen,43%虽然是单数名词,带入语义不符合逻辑意思;②it不可以指代整个句子,所以此处it无所指代的内容

  选项分析:

  A.it用法错误

  B.it用法错误

  C.正确

  D.it用法错误

  E.it用法错误

  选项分析:

  A.that, taking....., and that,显然结构不对,taking不应该作为插入语

  B.正确

  C.had taken时态错误,此处应该用过去式

  D.it多余

  E.it多余

  做题步骤分析:①首先找划线部分it的先行词,结合语义,发现没有可指代的内容;②如果把it换成them呢?them结合语义,可被理解为指代technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders,带入代词后为technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders that several attempts have failed to correct technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders,显然此处的代词多余

  选项分析:

  D.正确

  E.them多余

  引申:

  n that SV n是错误的结构

  语义理解:日本充足的雨水和湿润的气候供给出繁茂的植被,尽管山路崎岖、土壤贫瘠,仍可以使得日本人种植多种粮食。

  做题步骤分析:B选项:①首先找出划线部分them的先行词,只有abundant rainfall and the typically mild temperature这个可能性;②带入划线部分替换them后,逻辑语义是错误的,因此them使用错误,them本想指代的是日本人,此处没有出现,所以them无所指代

  选项分析:

  A.it指代错误,应该用they,因为想要表示的是abundant rainfall and the typically mild temperature made it possible to .....
