A2GMAT 對修辭影片觀念探討(1)

    這個影片看完之後,對於裡面大部分的論點,我A2本人想對這些觀點提出看法


    Although William Pereira first gained national recognition for his
    movie set designs, including those for the 1942 film "Reap the
    Wild Wind," future generations will remember him as the architect
    of the Transamerica Tower, the Malibu campus of Pepperdine
    University, and the city of Irvine.

    A) including those for the 1942 film "Reap the Wild Wind," future
    generations
    B) like those for the 1942 film "Reap the Wild Wind," future
    generations
    C) like that for the 1942 film "Reap the Wild Wind," future
    generations will
    D) including that for the 1942 film "Reap the Wild Wind," future
    generations will
    E) including those for the 1942 film "Reap the Wild Wind," future
    generations will

    影片表演技巧解題,3-2 split 結構,K大說including/like直接往“
    出現頻率比較高”的那方including走,刪B/C;
    再來A/D/E的those/that留下出現頻率多的那方
    those,刪掉D; 最後A/E兩個選項因為GMAT出題者會考量考生時間壓迫下,
    故意不把答案放A,所以選E,剛好就是答案,而且OG很多題目可以這樣解.

    本人想告訴同學請勿使用這樣的解題方式!

    其實我常常告誡學生,準備考試要用GMAC官方出的題目,OG/OV/PP/GWD,不
    要用非官方像是Manhattan的題目,因為GMAT是個智力測驗的考試,只要是
    智力測驗考試,都一定有所謂的Pattern,看考生能否分析出考點,一般對
    GMAT考試研究不夠深入的機構,並沒有掌握所謂的Pattern,所以會出一些
    與實戰模式無關的考題,所以儘量少用Manhattan題目.

    舉例來說,各位會發現like/including 幾乎沒有在官方的題目作為相對選項,
    通常like考出來時,相對選項要不就是考類比的as,
    不然就是考表舉例要用such as;至於, including常搭配是考,
    which include,including比較符合“標準英文”的寫法,或者是考冒號本
    身語意已經有including含義不要用including等.

    這題就算要用“所謂的技巧”,應該要用
    是標準英文表達包括語意用句尾, including比較漂亮,留下A/D/E,
    再來those代名詞語意指代designs刪掉D, 最後A/E陳述事實才會用現在簡單式,
    generations rememberhim這件事不會是古往今來的事實,所以
    用will,所謂的解題技巧,大多還是要搭配看文法對錯和“重點語意”,再
    排列對的解題步驟,文法對錯優先,是否符合標準英文的好壞及句意綜合評
    估,才會讓修辭進步.

    再舉個例子什麼叫做運用"考試技巧"解題,請看下面這題:

    140.    (32197-!-item-!-188;#058&006684) 代名詞  vs 清楚名詞
    By offering lower prices and a menu of personal communications
    options, such as caller identification and voice mail, the new
    telecommunications company has not only captured customers from
    other phone companies but also forced them to offer competitive
    prices.
    (A) has not only captured customers from other phone companies but
    also forced them
    (B) has not only captured customers from other phone companies,
    but it also forced them
    (C) has not only captured customers from other phone companies but
    also forced these companies
    (D) not only has captured customers from other phone companies but
    also these companies have been forced
    (E) not only captured customers from other phone companies, but it
    also has forced them

    這題在實戰上,就是屬於直接看選項就可以解的題目, 不需要看背景句意
    我們會先從對錯問題,強迫平衡not only A but (also)
    B,先刪掉動詞與名詞不平衡的B/D/E,剩下A/C兩個比對只差在用them/
    these companies,這裏考好壞問題的代名詞和清楚名詞盡量用清楚名詞,
    直接選C,若考點清楚就趕快做決策,
    就像前面那題最後是解時態合理性,本來就要看語意~

    待續....
