如何一眼識別GMAT語義重復(fù)的神坑選項,?考過GMAT的同學(xué)都知道,GMAT語法中的簡潔性主要涵蓋兩大考點:wordy和redundant,。今天我們主要來說說redundant的錯誤以及出題的陷阱如何避免,。
一、什么叫redundant?
兩個詞語表達了同樣的意思,,發(fā)生語義的重復(fù),,就是所謂的redundant的錯誤。它雖然歸類到簡潔性的考點,,但是確實一個實用性非常強的化的錯誤,,學(xué)生只要發(fā)現(xiàn),就可以馬上進行大膽的排除!
二,、考試陷阱如何規(guī)避?
陷阱一:GMAT往往為了提高redundant考點的難度,有時候會把兩個redundant的詞匯放的位置距離比較遠,,利用障眼法讓我們發(fā)現(xiàn)不了這個問題,,很多同學(xué)就會憑單純的語感,盲目錯選,。
例題如下:
Possible long-term consequences of the "greenhouse effect," the gradual warming of the Earth's climate, may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level.
A may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level
B may include the melting of polar ice caps and the rising sea level
C may include polar ice caps that are melting and sea levels that are rising
D include melting the polar ice caps and sea levels that are rising
E include melting of the polar ice caps and a rise in sea level
展開全文 曾經(jīng)有同學(xué)在這道題上花了10分鐘的時間,,然而并未發(fā)現(xiàn)redundant的錯誤。其實,,很顯然,,句首的possible 和may是重復(fù)的,都是表達可能的意思,,所以不能放在一句話中,,那么排除AB選項;剩下DE選項,我們則根據(jù)平行結(jié)構(gòu)的考點也可以排除,。
這道題是一道非常典型的陷阱題,,其實難度不大,但是往往會由于粗心,,或者不知道出題的陷阱,,而造成失分,這道題中的possible和may真的遠的不能再遠了!
陷阱二: GMAT考試中往往將表義重復(fù)的部分在形式上發(fā)生變化,,試圖迷惑考生,,蒙混過關(guān),但是我們做題的原則時刻不能忘記,只要含義發(fā)生重復(fù),,就要果斷殺之!
例題如下:
It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetary nebulas, may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other at close range.
A may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other
B may be caused by the interaction between two stars that each orbit the other
C are because of the interaction between two stars that orbit each other
D are caused by the interaction of two stars where each is orbiting the other
E are caused by the interaction of two stars orbiting each other
這道題和上面題類似,,AB兩個選項也是因為maybe和句首的It seems likely 是redundant的錯誤被排除,雖然兩者距離較遠,,但是還是要警惕這種情況,。
