GMAT备考：语法题目分析

下面新航道小编为大家整理了GMAT语法题目的答案及详细解析，供考生们参考，以下是详细内容。

1. In a review of 2,000 studies of human behavior that date back to the 1940s, two Swiss psychologists, declaring that since most of the studies had failed to control for such variables as social class and family size, none could be taken seriously.

A.psychologists, declaring that since most of the studies had failed to control for such variables as social class and family size,

B.(B)psychologists, declaring that most of the studies failed in not controlling for such variables like social class and family size, and

C.(C)psychologists declared that since most of the studies, having failed to control for such variables as social class and family size,

D.psychologists declared that since most of the studies fail in controlling for such variables like social class and family size,

E.(E)psychologists declared that since most of the studies had failed to control for variables such as social class and family size,

选E。

解析：本题重点考察句子整体结构的完整性，其次结合了fail to do以及such as两个短语的正确用法的考察，个别选项还考察了时态。

A句主要错在整个句子除了主语psychologists外，没有谓语动词，所以整个主句结构不完整，从句部分的语法是正确的。

B选项and前面部分，句子结构依然只有主语psychologists而缺少谓语动词，所以句子结构不完整，其次B选项fail to do 和such as 的用法也是错误的。

C选项从句划线部分“that since most of the studies, having failed to control for such variables as social class and family size, none could be taken seriously.” since的句子缺少谓语动词，所以从句部分的因为/所以这句话是不完整的。

D选项从句部分“that since most of the studies fail in controlling for such variables like social class and family size, none could be taken seriously.”fail to do 和such as的用法错误，并且fail的时态使用不正确。

2. In her presentation, the head of the Better Business Bureau emphasized that companies should think of the cost of conventions and other similar gatherings as not an expense, but as an investment in networking that will pay dividends.

A. as not an expense, but as

B. as not expense but

C. not an expense, rather

D. not as an expense, but as

E. not in terms of expense, but

选D.

解析：此题考察并列结构not……but的用法。

A选项not之后没有as，but之后就应该没有as，正确表达应该改成as not an expense，but an……。

B选项应该为as not an expense， but……。而且not 放在as前面，因为think of A not as B, but as C结构较合理的结构

C选项固定搭配not……rather错误，not……but是固定搭配；并且think of……as结构缺乏as，用法错误。

E选项think of……as结构缺乏as，并且not……but之后成分结构不一致，所以错误，not in terms of  expense 之后应该是but in terms of investment，但是这样改的话成分太过冗长，所以即使修改后依然是D比较适合。

3.Recent interdisciplinary studies advance the argument that emotions, including those deemed personal or private is a social phenomenon, though one inseparable from bodily response.

A.private is a social phenomenon, though one inseparable

B. private, are social phenomena that are inseparable

C.private are a social phenomenon but are not those separable from bodily response.

D.private—are social phenomena but not separable

E.also as private emotions, are social phenomena not inseparable

选B.

解析：A选项从句主语是emotions，但是从句谓语动词是is，主谓单复数不一致。

C选项private之后没有逗号是错误的，因为including……作为插入成分，前后都必须有逗号；其次but不符合语义。

D选项的两个错误，符号的使用错误和语义错误同C选项。

E选项as是多余成分，be deemed personal or private即可，不需要加as。
