    E. workers need for their producing of

     

    1.       先看宏观(破折号内的部分先不看), time的修饰成分 对应前文过去时, need的时态应为过去式, 干掉BCE

    2.        ADA中用到so that,根据语义,无此目的意思,且they的用法也不好(如一件事为同一个人做的,则不需写两个句子来表达,多写一个代词,反而增加出错的概率

     

    199. (27253-!-item-!-188;#058&002304)     (GWD5-Q4)

    C. contact with the last directly through

    D. direct contact with the latter by means of

    E. contact directly with the mystical level due to

     

    1.  划线内it无明确指代对象,易产生歧义,干掉AB

    2.  Cthe last用法不对,两者中的后者应用the latter

    3.  Have在划线外,contact 为名词,不能用directly修饰,干掉E

     

     

    223. (30372-!-item-!-188;#058&005388)     (GWD-23-Q23)

    E. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying

     

    1.  While连接的两边的对比义感觉需要比较强烈,but是一般转折义,此点看A,B稍差

     

    2.  ABCit多余,因为前后两件事是同一个人做的(参考193题的说明)

    3.  Dproving用法不对,用but连接 前后应该一致

    4.  另,划线尾部用in payingin its payment to动词优先名词

     

    237.       (27484-!-item-!-188;#058&002432)     (GWD-8-Q16: GWD-13-15)

     

    Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve metropolitan Boston.

    D. There were concerns about public health leading to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems serving

    E. There were concerns leading between 1876 and 1904 to the construction of three separate sewer systems for serving

     

           1.首先ABC开比,时态应为过去时,干掉B、另可根据between 1876 and 1904的位置来判断? B中该时间的位置不能明确说明该时间修饰的是哪一事件(system还是construction),而Cfor serving用法不好,表达目的应该是to do PREP高频考点

           2DE选项将意思改了,变成了有一个concern,而不是concern导致XXXXX

    3EC一样用了for serving表达目的含义,用法错误

     

    238. (26655-!-item-!-188;#058&002088)     (GWD-4-4)

    A. as

    B. than

    C. that

    D. of what

    E. at which

     

           做题时先不看插入成份per milligram,逗号后面部分应跟three times the price,来修饰the priceABD都可直接干掉。E中用at which, 因有插入语,which后的部分只能用来修饰milligram,干掉。

     

     

    一致性

     

    194. (28686-!-item-!-188;#058&003293)

    A. because the yellow jacket has a comparatively smooth stinger, it is therefore able to be pulled out and used

    B. the comparative smoothness of the yellow jacket’s stinger allows them to pull it out and then can therefore use it

    C. the yellow jacket’s stinger is comparatively smooth, and can therefore be pulled out and used

    D. in comparison, the yellow jacket’s stinger is smooth, and thus able to be pulled out and used

    E. in comparison, the yellow jacket has a smooth stinger, thus allowing it to be pulled out and used

     

    1.对比题。句首whereas后跟的是the honeybee’s stinger,则逗号后应紧跟另一个stinger。且不能用in comparison,因为in comparisonwhereas的意思重复,只有C

     

    211. (29202-!-item-!-188;#058&003905)     (GWD-8-Q39)

    C. Unlike mammals, where the tiny tubes for conveying nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, birds’ tubes

    D. Unlike mammals, in whom the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, the tubes in birds

    E. Unlike the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells, which in mammals are arrayed in parallel lines, in birds the tubes

     

           1.对比题。Whereas 对比的前后两部分应形成很好的一致- in mammals the tiny tubes对应 in birds the tubes。而BCDE中均无法构成一致

     

    195. (29764-!-item-!-188;#058&004338)     (GWD-7-Q13)

     

    Like the grassy fields and old pastures that the upland sandpiper needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas, the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in farming practices.

    B. the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States as a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

    C. that the birds themselves are vanishing in the northeastern United States is due to residential and industrial development and changes to

    D. in the northeastern United States, sandpipers’ vanishing is due to residential and industrial development and to changes in

    E. in the northeastern United States, the sandpipers’ vanishing, a result of residential and industrial development and changing

          

    Like构成的对比题。对比的前后两部分也应形成很好的一致。Like的内容为the grassy fields and old pastures,则后面也应起码是个“东西”。只有AB中,the bird itself符合要求。

    (应注意A中的对比部分应为“the sandpipers vanishing”,即鸟消失这件事儿。C中用了that,破坏了对比结构。DE,以in the northeastern United States隔开,也破坏了严谨的对比关系。DE中的in the northeastern United States并不能明确是修饰前文还是后文,产生歧义。)
