GMAT最精华 OG总结 语法改错1-10.doc

1. The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia, were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain James Cook, by whom they were named supposedly because its sheer wet rocks glistened like glass. (A) by whom they were named supposedly because its (B) by whom they were named supposedly and their (C) naming them supposedly since their (D) who so named them supposedly because their (E) who so named it since supposedly their 解析： … /were named莫名的被动语态，更不可取。 （2）because是最后分句were named的原因状语（因果关系）.问题： supposedly修饰该原因状语“据说是因为”， B项and their丢失因果关系，排除 主谓一致：sheer wet rocks是mountains的，应用复数，取their而非its, AE错 修饰对象：James Cook是主句中的介词宾语，而非主语。所以从句用naming时James Cook无法作施动者。C错 措词：since不如because的因果关系明确，且since一般引出听者所熟知的信息（见《区别》） CE错 生词：supposedly“据认为,据推测; 据称glisten vi.闪亮，闪耀 答案：D 2．Although a surge in retail sales have raised hopes that there is a recovery finally under way, many economists say that without a large amount of spending the recovery might not last.
