如何去思考GMAT语法中的what从句是GMAT语法中的难点。
GMAT的SC考题中经常出现what从句,这是很多同学的痛点,带有what从句的选项有时候对,有时候错,基本没有很强的猜题规律的,需要我们在具体题目当中去判断。下面为大家讲讲该如何去思考GMAT SC中的what从句。
其实what从句就是一个名词性从句(看不懂这个术语的童鞋就忽略吧,并无大碍),what我们称之为关系代词(看不懂的依然可以忽略),既然是代词,一定要有所指代的,所以我们在判断what从句对还是不对,第一步就是找出what从句在句子当中语义上应该指代谁。
举个栗子:
What you said is right这句话里面what就是指代你说的话,所以这句话完全等同于The word that you said is right. 大家注意到没,后面的句子其实就是把what的指代对象the word直接给出了,然后加一个that(如果是人加who/whom)变成定语从句,这样句子是不是好理解很多。
没看懂??!!再来一个。
He is not what he was five years ago.还是一样首先找出what在句子当中指代什么,然后加上that/whom,其他部分照抄,所以这句话等同于He is not the man whom he was five years ago。
好啦,咱们再来几道真题:
The ancient Anasazi harvested such native desert vegetation as the purple-flowered bee plant, what they now commonly call wild spinach in northern Arizona and other parts of the southwestern United States.
A. what they now commonly call
B. a plant that they now commonly call
C. now commonly called
D. and is now commonly called
E. which it is now commonly called
