代词是GMAT考试中常见的考点,每次遇到代词你是否能够清晰的区分出它所指代的意义呢?如果有时候会觉得比较吃力,那么就来看看Manhattan语法中文笔记之代词吧。
代词
代词是GMAT中最常见的考点,每次见到介词的时候都应检查指代是否清晰。
(一)先行词必须存在
注意有些名词是作为形容词、所有格在用,这样的名词不能作为先行词;名词作为先行词
的条件是该名词一定要具备名词功能。
EG: The park rangers discussed measures to prevent severe wildfires, which would be devastating
to it. It无指代对象,因为park在此处是形容词,真正的主语是park rangers。
(二)先行词和代词并同时有意义
将代词换为先行词,该句子必须还是有意义,说的通
EG: (错)Although the term ”supercomputer” may sound wonderful, it is simply and machine that can execute tril- lions of calculations every second.
(对): Although the term "supercomputer" may sound fanciful or exaggerated, it simply REFERS TO an extremely fast mainframe that can execute tril- lions of calculations every second.
此处,it指代就有问题,“term”不是机器,“term”指的是机器。所以要用“refer to”
(三)代词的指代必须清晰
每一个代词都只能有一个清晰的先行词,如有多个的话,指代是模糊的。
(四)代词和先行词的单复数必须一致,GMAT为了迷惑,会在主语和主句前面,加上从句,比如:along with…/by…,要找到真正的主语。
(五)格
1.代词主格可用做主语:I, you, she, he, it , we, they , who
2.代词宾格用作宾语:me, you, him , her, it, us, them, whom
3.所有格:my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, our ,ours, their(常考), theirs, whose
4.重要考点:
(1)代词在句子主语的位置上,通常会被认为指代与其平行句子的主语。
EG: Supernovas destroy their immediate environments in vast explosions, BUT by synthesizing heavy chemical elements, THEY provide the universe with the possibility of biochemistry-based life as we know it.
(2)一般所有格代词只能指代所有格名词,不能指代主格和宾格。
EG: Wrong: The board is investigating several executives' compensation packages in order to
determine how much may have been improperly awarded to THEM.
Right: The board is investigating the compensation packages of several executives in order to determine how much THESE EXECUTIVES may have been improperly awarded.
Right: The board is investigating the compensation packages of several executives in order to determine how much THEY may have been improperly awarded.
(3)which,that 只能指代物,只有who, whom 才能指代人
(4)同一个句子中,it/its指代同一个物,they/them/their指代同一批人
(六)几个要点
1.this, that, these, those 在句子中不能裸奔,必须用作this/that/those/these+n 的结构才能做代词使用,而这个名词则是能体现先行词性质的词。(this, those, that and these are never
used as a stand-alone pronoun without a noun following)
EG:New”nano-papers” incorporate fibers that give THESE MATERIALS strength,
2.that或those可以表明一个新的copy关于先行词的,避免重复。
EG: The money spent by her parents is more than that spent by her children.
3.that或those 表明新copy 的时候一定前后完全一致(包括单复数),否则需要重复先行词。
EG:Her company is outperforming those of her competitors. 错,those与company不一致,应将those替换为companies.
