【GMAT语法】Tropical bats play an important role in the rainforest ecosystem, aiding in the dispersal of cashew, date, and fig seeds; pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly help the producing of tequila by pollinating agave plants.
老师,这个我看出来是考平行结构的,但是这个用了分号是什么意思?
Tropical bats play an important role in the rainforest ecosystem, aiding in the dispersal of cashew, date, and fig seeds; pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly help the producing of tequila by pollinating agave plants. (OG19 V 233)
A pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly help the producing of
B pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly helping to produce
C pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and they indirectly help to produce
D they pollinate banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly help producing
E they pollinate banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; indirectly helping the producing of
- 注意两个点: ①前边主体部分Tropical….ecosystem这句话已经说完了,后边全都是对important role的表现形式;这些表现形式有没有先后关系?包含关系?因果关系?没有!所以后边几个部分是平行的 ②解题关键点在分号上边,分号隔开了三个层面的内容,这三个层面的内容第三部分有and做链接。从这个意义上讲,由于aiding用的是ing结构,所以pollinating和helping必然要用 ing 形式,才能保证平行成立;只有B符合
- the producing of… 在GMAT里面是不可以的,producing的ing形式如果单独做动名词可以独立按照名词形式看待,但是the…of…明显中间是一个名词,producing有没有名词形式?有!是production,所以producing就不行了;
- 一旦把 they带出来,层次感就出来了,前面说的是一个层面的内容,后边开始讲其他的事儿了;they后面的事儿跟前边比,有没有“重打锣鼓另开张”?没有!还是一直在讲 important role的实质内容;
