逻辑语义
最近发现许多同学做SC的题目依旧还是喜欢钻语法的牛角尖,所以今天Sofia老师通过两道例题带同学们进一步理解SC中逻辑语义的考察,语法是我们理解语义的工具,千万不要本末倒置了哦。
Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.
A Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering
B Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

解析:本题考查逻辑语义,A选项是高频错选,现在分词作状语,这里逻辑主语是没问题,但是修饰动词were written,无论表伴随还是表结果,语义都不合理,意思在说,信件在这个时间段被写了,所以数量才是最多的,这并不合理,比如我和A联系了一周,写了50封信,和B联系了一年,2封信,outnumber跟信件什么时间段被写是没有关系的,跟写给谁有关,所以需要的是作定语修饰letters。
B选项,逗号连接两个动词,句法结构错误
CD选项,无谓语动词
E选项,正确

解析:这一题的解题关键在于,placed动作发出者,ABCD的placed的动作发出者都是brain,而这肯定是不合理的,应该是小鼠在一个刺激性的环境下,小鼠的大脑会生长,而不是把大脑拿出来放在一个刺激性的环境。
