大仙问答
1
GMAT考试前10题影响掉库么？
问：
大仙，GMAT考试是不是前10题非常重要，前10题如果答不好，基本上就掉低分库里，后面答再好，也基本上没啥用了吧？
答：
这是一个流传很久的谣言。官方指南中明确写出“每个题都重要”。并不存在前10题对你分数决定尤其重大的问题，在整个考试过程中，计算机都会对你每个题进行自应适应。

2
答对与答完，哪个重要？
问：
大仙，考试中时间不够，是不是要确保一定要答对，即使后面时间不够答不完，也就是说是不是答对题比答完题目更加重要，如果不确定答案最好别猜？
答：
官方指南是这样说的“未能完成考试将会受到惩罚”，简单地说，官方认为你应该尽最大的努力 ，把题目都做完了，而不要空着，在大概率的情况下，空着会让你受到的损失大于你去猜而造成的损失

动名词做主语不可以么？
问：
No one knows why the carved stone head in a column in Istanbul’s Basilica Cistern is upside down, but it is believed to have been placed that way deliberately.
D. placing it that way is believed to be deliberately done(错)
请问大仙，选项D为什么错呢？动名词做主语不可以吗？
答：
D是中文思维，可以抽个主干看看，抽完主干你会发现：放那个玩意在那是被蓄意干的，但逻辑上，那玩意被蓄意放在那更合理一点；
蓄意修饰放在那，而不是被干；
换句话说，被干这个词是多余的；
4
完美的平行结构为什么是错的？
问：
A New York City ordinance of 1897 regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required of cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and it granted pedestrians right-of-way.
A.regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required of cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and it granted
B.regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, granting
C.regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists that they keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and it granted
D.regulating the use of bicycles, mandating a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, requiring of cyclists that they keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and granted
E.regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and granted
我一看到这个题，就觉得regulate、mandate、 required、granted这四个动词很扎眼，然后就觉得绝对的四个动词平行，多完美的结构，然后就选了a，为什么a是错误的?
答：
易见该题意在考查四个动词 regulate、mandate、 required、granted 的排列问题。考生容易先入为主,先假设四个动作 是平行的,然后按照这个标准去寻找答案,最后感到困惑。实际上, 该题最精妙之处,在于四个动作实际上并不平行。Regulate 后面的内 容是整个自行车的使用规则,后面三个动作分别介绍了该规则的三个 方面。所以,regulate 的层次是高于另外三个动词的。所以 E 的写法 并没有使用四个动词平行的写法,却是真正正确的写法。
A问题很多，最简单的一个：前三个动词并列，但第三项前面缺少一个and
5
not only……but also并列为什么错？
问：
Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also caused erosion and very quickly deforested whole regions.
A. Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also
B. Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast), which gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but also
C. The systematic clearing of forests in the United States, creating farmland (especially in the Northeast) and giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but also
D. The systematic clearing of forests in the United States created farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also
E. The systematic clearing of forests in the United States not only created farmland (especially in the Northeast), giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it
大仙，这道题为什么不选B? 我是这样分析的:这个题我一看到not only。。。but also，然后就吧acde全杀了，因为a but also中间多了一个it，c 没有not only，d也没有not only，e少了also。
答：
此题容易先入为主排除没有not only but also的选项。实际上已经 犯了一个错误:谁告诉你这个句子是并列关系了?实际上这句前后是 转折关系,选的答案是 D。当然,本题也可以通过杀灭其它选项获得 答案。要强调的是避免先入为主这种错误的做题习惯。

#学员专场提问#
选项比较中体现的动作主次问题
问：
In Greek theology the supreme being was Esaugetu Emissee (Master of Breath), who dwelt in an upper realm in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take away the breath of life.
A.in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take
B.where the sky was the floor, having the power to give and to take
have the power 这个部分选项A是在定语从句里，选项B是一个分词的形式，不太能明白这两个选项比较中体现的动作主次的问题。
doing 与定语从句的动作不都是处于次要位置吗？这两个选项怎么区分主次：having 指向主句主语EE吧，发出者错了么？
答：
前面有一个没划线的who，看见了吧？这个having的问题是：它将会被误解为是从属于从句里面的，但其实是他说的东西是和第一个who是一级的，我说打乱了主次关系是指这个意思，你可以换个角度理解，明明都是一个level的东西，你为什么故意不写成平行？
