2016
這次的GMAT OG,增加了百分之二十五的新題,句子改錯的部分,出現了35道新題,綜觀這35道題,句子的風格基本沒有什麼改變,延續之前的既長又複雜的晦澀風格。


涉及的考點最集中依次是比較(11),平行(8),修飾(4),這三個考點也是SC最最重要的考點。其他考點如主謂一致,固定搭配、邏輯意思、時態也都有一到兩題的考查。


除了常規考點之後,在2016 OG52題和126題當中,新增加了獨立主格知識點。獨立主格一直是考試當中高分庫出鏡頻率相當高的一個考點,但是在前幾版的OG裡面都沒有直接考過,只有出現在PREP裡面的練習題。OG加入這個考點之後,知識點覆蓋得更加全面,所以想要拿高分的同學,在後面的學習一定要掌握獨立主格的用法。


52. According to a recent study of consumer spending on prescription medications, increases in the sales of the50 drugs that were advertised most heavily accounts for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of which came from sales of the 9.850 prescription medicines that companies did not advertise or advertised very little.
(A) heavily accounts for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of which came
(B) heavily were what accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year; the remainder of the increase coming
(C) heavily accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, the remainder of the increase coming
(D) heavily, accounting for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, while the remainder of the increase came
(E) heavily, which accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last year, with the remainder of it coming


這道題A選項當中主謂不一致,主語是 increases複數,謂語是accounts單數。B選項當中分號後面接的是一個獨立主格短語,而不是一個完整的句子,句子結構就是錯的。D選項主句裡面沒有謂語,只有一個分詞 accounting,也屬於句子結構錯誤。E which沒有指代物件,屬於修飾上的錯誤。答案選C,最後the remainder of the increase coming N+doing的獨立主格,作用是解釋說明前面整個句子。


另外,我們也注意到2016 OG的第2題的正確選項出現了that單獨做主語的情況。that單獨做主語是錯的說法其實不太準確,這個只能算是指代模糊,只是相對錯誤。相對錯誤一定是在絕對錯誤排完之後才考慮的。觀察官方題目的正確選項,有時候確實會發現某些正確選項會出現相對錯誤,但同時其他四個選項一定有更加致命的絕對錯誤,這也符合GMAT的精神—“選最優選項而不是正確選項。還有there be 句型後面只能接自然存在的,具體的名詞,不能接抽象名詞的說法也是值得質疑的。在OG2016裡面的第31題,正確選項當中也出現了“there was a very rapid movement”there be句型後面加入了抽象名詞movement
