主语是review,谓语是indicates,后跟that引导的宾语从句说明indicate的内容,宾语从句的主语是
CEO’s,谓语是earn,宾语是419 times the pay of blue-collar workers,后跟比较结构as compared
to…,the ratio是42 times their pay的同位语。
CEO’s 是 CEO 的复数形式,以缩写字母组成的专有名词的复数形式可以是加’s 或加 s。
考点:比较、句子结构
比较-compare/contrast 的用法,(as) compared to/with(GMAT 没有区分 to 和 with 的区别),省略
了主语和系动词,即 A be compared with/to B,与 in contrast to 都是惯用法,前后比较对象一定
要对等。常见的错误用法有:将 compare 用作主动(when compare…; comparing…),比较对象
不对等。
句子结构-宾语从句,正式书面语中,宾语从句的引导词 that 不能省略。
(A) compared to的比较对象不对象,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,
而后者a ratio of是比率。
(B) a ratio that compares的compare不能用主动方式表达,应该是被比较sth be compared to…的省
略形式(省略了主语和系动词,是惯用法);compare to的比较对象不对象,前者419 times the pay of
blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,而后者42 times是比率。
(C) 正确,as compared to比较结构,419 times the pay与42 times their pay比较,the ratio…是同位

考点:逻辑表达
逻辑表达,同位语的作用与系动词 be 的作用一样,不同类的东西不能作同位语。不能用中文中的意
思理解去做语法题;分词、不定式、从句用做修饰语时,各自表达的逻辑含义不同,要注意区分。
(A) which指代million错误。
(B) part of 表示是同位语,但 deal 与 million 不是同类,million 是个数字 number,它的同位语可以是
a number…。deal 是 business agreement,用它作同位语的可以是 agreement, contract 等;makes
一般现在时态错误,应该用将来时,表示将来的预期。
(C) part of 表示同位语,但 deal 与 million 不是同类,理由与选项 B 相同;分词的形式不能表达出从
句才具有的时态概念。
(D) to make 的修饰对象有歧义,原句是修饰 deal 的,但不定式的逻辑主语又可以是句子主语。
(E) 介词 as 引导的短语在句中充当状语,如同 The news comes as a shock. You need to be able to
work as part of a team.中的 as 一样。这里 as part of…不是同位语,不需要去指代前面哪一个词或者

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again

and never regains…
Who与whose引导并列的定语从句修饰名词composer,前一从句谓语是receives,后一从句的并列谓
语是declines and regains。
OG10 解释:
Choice C, the best answer, maintains parallel structure, keeps verb tense consistent, and contains
no redundancies.
Choice A illogically suggests that it is the composer who goes into decline after death, rather than
the composer's reputation. Choice A may also be faulted for the redundancy of never regains ...
again.
Choice B is not correct. Grammatically, a coordinating conjunction (e.g., "but") is needed to join the
clause whose reputation declines ... with the preceding clause, who receives popular acclaim....
Furthermore, the phrase never regains... again suffers from redundancy.
Choices D and E suffer from inconsistency in verb tense. To maintain parallelism the verbs must be
receives... declines... regains.
OG11解释:
Verb tense + Parallelism
Faulty parallelism in the relative clause who receives ... goes ... regains ... makes it unclear who or
what is being described. The original clause begins by describing a certain kind of composer. As
written, with who as the subject of goes and regains, the last two descriptions illogically continue
to refer to the kind of composer. Logically it must be the reputation that declines after the
composer's death.
A Illogically suggests the composer goes into decline after death; redundant again
B The two clauses are not parallel, lack a coordinating conjunction, and do not describe the
same thing; redundant again
C Correct. This sentence presents the proper logic while maintaining paral el structure and
consistent verb tense.
D The verb tenses are inconsistent with present tense used in the first phrase; redundant
again
E The verb tenses are inconsistent with present tense used in the first phrase; to maintain
parallelism, the verbs must be receives ... declines ... regains
The correct answer is C.

The British sociologist and activist Barbara Wootton once noted as a humorous example of income

annually exactly what she then earned as director of adult education for London.

(E) the elephant giving rides to children at the Whipsnade Zoo and that it earned
句子结构:… Barbara Wootton noted as… that the elephant that… was earning…
Note that… as…因为that从句较长,所以移到句子后面。
OG10解释:
Choice A, the best answer, uses the idiomatic construction noted... that and clearly focuses on the
salient information-- a comparison of annual earnings.
In B, the structure of noted... that the elephant, giving rides ..., had been earning falsely implies that
the reader already knows about the elephant--that is, that the existence of this particular elephant is
not new information. Also, the past perfect had been improperly places the elephant's earning in the
past, prior to Wootton's; consistent verb tense is needed to show that the actions are simultaneous.
Choice C may be faulted for distortion of meaning and diminished clarity because it suggests that
the point of Wootton's example was the elephant's very existence; comparative earnings are
presented (after and) as incidental detail.
Choice D is awkward and inexact; the whole circumstance that Wootton "noted" is best expressed
in a clause that begins with that.
Choice E does not use the idiomatic construction noted that x; therefore, and that it earned has no
parallel construction to which it can be joined.
