   以下是GMAT考试语法知识点例题，通过例题的实际演示和解析，对其中的语法进行解释和分析。

　　1.　Margaret Mead, the best-known anthropologist of the twentieth century, helped shape public opinion on fundamentally important areas like attitudes toward children and families, along with the relative merits of competition and cooperation.

　　A. shape public opinion on fundamentally important areas like attitudes toward children and families, along with

　　B. shape public opinion in such fundamentally important areas as attitudes toward children and families and

　　C. to shape public opinion about such fundamentally important areas like attitudes toward children and families, also about

　　D. the shaping of public opinion for fundamentally important areas such as attitudes toward children and families, and those toward 答案(B)

　　E. the shaping of public opinion around fundamentally important areas like attitudes toward children and families, and those of

　　题目释义：MM, …, helped shape opinion … in areas such as … and …

　　考点：

　　固定搭配(Idiom) 有效用词(Diction)

　　1. Help的用法：Help sb. (to) do; Help (to) do; Be helpful in (特别注意)

　　2. 列举用such … as A, B, … and C结构，不可以用like代替。like在GMAT中通常做介词表示“像…一样”，要求前后严格对称，但不可表示列举。

　　3. such as的两种形式：A such as B, such A as B

　　such as的用法：

　　such as + 具体名词(n1 and n2或doing n1 and doing n2;)表示举例

　　such as + noun/ doing/ what从句/介词短语

　　错误表达：

　　such as + there/they/these 错 ，必须是具体的东西，不能加代词

　　such as + to do 错 such as + 句子 错 such as + when错。

　　X1, X2, X3 such as these 错，such as要放在列举之前。

　　4. Along with短语引导的是伴随状语，不可以表示平行关系也不可以做连词使用

　　5. 在…方面要用in … area(s).

　　选项分析：

　　A.On areas 搭配错误;like无法表示列举，应当换成such as;along with不能代替and表示并列

　　B.Correct; such as的列举中，attitudes与relative merits的并列

　　C.Help to do不如help do简洁有效，但不能称其为绝对性错误;about areas 搭配错误;like无法表示列举，应当换成such as;also about错误，also不可以作为副词连接词(副词连接词)使用

　　D. Help the doing搭配错误;for…areas搭配错误;逻辑意思上讲such as的列举中应该是attitudes与relative merits的并列，也可以从另一个角度分析：如果是attitudes与merits并列的话，不应该再用those toward，而直接用and连接，如果是两个attitudes并列的话最多补出and toward，从两个方面来讲and those toward都是错的;另外and those toward前面的逗号不应该有

　　E. Help the doing搭配错误;around area搭配错误;like无法表示列举，应当换成such as;逻辑意思上讲列举中应该是attitudes与relative merits的并列;另外and those of前面的逗号不应该有

　　2.　　One of the primary distinctions between our intelligence with that of other primates may lay not so much in any specific skill but in our ability to extend knowledge gained in one context to new and different ones.

　　A. between our intelligence with that of other primates may lay not so much in any specific skill but

　　B. between our intelligence with that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill but instead

　　C. between our intelligence and that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill as

　　D. our intelligence has from that of other primates may lie not in any specific skill as 答案(C)

　　E. of our intelligence to that of other primates may lay not in any specific skill but

　　句子结构： One of the primary distinctions between … and … may lie not so much in … as in…

　　考点：

　　1. 固定搭配(1) distinction(s) between…and…

　　(2) difference(s) between…and… / A has difference from B

　　2. 固定搭配so much…as…，要保证平行

　　3. May, must, should, would等情态动词后面要接动词原形

　　4. 注意当lay和lie都为动词的原型时的区别：lay是使役动词; lie表达的是状态，可以作为Linking Verb.

　　选项分析：

　　A. between … with搭配错误;so much … but搭配错误;lay不是原形，应该换成lie

　　B. between … with搭配错误;so much … but搭配错误;instead多余

　　C. correct; that指代intelligence

　　D. distinction要用between…and...来搭配，不能用A has distinction(s) from B，只有A has difference(s) from B;固定搭配between…and…不完整;缺少了so much，被改为not… as…，改变合理句意

　　E. distinction要用between…and...来搭配，of…to搭配错误;lay不是原形，应该换成lie;not so much…as…被改为not…but，改变了合理句意

　　补充说明：

　　1. 有difference from和difference/distinction between A and B，而没有distinction from

　　2. lie/ lay做动词时用法说明

　　lie为不及物动词;lay为及物动词。

　　lie : 1.lie - lied - lied 撒谎

　　2.lie - lay - lain 躺着;平放

　　lay : lay - laid - laid 产卵，下蛋;放，搁
