原创bv重磅出击：GMAT硬功夫之
句子该怎么读
由于中国英语教育的遗毒，很多学生接触英语多年之后，居然依然没有解决一些最基本的问题，句子读法就是其中一项。由于长期的字对字翻译式的信息处理习惯，大部分中国学生的信息吸收习惯是将每个英文字尽量变成中文，然后将一串中文字组合起来拼凑出整个句子的意思。这个习惯对GMAT实战的危害非常严重，不仅降低了信息处理速度，更大的负面影响在于过早进入逐字处理，会使得失去对宏观结构的体察。
在GMAT语文的不同部分，实际上对读句子的技术要求有所不同。简单地说，SC部分强调视角切换，调整宏观微观角度，对句子大结构、定性要求较高。CR部分对句子逻辑发展要求较高，但又不能放过细节，其实是对信息处理吸收比例要求最高的一部分。RC需要的是积极的预判型阅读，随时判断句子的功能，对句子既要定性也要定向。
练功夫，我们先从SC的读法练起吧。对SC部分句子的读法的核心，是从“word”升级到“segment”（原则上以逗号区分板块），从以字为单位，升级到以“意群”为单位。对句子先做定性分析，即哪个是主句，哪个是修饰部分，尤其注意定性分析中，对一团英语，判断这到底是个句子还是个被层层修饰包裹着的短语或词。相信大仙，练对了读法，上升的不仅是速度，还有你对考试的理解。

：木有捕食者和一个神马玩意，主语怎么怎么了。如果能读出这个样子，可见“木有捕食者”需要一个能被修饰的主语，比较各个选项可见只有C选项能被修饰。

读法：句子大结构为：主句，修饰
提炼出关键成分：XXXXXXXXXXXX Jupiter， planet。可见主句必须以Jupiter结尾，起码排除2个选项。另D项按意群读出team，working， and has，显然缺乏第一个谓语。余下两个选项应该分别读成：
Team has
detected （A）
Team 在干活（E）
在此基础上再做判断。

被发起的应该是项目，承诺的也应该是项目。马上可以去掉BDE。
