GMAT语法是GMAT考试中的最重要的题型，“得GMAT语法者得天下”。然而GMAT的语法是非常有规律可循的，一些语法原则在其它考试可能并不正确，但在GMAT当众如同定律一样，能够快速帮助你排除错误选项。

　　我们先来看两道GMAT语法题的解析：

　　题1：Part of the proposed increase in state education spending is due to higher enrollment, since the number of students in public schools have grown steadily since the mid-1980's and, at nearly 47 million, are at a record high.

　　(A) enrollment, since the number of students in public schools have grown steadily since the mid-1980's and, at nearly 47 million, are at

　　(B) enrollment, with a number of students in public schools growing steadily since the mid-1980's and, at nearly 47 million, reaching

　　(C) enrollment: since students in public schools have grown steadily in number since the mid-1980's and, at nearly 47 million, have reached

　　(D) enrollment: the number of students in public schools has grown steadily since the mid-1980's and, at nearly 47 million, has reached

　　(E) enrollment: students in public schools have grown steadily in number since the mid-1980's and, at nearly 47 million, are at

　　原文大致意思：

　　教育收费上涨主要是因为入学人数多了，并且到达了最高点

　　题目分析：

　　原文说到学生数量的时候提到了一个并列关系，就是 have grown steadily 和 are at a record high 这两个之间形成的并列关系。

　　A 用 have 和 are 而发起者是 number，主谓不一致，干掉。

　　B 选项说 reaching 就和前面形成不了并列关系了，干掉。

　　C reach 的发起者变成 students 了，不对，学生是无法到达历史最高点的。

　　D 用 has grown 和 has reached，形成了并列关系，并且主谓保持一致，留着。

　　E are at a record high 的发起者变成学生了，犯的错误和 C 类似，杀!

　　题2：The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a complex regional system of roads.

　　(A) with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were

　　(B) with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,

　　(C) of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each that had been

　　(D) of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each

　　(E) of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms each had been

　　原文意思：

　　说一个建筑物建筑规模比较宏大，有 75 个 structure，有 600 多个 room 并且和各种道路相连

　　题目分析：

　　A 有不止一个谓语，were built 是一个后面的 were connected 是另外一个，干掉。

　　B 前面用 with 后面用 of up， 形成并列关系表示建筑物的两个特点进行并列， 还可以， 留着。

　　C 后面的 of up to 600 rooms 变成修饰 structure 了，这个 of 短语应该修饰 scale 的，语义不对，干掉。

　　D 犯的错误和 C 类似，干掉。

　　E 又是相同错误，干掉!

　　GMAT语法题做题要点：

　　GMAT语法题目中有些选项是有绝对的语法错误，而有些选项则表面上看来是没基本语法问题的，它的问题可能是：表达不清楚、重复啰唆或者违反了商业常规用法。

　　其次，具备基本的语法知识和划分长难句。所有的英语句子都是由“主谓宾/主系表+修饰”这样的构成方式，在面对语法中一些看似长且语意复杂的句子时，需要快速“去修饰、找主干”。因为对任何一个原来句子的改进都是建立在尽量不改变原来句子意思、结构和逻辑关系的基础上，考生只有很好的把握到句子的主干核心才能在做题时快速做出正确的判断。

　　第三，了解考试主要的几大语法考察点：主谓一致、谓语时态、比较平行、指代问题、固定搭配、修饰问题和逻辑表达。

　　第四， 有些我们母语的表达习惯可能会影响我们对题的判断。

　　第五，多做题，多总结。每个人的知识缺陷和做题方法都不一样，应该在自己练习的过程中不断总结来提升自己的速度和正确率。

　　最后，考前一个月必须在电脑上练习。如果不提前适应电脑屏幕和不能做符号标注的考试模式，可能在考试的时候，会一定程度上降低自己的正确率。

　　考语法，就是在考查考生在众多原则中的权衡和抉择，分清什么要执着固守，什么可灵活应变。
