1997年GMAC將GMAT改為計算機考試，並從一年四次考試增加為一年216次。考試次數增加，人數增多，評分工作量增大，故而E-Rater被引進到電腦考試作文的判分工作中。GMAC已經認為E-Rater軟體判分相對於傳統的由教師閱讀判分要更為有效。以下是小編為大家搜尋整理的2017年GMAT句子改錯模擬試題帶解析，希望對正在關注的您有所幫助!更多精彩內容請及時關注我們應屆畢業生考試網!
According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
(A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
(B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
(C) in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
答案解析如下：(A)that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
【正確】 “that ”引導的從句作同位語正確地修飾了“confidence”，敘述了“資訊”的具體內容，過去完成時的“had feared”與“earlier in the year(今年更早些時候)”語義搭配合理。
【大意】 根據一些分析師的說法，股票市場的利得反映了正在增長的信心：經濟將避免早些時候人們擔憂的衰退並達到一個由商業活動逐漸增加跟隨著的“軟著陸”。
(B)in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
【錯誤1】 平行結構：有日常邏輯可知，“to avoid the recession”和“to come”本意上應是平行的'，但兩個平行的物件不能僅僅用“rather”一個詞連線。
【錯誤2】 固定搭配：不存在“confidence in X to do sth.”表達“對X做某事有信心”的用法。
(C)in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
【錯誤】 平行結構：有日常邏輯可知，“to avoid the recession”和“to come”本意上應是平行的，但兩個平行的物件不能僅僅用“rather”一個詞連線。
(D)in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
【錯誤1】 動詞時態：“many were fearing”遜於過去完成時的“had feared”，因為“had feared”和“earlier in the year”更加搭配——今年更早些時候，屬於“過去的過去”。
【錯誤2】 固定搭配：見(B)中【錯誤2】。
(E)that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
【錯誤1】 動詞時態：類似地，見(D)中【錯誤1】。
【錯誤2】 簡潔明瞭：在GMAT考察的標準書面英語中，主動句簡潔性優於被動句，因此“that was feared”簡潔性遜於(A)中“that many had feared”。
【最優解題思路推薦】(C)中兩個本應平行的“to do”結構沒有“and”連線，排除，不存在“confidence in X to do sth.”表達“對X做某事有信心”的用法，排除(B)、(D)。
(A)比(B)相對簡潔，因此選擇(A)。
