在SAT语法复习中,同学们感到不会像文章阅读那样吃力。但是语法也是SAT考试的一个重要突破口,所以同学们不能忽视语法的复习。下面来看看如何SAT语法题和逻辑完美结合。
将语法和逻辑完美结合。这话听起来很空,当然,因为凡是涉及心智和心里层面的都比较形而上学。不过各位童鞋有没有注意,大部分做错的IP题都是考虑到了语法却忽视了逻辑,反之亦然,总之,当一套IP放在你面前时,心理面先树立一个原则:每做一题,double check: check both grammar and sentence logic.我们来看两个例题:
(OGP603) 33. Which of the following is the best versionof the underlined portion of sentence 9 (reproduced below)?
Sometimes the employer does not listen fullyto suggestions from employees this can make workers feelundervalued.
(A) (Asit is now)
(B) Whensometimes they do not listen fully to suggestions from employees, this can make
(C)Because the employers had not listened fully to suggestions from employees,they made
(D) Anemployer who does not listen closely to suggestions of employees, making
(E)Sometimes an employer does not listen closely to suggestion from employees,making
刷题够多的童鞋肯定知道,这是来自OG里的一个IP,讲述的employer和employee之间的关系,分析两者在工作中都有需要改进的地方。无需上下文,这一题可以得出答案。相信你现在经过努力思考,已经有了选择。C? Is that what you want?
单纯就逻辑而言,C is good. 表示“由于雇主不认真听取雇员的建议,前者让后者感觉不受重用。”因果关系很明显。实际上呢?E才是答案。原因是C的时态错了,因为整篇文章反映的是工作中的一种客观情况,应该用一般现在时。补充一点,E的结构是SVO, doing。(doing是SVO的结果状语,也能体现出因果关系,语法常考!)
此例表明只看逻辑忽视语法(时态)是不行的。
(OGP660) 33. In context, which of thefollowing is the best version of the underlined portion of sentence 7(reproduced below)?
An earl rebelled in London, so that a messenger rode for days to tell the distant head of the Pastonfamily of a feared civil war.
(A) (As itis now)
(B) Anearl had rebelled in London, so
(C) Forexample, with a rebelling earl in London
(D) Whilean earl rebels in London,
(E) Once,when an earl rebelled in London,
这篇第五套OG的IP讲述的是:作者通过一封信了解中世纪一个家族的历史和当时所处时代的状况,如此题所述,当时交通不便,有人叛变,需策马扬鞭数天传送信息。就语法而言,C is correct and short. 不过C的with 短语打头,表伴随之意,这与E的when-引导的时间状从相比,逻辑上稍逊一筹;且C的for example(举例/打比方),可以是真实的也可以是虚构的,而此处所描述的“叛乱一说”乃历史事实,故once(曾经)更贴切。如此,C答案非常屌丝。
以上就是SAT语法题和逻辑完美结合,想要取得满分的同学一定要多加努力哦,前程百利预祝各位考生的SAT考试圆满成功。
