英语句子的简洁性是英语写作的高级目标，学会写简洁的句子是一个人语言应用能力的重要体现。当然，简洁并不完全意味着最短的选项即为正确答案，有时候当你选择一个过于简短的选项，会失去部分有效的句意。下面来看下新SAT语法中如何做到简洁性。
所谓“简洁性”是指用尽可能少的词和尽可能简单的句式结构表达尽可能多的内容，可有遵循以下原则：
1.删去或简化无实义的表达
Original: He is a man who is always busy. He often switches in a hasty manner from one task to the next.
More concise: He is always busy. He often switches hastily from one task to the next.
尽管在这两个例句中，前后两句话含义相同，但毫无疑问，改造后的句子要简洁得多，它们符合表达的“经济性”原则。要提高英语表达的效果和效率，就要设法提高语言表达的简洁性。
同学们可以将下表中列举的简洁化表达运用于做题中：
Cutting empty words
Original More concise
At all timesAlways
At the present time Currently
At this point in time Now
For the purpose of For
The question as to whether Whether
Used for the purpose of Used for
Due to the fact thatBecause (表示原因使用because最简)
Because of the fact thatBecause
The reason why…… is thatBecause
In spite of /despite the fact that Although
Call your attention to the fact thatRemind you that
The question as to whether Whether
There is no doubtNo doubt
Used for fuel purposeUsed for fuel
He is a man whoHe
In a hasty mannerHastily
In the final analysis Finally
For the purpose ofFor
2.避免重复
Original: Novice drivers who do not have much experience driving are more More precise: likely to be involved in car accidents.
More concise: Novice drivers are more likely to be involved in car accidents.
在第一句中，“we do not have much experience driving”是不必要的，因为我们已经得知他们是 “novice drivers”。因为“Novice”表示的就是缺乏经验的新手，不需要重复使用 “do not have much experience driving”。
那么，我们来结合题目看看如何做到不使用重复的词：
The pattern Box observed in 2012 may repeat itself again, with harmful effects on the Arctic ecosystem.(OG P357)
A)NO CHANGE
B)Itself,
C)Itself, with damage and
D)Itself possibly,
正确选项：B
通过判断，我们会发现题目中的repeat和选项A中的again重复，题目中的harmful effects和选项C中的damage重复，题目中的may和选项D中的possibly重复，所以正确答案为B。类似重复的表达还有 “each year”和”annually”, “at the same time”和 “simultaneously”等，希望同学们可以在做题过程中多多积累。
