SAT語法補習:
Neither…or…; Either… or…后面的謂語跟第二個主語保持一致。
…along with…; …as well as…; …in addition to…與第一個主語保持一致。
Both…and…就不說了,用復數(shù)形態(tài)。
固定搭配。動詞與介詞,比如look at。連詞搭配,比如either…or…一般判斷:看到有介詞劃線就注意一下。這種題目平時積累很重要!
背固定搭配的時候一定要注意介詞與不定式的區(qū)分問題!比如look forward to,to是介詞,后面的動詞要使用動名詞形式。
代詞。主格與賓格。指代不明。文中出現(xiàn)的多個代詞不一致。一般判斷方法:代詞是用來指代的。看到代詞馬上回頭尋找其指代對象。
To become a world figure-skating champion like Kristi Yamaguchi, one must be so dedicated that you will practice six hours a day. No error.
這句話的問題在于代詞使用不一致。請看one must be so dedicated that you will practice six hours a day,前面用的代詞是one,但是后文使用的是you,再理解句意,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)兩個代詞其實是在指代同一個人。所以應該把you改成one.
平行并列結構。兩個以上的分句并列時,一般美國人愛用并列結構,這樣的好處是使文章看起來工整。一般判斷方法:出現(xiàn)多個并列成分;出現(xiàn)比如from…to…等類似的經典介詞組合。注意:并列結構使SAT很喜歡考察的內容!
Each time Caroline turns on her computer, she has to enter a company code, then her initials, and then enters a password before she can begin working. No error.
讀句子,發(fā)現(xiàn)這個女人工作之前要干3件事:enter a company code, enters her initials, enters a password,這3個動作構成了并列。題干已經有提示:she has to enter a company code, then (enters)her initials, 所以剩下來的enters毫無疑問也應該省略即改成and then(enters)a password before she can begin working
A talented and versatile artist, Twyla Tharp has been a dancer, choreographer, and collaborated on various productions. No error.
還是并列結構,改成has been a dancer, choreographer, and collaborator.這樣的句子就很整潔了。寫作的時候可以用上的。
形容詞與副詞混淆。判斷:看到以后注意就行了。
Although the new device was the most clever designed bird feeder that Ms. Rodriguez had ever owned, it could not keep squirrels from stealing the birdseed. No error.
用Word一看就知道哪里有錯了……clever designed里頭,designed是動詞,clever是修飾designed的。但是修飾動詞的只有副詞,所以毫無疑問要將clever改成cleverly.
邏輯。雙重否定。
同級比較。比如My pen in more beautiful than you. Pen跟you并不是同一類事物。
