在SAT 文法授课过程中,总是听到个别小伙伴说“我要把文章通通都!读!完!都!读! 懂!”。今天我们就来分析平均在每次考试中都出现2-3 次的一种题型“句子合并题”。
这类题本身难度不大,然而很多小伙伴在遇到时不知道该如何下手,往往耗时过多在读题和选项上,导致其他题目做题时间被压缩,影响正确率。下面就针对SAT 合并句子题进行讲解,希望可以帮助大家更好的备考SAT 考试。
题目的特点:Which choice most effectively combines the underlined sentence?
这种题不是纯粹的语法改错题,换言之,原文从语法层面看并没有时态、主谓一致之类的语法错误,而是要求将划线的两个语法正确的句子合并以达到符合作者的表达意图。
因此我们在解此类题型的思维方式大致可以从以下几个步骤出发:
1. 一般只需理解划线句子前一句或后一句即可,也就是确定哪一句要作为主要信息凸显出来,哪一句作为次要信息被弱化。
2. 要突出的句子作为句子主干或主句,需弱化的句子则转化为插入语、同位语、非限定性定于从句、状语从句等成分。
3. 通过标点符号、代词、修饰语的位置等语法手段化繁为简快速判断选项,尤其对于句子特别长又比较复杂的题目或选项。
Example 1:
Typically, the ice sheet begins to show evidence of thawing in late summer.This follows several weeks of higher temperatures.
Which choice most effectively combines the two sentences at the underlined portion?
A. summer, following
B. summer, and this thawing follows
C. summer, and such thawing follows
D. summer and this evidence follows
利用代词的指代进行适当合并。
分析句子不难发现,题目中的主干句是the ice sheet begins to show evidence of thawing in late summer,
分析句子不难发现,题目中的主干句是the ice sheet begins to show evidence of thawing in late summer,
A 选项中, 直接在主句后使用现在分词短语following several weeks of higher temperatures,在这样的结构中,分词短语与主句之间用逗号隔开,此时分词短语在全句中起状语作用,相当于是一个修饰的成分,因此A 选项结构最为简洁,相当于简单句。
根据简洁原则,语法中的简单句> 复合句> 并列句,而BCD三个选项中的结构均为and连接两个完整句,属于并列句,因此A 选项具有选择优先性。
利用标点的作用进行适当合并。
Example 2:
The idea is obviously very attractive. An obscure method of photography may be made available to many with little expense.
Which choice most effectively combines the two sentences at the underlined portion?
A. With the idea is obviously very attractive, an obscure method of photography may be made available to many with little expense.
B. The idea is obviously very attractive: an obscure method of photography may be made available to many with little expense.
C. An obscure method of photography may be made available to many with little expense, and the idea is obviously very attractive.
D. An obscure method of photography, an idea that is obviously very attractive, may be made available to many with little expense.
句提到上文提及的想法很attractive,后一句是对attractive 的解释。B 选项用到了冒号,冒号的功能之一就是解释,冒号后面的信息是对前面信息的解释,因此B 选项符合要求。
利用句子主次信息来进行适当合并。
以上就是句子合并题的基本套路,小伙伴们通过刻意练习达到综合运用,相信可以从而提高答题的速度和准确率。更多考试资讯,敬请关注武汉新航道SAT考试频道。
