序言:在考试前,掌握好一些常见句型、考试相关的基础知识对考生们来说是一件百利无一害的事。新航道总结了一些常见的考试句型和考试信息,希望广大考生根据自己的实际掌握情况进行综合运用,只有适合自己的备考方法才会有效提高我们的成绩。
一、题型介绍
语法测试属于SAT reasoning test中的写作(writing)部分,与essay writing一起组成写作的大板块。整个语法部分包括三种题型: ISE(Identifying sentence errors,即挑错题)18小题、IS(Improving sentences,即句子改进题)25小题、IP(Improving paragraphs,即段落改进题)6小题,所有题目均为五选一。在这三类题目中, 对IS题目的考察犹为明显。一般来说,完成一道题目需要经过读题、解答、检查的过程。读题的过程既包括了读题干和读选项两部分。读题干的过程中对句子含义的理解(总体意思和划线部分与整句的关系)约占百分之三十左右,而对句子结构的理解(抛出非中心部分,找出主语中心词、谓语动词及宾语中心词)约占了百分之七十。如此分析句子的目的是找出一些常见的差异部分(比如动词三单?逗号分号?代词单复?时态差异?)。差异即考点。一旦考点被锁定,接下来我们运用考点,直接最“正确”的选项。讲究快。先看最有可能的选项。同时注意自杀词的出现。最后就看你所选的SVO和“,”和“;”是否有问题。大概4秒可以完成。我们所提到的考点主要是针对SAT常考的词法,句法,段法进行归纳,但要综合的去运用,不要孤立去学习。
下面列出的是一个粗略统计的语法常考条目表:.

接下来的内容中,本文总结了一些常见的考试句型和考试信息,希望广大考生根据自己的实际掌握情况进行综合运用
二、常考句型

(一) 主谓一致
主谓一致一直都是SAT考试的热点,每套题出现的频率都在三个以上。做这种题需要把握句子的结构,找出SVO是关键。
经典句型:主语,同位语/分词短语,动词
应试技巧:我们需要做的是釜底抽薪,要勇敢的抛弃非中心部分,找到中心的主语。

(一) 逻辑主语
经典句型:doing/(having)done/done/ to do, svo
应试技巧:当分词或者不定式放在句首,一定要考虑它的主语问题。一般情况下,句首是现在分词或者不定式的主动态,主语通常是人;句首是过去分词主语通常是物。但是考生在解题时一定要留意特殊情况,主语究竟是发出句首分词描述的动作,还是个承受者。
