如何提高SAT语法题的答题效率

SAT考试中，语法选择题的正确率很大程度上决定了写作单项最后的得分。怎样提高做题效率?我们可以从三种题型的特点出发，对症下药。

ISE题型要求：辨别语法和搭配错误。要求学生在做题的过程中有错则改，无错选E. 该题型较少涉及到对句意的考察，所以在做题的过程中，我们可以直接从划线部分入手，逐个排除考点。如：

Jerome often referred to (A) art history textbooks while he (B) was sculpting; whenever he learned a new method in art class, he seeks out (C) the work of sculptors who had used it (D) in the past. No error (E)

A选项考察固定搭配refer to。B选项考察代词;C选项划线部分是谓语动词--时态和主谓一致。整句话的时态是一般过去时，而划线部分是一般现在时，出现了穿越现象，所以答案选C

IS题型要求：辨别出简洁有效的句子。该题型的特点是，不选对的，只选好的。然而这个“好”的标准，对于SAT来说，就是用尽量紧凑的句子来达意。针对这个特点，我们平时在备考的过程中就应该去积累一些SAT比较青睐的“好”句型，如：

1. 简单句

2. S,…，VO插入语句型

3. SVO;SVO 分号连接两个并列句

4. doing/done, SVO

5. SVO, which/who……

6. SVO, thereby doing

(P.S.文中的SVO指一个句子，S代表主语，V代表谓语动词) 如：

During the labor dispute, barrels of potatoes were emptied across the highway, and they thereby blocked it to all traffic.

(A) highway, and they thereby blocked it to all traffic

(B) highway and therefore blocking it to all traffic

(C) highway, by which all traffic was therefore blocked

(D) highway, and therefore this had all traffic blocked

(E) highway, thereby blocking all traffic

题中除了C选项有语法错误之外，其他四个选项都没有明显的语法错误，选项E中有句

型SVO, thereby doing……所以通过积累的句型，我们可以快速把答案揪出来。

IP题型要求：理解文章中心，句间关系和段间关系。根据要求，我们拿到IP文章，首先要做的是通过每段的主旨句快速确定文章的中心和框架。如：

Questions 30-35 are based on following passage.

(1) Employers must be aware of their employees and the variety of situations that arise in the workplace. (2) Employers should become familiar with the demands a worker faces. (3) But he or she too should also assume responsibility.

(4) Some workplace problems are caused by the employer's insufficient attention to the needs of the workers. (5) One familiar situation is the concern of the boss for the customer's satisfaction above all else. (6) Often unreasonable demands are made on an employee to satisfy the customers. (7) This results from an employer's lack of consideration for employees. (8) Workers often become resentful of an employer who is unconcerned about their needs. (9) Sometimes the employer does not listen fully to suggestions from employees this can make workers feel undervalued.

(10) Many times employers must deal with an employee who ties up the phone for hours or has friends who continually drop by during working hours. (11) If workers would take more responsibility, then maybe an employer would be a little more easily tempted to promote them.

(12) There are many problems to be solved in the workplace. (13) In order to achieve a happy balance between boss and employee, the job of a worker should - be clearly defined. (14) Employers should listen to workers' ideas about improving working conditions.

这篇文章的中心是：雇主和雇员需要增强沟通来维护好的工作环境。

第二段：工作上的问题源于雇主对于雇员的忽视

第三段：雇员在工作上也存在问题

第四段: 结尾呼应主题，工作的和谐需要雇主和雇员共同的努力。

在确定了文章的框架之后，理解句间关系和段间关系就变得简单多了。

30. Which of the following, if inserted before sentence 1, would make a good introduction to the essay?

• A. To avoid problems in the workplace, one must first recognize the variety of workplaces that exist.

• B. Many employees do not feel free to communicate with their employers, which can cause difficulties.

• C .Some employers have tried to respect their employees.

• D. Communication between an employer and employees is necessary for maintaining good working conditions.

• E. In the future, relations between employers and employees will be different from what they are now.

这道题属于插句题，如果在文章的篇首插入一个句子，那么我们选择的句子必须是能概括全文内容的中心句，根据我们对于这篇文章中心的理解，这道题应该是雇主和雇员需要增强沟通来维护好的工作环境，所以选D.
