SAT每日一题之语法题大全-附答案

致同学：

对于广大SAT考生来说，SAT1官方网站

（https://www.360docs.net/doc/3f4192960.html,2）公布的“每日一题”（Question of the

Day3）一直是很容易被忽视的备考资料。“每日一题”作为除

SAT官方指南、Online Course4、真题之外的官方备考材料，

其大多数题目的出题思路均很好地吻合了真题的出题思路，

而且，这么好的材料居然是免费的。所以，它应该是考生宝

贵的备考资料。但是，什么原因使它很容易被忽视呢？

主要原因在于，“每日一题”每天公布一道，许多同学

由于作业繁重等原因并没有做这些题；少数做了“每日一题”

的同学，由于精力有限，并没有把题目汇总、及时地进行总

结。于是，我便产生了这样的想法：为何不把这些宝贵的题

目搜集、整理到一起，方便广大考生的复习呢？于是，你现

在看到的这个编辑精美的小文档就诞生了！文档中的题目是作者辛苦地搜集了过去两年时间里所有的“每日一题”题目得到的，本文档还会不断更新，请大家关注。

欢迎大家转载、引用本材料，请注明作者即可。

各位考生还可将本资料与本人的《SAT语法部分备考建议》，《SAT官方指南语法ISE题目分类》，《SAT官方指南语法中文解答》，《SAT语法部分OG必会题》等结合使用，以求达到更好的复习效果。

衷心祝愿各位SAT考试取得好成绩！
