SAT语法IP题型分类解析

SAT语法IP题型分类解析SAT语法IP题型总共是6道小题，主要是对于逻辑的考查，大家最恼火的也许就是时间问题，最好预留给这部分7分钟，其中2分钟快速浏览文章，特别是开头句，明白大概讲的是什么，然后5分钟用于答题。

这部分主要是由两种类型的题目组成：语法题和文章题。

1、语法题(1) 划线修改(2) 二合一体考点：a. 语法结构;b. 从平行并列的两个句子中，找出两个句子的重心;c. 从句意上，考两个句子的连接词。

难点：题目出得很长。

单句>从句>分词>平行句(3) 代词的指代(4) 不划线修改有错改错，没错删整句。

2、文章题难点：阅读题(1) 中心思想(2) 在文章最前端或者最末端添加句子——关于文章的中心思想的概括(3) 文章中间加句子a. 从语法角度考，如代词指代不明;b. 做某个概念的解释和说明。

(4) 概括和举例之间的关系SAT语法最高频知识点总结Compliment/Complement -Compliment with an 'i' means to say something nice, while complement with an 'e' means to match well with. "I like the cake" is a compliment. "I brought a pie" would be a complement. You can remember because it is I who gives compliments.Discreet/Discrete -To be discreet is to be secretive or careful (i.e. thieves are discreet when they steal. To be discrete means to be separated (i.e. two different piles of objects are discrete piles). Always look to see if there's a 't' to separate the two 'e's.Who/Whom -If you want to figure out which one is correct, rephrase the sentence as a question and then answer it. For example, to know the correct use in "Mr. Porter called the author who/whom he met in Portland", change it to "who did he meet in Portland?" and then answer the question. If the answer would be "he", use who; if the answer would be "him", use whom. Mr. Porter met 'him' in Portland, so it should be "Mr. Porter called the author whom he met in Portland." Notice that both 'him' and 'whom' end with 'm'.Less/Fewer and Amount/Number -Every sign in the grocery store you see that says, "10 items or less" is grammatically incorrect. It should read "10 items or fewer." Use the word'fewer' with things you can count, and use the word 'less' with items you cannot. For example, there is less sand at this beach, so there are fewer people here. You can't count 'sand', but you can count people. The same rule is true for amount and number. The small amount of soda in your glass means you should have a smaller number of ice cubes. We can't count 'soda', but we can count ice cubes. Affect/Effect -In most cases, 'affect' will be a verb, and 'effect' will be a noun. If the word is preceded by an article (a or the), a preposition (into, for, etc.), or an adjective, the correct choice will be 'effect'. Note that 'effect' can also be a verb if it is being used in the sense that something brought something else into existence. "I affected the melon's price" means that I changed it. "I effected the melon's price" means that I created it.Precede/Proceed -To precede means to come before, while to proceed means to continue. You can remember this because 'e' comes before 'o' in the alphabet.Bi-/Semi- -The difference between biannual and semiannual is that bi- means every two years, and semi- means twice a year. Semi- has more letters than bi-, so it occurs more frequently.Councilor/Counselor -A councilor is a member of a council, while a counselor is one who gives advice. In some ways, you can consider a counselor to be one who sells their advice. Hanged/Hung -Pictures are hung and people are hanged. It is incorrect to say that, "the outlaw was hung at noon." He was hanged at noon.Elicit/Illicit -Detectives try to elicit information from witnesses (it's a verb), while thingsthat are naughty or illegal are illicit (it's an adjective). You can remember because things that are illegal are illicit.Imply/Infer -If you are implying something, you are giving information. If you are inferring something, you are interpreting information. For example, by creating this list of common errors tested on the SAT, I am implying that you should study grammar, and you can infer that your score will increase if you do.SAT文章阅读考试常见题目汇总SAT阅读部分的测试时间为70分钟，共65道选择题，每道选择题有五项选择，其中只有一项选择为正确答案。

但是原句的错位修饰(corner played)导致了句意变成了“我们儿时玩的角落”(play with corner)，试想角落要怎么去玩呢?实在谬以千里。

正确答案为C选项，补充一下，B和E句子结构混乱罗嗦，主谓逻辑不分，完全违背sat语法的规则; 而D是RUN-ON SENTENCE，考试的时候这类选项应快速跳过，直奔核心选项。

In metalwork one advantage of adhesive-bonding over spot-welding is that the contact, and hence thebonding, is effected continuously over a broad surface instead of a series of regularly spaced points with nobonding in between.(A) instead of(B) as opposed to(C) in contrast with(D) rather than at(E) as against being a参考答案见下一页：参考答案：Answer to Question 31Choice D is best. Choice A illogically compares skills to a disinclination; choice B compares skills to manypeople. Choice C makes the comparison logical by casting analytical skills as the subject of the sentence, butit is awkward and unidiomatic to say skills bring out a disinclination. Also in C, the referent of they is unclear,and weak to a degree changes the meaning of the original statement. In E, have a disinclination... whilewilling is grammatically incomplete, and admit their lack should be admit to their lack. By making people thesubject of the sentence, D best expresses the intended contrast, which pertains not so much to skills as topeople's willingness to recognize different areas of weakness.Answer to Question 32Choice B is best. Choices A and C illogically state that some buildings were both destroyed and damaged; or isneeded to indicate that each of the buildings suffered either one fate or the other. In using only one verb tense,were, A fails to indicate that the buildings were constructed before the earthquake occurred. Choices C and Duse the present perfect tense incorrectly, saying in effectthat the buildings have been constructed after theywere destroyed last year. Choice E suggests that the construction of the buildings, rather than the earthquake,occurred last year, thus making the sequence of events unclear. Only B uses verb tenses correctly to indicatethat construction of the buildings was completed prior to the earthquake.Answer to Question 33Choice A is best. The activities listed are presented as parallel ideas and should thus be expressed ingrammatically parallel structures. Choice A correctly uses the simple past tense defined to parallel organizedand provided. Choice A also correctly joins the last two parallel phrases with and and clearly expresses therelationship of rights and obligations toresources. Choice C preserves parallelism but is wordy, and its has no logical referent. Choices B, D, and Eeach replace the verb phrase with a subordinate modifier, violating parallelism and making the statementsungrammatical. Furthermore, it is unclear what defining ... consumption in B is intended to modify; in D,whose incorrectly attributes rights and obligations to resources', and E presents rights and obligations asdefining, rather than as being defined.Answer to Question 34Choices A, B, and C are flawed because the countable noun dioxins should be modified by many rather thanmuch, which is used with uncountable nouns such as"work" and "happiness." In addition, both A and Cincorrectly use the singular verb comes with the plural noun dioxins. Choices C and D are needlessly wordy,and D requires that before North Americans, to be grammatically complete. Choice E, the best answer, is bothgrammatically correct and concise.Answer to Question 35A comma is needed after Rhone in choices A and D to set off the modifying phrase that begins Vincent...;without the comma, the phrase appears to be part of the main clause, and it is thus unclear what noun shouldgovern the verb sold. Furthermore, it in A has no logical referent, and being in D is not idiomatic. Choices B andE produce the illogical statement that the painting wasthe second highest price. Choice C, the best answer,avoids this problem by using a noun phrase in which price clearly refers to $20.2 million. And by using acomma after Rhone to set off the phrase that modifies The Bridge of Trinquetaille, C makes the painting thesubject of was sold.Answer to Question 36Choice A is best. The phrasing are native to correctly suggests that the toad species is indigenous to, and stillexists in, South America. In B, native in is unidiomatic; in C and E, natives of illogically suggests that each toadnow in Florida hails from South America. In D and E, had been inaccurately implies that the toads are no longernative, or indigenous, to South America, and introducedto Florida is unidiomatic. Both as attempts in B and Eand as an attempt in D are wrong because the attempt consists not of the toads themselves, but of theirintroduction into the environment. The correct phrase, in an attempt, should be completed by an infinitive (here,to control), as in A.Answer to Question 37Choice B is best: in sentences expressing a conditional result (x will happen ify happens), the verb of the mainclause should be in the future tense and the verb of the if clause should be in the present indicative. Thus, istaught (in B) is consistent with will take, whereas would be taught (in A and E) and was taught (in D) are not.For clarity, only in C, D, and E should immediatelyprecede the entire;/clause that it is meant to modify. Also, theintended meaning is distorted when the adverb separately is used to modify required, as in A and C, or taught,as in E; B correctly uses the adjective separate to modify course.Answer to Question 38All of the choices but D contain ambiguities. In A and B the words which and where appear to refer tosediments, and in E it is not clear what consistent describes. In A, C, and E, there is no logical place to whichthere or its could refer. In D, the best choice, the phrase sediments from the Baltic Sea tells where thesediments originate, findings provides a noun for consistent to modify, and in the area clearly identifies wherethe industrial activity is growing.Answer to Question 39Choice C is best because the participle protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did. Choices Aand B awkwardly use the singular word method to refer to items of military equipment rather than to the useof such items. Also, a method of protecting would be more idiomatic than a method to protect in A or amethod protecting in B. In B and D, as is incorrect; also, a protection in D has no noun for which it canlogically substitute. Choice E is incomplete; used to protect would have been acceptable.Answer to Question 40The corrected sentence must contrast an effect ofspot-welding with an effect of adhesive-bonding. To do sologically and grammatically, it must describe the effects in parallel terms. When inserted into the sentence, Dproduces the parallel construction over a broad surface rather than at a series. Having no word such as overor at indicate location, choices A, B, and C fail to complete the parallel and so illogically draw a contrast betweensurface and series. In E, as against being is a wordy and unidiomatic way to establish the intended contrast.Choice D is best.21。

However much United States voters may agree that there is waste in government and that the government as a whole spends beyond its means, it is difficult to find broad support for a movement toward a minimal state.(A) However much United States voters may agree that(B) Despite the agreement among United States voters to theAnswer to Question 1Choice D is best. The phrasing a divorce that occurred when they were children correctly uses the relativeclause that occurred to modify a divorce and includes a pronoun and verb (they were) that refer unambiguously to their antecedent, men and women. Choice A incorrectly introduces the when... phrase withoccurring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of when a child; furthermore, the singularchild does not agree with the plural men and women. B replaces child with children but otherwise fails to156correct A's errors of structure and logic, and C corrects only the error created by occurring. Choice E includesan incorrect verb tense (has occurred) and wrongly replaces when with as. Also, each was does not properlyrefer to men and women.Answer to Question 2In choice C, the best answer, an area about the size of Colorado clearly describes a rough equivalencebetween the area of Colorado and the area overseen by the companies. In A and B, the plural verb have doesnot agree with the singular subject number. Choice A is also wordy, since that is can be deleted without loss ofclarity. The absence of an area in B and E impairs clarity: the phrase beginning with about must modify a nounsuch as area that is logically equivalent to the number of acres given. In D and E up to is unidiomatic; thecorrect expression is from x to y. In D, the size of Colorado's is unidiomatic, since of Colorado forms acomplete possessive.Answer to Question 3Because the verb phrases used to describe the bats' duties are governed by the phrase different duties suchas, they should each be expressed in the present participial (or "-ing") form to parallel defending and scouting.Choices A, C, D, and E all violate parallelism by employing infinitives (to...) in place of participial phrases. In Ethe singular sentinel is not consistent with residents, and the omission of and distorts themeaning of theoriginal. Only B, the best answer, preserves the sense of the original, uses the correct idiom, and observes theparallelism required among and within the three main verb phrases.Answer to Question 4For parallelism, the linking verb is should link two infinitives: The only way to salvage ... is to process. ChoiceA begins with an infinitive, but the plural pronouns them and they do not agree with the singular noun citrus.Choices B, C, and D do not begin with an infinitive, and all present pronoun errors: the plural pronouns cannotgrammatically refer to citrus or fruit, nor can they refer to farmers without absurdity. The best choice, E, hasparallel infinitives and uses fruit to refer unambiguously to citrus. E also expresses the cause-and-effectrelationship between the return of warmer weather and the rotting of the fruit; A, C, and D merely describe theseevents as contemporaneous.Answer to Question 5Choices A, C, and E do not state the comparison logically. The expression as old as indicates equality of age,but the sentence indicates that the Brittany monuments predate the Mediterranean monuments by 2,000 years.In B, the best choice, older than makes this point of comparison clear. B also correctly uses the adjectivesupposed, rather than the adverb supposedly used in D and E, to modify the noun phrase Mediterraneanpredecessors.Answer to Question 6Although an "-ing" verb such as trying can sometimes be used as a noun, the phrase the organism's trying tometabolize in A is unidiomatic because trying is used as the object of organism's. In B, trying that itmetabolize is ungrammatical. The noun attempt could follow organism's; also, it would parallel the nounenzymes, and parallelism is needed here because the sentence uses the linking verb are to equate enzymesand attempt. In C and D, however, attempt to try is redundant. Choice E, which says attempt to metabolize, isbest. The phrase the chemical irritant is also the most concise and precise conclusion for the sentence157because it clearly refers to the dioxin mentioned earlier.Answer to Question 7The best choice is C. The phrase the more the children should be completed by a parallel phrase that beginswith a comparative adjective and a noun phrase, as in the greater their... advantage. Only C correctlycompletes the structure with a parallel phrase. Choices A. B, D, and E present structures that are unwieldy andawkward in addition to being nonparallel, and that state the relationship between language use and skillsdevelopment less clearly than C does. Also, underlaying in B and underlay in D are incorrect; the meaning ofthis sentence requires the present participle of "underlie," underlying, as a modifier of skills.Answer to Question 8Choices A and B incorrectly use the plural verb are with the singular noun equipment. In B, C, and E, whenused by does not parallel amount... used by and nonsensically suggests that the people are used by theequipment. D, the best choice, correctly parallels the amount... used by with that used by, in which that is thepronoun substitute for amount. Moreover, D solves the agreement problem of A and B by omitting the to be verbused with visible and placing visible before equipment', the phrase visible equipment is also parallel withunobtrusive equipment.Answer to Question 9Choice E is best. The pronoun that in A and B should be deleted, since the pronoun one is sufficient to introducethe modifier and the sentence is more fluid without that. In B and C, it and that it are intrusive andungrammatical: the idiom is "believe x to be y." In the context of this sentence, the infinitive to be is moreappropriate than the limited present-tense is in referring to an event that occurred long ago but has beendiscovered only recently. Finally, A, B, and D lack o/and so illogically equate this particular explosion with thewhole class of explosions to which it belongs: it is not a type but possibly one of a type.Answer to Question 10A is the best choice. Choices B, C, and D incorrectly omit that after agree; that is needed to create the parallelconstruction agree that there is waste . . . and that the government... spends. Choice E, though it retainsthat, is grammatically incorrect: because E starts with an independent rather than a subordinateclause andseparates its two independent clauses with a comma, it creates a run-on sentence with no logical connectionestablished between the halves. In B, the agreement ... to the fact is unidiomatic, and B, C, and E alter thesense of the original sentence by saying that voters agree rather than that they may agree.11. Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, "the good goddess."(A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers(B) Basing it on various ancient writers' accounts(C) With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis(D) By the accounts of various ancient writers they used(E) Using accounts of various ancient writers12. Formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same way 108 as they do to established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium.(A) Formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do to established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium.(B) Because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium, formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do to established big businesses.(C) Because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium, new small businesses are not subject to the same applicability of formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity as established big businesses.(D) Because new small businesses are growing and are seldom in equilibrium, formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to them in the same way as to established big businesses.(E) New small businesses are not subject to the applicability of formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity in the same way as established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium.13. State officials report that soaring rates of liability insurance have risen to force cutbacks in the operations of everything from local governments and school districts to day-care centers and recreational facilities.(A) rates of liability insurance have risen to force(B) rates of liability insurance are a force for(C) rates for liability insurance are forcing(D) rises in liability insurance rates are forcing(E) liability insurance rates have risen to force14.

An array of tax incentives has led to a boom in the construction of new office buildings; so abundant has capital been for commercial real estate that investors regularly scour the country for areas in which to build.(A) so abundant has capital been for commercial real estate that(B) capital has been so abundant for commercial real estate, so that(C) the abundance of capital for commercial real estate has been such,(D) such has the abundance of capital been for commercial real estate that(E) such has been an abundance of capital for commercial real estate,Answer to Question 11In choice A, the introductory clause beginning Based on modifies scholars, the noun that immediately follows it:in other words, A says that scholars were based on the accounts of various ancient writers. Choice B isawkward and imprecise in that the referent for the pronoun it is not immediately clear. C and D are also wordyand awkward, and in D By the accounts... they used is an unidiomatic and roundabout way of saying thatscholars used me accounts. E, the best choice, is clear and concise; it correctly uses a present participle (or"-ing" verb) to introduce the modifier describing how the scholars worked.Answer to Question 12In A, the they after because is ambiguous; it seems illogically to refer to Formulas because they and Formulas158are each the grammatical subject of a clause and because the previous they refers to Formulas. In A and B, donot apply to... in the same way as they do to is wordy and awkward. D, the best choice, says more conciselyin the same way as to. Also in B, because they refers to formulas, the introductory clause states confusedlythat the formulas are growing. In C and E, subject to the [same] applicability of... is wordy, awkward, andimprecise; furthermore, are is preferable either before or after established big businesses to complete thecomparison. Finally, the referent of they is not immediately clear in E.Answer to Question 13In choices A and B, rates of is incorrect; when rates means "prices charged," it should be followed by for. Alsoin B, are a force for does not accurately convey the meaning that the soaring rates are actually forcing cutbacksin the present. In A and E, it is redundant to say that soaring rates have risen. Similarly, the word rises makes Dredundant. C, the best choice, is idiomatic and concise, and it correctly uses the progressive verb form areforcing to indicate an ongoing situation.Answer to Question 14D, the best choice, correctly follows estimated with to be. The other choices present structures that are notidiomatic when used in conjunction with estimated. Choices B, C, and E all mismatch the singular verbprovides with its plural subject, fragments, and in choices C and E, what was is unnecessary and wordy. Inchoice C, the use of the verb phrase estimated that it is produces an ungrammatical sentence.Answer to Question 15The best choice is C because it uses the idiomatically correct expression distinguishes between x and y andbecause it provides a structure in which the relative clause beginning which may be violent clearly modifiesmood swings. The other choices use distinguishes in unidiomatic constructions. Additionally, their in A isintrusive and unnecessary, and the modifier of mood swings in B and D (perhaps violent) is awkward and lessclear than the more developed clause which may be violent.Answer to Question 16Choice E, the best answer, correctly uses a parallel construction to draw a logical comparison: Unlike a typicalautomobile loan,... a lease-loan.... Choice A illogically compares an automobile loan, an inanimate thing, witha lease-loan buyer, a person. In choice C, buyers makes the comparison inconsistent in number as well asillogical. Choices B and D are syntactically and logically flawed because each attempts to compare the nounloan and a prepositional phrase: with lease-loan buying in B and/or the lease-loan buyer in D. Choices B andD are also imprecise and awkward. Finally, choiceE is the only option that supplies an active verb form, doesnot require, to parallel requires.Answer to Question 17Choice A is best because it correctly uses the simple past tense, the residents... at that time were, andbecause it is the most concise. In B and D, the replacement of were with the past perfect had been needlesslychanges the original meaning by suggesting that the Native Americans had previously ceased to be part of thewidespread culture. All of the choices but A are wordy, and in C, D, and E the word people redundantlydescribes the residents rather than the larger group to which the residents belonged. These choices are alsoimprecise because they state that the culture, rather than people, spoke the Algonquian language. Choice Edisplays inconsistent tenses and an error of pronoun reference, people which.159Answer to Question 18Each choice but C contains errors of agreement. In both A and E, the singular subject (each in A, every one in E)does not agree with the plural verb were, while in D, the plural subject women is mismatched with the singularverb was. In B, the subject and verb agree, but the descriptive phrase placed between them creates an illogicalstatement because each cannot be wives; each can be one of the wives, or a wife. The pronoun constructionsin A, B, D, and E are wordy; also, B, D, and E are very awkwardly structured and do not convey the point aboutHemingway's wives clearly. Choice C correctly links wives with were, eliminates the unnecessary pronouns,and provides a clearer structure.Answer to Question 19In this sentence, the initial clause modifies the nearest noun, identifying it as the thing being compared withwheat. By making protein the noun modified, choices A, C, and D illogically compare wheat with protein andclaim that the protein in rice has more protein than wheat does. In C and D, the comparative structure higher inquality than it is in wheat absurdly suggests that rice protein contains wheat. B, the best choice, logicallycompares wheat to rice by placing the noun rice immediately after the initial clause. B also uses that to refer toprotein in making the comparison between the proteins of rice and wheat. Choice E needs either that in ordoes after wheat to make a complete and logical comparison.Answer to Question 20Choice A is best. The construction so abundant has capital been... that correctly and clearly expresses therelationship between the abundance and the investors' response. In choice B, the repetition of so is illogical andunidiomatic. Choices C, D, and E alter somewhat the intended meaning of the sentence; because of its positionin these statements, such functions to mean "of a kind" rather than to intensify abundant. Choice D awkwardlyseparates has and been, and the omission of that from C and E makes those choices ungrammatical.21. Defense attorneys have occasionally argued that their clients' misconduct stemmed froma reaction to something ingested, but in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the perpetrators are in effect told that they are not responsible for their actions.(A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy(B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food 110(C) in attributing behavior that is criminal or delinquent to an allergy to some food(D) if some food allergy is attributed as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior(E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior22.
