  新SAT语法选项含义

  简述:

  选项,可能对于每一个在课堂上学习过英语的同学来说都不陌生。新SAT语法同类考试是这样描述选项的In most cases, you are to choose the one that best expresses the idea, makes the statement appropriate for standard written English or is worded most consistently with the style and tone of the passage as a whole.这句话其实也包含了GMCC的一些点,充分证明我们之前的总结是正确的。Express the idea是meaning的要求,statement appropriate for standard written English是grammar的要求,worded consistently是concise和consistent的要求。而best是统领这些部分的,有些选项是有一个或多个缺陷的,有的题目可能四个选项可能都不是很好,这个时候需要讨论出一个的选项。这就是选项含义。

  选项含义并不是有些考生认为的“瞎蒙”,在一些涉及单词意思、文章主旨的题目中,往往最后是选项含义的思维方式帮助我们确定最后的正确答案。比如

  例题1

  Having a résumé that notes volunteer experience is highly beneficial.

  Which of the following alternatives to the underlined portion would NOT be acceptable?

  F. says

  G. lists

  H. describes

  J. Mentions

  解析1:

  Note就是记录的意思,没有什么特别之处。FGHJ在意思上与Note并不远,似乎每个选项都是可以替换的。但是每个选项都不能完美替换,比如F强调是说出的内容G强调有规律地列表H强调note的详细程度,是比较详细认真的J和H相反,可能是提及,一笔带过的感觉。似乎HJ有些矛盾,似乎每个选项都美中不足。这个时候需要我们用选项方法的思维去思考这个问题。思考这个问题的主要方式和角度就是到底这些词在这里用还有什么不妥之处?GHJ三个选项虽然都各有侧重,但是给题目中给出的背景设置并没有明显冲突的部分。然而F是有明显的冲突部分。因为say强调说的内容,而简历是不会说话的。因此这就是一个硬伤了。因此F。

  这个题目告诉我们选项方法在选项中纠结徘徊时往往有奇效,因为我们在看选项的时候往往会情不自禁地给他们做个对比,往往这样的对比其实是不需要的。而这样的对比往往能够帮助我们看出某些选项的瑕疵,但是对于看出某些选项的硬伤还是很难看出来。这时就需要我们用该方法去发现硬伤排除答案或者锁定答案。

  在涉及主旨的部分,往往能够看到这个原则的使用。

  例题2

  原文略

  Suppose the writer's goal was to draft an essay that would show the influence of one American author on the work of future authors. Does this essay successfully accomplish this goal?

  F. Yes, because it describes an interesting group of authors and focuses on the literature of a particular country.

  G. Yes, because it gives a brief description of Sherwood Anderson's writing career and discusses his influence on writers whom his work inspired.

  H. No, because it limits the focus to the contrasts between American writing and. European writing.

  J. No, because it refers only to events that took place in the twenties and thirties.

  解析2

  这种题目常常在一篇文章中最后出现,对全文的提炼要求比较高。H、J是不对的,因为原文基本涉及到目标。(这里的tips就是limits only这样的词一定要注意)F、G都是支持完成这个目标的,但是理由有差异。F中的部分原文中也有涉及,说完全错的并不客观。但是focus on这个用的过分了,相对来说没有G描述得更加客观。这就是为什么说选项在选择正确选项时往往起着敲定最后一锤的作用。对自己把握文章意思能力信心不足的同学,有“选择困难症”的同学,要有意识地提高自己使用选项原则选择正确选项的能力。

  习题:

  These photographs are indicative of the delicate balance between feminine appeal and masculine labor that was expected of all women throughout World War II. *Although its success lasted only a decade, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League’s role in expanding opportunities for women during World War II and thereafter is everlasting.

  If the writer were to delete the words silk, fashionable, and red from the preceding sentence, it would primarily lose:

  A. details that have already been presented in the vivid imagery of the previous sentence.

  B. a digression from the focus of this paragraph on the athletic talent of the players.

  C. description of what was written in the captions accompanying the photographs.

  D. details that highlight the femininity of the players in contrast to the masculinity of the game.

  答案:

  A中说前文已经有生动的刻画了,事实上并没有。

  B确实偏离了athletic talent of the players,看上去合理,但是和正确选项比较的话,focus是硬伤,因为文章并没有focus on运动天赋,因此所谓的偏离相对于正确选项来说就逊色了。

  C中caption没有讨论过。

  D是正确的。

  因此D

  篇幅所致,这里并没有给出全部原文。但是真正需要用这个选项方法做题目时,一定要关注原文,至少是该段落中的其他句子,往往有反驳一些选项的依据。另外就是注意选项中一些表达过于极端的词汇。比如最、完全否定、等,往往是一些鱼目混珠的错误选项最终被剔除的依据。
