SAT语法易错题分析

逻辑词中有搭配

Improving Sentence 一般属于重点抢分部分，我们一般要求做过完整复习的考生在考试时能够尽量获得满分。可总有一些意想不到的绊脚石存在。大家且翻到OG 470/10

For all their talk about ecology, major companies have so far spent very little to fight pollution.

A) For all their talk

B) In spite of the fact of their having talked

C) Besides their having talked

D) In addition to their talking

E) Although there is talk between one and the other

根据此题的划线部分或通过比较选项，我们能轻易得知首先须判断句子前后的逻辑。根据前后的暗示词比如talk about, spent little(说过但做得少), 我们得知是前后是相反的，而绝非因果类或递进类的关系。因此考生会认为符合选项的只有B和E, 因为A,C,D 选项分别表示了因果和层进的关系。

“简洁原则”有例外

Although the candidate promised both to cut taxes and improve services, he failed to keep either of them after the election. ( Online Course 1，Section 7, 9)

A. Although the candidate promised both to cut taxes and improve services, he

B. The candidate, having promised both to cut taxes and improve services,

C. Although the candidate made promises both to cut taxes and improve services, he

D. Having promised, first, to cut taxes and, second, to improve services, the candidate

E. The candidate's promises were both to cut taxes and improve services, he

此题读下来逻辑顺畅，的确是让步的关系。笔者欲提醒考生，一般原题中的逻辑词是正确的话，逻辑词需保留，为体现句子之逻辑性。因此B不正确，D太繁琐，E选项是RUN-ON SENTENCE, 答案被锁定在A和C选项。

此时同学很容易根据“简洁原则”(promise to do比make promise to do 简单)而觉得A就是正确答案。其实不然。要知道在“简洁原则”之前还有“准确原则”，先要判断它是否表达地对，才能判断其是否简洁。

“平行”有时不对称

Katarina could not be certain whether the voice she heard on the recording was her uncle or someone else who speaks with a heavy German accent.(2011.5/section 5,11)

A. uncle or someone else

B. uncle or that of someone else

C. uncle’s or someone else

D. uncle’s or that of someone else

E. uncle’s or someone else’s

根据题干我们知道在这里比较的对象是VOICE, 所以可以将选项锁定在D和E中。又有同学会根据“平行对称原则”毅然选择E选项。因此煮熟的鸭子也会飞走，快到手的分数悄悄滑落。

由SAT语法易错题谈语法学习

SAT考试的语法部分历来被视为各项中提分相对容易和较为显著的部分，但在西奈山国际教育团队基于大量历史数据整理出的《中国学生SAT易错真题TOP100》中，共出现了13道语法题，错误率均在80%以上。那么，究竟是哪些问题阻碍了中国学生在语法部分得高分呢?

一、中国学生缺乏对“同义反复”错误的敏感度

易错题TOP100中的这一题：

Q65. When for the first time the United States imported more oil than it exported,

Americans should have realized that an energy crisiswas imminent and could

happen in the future.(RT0510_S06_Q10-W)

(A) was imminent and could happen in the future

(B) could happen imminently in the future

(C) will be imminent and happening soon

(D) is an imminent thing

(E) might be imminent

答案是E. might be imminent。不少中国学生都选择了A，原文无错。这里的关键在于，原文中“was imminent”和“could happen in the future”是同样的意思，这在英语中被视为“同义反复”(redundancy)的错误。中国学生对这一类错误不敏感，应该是由于“母语干扰”造成的。由于中国学生的母语使用习惯而造成英语学习过程中语法知识掌握出现了问题。

在中文里，同义反复往往不被视为错误。比如我们形容一位女子长得非常漂亮，会说她有“沉鱼落雁之容，闭月羞花之貌”，中文通常会通过意义相同但形式不同的句子来寻求对仗工整或者加强语气。由此中国学生对于英语redundancy错误不敏感也就不奇怪了。在SAT语法题中，redundancy出现频率并不高。但它每次出现，就容易击中我们的“软肋”，还是很需要我们小心的。
