【SAT语法】句子修改题中注意连贯性要点

二、合并句子

题目要求把两个句子合并为一个句子，做题时注意两句话之间的逻辑关系。而有些题仅通过语法(时态、人称保持一致)就可以得出正确选项，这里不赘述。下面介绍的是一种常考的“顶真句”。

(11)Countries may select their campers but cannot pay for the camp. (12) The campremains unaffiliated with any nation, organization, or peace group.

33.In context, which version of sentences 11 and 12 best combines them into a single sentence?

A. Countries may select their campers but cannot pay for the camp, which remains unaffiliated with any nation, organization, or peace group.

B. Unaffiliated with any nation, organization,or peace group, countries may select their campers but cannot pay for the camp.

C. Countries may select their campers, in addition, they cannot pay for the camp, which remains unaffiliated with anynation, organization, or peace group.

D. Countries cannot pay for the camp although they may select their campers, the camp remains unaffiliated with any nation,organization, or peace group.

E. It remains unaffiliated with any nation, organization, or peace group, and although countries may select their campers, they cannot pay for the camp.

解析：仔细观察句子，我们发现前一句的最后一个词和后一句的第一个词一致，直接把后一句改为定语从句最简单，句子衔接也非常自然。B Unaffiliated 的逻辑主语应该是camp而非 countries ，CD为 run—on句型，缺少连词，E it在本句中无指代，往前一句找也是无指代。

博大精深的中文中也有类似现象，用前一句结尾之字词作为后一句开头之字词，使相邻分句蝉联，叫做顶真(英文 anadiplosis)。比如耳熟能详的：

出门看伙伴，伙伴皆惊忙。

归来见天子，天子坐明堂。

一生二，二生三，三生万物;

地法天，天法道，道法自然。

所以，小伙伴们要记住这个“顶真”的规律啦，改为定语从句最简洁，下面两个例题还不是秒选秒对么！
