2.2 :排除干扰 抓住主干
所谓干扰就是指主干以外的一切成分,如定语从句、同位语从句、分词短语作修饰语大的借此短语作修饰语,等等。这些都是我们阅读是需要跳过去的部分。有时候一个句子中这些成分多达几个,更是阅读时的障碍,应该毫不犹豫地跳过去,先提炼出句子的主干。这种能力是sat填空解题的基础,在sat填空的题目中,以下几项应该重点排除:人名 地名 年代 专有名词 无空格的插入语、定语从句。
例7 Crazy Love, by Elias Miguel Munoz, is an novel: it takes the form of a series of letters.
(A) archetypal (B) epistolary (C) inauspicious (D) inconspicuous (E) illusory
解:排除Crazy Love, by Elias Miguel Munoz,的干扰 直接替换成It,再根据线对点法则选择与a series of letters 对应的epistolary
例8 Rosita Peru, who rose to become the highest ranking female in the television industry, was
recruited: Spanish language program producers courted her persistently.
(A) indiscriminately (B) enigmatically (C) vicariously (D) rancorously (E) assiduously
解:排除干扰 人名 无空格的定语从句 用A B替换 人名 题目则可以改写成
A was recruited: B courted her persistently。一目了然:persistently对应assiduously
2.3:一次处理一个逻辑
对于两空型的sat填空来说,一般需要进行两次逻辑推理才能确定两个空的内容,做题时切勿抱着一次就把两个空格上的内容一次就推理出来,人脑的逻辑推理每次只能进行一次,所以相应地读句子时,每次只读一个逻辑层面。
例9:Acid rain is damaging lakes in way, causing the virtually unnoticed___ of these aquatic ecosystems.
A manifest……eradication B a nefarious…..polarization C an insidious…..destruction D a methodical…. amalgamate E an obvious…..stagnation
解:一次解决一个空 先找到第一个空的对应点unnoticed 选出 insidious 再找第二空的对应点damage 选出destruction(causing伴随 表示同样的状态,所以是同义的逻辑关系)。若一次处理两个逻辑的话,则会陷入混乱。
例10:
The speech was a of random and contradictory information that could not be integrated into , consistent whole.
(A) collage.. ..a rambling (B) development.. .. an ambiguous (C) hodgepodge.. .. a coherent
(D) morass.. .. an amorphous (E) harangue.. .. an unintelligible
解:一次处理一层逻辑,一般情况下是先看第二个空,找出第二个空同义重复对应点consistent,选出coherent ,然后根据线对点,that 后面的一句话对应空格选出hodgepodge。
2.4 :选词优先 理解为辅
例11: Aleksandra Solzhenitsyn’s proved keenest when he accurately predicted that his book would someday appear in his native Russia.
(A)foresight (B)nostalgia (C) folly (D)despair (E)artistry
解:当用点对点的方法选出foresight,解出这道题后,为了节约时间这个题目就应该到此为止。因为that后面的内容已经无关紧要了,可以换成任何一种预言的内容。
例 12:The skepticism of some ancient philosophers and helps to elucidate varieties of nihilism that appeared in the early nineteenth century .
(A) suppresses (B) disseminates (C) undermines (D) confounds (E) foreshadows
解:通过and前面的空格and后面找重复原则,找到对应点help, 同义的逻辑关系推出空格上应该选E foreshadow。这个题目出现了一些人类学的专业词汇,如果纠结与题目的意思,则会走如误区。所以选出答案,这个sat填空题就应该完成了。
2.5总结
Sat填空做题四步走:
1:分析句子结构
2: 根据逻辑关系定位重复的点或线
3:选词
4:理解句意
但是在考场上第四步是可做课不做的,这已经在法则四中做了充分的解释。第三步选词一定要注意是在第二步之后进行,第二步推理出空格的含义之后再去选词,千万不要在尚未根据原句推知空格信息,仍然是一头雾水的情况下去看选项,这样非但选不出词来,很有可能会掉进那些本来就是故意设计的似是而非的各色陷阱中去。
