首先,是关于SAT填空题逻辑关系本身的分类。
一般SAT填空题的逻辑关系有两种:
同义逻辑关系
在同义重复的题型中,根据其标志词的不同,可以再分为六大类:因果关系,解释关系,目的、手段及结果,指代关系,并列和递进关系,及一些特殊表意动词。
以因果关系题型为例,其典型标志词包括because, result from, since, for, for the reason that, due to,therefore, thus等。在做这一类题型时,可以根据“因为爱,所以爱”这样的原则较快的完成“前因后果”或者“前果后因”的句子。
反义逻辑关系
在反义重复的题型中,根据标志词可分为转折关系、对比关系、时间先后顺序关系。
以对比关系题型为例,其标志词有far from, rather…than, paradoxically, irony, surprisingly, change, turn into…等。
很多难题中句子中并不仅仅含有一个逻辑关系,那么我们就需要将主要的逻辑关系和分逻辑关系全部判断出来,这点其实不难做到。在判断逻辑关系的时候我们可以只需要看句子的主干部分即可,也就是说任何介词、状语、从句等修饰成分,我们都可以不看。
其次,SAT填空题逻辑关系和所在句子之间的关系
