在准备
例:Like martinet, Norman ______ his subordinates to ______
rigidly to the rules.
(A) disciplined…adapt (B) constrained…adhere (C) coaxed…refer
(D) accustomed…object (E) coerced…demur
此例中,如果考生能对martinet这个词有准确理解的话,答案会很迅速被选出。在《韦氏大学词典》中,martinet的解释为:
(1)a strict disciplinarian;
(2)a person who stressed a rigid adherence to the details of forms and methods.
很显然,(B)选项所表达的意思正好符合martinet在词典中的解释,故为正确答案。
总之,要做好SAT填空题,词汇是基础,阅读是保障,逻辑是关键。最后,衷心祝愿所有备战SAT的勇士们勇创佳绩、金榜题名。
