1. In 1984,the United States defeated rival countries to win its first Olympic all-around gold medal in gymnastics, even so, they did not win again until 2004.
(A) gymnastics, even so, they
(B) gymnastics, so they
(C) gymnastics, they
(D) gymnastics; as a result, it
(E) gymnastics, but it
【分析】
A和C都是run-on sentence，两个句子之间没有连词。A选项的SO不是连词，相当于是个名词。
B中的SO是连词，是‘‘所以”的意思，虽然不是run-on sentence，但这里的SO是连词误用。从连词前后看，两个句子之间存在转折关系，而SO只能表达因果关系。
D中的分号相当于连词，但as a result是“因此”的意思，没有正确表达两个句子之间的转折关系。
正确答案：E
2. According to Greek myth, Zeus's inability to control his lust, this made his wife, Hara, extremely angry.
(A) Zeus's inability to control his lust, this made his wife
(B) when out of control, his lust made his wife
(C) Zeus's inability at controlling his lust was making his wife
(D) Zeus's inability to control his lust made his wife
(E) the lack of control over his lust that Zeus exhibited made his wife
【分析】
A选项属于双主语错误。inability to control his lust应该作为句子主语，但多了个this(作主语)，导致inability to control his lust没有谓语动词孤立存在。当然，A里的this也使用不当，在SAT里，this和that后面必须要接名词，不能单独存在。(在比较的句子里that可单独使用指代其前面的一个比较对象。)
C不符合inability的用法。注意：ability to do something—capability of doing something。
E的表达哕唆。
在B和D中，B的文法没有问题，但句意存在问题。B的中文意思是：当他的欲望失去控制时，他妻子会很生气。这显然和原句表达的意思有出入。原句的意思是：他无法控制自己t的欲望，这让他妻子很生气。
正确答案：D
