一、合理分配时间
在做SAT语法的时候,学会合理分配时间是很重要的。这样就会避免在一些题目浪费时间,而在一些难题上时间又不够用,因而阻碍了SAT语法提分。因此这就需要对SAT语法梳理,明确题型,针对性判断情况。比如language题目都相对简单,考题是关于常见的语法问题,如非谓语动词作状语时,只需找出hosting的逻辑主语即可(本题目中能给大量物种作host的,也只有Madagascar了):
Hosting an unusually large number of species in a relatively tiny area, Madagascar’s biodiversity is its exceptional feature.
A) NO CHANGE
B) biodiversity is Madagascar‘s most exceptional feature.
C) the exceptional feature of Madagascar is biodiversity.
D) Madagascar features exceptional biodiversity.
上面这种题目这种题目我们在的课堂上叫做“一秒题”,这个叫法虽有些夸张,但也充分反映出了做这种题所需要的时间不多。如果语法功底扎实的话,这种题目是完完全全的送分题,最重要的是这些题目给我们省出了时间。而我们拿这省出的时间,应该合理地用在需要花时间的题目上。在下面这种题目上省时间,只会降低正确率。如:
Which choice most effectively establishes the main topic of the paragraph?
A) NO CHANGE
B) In order to prevent the further spread of WNS, bat hibernation sites have been closed off to human activity other than scientific research.
C) Work by numerous government and nonprofit agencies and the cooperation of ordinary citizens have been critical in efforts to prevent further decimation of bat populations by WNS.
D) Scientists are searching for genetic commonalities between various bat species to determine what causes WNS susceptibility or resistance.
显然,本题是考察主题句的,而主题句的确定需要考虑和段落内支持句及细节句的关系,这就需要我们不能过于吝啬时间。
二、考点分类
如果要做到迅速判断,SAT语法梳理考点分类是很有必要的。如果是language题目,只需在本句中迅速思考各种语法现象(句子结构、主谓一致、时态语态、简洁原则、标点符号、短语搭配等),一旦确定,题目便异常简单。如:
As a result, the island has been an ideal setting for allopatric speciation, a process in which geographically isolated populations of the same species evolves independently.
A) NO CHANGE
B) evolve
C) is evolving
D) has evolved
上面这个题目中,一旦确定了evolve(s)的主语是定语从句(in which … )中的populations,答案自然明了。
但如果判断出题目是writing类型(包括段落主题、细节支持、逻辑顺序、句子插入/删除、tone、结论句等),则要小心了,这种题一是需要时间,二是需要联系上下文,否则极易做错。如:
To date, only about three dozen of these durable trees are known to exist in the wild.
Which choice is most consistent with the characterization of the trees throughout the paragraph?
A) NO CHANGE
B) plentiful
C) intriguing
D) beneficial
这个题目中,选项都是形容词,用来修饰trees似乎都合适,只看题目本身必然搞不定。只有通过前文中的内容,我们才能判断出正确答案。Botanists and island residents alike assumed the plants were unusually tall specimens of another palm species until they were surprised by one tree‘s sudden flowering. It produced a bizarre-looking shoot that resembled a pine tree with each branch bearing hundreds of bunches of tiny white flowers. To date, only about three dozen of these durable trees are known to exist in the wild. 可以看出,前文中surprised by… sudden flowering, bizarre-looking,都指向intriguing这个正确答案。
再如:Which choice provides the most effective transition from the preceding sentence to the rest of the paragraph? 这样甚至牵扯到两个段落内容的题目如果不参考上下文,犯错误是必然的。
三、做题过程建议
为了提高做题效率及正确率,建议如下:
1. 边读文章边做题,不要为了节省时间只是跳读。
2. 第一段把握住文章主旨,每段段首句把握段落主旨。
3. 给题目分类,每个类别都有特定的做题方法。
4. 每个类别题目的做题方法考前要烂熟于心。
5. 学会使用排除法,注意关键词。
