The existence of consistent rules are(A) important if(B) a teacher wants to run (C) a classroom efficiently(D).NO ERROR(E)
很明顯這道題目當中主語是一個A of B結構The existence of consistent rules,這種結構的中心詞應該是前面一個詞A即existence,它是單數,而后面的謂語動詞卻是復數are,所以主謂搭配不一致了,答案應該選A.再請看下面一道題:
Like every other(A) sociological system, the commune has(B) a way of functioning that may be easily upset(C), either slightly or extreme(D). NO ERROR(E)
Many(A) biographers had stated(B) that Samuel Langhorne Clemens changed(C) his name to Mark Twain to echo the riverboat captain’s call ascertaining the safe navigation(D) depth of the Mississippi River. NO ERROR(E)
很明顯這句話的主句應該是用一般過去時而不應該是過去完成時,所以答案應該選B,將had去掉。
2.名詞
NEW SAT中的名詞主要是考察名詞的單復數錯誤。
Although(A) they have(B) radically different career plans, Luna and Gabriei both(C) hope to be a Michigan State graduates(D) one day. NO ERROR(E)
這道題目的D前面用了不定冠詞a,后面又出現了一個復數形式graduates,所以明顯是錯誤的。
3.介詞
介詞主要是考固定搭配。比如看這么一道題目:
Wanda implored(A) Marco not to be jealous over(B) her work; she explained that because(C) she liked both Marco and her job, he would have to share(D). NO ERROR(E)
Because(A) a basketball scout from the university was in(B) the bleachers, Kurt’s coach knew that it(C) was essential for him(D) to play well during the final game against their school’s arch-rival. NO ERROR(E)
One should use(A) parchment paper while(B) baking cookies because(C) the cookies won’t stick to this lining and you(D) won’t have to scrub the pan. NO ERROR(E)
Like Fyodor Dostoyevsky(A), whose books are(B) populated by characters who are uniquely Russian, the works of Mark Twain reflect(C) a singularly(D) national viewpoint. NO ERROR
