SAT语法备考策略：SAT语法真题答案及解析(二)各位即将参加SAT考试的考生们，你的语法好吗?若是不好你打算怎么办?为了让这部分考生能够更加轻松的参加考试，我们特意从资料库中寻出十道锻炼语法的SAT语法真题，希望考生可以多多练习这些真题。
第一部分：Part or all of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.【题一】Like machinery was integral to the development of industrial capitalism, so the rapid transfer of information is the force driving modern business.(A) Like(B) Given that(C) Since(D) Just as(E) Although【答案】D【解析】Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing the preposition "Like" with the conjunction "as." In this sentence, two clauses, "machinery was integral to the development of industrial capitalism" and "the rapid transfer of information is the force driving modern business" are being compared, so a conjunction is required to link them. A preposition cannot link clauses. The adverb "Just" here completes the correlative construction "Just as…. so…." and adds emphasis to the similarity between the two statements being compared.（选择(D)是正确的。
它通过将“Like”替换为“as”来避免了改变句子原意。
在这句话中，“machinery was integral to the development of in dustrial capitalism”，“the rapid transfer of information is the force driving modern business”来做比较，因此需要一个连接词来连接它们。
介词不能连接从句， Just 用来形成 just as...so这样的关联结构，并用来加强语气。
）【题二】Rote learning, the process of memorizing by repetition, is how many young children learn the alphabet or the multiplication tables.(A) is how(B) is used for when(C) this is how(D) the way(E) which is used when【答案】A【解析】Choice (A) is correct. It avoids the errors of the other options by using a main verb, "is," to link the subject of the sentence, "Rote learning," to a description of the ways in which this type of learning is used.（选择(A)是正确的。
它避免了其他选项的错误，使用一个主要的动词，“is”，将句子的主语，“Rote learning”和后边的描述连接起来。
）【题三】Upon winning her third gold medal at the competition, the young athlete learned that her accomplishments had surpassed her coach's, a former track star.(A) her coach's(B) her coach(C) those of her coach(D) those done by her coach(E) those of her coach's【答案】C【解析】Choice (C) is correct. This version of the sentence correctly compares the young athlete's accomplishments with her coach's accomplishments, not with her coach. In addition, it uses the plural pronoun "those" to refer to the coach's accomplishments, which allows the noun "coach" to be correctly modified by the noun phrase "a former track star." The possessive noun "coach's" cannot be modified by a noun phrase.（选择(C)是正确的。
这个版本的句子正确地将这位年轻运动员的成就与她的教练的成就相比较，而不是她的教练。
此外，它还使用复数代词“those”来指代coach的成就，这使得名词“coach”可以被名词短语“a former track star”正确地修饰。
“所有格”名词“coach”不能用名词短语来修饰。
）【题四】A renowned French American artist who worked in New York until her death at age 98, Louise Bourgeois's sculptures often resembled giant spiders, earning her the nickname "the Spiderwoman."(A) Louise Bourgeois's sculptures often resembled giant spiders(B) Louise Bourgeois created sculptures that often resembled giant spiders(C) Louise Bourgeois's sculptures had often resembled giant spiders(D) the sculptures of Louise Bourgeois, they often resembled giant spiders(E) Louise Bourgeois created sculptures they often resembled giant spiders【答案】B【解析】Choice (B) is correct. It avoids the modification error of the original by providing the proper noun "Louise Bourgeois" to serve as the subject of the sentence. In the original sentence, the phrase "A renowned French American artist who worked in New York until her death at age 98" illogically modified Bourgeois's sculptures instead of Bourgeois herself.（选项（B）是正确的。
通过提供专有名词“Louise Bourgeois”作为句子的主语，避免了原文的修饰错误。
在原来的句子中，“一位在纽约工作直到98岁去世的着名法国美国艺术家”这句话不合资格地修改Bourgeois的雕塑，而不是Bourgeois本人。
）第二部分：The following sentence contains either a single error or no error at all. If the sentence contains an error, select the one underlined part that must be changed to make the sentence correct.If the sentence contains no error, select choice E.【题一】The results of the study indicate that the new drug is both safer and more effective than was previously assumed.(A) indicate(B) both safer and(C) was(D) assumed(E) No error【答案】E【解析】There is no error in this sentence. The plural present tense verb "indicate" agrees with the plural subject "the results." The phrase "both safer and" appropriately introduces the compound subject complement "both safer and more effective." And the verb phrase "was … assumed" appropriately indicates an action that occurred in the past: i.e. what scientists thought before the new studies.（这个句子没有错误。
