hi,四月接近中旬,准备五月考试的SAT同学备考已经进入白热化,为了迎合各考生需要,近期会发送一些SAT语法真题解析,以助大家一臂之力。今天斌哥为大家带来13年5月的部分解析,其他尽快奉上。在此之前,先回答平台里某位同学的问题:
“put into place something” 如何理解?这个短语咋一看很乱,其实是一个间隔式结构,只要把短语顺序稍作调整成“put something intoplace”,就很好理解为“把---放在该放的位置”。如:Yourroom is a sheer mess, so please put all your stuff intoplace.(你的房间真是一团糟,请把你的东西都放好。)
同时公布上次几个soft短语翻译答案如下:
softwoods软木;soft lights柔光; softhat呢帽; softdrink不含酒精的饮料; softwords和蔼的话; soft answer委婉的回答; softcushion靠垫

(A) character, he stole
(B) character who stole,.
(C) character, who having stolen
(D) character,whose stealing
(E).character to have stolen
B
A.两句中没有连词,即run-on,错误;
B.who引导的定语从句修饰character逻辑和时态都对,正确;
C.从句中缺乏谓语动词;
D.同上。
E.与前面部分衔接就是“thesubtitle refers to—character to have stolen, 导致to have done的逻辑主语是subtitle,且逻辑混乱。
注:此题核心考点为缺乏谓语动词,AC为干扰项,低难度。
2. When the weather was nice,Lisa was more likely to walk than taking the bus because the route to herschooltook her through a beautiful park.
(A)was more likely to walk than taking
(B)was more likely to walk than to take
(C) being more likely to walk instead of taking
(D)is more likely walking than taking
(E)ismore likely to walk as take
B
A.than前后分别为todo和doing,不平行;
B.than前后都是to do,平行,且符合be likely to do固定搭配;
C.being非动词,故主句缺乏谓语动词;
D.时态错误,违反整句过去的基调,且belikely doing不存在;
E.时态错误,且违反more–than固搭,不存在more—as.
注:此题综合考察平行结构、时态和固定搭配,d选项doing-doing的平行为干扰项,但仍属低难度。
3. Considered among the best in their fields, Dr. Johnson and Dr.Vasquez work as the personal physician to the president.
(A) work as the personal physician
(B) works as personal physician
(C) work as personal physicians

注:此题核心考察单复数对应和主谓一致,无明显干扰项,为低难度。

(A) it resembles
(B) it resembled
(C) resembles
(D) resembling
(E) which resembled
C
A.Sanskrit是主语,thelanguage of—部分对主语进行补充,可以先放在一边,如此选项中的it就是多余,它与之前的主语构成双主语错误;
B.同A,且时态错误,表达一种语言的特殊属于客观事实,用一般现在时即可;
C.避免AB错误,为正确选项;
D.缺乏谓语动词;
E.which从句一直跟到句尾,导致主句缺乏谓语。
注:此题核心考察为双主语和缺乏谓语动词,相对于DE,AB更容易被误选,分析句子成分很重要,为低难度。

(A) which is usually responsible for supervising
(B)which is usually responsible to supervise
(C) whose usual responsibility is they supervise
(D) who is usually responsible to supervise
(E) who is usually responsible for supervising
E
A.定语从句修饰人用who而非which;
B.同上,且be responsible for才是正确搭配;
C.sous-chef为单数,故从句中的they单复数错误,且句式啰嗦;
D.同B, 固定搭配错误;
E.从句修饰和固定搭配都没错,为正确选项。
注:此题核心考察为定语从句的关系代词和固定搭配,两个都很重要,其他选项为中难度。

C.时态和逻辑都没问题,正确;
D.and多余,且时态错误;inthat相当于because,但若两者同时出现,后者优先;
E.时态错误,且because of后不接doing, 斌哥让你死记住就好,这是绝杀项。
注:此题核心考察为定语从句的关系代词和固定搭配,两个都很重要,为中难度。

(A) and even report
(B) but who also report
(C) as well as even reporting
(D) but even reporting
(E)which they even report
A
A.enjoy和report平行结构,表示workers在workinghours所表现出的两个动作,正确;
B.but为连词,如果后面接who则前面也用接从句,错误;
C.改变句意,并非表达人们喜欢reporting,故reporting不能与working平行,应与enjoy平行;
D.没有转折之感,but使用错误,且reporting不与working平行;
E.which从句放在这纯属瞎扯。
注:此题核心考察为句意理解和平行结构,C为干扰项,属于中等难度。
9.When the two long-standing rivalsfinally met, tension was creatednotonly by whatthey said but also what they did not say.
(A) but also what they did not say
(B) but also what was not said

E
A.定语从句放在句末,是无法修饰主语的,只能修饰就近的短语或中心语,此题exist从句在逻辑上又必须修饰主语,故语法和逻辑分离,错误;
B.同上,且where只能修饰地点,无被修饰对象;
C.run-on句型;
D.简化后目标选项结构为SVO,VO,两个谓语之间缺连词;
E.简化后目标选项结构为SVO,doing.Doing动作必须主语发出,此题刚好是music发出,后面的短语对前面句子表示补充说明的感觉,对!除了这种逻辑,还有因果关系也可以使用这个结构。如Iwas late, making my teacher angry.
注:此题综合考察为逻辑主语和定语从句的修饰,AB都为干扰项,属于高难度。
11. Some scientists believe that the number of stars in the universe have been seriously underestimated and may be as much as three times greater than previously thought.
(A) have been
(B) having been
(C) has been
(D) were
(E)to be .
C
A.have been对应的主语为thenumber of——,一定接单数,应改成has been;
B.that从句中缺乏谓语,错误;
C.时态和主谓一致都对,正确选项;
D.主谓一致错误;
E.同B.
注:此题综合考察为thenumber of的用法,the number of+可数名词复数+单数谓语,表示。。的数量,重心在number这个词上;anumber of+可数名词复数+复数谓语,表示许多。。。,重心在of后面的名词上。为低难度。
