新SAT文法的目的：
考察學(xué)生編輯和修改不同類型的文章的能力。既要讓所修改的文章避免各種語法錯誤、標(biāo)點(diǎn)錯誤、和用法錯誤，也要使其能夠按照寫作目的和讀者受眾的不同，更加準(zhǔn)確的表辭達(dá)意。
為了綜合檢驗(yàn)學(xué)生的編輯修改能力，考試時所采用的文章的體裁、主題與復(fù)雜程度都有所不同。某些文章還配有統(tǒng)計圖表，需要學(xué)生具有一定的圖表解說能力。具體情況如下：
文章的體裁：記敘文、說明文、議論文。
文章的主題：包羅萬有，例如：事業(yè)、人文社科、歷史、科技，等等。
文章的復(fù)雜程度：有直截了當(dāng)?shù)�，也有含蓄表達(dá)的，更有充斥長難句的。
文章的說明性圖表：與原文內(nèi)容互相補(bǔ)充，學(xué)生需要解讀圖表來糾正文章錯誤。
新SAT文法的主要考察形式：
試題的格式如下圖所示：左邊是需要編輯修改的文章，右邊是相應(yīng)的題目。因?yàn)樽笥倚枰昝缹?yīng)，所以一篇文章會出現(xiàn)在多頁紙上。考生需要看清楚文章標(biāo)題上面所列出的與該文章相關(guān)的題目個數(shù)。(例如：本文的標(biāo)題是A Life in Traffic, 與之相關(guān)的題目是第1題到第11題)。劃線部分是出題處。
題目的類型都是單選題，A、B、C、D四項(xiàng)之中選擇一個答案。表面上看，題目的內(nèi)容五花八門，但是實(shí)質(zhì)上只考察學(xué)生的兩種能力：語法能力(Standard English Conventions)和表達(dá)能力(Expression of Ideas)。從形式上看，題目分為兩類。一類題目是下圖中第二題這種題目：A選項(xiàng)是NO CHANGE, 其他三個選項(xiàng)是修改劃線處的三種不同建議。另一類題目是下圖種第一題這種題目：首先給出了一個要求，然后讓學(xué)生按照要求為文中劃線處選擇一個答案。

樣題詳解見下頁。
共有兩套樣題：SAMPLE 1和SAMPLE 2。
樣題1 (SAMPLE 1)—Careers Passage with Graphic
Questions 1 through 11 are based on the following passage and supplementary material。
A Life in Traffic
A subway system is expanded to provide service to a growing suburb. A bike sharing program is adopted to encourage nonmotorized transportation. _1_ To alleviate rush hour traffic jams in a congested downtown area, stoplight timing is coordinated. When any one of these changes _2_ occur, it is likely the result of careful analysis conducted by transportation planners。
The work of transportation planners generally includes evaluating current transportation needs, assessing the effectiveness of existing facilities, and improving those facilities or _3_ they design new ones. Most transportation planners work in or near cities, _4_ but some are employed in rural areas. Say, for example, a large factory is built on the outskirts of a small town. Traffic to and from that location would increase at the beginning and end of work shifts. The transportation _5_ planner’s job, might involve conducting a traffic count to determine the daily number of vehicles traveling on the road to the new factory. If analysis of the traffic count indicates that there is more traffic than the _6_ current road as it is designed at this time can efficiently accommodate, the transportation planner might recommend widening the road to add another lane. _1_
Which choice best maintains the sentence pattern already established in the paragraph?
A) NO CHANGE
B) Coordinating stoplight timing can help alleviate rush hour traffic jams in a congested downtown area。
C) Stoplight timing is coordinated to alleviate rush hour traffic jams in a congested downtown area。
D) In a congested downtown area, stoplight timing is coordinated to alleviate rush hour traffic jams。
_2_
A) NO CHANGE
B) occur, they are
C) occurs, they are
D) occurs, it is
_3_
A) NO CHANGE
B) to design
C) designing
D) design
_4_
Which choice results in the most effective transition to the information that follows in the paragraph?
A) NO CHANGE
B) where job opportunities are more plentiful。
C) and the majority are employed by government agencies。
D) DELETE the underlined portion and end the sentence with a period。
_5_
A) NO CHANGE
B) planner’s job
C) planners job,
D) planners job
_6_
A) NO CHANGE
B) current design of the road right now
C) road as it is now currently designed
D) current design of the road
Transportation planners work closely with a number of community stakeholders, such as government officials and other interested organizations and individuals. _7_ Next, representatives from the local public health department might provide input in designing a network of trails and sidewalks to encourage people to walk more. _8_ According to the American Heart Association, walking provides numerous benefits related to health and well-being. Members of the Chamber of Commerce might share suggestions about designing transportation and parking facilities to support local businesses。
_9_ People who pursue careers in transportation planning have a wide variety of educational backgrounds. A two year degree in transportation technology may be sufficient for some entry level jobs in the field. Most jobs, however, require at least a bachelor’s degree; majors of transportation planners are _10_ varied, including fields such as urban studies, civil engineering, geography, or transportation and logistics management. For many positions in the field, a master’s degree is required。
Transportation planners perform critical work within the broader field of urban and regional planning. As of 2010, there were approximately 40,300 urban and regional planners employed in the United States. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts steady job growth in this field, _11_ projecting that 16 percent of new jobs in all occupations will be related to urban and regional planning. Population growth and concerns about environmental sustainability are expected to spur the need for transportation planning professionals。
_7_
A) NO CHANGE
B) For instance,
C) Furthermore,
D) Similarly,
_8_
The writer is considering deleting the underlined sentence. Should the sentence be kept or deleted?
A) Kept, because it provides supporting evidence about the benefits of walking。
B) Kept, because it provides an additional example of a community stakeholder with whom transportation planners work。
C) Deleted, because it blurs the paragraph’s focus on the community stakeholders with whom transportation planners work。
D) Deleted, because it doesn’t provide specific examples of what the numerous benefits of walking are。
_9_
A) NO CHANGE
B) People, who pursue careers in transportation planning,
C) People who pursue careers, in transportation planning,
D) People who pursue careers in transportation planning,
_10_
A) NO CHANGE
B) varied, and including
C) varied and which include
D) varied, which include
_11_
Which choice completes the sentence with accurate data based on the graph?
A) NO CHANGE
B) warning, however, that job growth in urban and regional planning will slow to 14 percent by 2020.
C) predicting that employment of urban and regional planners will increase 16 percent between 2010 and 2020.
D) indicating that 14 to 18 percent of urban and regional planning positions will remain unfilled。
圖表
第1題：問哪一個選項(xiàng)的保留了原文已經(jīng)有的句式格式。
做題方法：好吧，那就先看看第1題前面都已經(jīng)有了什么句式格式。一看發(fā)現(xiàn)，哦，兩個被動形式的主謂賓句子。先說地鐵系統(tǒng)被延展，以便于能夠怎怎樣；然后說自行車道項(xiàng)目被采納，以便于能夠怎怎樣。那么好吧，我們愉快的選中C， stoplight timing 被coordinated, 以便于能夠怎怎樣。Bingo！選對了！我之所以翻譯得很模糊是因?yàn)椋河H，這句話咱真心不需要全懂就可以做對哦！(有70%的題目不需要全懂就能做對，別說我沒有告訴你啊！我告訴你，你別說你沒有驚喜�。∧泱@喜之后會發(fā)現(xiàn)，另外的30%保證讓你上��！)
第2題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
When any one of these changes occur, it is likely the result of careful analysis conducted by transportation planners。
語法點(diǎn)：主謂搭配+代詞
這道題太簡單了，考試的時候題目一定不能這么慷慨善良。occur的主語是any one of something, 明顯主語是單數(shù)，時態(tài)又是一般現(xiàn)在時，所以謂語動詞occur分分鐘應(yīng)該變形成為occurs��！C與D的區(qū)別在代詞上，既然都知道any one of something是單數(shù)了，那么它的代詞一定是it而不能是they�。∵@么簡單的題目，答案是D別說我沒有告訴你，簡直要把我蠢哭了呀！
第3題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
The work of transportation planners generally includes evaluating current transportation needs, assessing the effectiveness of existing facilities, and improving those facilities or they design new ones。
語法點(diǎn)：and, or并列
and和or就傻呵呵的站在那里，赤**的提示你這里是并列，后面的成分和模樣都應(yīng)該和前面相同。此情此景，你再看不出答案是C，我就真是沒有辦法了。
實(shí)在不知道？給你兩道原來的語法老題嘗嘗。
Every August, Cody and Ally vacation in Hiawatha National Forest, where they enjoy hiking, fishing and to camp with their friends. (本題只給了正確答案)
(B) where they enjoy hiking, fishing and camping
Used in sculpture, carving is the process of reducing substances such as stone, wood, or ivory to a desired shape by cutting or to chip away unnecessary parts. No error
[Correction: to chip chipping]
現(xiàn)在總算看出來了吧？還是人家老題難(這哪可能呢？)，說明新SAT真題一定比OG難！
第4題：問哪一種寫法導(dǎo)致上下文之間的過渡
做題方法：既然是過渡，就要同時兼顧上下文的意思。上文說在城市里面工作，下文的for example又說了城市的邊緣“outskirts of a small town”。所以，劃線部分必須體現(xiàn)城市邊緣、郊區(qū)、農(nóng)村等意思。那么就只有A的“rural areas”還可以，立刻選它！
第5題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
語法點(diǎn)：標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號+所有者形式
標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號是純考眼神兒�。選項(xiàng)有多么的扯，主謂之間加逗號，他以為咱是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，說話的中間喝那一口水��！主謂之間如果沒有分隔成分，是絕對不能加逗號滴！所以C選項(xiàng)掛掉啦！其他選項(xiàng)中，能夠表示“策劃者的工作”這種所有者形式的只有B，那就選它了。這樣的難度，真是侮辱我們的智商��！請大家息怒，接著往下做。
第6題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
…there is more traffic than the current road as it is designed at this time can efficiently accommodate,
語法點(diǎn)：比較+簡潔
這道題貌似是比較題目，因?yàn)橛小癿ore…than”結(jié)構(gòu)，但是一看選項(xiàng)，根本不是考比較�？嫉氖呛啙嵄磉_(dá)。要表達(dá)，就要知道意思。意思是說：實(shí)際的交通量比現(xiàn)在的道路能夠承載的交通量要大。那么，最簡潔的表達(dá)只能是D，因?yàn)槠渌亩继珕隆選項(xiàng)中”current”與“at this time，”B選項(xiàng)中“current” 與“right now”， C選項(xiàng)中 “now”與“currently”都是啰嗦重復(fù)的詞語，因此D順利入選。從比較的層面說，D也不是十分優(yōu)美，怎么都有一種“如花”身邊選“秋香”的感覺，真是“矬子里拔大個兒”吧。(看不懂最后這則歇后語的同學(xué)，可以認(rèn)真請教東北的同學(xué)^_^)。
第7題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
嘿嘿！真打臉！人家沒有考語法，人家考文法啦！看上下行文中間的過渡詞咱到底會不會。
前面那句話說要與社區(qū)重要決策人(community stakeholders)通力合作，下面那句話就說到了當(dāng)?shù)孛癖娊】挡块T的代表(representatives from the local public health department)。顯然，這代表就是一種決策人啊，因此后面這句話是例證啊，因此必須選擇B��！文法的選擇，一定要看得懂意思啊！這是難度的增加。咱要假設(shè)這文章是咱寫的，才能一下子找到正確答案。(要站在作者的高度上。)
第8題：問一句話是刪是留
這句話必須刪啊！全段說各種人是怎樣通力合作的，這句話說散步有益健康，簡直驢唇不對他嘴啊！果斷刪掉，果斷選擇C(哈哈！我突然看到D選項(xiàng)，太搞笑了，大家快看！哈哈哈)
第9題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
People who pursue careers in transportation planning have a wide variety of educational backgrounds。
語法點(diǎn)：句式結(jié)構(gòu)
一句話要先保證有主句，然后再考慮從句。B，C，D的從句連接詞who瞬間把主句“貪污”成了從句，主句沒有了，那怎么行？所以，從主句出發(fā)，果斷選擇A。
第10題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
majors of transportation planners are varied, including fields such as urban studies, civil engineering, geography, or transportation and logistics management。
語法點(diǎn)：ing短語+and并列+從句連接詞
這句話后面的“urban studies, civil engineering, geography, or transportation and logistics management”作為例證用來支持前面所說的專業(yè)五花八門“varied”這個結(jié)論，因此and用來并列并不恰當(dāng)， B， C砍掉。D的which需要指代一個名詞先行詞，顯然”varied”詞性都不達(dá)標(biāo)，所以，選擇A，是現(xiàn)在分詞短語在句尾進(jìn)行的補(bǔ)充說明。
第11題：如圖，哪個選項(xiàng)的數(shù)據(jù)正確
這道題目是分析圖表，分分鐘數(shù)學(xué)統(tǒng)計題目，簡單到可以笑到天亮啊！
在統(tǒng)計柱形圖的題目中說了“percent increase”，而B選項(xiàng)居然敢說“slow”，這么逆天的選項(xiàng)分分鐘揭示了美國的平均數(shù)學(xué)水平。有關(guān)于”urban and regional”的應(yīng)該是16%的柱形，而D居然把三個柱子的14%到18%都拿來說一遍，簡直是全面到立刻錯誤��！A選項(xiàng)的“all occupations”明明是14%，與他所說的16%不符。所以，答案就是C。 新題型，難度低，低到我會害怕忍不住多看幾眼，生怕自己不夠頭腦簡單��！這，也是一種憂患啊！做完了1到11題，該做下一套題了！
樣題2 (SAMPLE 2)—Humanities Passage
Questions 12 through 22 are based on the following passage。
Dong Kingman: Painter of Cities
A 1954 documentary about renowned watercolor painter Dong Kingman shows the artist sitting on a stool on Mott Street in New York City’s Chinatown. A crowd of admiring spectators _12_ watched as Kingman squeezes dollops of paint from several tubes into a tin watercolor _13_ box, from just a few primary colors, Kingman creates dozens of beautiful hues as he layers the translucent paint onto the paper on his easel. Each stroke of the brush and dab of the sponge transforms thinly sketched outlines into buildings, shop signs, and streetlamps. The street scene Kingman begins composing in this short film is very much in keeping with the urban landscapes for which he is best known。
[1] Kingman was keenly interested in landscape painting from an early age. [2] In Hong Kong, where Kingman completed his schooling, teachers at that time customarily assigned students a formal “school name�！� [3] His interest was so keen, in fact, that he was named after it. [4] The young boy who had been Dong Moy Shu became Dong Kingman. [5] The name Kingman was selected for its two _14_ parts, “king” and “man”； Cantonese for “scenery” and “composition�！� [6] As Kingman developed as a painter, his works were often compared to _15_ paintings by Chinese landscape artists dating back to C E 960, a time when a strong tradition of landscape painting emerged in Chinese art. [7] Kingman, however, _16_ vacated from that tradition in a number of ways, most notably in that he chose to focus not on natural landscapes, such as mountains and rivers, but on cities. _17_ _12_

C) after sentence 1.
D) after sentence 4.
_18_ His fine brushwork conveys detailed street-level activity: a peanut vendor pushing his cart on the sidewalk, a pigeon pecking for crumbs around a fire _19_ hydrant, an old man tending to a baby outside a doorway. His broader brush strokes and sponge-painted shapes create majestic city skylines, with skyscrapers towering in the background, bridges connecting neighborhoods on either side of a river, and _20_ delicately painted creatures, such as a tiny, barely visible cat prowling in the bushes of a park. To art critics and fans alike, these city scenes represent the innovative spirit of twentieth-century urban Modernism。
_18_
Which choice most effectively establishes the main topic of the paragraph?

B) exquisitely lettered street and storefront signs。
C) other details that help define Kingman’s urban landscapes。
D) enormous ships docking at busy urban ports。
During his career, Kingman exhibited his work _21_ internationally. He garnered much acclaim. In 1936, a critic described one of Kingman’s solo exhibits as “twenty of the freshest, most satisfying watercolors that have been seen hereabouts in many a day。” _22_ _21_
Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?
A) internationally, and Kingman also garnered
B) internationally; from exhibiting, he garnered
C) internationally but garnered
D) internationally, garnering
_22_
The writer wants to conclude the passage with a sentence that emphasizes an enduring legacy of Kingman’s work. Which choice would best accomplish this goal?
A) Although Kingman’s work might not be as famous as that of some other watercolor painters, such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Edward Hopper, it is well regarded by many people。
B) Since Kingman’s death in 2000, museums across the United States and in China have continued to ensure that his now iconic landscapes remain available for the public to enjoy。
C) The urban landscapes depicted in Kingman’s body of work are a testament to aptness of the name chosen for Kingman when he was just a boy。
D) Kingman’s work was but one example of a long-lasting tradition refreshed by an innovative artist with a new perspective。
第12題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
A crowd of admiring spectators watched as Kingman squeezes dollops of paint from several tubes into a tin watercolor box,
語法點(diǎn)：時態(tài)
時態(tài)不會單獨(dú)考，原文一定有參照物。as后面的squeezes說明了時態(tài)應(yīng)該是一般現(xiàn)在時，所以答案選擇D。
第13題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
A crowd of admiring spectators watches as Kingman squeezes dollops of paint from several tubes into a tin watercolor box, from just a few primary colors, Kingman creates dozens of beautiful hues as he layers the translucent paint onto the paper on his easel。
語法點(diǎn)：標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號
親，這應(yīng)該是兩句話吧。咱給他一個句號行不？答案果斷是B。這種標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號題目的難點(diǎn)是，你考試的時候也許不敢選，因?yàn)閷?shí)在太簡單了，果斷選吧。我們對于標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號的用法掌握的還是蠻扎實(shí)的。
第14題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
The name Kingman was selected for its two parts, “king” and “man”； Cantonese for “scenery” and “composition�！�
語法點(diǎn)：標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號
“parts“后面的”king” and “man”對前面起到解釋說明作用，因此parts后面應(yīng)該有一個冒號“： ”， 而句尾的Cantonese for “scenery” and “composition。”不是完整的一句話，因此它前面不能是分號“； ”。綜合考慮這兩個因素，選擇B。
第15題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
As Kingman developed as a painter, his works were often compared to paintings by Chinese landscape artists dating back to C E 960, .。。
語法點(diǎn)：比較的一致性
一個人的作品(畫)應(yīng)該和別人的畫比，而不能和別人比：要保證比較對象的一致性。因此，答案非常明顯就是A。
在比較的一致性中，要牢記一個口訣“你的小狗比我胖？這是不行滴！因?yàn)槟愕男」分荒芎臀业男」繁容^，不能和我比�！�
第16題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
不是的！這道題目考詞匯，看用詞是否正確。
原文的意思是：Kingman并沒有保持原來的傳統(tǒng)畫風(fēng)，他關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)不是自然風(fēng)景、山川河流，而是城市。因此，需要一個詞語表達(dá)“沒有保持原來畫風(fēng)”，因此選中C，“脫離了原來的畫風(fēng)”，其他的詞匯都不合適。
第17題：問第3句話放在哪里可以是文章邏輯性更強(qiáng)
第二段中，各句話的意思分別是 (我沒有逐字翻譯，就寫個大概意思)：[1] Kingman 很小的時候就喜歡風(fēng)景畫了[2] 在香港，就是Kingman上學(xué)的地方，老師當(dāng)時習(xí)慣給學(xué)生一個“學(xué)名”[3] 他的興趣如此強(qiáng)烈以至于他因此而命名……
如果看中文翻譯，覺得放在這里也不錯嘛！
但是！要注意英文原文。[1] Kingman was keenly interested in …. [2] I… [3] His interest was so keen, …。這個英文明顯的表示出，第三句的interest就是第一句的interest，只不過，他們被一個完全不相干的第二句隔開了。因此，應(yīng)該把第三句放在第一句后面。答案應(yīng)該是C。
第18題：要選擇段落中心句
這種題目，純考閱讀水平啊！
上一段結(jié)尾說他與眾不同，關(guān)注城市。這里也說了他畫市井生活的方方面面�？梢�，這段就是說他是如何關(guān)注城市的。A選項(xiàng)說他是先鋒人物，這個和關(guān)注城市沒有關(guān)系，不要。B選項(xiàng)說although城市是他的主題。這個肯定不能要！因?yàn)閍lthough后面的內(nèi)容都不是重點(diǎn)，而我們這一段的重點(diǎn)就是城市。因此B分不清主次，不要。C 說在他的城市風(fēng)景畫中怎怎樣，終于說了城市了，先留著吧。D說他搬家然后去上學(xué)，這和城市真心沒有關(guān)系。因此，果斷選中C，而且，哈哈哈，不用全看懂，不用全翻譯��！(我是不是太懶？)
第19題：問都沒問，肯定考語法
a peanut vendor pushing his cart on the sidewalk, a pigeon pecking for crumbs around a fire hydrant, an old man tending to a baby outside a doorway
語法點(diǎn)：并列+標(biāo)點(diǎn)
上面摘錄的英文是三個并列的結(jié)構(gòu)，在后面有一個and(但是沒有也沒有辦法)，B、C、D的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(有的沒有標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號)都不正確，因此選擇A，保持原樣。
第20題：說作者想用Kingman畫城市天際線的第三個細(xì)節(jié)例子完成句子，問哪一個選項(xiàng)行
這種問法著實(shí)討厭。仔細(xì)一看，這道題還是語法��！第三個例子和前兩個例子果斷應(yīng)該齊刷刷并列��！
with skyscrapers towering in the background, bridges connecting neighborhoods on either side of a river, and delicately painted creatures, such as a tiny, barely visible cat prowling in the bushes of a park。
這里并列的三者應(yīng)該是with somebody doing something結(jié)構(gòu)，立刻開心的選中D。
第21題：考句子合并
During his career, Kingman exhibited his work internationally. He garnered much acclaim。
A選項(xiàng)的and also是經(jīng)典錯誤干擾項(xiàng)，考過800回，沒有一回是正確答案的。C選項(xiàng)的but轉(zhuǎn)折語氣不對。應(yīng)該是作品國際巡演從而得到好評，這個事情順理成章，不需要用“但是”來轉(zhuǎn)折。B選項(xiàng)的exhibited 和exhibiting啰嗦，因此答案就是D，現(xiàn)在分詞短語的簡潔描述。需要說明的是，并不是一開始就知道一定是ing短語勝出，這道題目和這種題目，多是需要用排除法來得到答案的。
第22題：問作者想用結(jié)尾句強(qiáng)調(diào)Kingman作品的持久價值，哪一個句子更合適這種題目考行文，首先要分清重要性和褒貶。既然要強(qiáng)調(diào)好的方面，說不好的就不合適了。例如A選項(xiàng)說“雖然Kingman的作品沒有別人的”，這個話太煞風(fēng)景。我們要說他的好，A偏說他不出名，那我果斷不能選A。同樣，D選項(xiàng)也不行。D說他的作品“只是眾多這樣作品的一個例子”，這就淡化了重要性，與我們的表達(dá)重點(diǎn)不符，D不要。B說Kingman 死后怎怎樣，突然覺得和legacy遺產(chǎn)這個詞還蠻搭配的，而且B說中美博物館還有他的畫。所以，B看起來很像答案。C說他的學(xué)名起的對。這簡直讓人丈二和尚摸不著頭腦。因此，選擇B。
總結(jié)
在這套文法解析中，我用學(xué)生的思路語言來解釋了各題的解法。希望大家能夠按照這個思路來解題，做題過程中可以節(jié)省很多時間，流暢性和正確率都得以加強(qiáng)。
總的看來，Official Guide的題目難度比原來舊SAT的語法題目難度要低很多。我十分有理由相信，在之后的正式考試中，文法題目的難度要明顯高于Official Guide里面的樣題的題目難度。
建議學(xué)生把原來舊SAT語法題目中的難題挑選出來，精講精練，同時提高閱讀水平，閱讀流暢性，閱讀速度和記憶力。這樣才能確保在即將到來的新SAT考試中獲得文法部分的高分甚至滿分！
