SAT语法在考试结构上分成三个层次:词法,句法及段法。对于考生来讲,词法和段法是很简单的,而真正决定他们能否快速而又高质量地做完所有题目则是有句法题目的速度来决定的。SAT的句法部分根据新东方教师的授课风格不同,体系往往也是不同的,但不同的体系下对应的点是一样的。在此,笔者想对句法中一种结构:平行结构,做以下分析和阐述,希望能对考生有一种启发和有益的引导。
平行结构考点,顾名思义,即考察学生对于并列结构的识别及认识。笔者从句子的结构入手给出了自己的平行分析及归类,我们用SAT例题做以下分析:
平行结构:宾语平行
Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, and to be physically inactive.
(A) include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, and to be physically inactive
(B) include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, and
physical inactivity
(C) include high blood pressure, blood cholesterol, smoking, and being physically inactive
(D) Includes high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, and to be physically inactive
(E) Includes high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, and being physically inactive
题干错误比较明显,谓语include后面分为四个平行的宾语,high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, and to be physically inactive,前三个部分均为名词短语,最后一个部分为动词不定式,因此在成分上与前面三个不平行。因此排除A,C,D,E(同时D,E中出现主谓不一致的情况),B为正确选项。
平行结构:句子平行
Surface mining is safer, quicker, and cheaper than deeper mining, but the
greater is its toll in human misery.
(A) the greater is its toll in human misery
(B) it has a greater human misery toll
(C) in its human misery toll it is greater
(D) there is the greater toll in human
