SAT语法技巧：抓住句子主干

    准备好语法对于获得一个理想的SAT成绩来说是非常重要的。在SAT语法所列的句子中，除了句子主干之外的一切成分都属于句子的干扰项，如定语从句、同位语从句、分词短语作修饰语大的借此短语作修饰语等等。我们要跳过这些去抓住句子的主干。以下是具体的内容，供同学们参考练习。

　　有时候一个句子中这些成分多达几个，更是阅读时的障碍，应该毫不犹豫地跳过去，先提炼出句子的主干。

　　这种能力是SAT语法备考中大家应该形成的，也是大家解答关于SAT语法题目的基础。在SAT语法备考中，大家需要抓住主干就需要排除下面几点：人名、地名年代、专有名词、无空格的插入语、定语从句。

　　例1、Crazy Love， by Elias Miguel Munoz， is an novel： it takes the form of a series of letters.

　　(A) archetypal (B) epistolary (C) inauspicious (D) inconspicuous (E) illusory

　　解：排除Crazy Love， by Elias Miguel Munoz，的干扰直接替换成It，选择与a series of letters 对应的epistolary

　　例2、Rosita Peru， who rose to become the highest ranking female in the television industry， was

　　recruited： Spanish language program producers courted her persistently.

　　(A) indiscriminately (B) enigmatically (C) vicariously (D) rancorously (E) assiduously

　　解：排除干扰 人名 无空格的定语从句用A B替换 人名 题目则可以改写成

　　A was recruited： B courted her persistently。一目了然：persistently对应assiduously

　　例3、Although hostile demonstrations and marred James Meredith’s 1962 enrollment at the University of Mississippi， the commencement ceremony in which he became the university’s first African American graduate was surprisingly .

　　(A) discord.. tranquil (B) pomp.. daunting (C) banality.. conventional

　　(D) turmoil.. controversial (E) serenity.. opportune

　　解：排除干扰成分 人名 地名 年代以及定语从句，可以把句子改写成：Although hostile demonstrations and marred A’s enrollment， the commencement ceremony was surprisingly .

　　个空与demonstrations 取同义，选discord 第二个空与mar取反义，选tranquil

　　例4、The stage director insisted that before the next performance the set be to eliminate its dinginess.

　　(A) requisitioned (B) enlarged (C) refurbished (D) demolished (E) relocated

　　解：找出句子的主干 句子可以改写为 The set is to eliminate its dinginess.

　　to eliminate its dinginess.很快就可以把C refurbish 选出来

　　例5、Ballads often praise popular figures who have performed feats that many perceive as;such as defending the poor or resisting authority.

　　(A) modest.. acceptable (B) inescapable. .legitimate (C) insufficient.. overpowering (D) admirable.. unjust (E) unbelievable.. tolerable

　　解：找出空格所在的那句话的主干 排除干扰成分句子提炼为：Many perceive them as; such as defending the poor or resisting authority. 个空和defending the poor 对应，马上选出D admirable

　　例6、Conceptually， it’s hard to reconcile a defense attorney’s to ensure that false testimony is not knowingly put forward with the attorney’s mandate to mount the most defense conceivable foe the client.

　　(A) efforts cautious (B) duty powerful (C) inability eloquence (D) failure diversify (E) promise informed
