  解读官方指南(OG)可知,ETS出题机构对于句子填空有如下基本要求:

  (1) havinga broad vocabulary always comes in handy;

  (2) havingthe ability to understanding the logic of complex sentences is also helpful;

  (3) having several approachesor strategies can help you tackle this.

  所以总的来说,逻辑和词汇是完美解决句子填空的主线.建议考生在备考的过程中紧紧围绕这两点去备考.这一讲中,我们主要分析一下如何解决逻辑问题.

  逻辑详解

  SAT句子填空中不会涉及天花乱坠的复杂逻辑,因此只要考生头脑清醒,通过仔细分析都可以解决.广义上讲,SAT句子逻辑分为两大类:同义重复和反义重复.

  1. 同义重复

  同义重复题目非常好识别,在此考生重点留心的应该是常见逻辑信号词.这些词好比一些路标,能够清晰地指明答案方向.常见逻辑信号词可以分为以下几类:

  ☆因果关系: because,so, for, thus, resultfrom, since, for the reason that, due to, therefore,…

  ☆解释关系: “:”,“;”,“---”, such as,…

  ☆目的、手段: in orderto, for, to do,…

  ☆指代关系: such,this, that, which, these, those,…

  ☆并列和递进关系: and, or,not only...but also, even

  ☆特殊动词: continue,remain, require, represent,…

  下面来看2014年-2015年上半年SAT考试中的几个例子:

  1Because the pandas had alreadybeen weakened by disease and drought, a harsh winter wouldhave had ___ consequences for them.

  A preventive

  B regressive

  C catastrophic

  D unforeseen

  E moderate

  分析:此题为因果关系.因为熊猫已经因为疾病和干旱而变得虚弱,所以严酷的寒冬将会对他们产生一个_____的后果.在这个问题中,疾病和干旱和寒冬都是让熊猫变的虚弱的原因,那么重复同义的原因即可,所以选C。

  2 In order to ------- the loss of natural wetlandsused by migrating snow geese, conservationists in the 1960’s and 1970’s------- wetland refuges in the northern prairies.

  A standardize ….ignored

  B offset ….surrendered

  C explain ….dismantled

  D compenSATe for ….established

  E account for ….administered

  分析:此题为目的、手段关系。为了保护、弥补野生动物的栖息地,才建立了refuge.

  故选D。

  3 The professor’s presentation was both ------- and -------: though brief, it was instructive.

  A. verbose.…mundane

  B.concise.…elaborate

  C. comprehensive .…edifying

  D. succinct…enlightening

  E. provocative…technical

  分析:此题非常明确地利用了同义重复这一概念。空一对应了brief,空二对应了instructive。因此此题选D。

  2. 反义重复

  两个空之间常见逻辑信号词可以分为以下几类:

  ☆ 转折关系:although,though, but, despite…

  ☆对比关系:rather than, instead of ...,paradox,irony, surprise, shock…,turn into, change …,recent,previous, later, earlier…,etc.

  下面来看2014年-2015年上半年SAT考试中的几个例子:

  1 Soon after the first visitors arrived,increasing numbers of the residents of the remote island thought it possiblethat the outside world, instead of being _____, could be ____and worthexploring.

  A. insular….unlimited

  B. friendly…wicked

  C. amiable…cooperative

  D. threatening…fascinating

  E. forbidding…harmful

  分析:此题出现了instead of ,根据前后两空我们可以直接判断为反义,但后面又有一个and worth exploring,可以推测could be 之后是和worth exploring同义重复。也可以通过排除法来做,只有A,D构成反义,而fascinating可以和worth exploring构成一个正面同义重复,因此选D。

  2 Cito Gaston, one of the least------- baseball managers, surprised reporters by weeping openly after his team won theplay-offs.

  A. somber

  B. demonstrative

  C. insufferable

  D. bountiful

  E. wistful

  分析:surprise即出乎意料,说明C.G.这个人的行为是不常见的,他居然公开哭泣,取反即表达出感情外露,和least一起构成与weeping openly的反义重复,因此选B。

  3 The medicine dose hassalutary effect by ------- pain, even if recent studies prove that it cannoteliminate such discomfort entirely.

  A. alleviating

  B. distracting

  C. revitalizing

  D. eradicating

  E. augmenting

  分析:此题中,空中应填一个正面词汇,呼应前面提到的salutary,并与后面的cannot eliminate such discomfort构成同义反义.所以应选A.

  E.G.4 Tame koala bears handledby tourists are -------, but wild koala are hard to control typically requiredtwo people to hold them.

  A. mischievous

  B. gluttonous

  C. supple

  D. adroit

  E. docile

  分析:此题由两句话构成,前半句是说考拉熊怎么样,下文却说野生考拉熊很难驾驭,因此在这里构成反义重复. adroit意为敏捷的,supple柔软的,gluttonous贪吃的. 因此应该选E.
