以下是上期New SAT的识别句子错误(Identifying sentence errors)的简明解释。
1. Susan and Peter /were inspired (A) to become /a professional writer (B) / after hearing (C) a famous journalist /speak about (D) the challenges of investigative reporting. No error. (E)
【解释】(B)改为professional writers,因为主语Susan and Peter是复数。
2. /Quick to (A) /take advantage (B) of Melanie Johnson’s /preoccupation in (C) the History of the Johnson family, the genealogist proposed investigating /that (D) history — for a large fee. No error. (E)
【解释】(C)应为preoccupation with。
3. Howard Gardner, an /observer of (A) Chinese elementary education, has questioned the view that
requiring young children /to copy (B) models /prevents (C) them from becoming /a creative artist (D) later in
life. No error. (E)
【解释】(D)应为creative artists. 注意:前面是them。
4. The labor union /is negotiating (A) a contract with the hospital /that (B) /will satisfy (C) the demands of
the workers and /be acceptable (D) to all levels of management.
No error. (E)
【解释】(E) No error。关系代词that指a contract,will satisfy…and [will] be acceptable平行。
5. The research study /reveals (A) startling proof of a /constant (B) changing seafloor that /comprises (C) the
major /part of (D) the underwater landscape. No error. (E)
【解释】(B)应为constantly,修饰changing。Constantly changing修饰seafloor。
6. /Since some (A) people are /convinced that (B) dowsing, a method of finding underground water with a
Y-shaped stick, is effective, but others condemn the procedure /as (C) /mere superstition.(D) No error. (E)
【解释】(A)应为Some,因为后面没有划线的but表明这句句子是并列句。
7. /Nearly all (A) of the editors of the magazine /agree (B) that of the two articles /to be published (C),
Fujimura’s is the /more exciting (D). No error. (E)
【解释】(E) No error. 两者之间比较,用比较级是对的。
8. The exchange between the teacher and the student /promotes (A) learning /far different (B) from that
which results /as (C) the student listens /but does not (D) participate.
No Error.(E)
【解释】(C)应为when。
