Let's tell you how to prepare for the new SAT.
1. The title of a grammar article is very important, because the grammar topics are mainly short articles, so the keywords of the title are the key information of the article, which is very important for the correct rate of expansion and the organization of the topic.
You must read the whole text, but you can't read it at a constant speed. You must read with emphasis and hierarchy, that is, read quickly, because the four articles in the SAT grammar section have a clear structure. Generally speaking, after reading the first paragraph, the first sentence, the last sentence and the turning point of each paragraph, you will get the main idea and paragraph structure of the whole article. After mastering the theme and paragraph structure, we can overcome the most difficult logical relationship problem.
3. The simplification principle of the old SAT is still very important in the grammar part of the new SAT, just like the official guide P 142 of the new SAT: "Conciseness-expressing an idea clearly and accurately is a valuable feature.
University and workplace writing ",but as the new SAT official guide page 128 says," get an A ".
Writing and language tests score high, rather than rote memorization of language rules or comprehensive understanding of grammar. Instead, you need to consider the context-usually in
Paragraph or paragraph level-when choosing your answer. "We can come to the conclusion that it is based on up and down.
Macro-understanding ability based on text is more important.
4. When you brush the official SAT guide and the grammar questions of Khan Academy, you must pay attention to cultivating the macro understanding ability, learn to read quickly, and get the general idea and paragraph structure within 1.5 minutes, so that you can solve the related problems of article development and organization.
In order to better help the students of 6.4 achieve ideal results, Zhiming Education teacher systematically combed the methods and principles of solving SAT grammar, and at the same time, Yang Yang will teach you how to skillfully explain the first article of the third set of grammar topics in the SAT official guide with her own methods and skills, hoping to bring appropriate promotion to the students of 6.4.
Ok, next, let's listen carefully to the teacher of Zhiming Education:
The solution of the SAT grammar part is as follows:
1. Look at the title and get the key words;
2. Read the article quickly and get the theme+text structure;
3. Combined with the context, from easy to difficult. Principle of problem solving: logic is king, close to context and panoramic problem solving method.
Remember: besides the basic test points such as fixed collocation, tense voice, punctuation, semantic repetition and parallel structure, the influence of context on the selected answers must also be considered.
Please go to the official SAT guide P578 to give some enlightenment to the workplace, and we will do the problem according to the SAT problem-solving method just summarized:
1. Look at the title and get two key words: light, workplace.
2. Read the full text quickly to get the general idea:
In the long run, natural light (investment) has proved to be very worthwhile-both for employees and employers.
Lack of natural light has a great impact on the health of employees, which will increase the absenteeism rate of employees and make employees unwilling to work with maximum productivity.
Besides reducing the productivity of workers, artificial light sources are also expensive. 3. Combined with the context, from easy to difficult.
OG3:
1. The first question is a parallel structure question, and the clue is the "and" in the underlined part, so the correct answer should be with happier.
Form a juxtaposition of structure and form: happier, healthier and more effective. The answer is A.
2. The second question is the inherent logical theme of the paragraph. The "most likely article introduction" in the title requires that the selected answer can lead to the following contents. The sentence is the first sentence of this paragraph, which is also the topic sentence. Topic sentences must revolve around the subject words in the title. We can predict that the correct answer must include "light" or "workplace", and the answer is B.
3. The third problem is to add sentence titles, mainly to examine the internal relevance of paragraphs. In front of the third question is a coordinate structure, "eye fatigue, headache and fatigue, and interference with the rhythm of the body." The subject of the sentence after the third question is "circadian rhythm", so if you need to add a sentence, the added sentence must have the keyword "circadian rhythm". "People who work in offices with windows.
Sleep an average of 46 minutes more than people who work in offices without windows. ",the given sentence does not meet the keyword conditions, so the answer is C.
4. The fourth problem is the possessive case in basic grammar. After reading the options, many students lost their eyes and felt that the four options were almost the same. Do you still remember the problem-solving principle of "close to the context and panoramic problem-solving method" by Teacher Yang? If you look carefully, you will find that there is a phrase "circadian rhythm of human body" in front of the title of the third question, so the answer to the fourth question should obviously be in the same form as this sentence, that is, the biological clock of human body. The answer is C.
5. The fifth question is the subject-predicate agreement in basic grammar, while the SAT refers to nearby, so here it is.
It means that employees are absent from work, so the answer is obviously a.
6. The sixth question is the internal logic of the paragraph, and the stem is "Which choice can best support the statement in the previous sentence?" "The key message conveyed by the sentence before question 6 is that employees who rely on sleep are unlikely to work at maximum efficiency. So, we can see that question 6 is here.
This sentence is a concrete example of a company in California. There is no doubt that the main function of the example is to support the key word in the previous perception-productivity, and the answer is B.
7. The seventh question is the topic of sentence connection. This sentence is the first sentence in the third paragraph and needs to play a connecting role. The key word of the last two sentences in the second paragraph is productivity, so what do you want to say in the third paragraph? Judging from the two sentences given, the first sentence is the information at the end of the second paragraph except the low productivity of workers. Second sentence: They usually account for 25% to 50% of building energy consumption. It's the details, for the sake of synchronization: artificial light sources are also expensive. Therefore, the correct form of the combined two sentences is: narration.
Because it reduces the productivity of workers, artificial light sources are also expensive, usually accounting for 25% to 50% of building energy use. Answer a.
The eighth question is a semantic repetition question, because there is a year in front of this question number, so every year needs to be deleted, and the answer is D.
9. The ninth question is the logical question in the paragraph, which examines the logical words. The possibility of reconfiguring building lighting in the first sentence of this paragraph includes three ways: installing full-pane windows; Install the lamp tube; Glass walls and partitions, so the sentences in these three ways are parallel, so you should choose alternative, which means, as one of the choices. In this way, it can also echo the sentence "The Great Wall and divers can also be used instead of solid walls". The correct answer to this question is C.
10. the tenth question is the topic of sentence structure, and the connection between two sentences is investigated. This is one of the core test sites for improving the topic of old SAT sentences: two sentences must be connected by conjunctions or semicolons, commas cannot connect two sentences, and adverbs and prepositions cannot connect two sentences. Therefore, the answer is c, which leads to an unrestricted attributive clause.
1 1. the eleventh question is fixed collocation, as a means, and the answer is B.
