博森李安精选语法60题：SAT写作740必备老李：大家都知道语法不是那么难，但实际能错4以内又很不容易。很多同学总结了无数条款和规则，可惜考试用不上，遇到难题根本无能为力，因为总结规则者根本就没有理解什么是SAT语法，尤其是难题语法。被我说痛了的同学先别忙拍砖，先试试以下试题，看哪些语法知识点能帮助你。以下语法题目来自本人提炼的高难度试题或代表性试题。大家尽量充分利用这个资源，方法是自己先做，做完后对答案，看看自己如果错了能不能理解哪里出了问题。不要把这个当做简单的又一次语法练习，只有做题的流量，没有水平的增量（反对做题主义）。我的录音出来后反复听录音（我只能录前30个），把老李的读法内化掉！如果你连做40个能错两个以内，那么你的英语理解质量是非常过关，这个材料就不是为你准备的。当然前提是你没有见过这些题目。有几点特别提醒注意：1）如果你没有真正接触过SAT语法，那你的语感在这里根本靠不住！2）句子完整性为最高原则，其次是结构语义一致性。简洁绝对不是最高原则，简洁要以意思的清楚完整为前提！3）难题的选项区分真正的依据是意思！学会把意思读出来！大而话之的选项理解让你连错而不自知！以下是题目和答案。希望大家把困惑写在后面评论中。尤其欢迎你们把错题题号给出来。1.
