SAT改革语法部分新考点全解读 　　SAT考试自2016年起正式启用改革新题，就SAT语法部分来说，命题者摒弃了那些死抠语法规则的题目，鼓励考生去扮演一个小编辑，来润色文章，使之更通顺。那么，我们要如何应对这一改变呢？之前备考归纳的那些语法点还有用吗？其实，新旧SAT考题考查的语法点还是基本相似的，只不过有四个新增考点需要大家加以重视。 　　论据是否恰当 　　这个考点要求考生检验文章中的信息（如细节、事实、数据）是否可以支持文章观点。 　　【样题】His broader brush strokes and sponge-painted shapes create majestic city skylines， with skyscrapers towering in the background， bridges connecting neighborhoods on either side of a river， and delicately painted creatures， such as a tiny， barely visible cat prowling in the bushes of a park. 　　Question： The writer wants to complete the sentence with a third example of a detail Kingman uses to create his majestic city skylines. Which choice best accomplishes this goal？ 　　A. NO CHANGE 　　B. exquisitely lettered street and storefront signs. 　　C. other details that help define Kingmans urban landscapes. 　　D. enormous ships docking at busy urban ports. 　　【分析】此题问的是四个选项中哪个例子更能体现Kingman的创作取材。原文中的majestic是关键词，这位画家擅长描绘“宏伟的”城市景观，所以例子也必须体现“宏伟”。如此一来，原句（cat）和B （street和signs）、C （details）两项都不够大气，只有D项“泊入繁忙市区港口的大船”才能体现宏伟。故答案为D。 　　【启示】这道题中的原句并没有语法错误，其真正考的是论据的恰当性，因此在做此类题时，考生不能把注意力停留在语法层面，而必须读懂上下文，体会作者意图，找到支持观点的证据或例子。 　　用词是否准确 　　此考点要求考生判断文章中某个词的措辞是否恰当，是否符合上下文语境。 　　【样题】As Kingman developed as a painter， his works were often compared to paintings by Chinese landscape artists dating back to CE 960， a time when a strong tradition of landscape painting emerged in Chinese art. Kingman， however， vacated from that tradition in a number of ways， most notably in that he chose to focus not on natural landscapes， such as mountains and rivers， but on cities. 　　Question： The writer wants to indicate that Kingman deviated from the tradition of Chinese landscape painting. Which version of the underlined part makes the most sense in the context？ 　　A. NO CHANGE B. evacuated 　　C. departed D. retired 　　【分析】题目问的是要不要把划线的vacated换掉。原文大意是：人们常常拿Kingman的作品和中国传统风景画作比较。可是，他不画山水自然景观，而是专攻城市风情，不走寻常路。由此可以猜出划线部分的词语应该表达“偏离”之意。通过观察可以发现，四个选项都有“离”的含义，但是原词vacate指的是“腾出（地方或场所）；辞去（职位）”，不
