SAT语法：盘点“so”的用法.docVIP

SAT语法：盘点“so”的用法 SAT考试的各单项考试都离不开语法。有些语法点虽然简单，但如果考生没有将其吃透就很容易造成失分的现象。以单词so”为例，这个单词虽短，也很常见，它词意丰富，搭配众多，且词性诡异，在SAT语法考试部分，其出镜率很高， 　　一、so”作为连词 　　1释义：for that reasonand therefore 　　例句：There are no more chairs available, so youll have to stand. 　　1.The problem of copyright violation, frequently compounded in certain countries because the sale and use of copyrighted materials are not tightly controlled. (OG：第八套题) 　　A. violation, frequently compounded in certain countries because 　　B. violation, frequently compounded in certain countries and 　　C. violation, frequently compounded in certain countries when 　　D. violation is frequently compounded in certain countries where 　　E. violation is frequently compounded in certain countries so 　　此题的考点是不完整句，谓语动词部分缺少了用于构成被动语态的助动词is，当答案范围圈定D和E时，就需要从where和so来下手了。通读题干，我们知道这里应该是因果关系，所以选择E。 　　2. 释义：used to say the reason for something 　　例句：Please be quiet so I can study. 　　此时也可以使用so that：Ill get a map so that we can plan where to go. 　　2. My mother always gave my sister and I (A) the same treats when we were little so that (B) neither of us would be (C) jealous of the other (D) . No error (E) (真题：09年10月) 　　此题的考点是代词的格，答案为A。在这道题目中，so that是一个从属连词，表示“以便”。 　　二、so”作为副词 　　1. 释义：used when you are emphasizing a fact by saying what the result of it is 　　例句：She was so tired that she almost fell asleep at the dinner table. 　　这就是大名鼎鼎的so...that句型，在SAT语法考试中屡屡出现哦! 　　3. The new regulations have so complicated the process of formulating a school budget to where no one on the Board of Education is eager to undertake the task. (真题：06年10月) 　　A. budget to where 　　B. budget, therefore 　　C. budget, even 　　D. budget as 　　E. budget that 　　此题答案为E，so...that表达了正确的语义逻辑。 　　2. 释义：and so=and therefore 　　例句：Madeira has an ideal climate, and so it is not surprising that it has become a tourist paradise. 　　有的同学只知道so是连词，因此看到and so的时候，会觉得是两个连词一起使用，任务是错误用法。其实在and so这个搭配中，and是连词，so是副词。请看题： 　　例4. Fabric was very expensive in the United States before the Industrial Revolution, this is
