ACT和SAT考試中的標點符號

　　標點標記在現行SAT語法測驗中占比相對於較少，通常為會聯合Run-on Sentence/Comma splice考核。然則在SAT改造文件中，官方明白誇大要考標點標記，這一點與ACT文章改錯請求沒有太大差異。咱們可以拿兩道例題來比擬一下：

　　新SAT官方樣題Sample Writing and Language Set I

　　[5] The name Kingman was selected for its two (2) parts,“king” and “man”; Cantonese for “scenery” and “composition. ”

　　2. A) NO CHANGE

　　B) parts: “king” and “man”

　　C) parts “king” and “man”;

　　D) parts; “king” and “man”

　　Around this time the polka music and button accordion played by German immigrant rail-Road (14)workers; left their mark on waila.

　　14. F. NO CHANGE

　　G. workers

　　H. workers;

　　J. workers,

　　由此比較可以看出，標點標記部門的考核兩種測驗是異常相似的。

　　雷同點三：文章構造/邏輯幹系 Organization/ Introductions, conclusions, and transitions

　　文章構造在改造後SAT中占領必定比重，而這一考點與ACT也是同等的。值得存眷的是，在現行SAT測驗中的Improving Paragraph 文章改良題中也有響應的考點，平日請求考生在某一個句子的開首插入一個單詞大概詞組，而考生須要存眷左右兩段大概兩句的邏輯幹系。咱們拿三道題來比擬一下。

　　新SAT官方樣題Sample Writing and Language Set II

　　(4)Next, representatives from the local public health department might provide input in designing a network of trails and sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.

　　(B) In other words

　　(C) However

　　(D) In contrast

　　(E) Supposedly

　　比擬一下這三道題會發明，考核的是考生雷同的才能，對付文章構造的把控。在恰當地位填入響應邏輯幹系詞，包管文章左右句構造順暢完全。
