[新SAT样题3]
[. . . ] During his career, Kingman exhibited his work internationally. He garnered much acclaim. [. . . ]
Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?
A) internationally, and Kingman also garnered
B) internationally; from exhibiting, he garnered
C) internationally but garnered
D) internationally, garnering
This question asks students to demonstrate skill in combining sentences smoothly and logically. Students must demonstrate an appreciation?of the subtleties of language by recognizing that while all of the?choices create grammatical sentences, only one choice (choice D, “internationally, garnering”) preserves the writer’s intended meaning (unlike choice C, “internationally but garnered,” which illogically makes the two ideas in the sentence seem at odds with each other) and avoids clumsy repetition (unlike choice B, “internationally; from exhibiting, he garnered”) or a weak and unclear connection among ideas (unlike choice A, “internationally, and Kingman also garnered”).
本题选择D,考查句间逻辑,要求考生能够更有逻辑的连结句子,这个知识点在老SAT中也经常考到,在ISE和IS中主要体现在连词的考查上,尤其在IP和考查最多,例如:
[作为对比的老SAT语法题目1]
Though best known (A) as a jazz vocalist, he also enjoyed (B) gospel music, whereby (C) he told his manager that he wanted to make a recording of (D) his favorite gospel songs. No error (E)
本题选择C,应改为so, 因为本题中whereby表示凭借某种方式,逻辑不通顺,因此应改为so.

再例如IP中的考法:
Which of the following is the best version of the underlined portion of sentence 8 and 9 (reproduced below)?
In the process Lou Hoover designed for her two young sons a portable crib. It would remain stable during the rocking of a ship.
crib so that it would remain stable
crib, and it would remain stable
crib that nevertheless remained stable
crib that would remain stable
crib. It was designed to remain stable
此题也是考查句间逻辑。
