关于SAT的问题

1.Mary and lucy are both great kids, but mary is the more beautiful girl。这里如果去掉the 变成but mary is more beautiful girl你一定会感到别扭。你的问题在这里同理，the在这里起到特制的作用，指出比较的二者，这里but mary is a more beautiful girl也说得通，但是一定不能没有冠词，冠词在这里表特指

2.concered by/with都可以，正规文法，无可非议

3.find something 这里面没有直接加宾补形容词而是加了不定式to be再加形容词是因为不定式表讲来或者结果的用法。仔细理解这句话会发现这句话在强调volunteer的helpful。其实这里去掉to be也可以被正确理解，但是语气没有加了to be强烈。等你去了college天天使用英语做大量的阅读这样的感觉慢慢就有了，在这里to be用法很微妙，我的解释能力仅限于此。

4. Yankees洋基队，扬基的成员每个人都是一名yankee,整体就是Yankees，是复数，例如Boston sockS, Florida MarlinS。后面的they 指代的是yankees，扬基的队员们。

5.That his presentation on financial strategy was criticized savagely by his

customers who watched it came as a shock to the analyst。 主语从句，that所引导的主语从句,我用括号给你分一下就好理解了。That （his presentation on financial strategy was criticized savagely by his

customers who watched it） came as a shock to the analyst,括号内的内容是主语从句的内容，说白了就是对That补充说明，简化就是that came as a shock。你已经掌握了的是it 作形式主语的句式，比如It is surprising that he is a so smart。变成类似格式，去掉形式主语it就是That( he is so smart) is surprsing

6.Even the play’s most minor characters work together with extraordinary skill,

their interplay creates a moving theatrical experience.
逗号前后是两个句子，各有主语谓语，这在英语文法中是双谓语错误。因为一句话直到句号终止，如果没有连词的话，只能有一个主语一个谓语。这时，你要么用非谓语作状语，或者句号结束再来一句，要么用平行结构连词and或者其他连词比如but because when 再接一句话，但是逗号不能等同于连词，逗号后面必须有连词才能再接一句。如果这里是分号；那这句话就没问题，因为分号等于任意连词。如果你对其他选项有疑问欢迎追问

7.Some speedometers register high speeds as two hundred miles per hour, even though few cars will ever go faster than one hundred.

as...as同时出现，这里表达高达200miles。因为如果不这样表达，只有一个as不地道，而且如果这题不是想说as...as的话，他也不会这样表述，直接可以说 speeds up to 200 miles per hour，不用as

8.
sock: plural socks or sox。想想前面讲的Yankees你就明白了

9.C. G. Jung, a Swiss psychologist, whose renown as a pioneer in the field of

psychoanalysis almost equals that of Sigmund Freud.

把定语从句whose后面的去点，你会发现这句话没有谓语，只剩下C. G. Jung, a Swiss psychologist 。现在你对比一下C和D，找找谁有谓语？

打这么多不容易，追加点儿分吧
