SAT语法问题

1.Born Charles Hardin Holley, Buddy Holly recorded some of the most distinctive
and influential songs in rock-and-roll music, <which includes> such classics as
“That'll Be the Day,” “Rave On,” and “Peggy Sue.”

答案将<which includes>改为including, 不就修饰Buddy Holly了吗？如同
SVO,doing（doing修饰"S"而不是"O")

再如：Every year, toy manufacturers gather groups of children into playrooms,
observing their choices of toys and predicting which new products will become
the most popular.

这里的“observing”修饰“toy manufacturers”。

2.The educator’s remarks stressed that well-funded
literacy programs are needed if everyone is to gain
the skills required for survival in society.

为什么这个句子中的“are”和“is”不是过去时呢？当主句是过去时，从句什么
时候可以用现在时？

3.After the grueling rehearsal, the pianist felt <wore> out and wanted only to
sleep.

为什么“wore”会错呢？ only没有放错位置吗？副词放在动词前后都可以吗？

4.A great gray owl "flying low" across a forest clearning, its "wings beating" quietly
and its ultrasensitive ears tuned to the "faint sounds" made by small "creatures
concealed" under leaves.

引号表示划线部分。
答案是“flying low",为什么呢？ 我觉得错在“wings beating”,认为应改为“wings
beat” 和“tuned”结构平行。

5.Determined to make a name "for herself" "as a writer" of short stories, Helen
never submits anything to an editor until "revising" it several times.

答案是“revising”，为什么呢？

6. “Many of” the senator's speeches, which were “enthusiastically received” by the
large crowds “that” came to see him, addressed “an important topic”, including
health care and global warming.

引号表示划线部分。
答案是“an important topic”。可我觉得“that”不对，因为它不能修饰“crowds”，
“that”在这里是指人？

7. This biography, with “its myriad” quotations from unnamed sources, “is” as
blant “an example” of character assassination of “any” I have ever seen.

引号表示划线部分。
答案是“any”，为什么呢？

8.“Prior to” the election of Henry Cisneros “as mayor” of San Antonio in 1981, no
major city in the United States “had had” a mayor “from Mexican descent”.

引号表示划线部分。
答案是“form Mexican descent”，为什么呢？为什么这里要用“had had”时态呢？

9. French mountain honey “made” from linden blossoms, which are “sometimes
called” "lime blossoms", “have” a “distinctively” citrus flavor.

引号表示划线部分。

答案是“have”，可我觉得“distinctively”不对，因为它是副词，难道“citrus”在这
里作形容词吗？

期待你的回复！谢谢！！！

Answer 1

1. 改为 which include， 从句主语为which指代的先行词 songs， 复数， 谓语不能用第三人称单数。
2. 因为从句里的内容是 客观事实。 比如 “伽利略在1xxx年说， ‘两个铁球会同时落下’” 说是过去的动作， 但是说的内容是客观事实。
3. wore是一般过去时， 这里应该用worn过去分词， 形容词-疲惫不堪的。
4. 如果按你那样改 句子主体为 “静静拍打翅膀and XXXXXX样的耳朵 听着XXXX样的声音” 翅膀和耳朵的动作 分量太不平行， 明显是在重点说耳朵咋地； 句子的本意为， and分开两句话， 前半句是 “随着翅膀轻拍， 猫头鹰飞过森林” 后半句是 “什么什么的耳朵转向什么什么的声音”。 当然你说的 改法语法也成立， 但是句子表达的意思 不如正确的改法那么均衡合理。
5. until有介词和连词的意思， 当表达 “直到11月11号”或者 “直到his death”这样的 直到纯名词， 用介词； 如果题中这样 直到某动作， 就用连词 until she revises
6. 明显， 一个重要话题， 不能概括后面 俩事儿。
