Question

2道SAT题目~

1(.A Seneca Indian with legal training),Ely Parker made history by writting the Civil War.
A.与原句一致 B.Because he has legal training, Seneca Indian
答案是A.为啥不选B啊感觉好像有因果关系……不然为什么无缘无故提到legal training??
2.A bird A(flying low) across a forest clearing, its B( wings beating) quitely and its ultrasensitive ears tuned to the faint sounds.
答案是A有误，不知是不是应该改成flew lowly呢？为什么不是B应该改成beat呢?和and 并列？为甚一定要第一个分句和and后的并列？
多谢解答！！！：）

Answer 1

1. 首先，B选项的动词是has一般现在时，而后半句的时态是过去时，时态不一致，错误。
再者，A选项是一个名词词组，作Ely Parker的同位语，即可以说Ely Parker was a Seneca Indian，逻辑主语是一致的，因此正确。再如：A writer who well understood the plight of the underprivileged, Richard Wright has been widely acclaimed as the novelist of the downtrodden.

2. A的说法确实错了，应该改成flew low。否则，这个句子没有谓语动词了。
这个句子的结构是这样的：前面半句是主句，后半句是独立主格结构。
独立主格结构是一种特殊的分词结构，其构成方式为“代词/名词+V-ing/-ed ”，如：
The problems solved(= As the problems were solved), he went home.
The girl staring at him(= As the girl stared at him), he didn't know what to say.
第二题中的后半句的独立主格结构表示伴随状况，相当于and its wings beat quietly and its ultrasensitive ears were tuned to the faint sounds.
再如：He was lying on the grass,his hands crossed under his head (=and his hands were crossed under his head).

Answer 2

1括号内的成分其实是一个同位语，是Ely Parker的同位语。意思是一个有着法律训练的塞内卡印第安人
整个句子的意思是Ely Parker,一个有着法律训练的塞内卡印第安人,通过写了国内战争创造了历史。
他有法律训练，并不能成为他写书的直接原因
2A改成flies low这里需要一个动词，但不一定要用过去式，low做补语，不用改成lowly
B是its B( wings beating) quitely 和its ultrasensitive ears tuned to the faint sounds.这两个都不是一个句子，而是独立主格结构。如果是句子的话，就得是
its wings are beating quitely and its ultrasensitive ears are tuned to the faint sounds.
省了两个are所以这就不是句子，而是一种结构，功能是做状语

Answer 3

1、B犯了语法改错的大忌——改变原意，所以不能选。做题时切忌凭自己的主观臆断来选择答案。
2、对。flew low; 换个句型可能会好理解点： Its wings beating quitely, a bird flew low across a forest clearing, and its ultrasensitive ears turned to the faint sounds. 只有独立主格结构可以解释。
