新航道上海學校SAT培訓班小編繼續給大家帶來SAT文法第十五期，每期分享3-5個文法知識點，幫助大家更好地備考SAT。

  一、連接詞

  1. 含義：

  主要考察連詞的句內關系和副詞的句間關系。

  2. 類型：

  (1)副詞的句間關系：同義關系

  ①因果關系

  1) 原因：result from, for this reason, for these reasons, to illustrate

  2) 結果：therefore, hence, thus, as a result, consequently, thereby, result in, as a consequence, overall

  ②遞進關系

  1) furthermore, as a matter of fact, in fact, moreover, indeed, further, especially, accurately, at that time, in that process, interestingly, particularly=in particular

  ③并列關系

  1) also, on a similar note另一個案例，on top of 另外

  ④例證關系

  1) for example, for instance, in this case, likewise, by the same token, in the same manner

  3. 用法

  (1)句間關系副詞：同義關系

  由于句間關系詞將上下句連接起來，在同義關系中，重點看前后句的邏輯關系。

  1)因果：上句一般是原因，下句一般是結果;

  2)遞進：上下句描述一件事，下句是對上句的詳細描述;

  3)并列：上下句是同類型的并列的兩件事;

  4)例證：下句是一件新的，并且與上句類似的事。

  例如1：可汗57篇32頁第7題

  If a petroleum engineer is able to contribute to an increase in this rate of just a fraction of a percentage, it can mean millions of additional barrels of oil; thus, the demand for the expertise of a petroleum engineer is understandable.

  解析：上句說如果一位石油工程師能夠貢獻自己的一份力，那么這就意味著數百萬桶石油，而下句說對于石油工程師的需求是可以理解的;上句說出了事情的起因，后面對于石油工程師的需求是結果。

  真題檢測

  真題檢測 1

  (16-03NA Q3) Its ability to thrive out of the water as well as in it stems largely from certain physical adaptions that are generally not observed in other fish.

  B. Nevertheless,

  C. Similarly,

  D. By contrast,

  解析：通過題中的in particular看出是副詞的考點，根據“上下句描述一件事，下句是對上句的詳細描述”的原則判斷是遞進關系。下句的bimodal respiration是對上句ability to thrive的詳細描述;而nevertheless然而、similarly相似和by contrast與之相比這三項都不符合句意，所以選A。
