新SAT语法备考：详解标准英语使用

　　众所周知，SAT或ACT考试成绩在美国大学申请中占有一定的地位，尽管美国的大学并不是唯分数论，但是对于要求提供SAT或ACT考试成绩的学校来说，申请者如果能取得较好的SAT或ACT成绩就会为申请增加成功的砝码。

　　SAT2，亦称SATII，或SAT Subject，是美国大学录取应届高中生时采用的学业水平考试。SAT2考试采用全球统一试卷，因此其成绩具有全球可比性，是衡量不同地区学生的学业水平的重要参考，在录取实际操作过程中往往替代高中成绩单。不同于SAT的综合能力测试，SAT2是一种专项水平测试，考察学生某一科目的水平。目前SAT2的科目分为数学、科学、语言、英语、历史与社会科学五大类。其中数学类有数学一和数学二两门，科学类有物理、化学、生物三门，语言类有法语、德语、西班牙语、中文、日语、韩语、希伯莱语、拉丁语等十二门，英语类只有英语文学一门;历史与社会科学类有美国历史和世界历史两门。以上加起来共计二十门考试。目前北美地区每年有7次考试，分别在1月，3月，5月，6月，10月，11月，12月的第一个周六;世界其他地区3月没有考试，其他6次考试时间与北美相同。

　　SAT2在考取美国高中时不是必须的，有些好的大学也不要求，但是如果不考SAT2高中毕业想申请好的大学时就会受到很大限制。

　　SAT1和SAT2的总分分别是多少?SAT1和SAT2的总分都是2400分，SAT1写作阅读数学三门各800分，SAT2也是三门自选各800分。

　　SAT官网中对语法部分的考察划分为两大考察方向，包括：(1) Expression of Ideas (2) Standard English Conventions.那么下面主要为大家介绍的是第二大类，标准英语使用的考察，下面我们就一起来看看新SAT语法考察-标准英语使用详解的详细内容吧。

　　一.标准英语使用介绍

　　Conventions aren’t just about etiquette; they’re the customs we use and rely on throughout the culture in order to make our dealings with other people function more smoothly. Language conventions are much like conventions in other parts of our lives. Language conventions offer a standard (typical, broadly agreed-upon) way to construct written expression in a manner that meets people’s expectations and thereby helps ensure that our spoken and, especially, our written utterances are received and understood.

　　我们这里所说的Conventions并不只表示的是礼节上需要注意的东西，此外还指的是在与他人打交道时的一种习惯。而这种语言的标准使用规范可以然我们在对话，写作中都能互相理解。

　　二.具体考察类型
