這部分常見考察點(diǎn)：
1.支離破碎的句子。 例如： Although he studies hard.
2.沒(méi)有用標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)來(lái)分割句子。例如：In the past I worked at a language school in New Zealand now I am back in China.
3. 使用不正確的逗號(hào)切割句子。例如： Alex finished her homework early, after that she drove to Maria’s house.
4. 邏輯錯(cuò)誤，如該使用but連接卻使用了and。邏輯指代錯(cuò)誤等。
5. 修飾詞位置不當(dāng)。
6. 結(jié)構(gòu)不對(duì)稱等。有些連接詞后要對(duì)稱，如： neither…nor…, either… or…, both… and…, the more… the more…, not only… but also… 特別是but also 部分經(jīng)常容易有錯(cuò)誤。還有使用and 連接兩個(gè)沒(méi)有直接關(guān)系的兩個(gè)句子。請(qǐng)看如下幾個(gè)例子：
1. Nineteenth-century nihilists were concerned with neither the origins of philosophical thought nor how societal laws developed. (x) (結(jié)構(gòu)不對(duì)稱)

解析：本句劃線部分為該句的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)，看完全句會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這是個(gè)用逗號(hào)分隔的句子，顯然不符合要求。但因標(biāo)點(diǎn)處沒(méi)有劃線，所以不能改動(dòng)。根據(jù)兩句 的意思可以看出應(yīng)該是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以B既解決了邏輯問(wèn)題，有避免了逗號(hào)切割句子的問(wèn)題。A構(gòu)成句子碎片，所以不正確。C和E沒(méi)有解決逗號(hào)分隔句子的問(wèn)題。 D邏輯關(guān)系不對(duì)。
