完整SC解題流程(2015年修正):以OG2016-13為例

原文發表於Dustin部落格:http://dustingmat.blogspot.tw/2015/09/sc2015og2016-sc13.html

一年多前,在這個video上談到了Dustin自己的解題流程
最近在研究更多SC的題目後,Dustin研發了一個改良版的解題流程。
線上skype諮詢時間教給不少準備者試用之後,
發現整體來說,大家的SC的正確率與時間皆有顯著的進步。

因此,在這裡將改良版的SC解題流程分享給大家。並且會以OG2016的SC新題No.13做示範。
請各位先來用自己原來的方法,做一次這個題目,記一下做題時間跟自已的流程:

Although Alice Walker published a number of essays, poetry collections, and stories during the 1970s, her third novel, The Color Purple, which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize.

(A) which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National   
       Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize
(B) published in 1982, bringing her the widest acclaim by winning both the National Book Award 
      and the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and 
      the Pulitzer Prize
(D) was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, 
      brought her the widest acclaim
(E) was published in 1982, winning both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and 
      bringing her the widest acclaim

現在來講解Dustin最近研究的新SC解題流程:

Step 1:瞄一眼畫線部分長短,判斷是否為短題

*短題標準:
(1)目測選項長度只能容納一到兩個差異點(考點)
(2) 一眼能同時比較五個選項

若是短題,則請直接下去一眼同時比較五個選項,透過差異點回去找線索

如若五個選項的差異點在助動詞單複數,則等等回去找直接主詞差異點若在動詞形式改變,則等等回去找平行/找該格在文章結構中該用什麼形式...即可直接刪去不適當的答案。
(培養對差異點的敏銳度,請參考「如何做總結」「總結後的收斂歸納」

若不是短題(亦即一眼無法看完五個選項,且目測容納差異超過兩個),請至Step 2


Step 2:選項分類,把開頭或結尾長相相近的選項分在一起

比如:

S, Ving..., V+O...
(A) ,Ving...(B) ,Ving...(C) ,which V...(D) ,Ving...(E) ,which V...

此時ABD分一類 CE分一類。
(當然有時候不會只有3-2 split,可能還有2-2-1、2-1-1-1之類的)


Step 3:剛剛用來分類的,長相相近的地方,
              如果是能明顯判斷的文法考點則直接解掉

比如若分出來的開頭有句首Ving,則直接檢查邏輯主詞分出來的開頭是has/have,則直接檢查主詞單複數

*偏好性(冗長精簡、寫法好壞)千萬不要在這時候判斷
*不確定的考點先不要硬解,比如:

(A) ,Ving...(B) ,Ving...(C) ,which V...(D) ,Ving...(E) ,which V...

這時候單看這幾個字,都可以做非限定修飾,所以就先放著不要硬解


Step 4:讓同一類的選項做兩兩比較(組內PK)

比如若剛剛ABD/CE這樣分組,則先把C跟E逐字比對
兩個選項的任何差異都是「準考點」。

至於分組若有三個選項以上(如ABD),則先抓兩個更像的兩兩相比
比如AD長比較像,則先拿AD比,比贏的再跟B比(擂台戰)

Step 4-1:看到選項「差異點」(也就是準考點)時,先判斷屬於哪種層級的考點

優先順序:
文法正確與否(簡稱文法)>句意是否合理清晰(簡稱句意)>表達是否精簡漂亮(簡稱寫法好壞)

遇到文法的點,當下直接解掉
遇到句意的點,先扣著,繼續往後找有沒有文法的差異點,沒有才能回來解句意
遇到寫法好壞的點,更要忍住,等文法&文意解完才能判斷
如果遇到不確定的考點,先不要判斷,直接避開,找其他點解

Step 4-2:確定解掉一個考點而刪去某選項,請往其他四個選項的同樣位置看是否有同樣錯誤
比如若ABD/CE分類之下,CE相比,因為E的某個文法點錯誤而將E刪去
接著往其他選項的同樣位置刪,發現B也有同樣的文法錯誤,則亦可順道將B刪去
這樣子就會迅速剩下AD/C(接著再把AD相比,繼續重複PK戰)

Step 5:小組PK結束後,把各小組勝者來做最後比較的決戰。

實例解說

以下再度回到OG2016-13,用新的解題流程重做一次:

Although Alice Walker published a number of essays, poetry collections, and stories during the 1970s, her third novel, The Color Purple, which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize.

(A) which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National 
       Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize
(B) published in 1982, bringing her the widest acclaim by winning both the National Book Award  
       and the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and 
      the Pulitzer Prize
(D) was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, 
       brought her the widest acclaim
(E) was published in 1982, winning both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and 
      bringing her the widest acclaim

Step 1:判斷畫線長度
推測應包含兩個以上的差異點且無法五個選項一眼比較完成--非短題

Step 2:選項分類

(A) which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National 
       Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize
(B) published in 1982, bringing her the widest acclaim by winning both the National Book Award 
      and the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and 
       the Pulitzer Prize
(D) was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, 
       brought her the widest acclaim
(E) was published in 1982, winning both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and 
       bringing her the widest acclaim

Step 3:用來分類的地方是否能直接用文法解掉?

觀察文法,發現
(A) her third novel, The Color Purple, which was published... (which非限定修飾N)
(B/C) her third novel, The Color Purple, published in 1982, ... (Vpp片語非限定修飾N)
(D/E) her third novel, The Color Purple, was published in 1982,(S+beV+Vpp被動句結構)
在文法上皆屬合理,無法直接判斷。


Step 4:組內PK囉!

(B) published in 1982, bringing her the widest acclaim by winning both the National Book Award 
      and the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and 
      the Pulitzer Prize

Step 4-1:判斷考點層級

第一個差異點,判斷考點層級:
B選項屬於句尾,Ving的延伸結構,句意上必須要對前面緊接著的動作有詳細說明或連帶結果,屬於句意考點。C選項則為單純的主要動詞結構(her third novel...brought...)。


由於需要用句意判斷,因此先往後看是否有還有文法考點可以優先解。

紅色處為第二個差異點,判斷考點層級:
B選項屬於by Ving 文法可以接在句子後面,但是必須要有「藉由...手段」的意思,屬於句意
C選項屬於句尾,Ving的延伸結構,
句意上必須要對前面緊接著的動作有詳細說明或連帶結果,屬於句意考點

因此,兩個差異都是用句意。這時挑自己有把握的判斷

B選項的句尾Ving指的是「為作者帶來最廣泛的讚賞」,前句「小說在1982年出版」跟「得到讚賞」既非合理因果關係(不是只要出版就會受到讚賞)也非補充說明(得到讚賞跟出版小說是兩回事),因此刪去B。

B選項「藉由贏得獎項來得到大眾廣泛讚賞」跟C選項「得到大眾廣泛讚賞後,因此得了獎」
兩句在考場上可能覺得都合理,無法判斷,所以避開。


因此依有把握判斷的差異點先刪去B。

Step 4-2:確定刪掉一個點後,往其他選項的同樣位置看有沒有同樣錯誤

(E) was published in 1982, winning both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and bringing her the widest acclaim

發現E有同樣錯誤,於是刪去。此時選項剩下ACD,剛剛分的小組已經打完了(因為DE裡面的E也順帶在上一步被刪掉,DE無比較必要)

遇到3個以上的選項要比較時,繼續盡量找相近的,開始打擂台戰

(A) which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National 
       Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and 
       the Pulitzer Prize
(D) was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, 
       brought her the widest acclaim

我會選擇先將結構同樣是「 S+ 修飾語 (which子句/Vpp片語修飾)+ 主要動作brought her the widest acclaim...」的AC,放在一起比較。

(A) which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National 
       Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and 
       the Pulitzer Prize

形容詞子句或片語做修飾,在這邊文法上句意上都沒有問題
因此是屬於寫法精簡與否(寫法好壞)考點,先扣著,往後看有沒有層級更優先的考點

in that雖屬於慣用語(文法),意思是「因為」但是卻相當少見,且記憶中舊版OG與新版OG對in that的認定標準不一致,無法確定判斷。舊OG中in that出現在正確答案中,新版OG在解釋中卻說in that是「過時的用法」

再者,到底是A選項的「因為(in that)得獎所以作者獲得廣泛聲譽」
還是C選項的「先獲得廣泛聲譽後再得獎」,在句意上皆無法明確判斷誰比較合理。
因此這個考點我會選擇跳過(不確定的點不要硬解)

最後的差異點就很明顯是文法考點了,A選項的both...as well as...屬於慣用語搭配錯誤,刪



Step 5:最後把C跟D拿來打決戰

(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and 
       the Pulitzer Prize
(D) was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, 
       brought her the widest acclaim

看到and想到平行,屬於文法考點,直接判斷,
結果發現D選項前面根本沒有平行對象,直接刪去。
最後正確答案為C。

結語

(1) 解題流程固定的必要性

有固定的解題流程,考試時看到SC眼睛不亂瞄亂掃,不會抓了一個點就要開始亂解,
這樣做題速度才會穩定(實證,這套解題流程可以讓SC解題速度達到每題0.5~1min內),正確率也會穩定。進入考點較難判斷的高分區的時候,才不會進退失據,反而心態亂掉。就像是投手的姿勢要固定,投出來的球才不會有的時候好球有的時候暴投,有時快有時慢。

SC真正穩住了,才能把多的時間跟心力分給RC和CR。

(2) 任何時候都不要單獨看一個選項,考點是從比較而來


單獨看選項的時候會漏掉考點,影響正確率(比如修飾語擺放位置不同所造成的句意改變,單看一個選項根本看不出來)單看一個選項也會不小心執著在根本不是考點的地方,浪費時間。比如看到they就去研究指代對象,殊不知五個選項都有they,總不可能五個全刪吧!

有差異的點才是出題點,沒差異的地方就不會考你。

(3) 考點層級很重要

看到一個考點不要急著下去解,
永遠記住:文法>句意>寫法好壞
OG2016已經出現了一些寫法難看,但是因為文法與句意唯一合理,所以是正確的答案。若是先看寫法好壞,則會誤刪掉這些選項。而剛好這些一定又是高分區的難題。
(題目的難度是按照該題答對的人數比例來定的,你若能突破別人的盲點,在別人都選錯的題目選對,你就能拿到高分)

同時,也不要一開始就看句意。因為看句意比判斷文法更需要思考意思合理性,
而這必然會花時間。萬一題目是整句畫線,五個選項各四行,看完時間就超過了。
因此,先以明顯且絕對的文法錯誤嘗試刪去幾個選項,最後留下來的選項數量較少,看句意所多花的時間也相對節省很多。

(4) 不確定的點千萬不要硬解

如你所見,我們有好幾個判斷點跟層級可以走,
文法的點不確定就跳過,換下一個點,
真的沒有確定可以判斷的就換句意解句意跟文法的點都解完or無法判斷了,
再用寫法好壞解不要太快把自己放到憑著可能錯誤的記憶硬解的賭博遊戲裡。

(5) 做好總結與歸納,才能培養判斷考點的敏銳度。

解題流程只是一個策略,策略的細節操作還是需要實力,
實力來自於你過去的總結是否確實。


請參照:
「如何做總結」「總結後的收斂歸納」

以上,祝大家都能取得好成績。
