本期新航道培训班小编将解析2021年8月SAT文法中的合并题，带大家一览新考题。

题型：Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?

考核点：考生须将两个独立句子合并为一句，合并部分已在原文下标。这类题型不仅考核语法，且注重措辞简洁度。

2021年8月亚太卷

原文：As a result, machine translations are often laughably awkward and outright misleading. They are especially awkward and misleading when ambiguous words or phrases are used.

题目：Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?

A. misleading ambiguous words and phrases especially cause these two things when they

B. misleading – it is especially awkward and misleading when ambiguous words or phrases

C. misleading, and this happens especially when ambiguous words or phrases

D. misleading especially when ambiguous words or phrases

解析：后一句中的awkward and misleading前一句已出现，不可以再重复，因此排除AB选项;同时，C选项中的this指代前一整句话，也是不必要的，排除，因此答案选D最为简洁。

句意：因此，机器翻译往往令人啼笑皆非，尤其是在使用模棱两可的词语或短语时，会产生彻头彻尾的误导。

原文：Her film’s episodic, dreamlike plot and lingering close-up cameras shots of characters and food dishes served to memorialize a way of life. They did this instead of advancing the story.

题目：Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?

A. life, instead of having the story advance.

B. life rather than advance the story.

C. life they did it rather than advancing the story.

D. life this was done instead of advancing the story.

解析：特别注意其中包含代词的选项，如C中的they/it、D中的this，合并句子时都是不必要的赘述，排除;AB两个选项中B相较于A措辞更简洁，选B。

句意：她的电影的情节如梦如幻，对人物和食物的特写镜头挥之不去，是对一种生活方式的纪念，而不是对故事的推进。

原文：He decided that the NMAAHC should use the experiences of African Americans as a lens. He made this decision with the thought that through such a lens one can view American culture as a whole.

题目：Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?

A. lens through which to view

B. lens; through this lens, one views

C. lens, with the view of

D. lens, and through it, to view

解析：排除含有指代的选项，包括B(this lens)、D(it)，C选项使用view的名词用法却使句意不符合原文，因此答案选A。

句意：他决定，NMAAHC应该将非裔美国人的经历作为一个镜头，通过它来看待整个美国文化。

原文：Beginning that December, a research team launched a study. The team wanted to determine whether deer did in fact use the underpasses over three annual migratory cycles (lasting until May 2011).

题目：Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?

A. study to determine

B. study determining

C. study whose goal was the determination of

D. study that was initiated to determine

解析：首先，表目的优先选择to do。B选项中的determining没有目的含义，排除;C选项虽然能体现目的，但不如to do来得简洁，且determine直接用动词更好;D选项中的initiated和launched词义重复。

句意：从那年12月开始，一个研究小组启动了一项研究，以确定鹿是否真的在三个年度迁徙周期(持续到2011年5月)中使用地下通道。
