SAT语法备考重点词汇之Direction Words

　　SAT语法备考对于整个SAT考试的备考都有很大的影响，因为掌握了SAT语法的相关内容，有助于大家理解SAT考试的其他部分。下面就为大家介绍一下在SAT语法备考中的重点词汇，即Direction Words。这类词汇又什么作用呢?下面是详细内容。

　　SAT语法词汇中，Direction Words的作用体现在，预判focus或topic，预判细节关系，确定阅读速度的快慢。

　　来看下面的例子：

　　Reports on an organizations projects may fill several major functions at the same time. A report can be used to educate and gain support from key people and groups, to facilitate and inform decision-making about current and future projects, and to provide documentation for the organizations records.

　　上面文字中的several是一个不定数词，它属于Classification Listing这一类Direction Words，当它出现在观点句中或者结论句中的时候，它表明紧跟在它后面的名词或者名词短语就是下面文字的topic or focus，在这里我们知道下面文字的中心是报告的主要功能。其次通过several这一结构指示词，我们还可以判定下面的细节部分不是分类讨论结构就是列举结构。最后我们既然已经能够预判下文的中心和结构，也就自然能够加快阅读速度了，毕竟已知大意和目的的内容可以加快阅读。

　　下面是六类SAT语法词汇中的Direction Words。
