新航道上海學校SAT培訓班小編繼續給大家帶來SAT文法第十期，每期分享3-5個文法知識點，幫助大家更好地備考SAT。

  一、形近詞

  1. 含義：

  主要考察動詞、名詞、形容詞和副詞中詞義辨析的詞匯題。

  2. 用法：

  積累常見的形近詞：

  (1) affect(動詞) vs effect(名詞)

  (2) cite as引用 vs. site選址;地址 (OG4 Q30)(18.6NA Q18)(19.5NA Q8)

  (3) adopt采用 vs adapt適應 vs adept熟練的 (18.10AS Q19)

  (4) exhaustive 詳盡的 vs. exhausting 耗盡的 (16.11AS Q40)

  注：OG4 Q30為官方指南4的30題;18.6NA Q18為2018年6月北美真題18題，下同。

  例如：

  Snow’s research was too compelling for the local council to ignore: they eventually removed the Broad Street pump from service, effectively ending the cholera outbreak in Soho.(本句中的effectively修飾ending，表示有效地意思)

  真題檢測

  真題檢測1

  D. cite in search for

  解析：通過cite, site等選項看出是形近詞的考點，各選項的意思為：cite引用、site地址、sight景象、in search of=in search for尋找，而與前面social media的最合適的搭配是site，所以排除cite, sight等選項，所以排除A/C/D三個選項，所以選B。
