首先,我們要清楚however的詞性是副詞adverb和連詞conjunction,譬如:This is a cheap and simple process. However, there are dangers.
i.副詞用法
ii.意思是used when you are adding a fact or piece of information that seems surprising, or seems very different from what you have just said
However you look at it, it was a wicked thing to do.
i.連詞用法,引導從句,相當于no matter how
ii.意思是in whatever way
而SAT文法中會考察的就是however作為副詞,表示兩個句子之間的邏輯過渡,比如:
At the onset, Fleur wanted to utilize the app to improve the efficiency of her daily tasks. In particular, she wanted to simplify how she responded to unexpected schedule changes during the conference.
A. NO CHANGE
B. Nevertheless,
C. However,
D.Similarly,
做這樣題的時候是有小技巧的,即先排除邏輯一樣的選項,通常出現的兩對就是thus和therefore/as a result以及however和nevertheless/nonetheless,所以排除答案B和C。
接著,要看前后句子的意思,并且還要知道剩下兩個選項各自的用法,similarly是用在有共性的兩個句子之間,比如The cost of food and clothing has come down in recent years. Similarly, fuel prices have fallen quite considerably. 而in particular是用來引出一個具體的信息。這道題的前后句是general(提高工作效率)-specific(如何應對unexpected schedules情況)的關系,所以答案就是A啦。
但是!有一個例外!這個例外就是OG2-25,請看題:
With sea otters to keep the population of sea urchins in check, kelp forests can flourish. In fact, even two years or less of sea otter presence can reduce the sea urchin threat in a coastal area. Without sea otters present, nevertheless, kelp forests run the danger of becoming barren stretches of coastal wasteland known as urchin barrens.
A. NO CHANGE
B. however,
C. hence,
D.likewise,
按照前面講的技巧,排除A和B就會發現沒有正確答案,so,這個題的答案在A和B之間二選一。那么,也就是說,however和nevertheless其實是有差別的!
however前后的信息有個關鍵的地方就是different,而nevertheless的定義是這樣的:in spite of a fact that you have just mentioned,是沒有對比關系的。所以這道題目的答案就是B-however啦,因為前句是with sea otters to…而后句是without sea otters present。除此之外,這里我們SAT文法培訓小顧老師還需要提醒大家,要注意兩點:
1、however的位置非常靈活,可以在句子前、中、后;
2、however還可以表示段落之間的過渡。請看下題:


不要小看這道題哦,沒有幾個同學第一遍能把它做對的。這道題可以首先排除A(上節課講到的經典錯誤)和D(句子之間缺標點),最后在答案B和C之間選擇。
這兩個答案句號和破折號的用法都是正確的,唯一的區別是however的位置:B選項however在句末,C選項however在句首。不要小看了這個位置的差異,它決定了however表示的是哪兩個句子的邏輯過渡,是很重要的。
這道題答案是B,however表示的是本句和上一段的過渡,起到一個承上啟下的作用,而C選項是表示本句和下一句的過渡,不符合這里的表達。
