在SAT语法考试中，无论是连接句子考点或是平行结构考点，都会考察并列连词的用法。同学们想将语法分数稳握在手，就需要彻底搞懂这些连词的用法及相关考点。常考的并列连词总共有七个 “for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so”，很好记，咱们将这七个连词的首字母提取出来，就可以组合成为一个单词：FANBOYS！将其想象成“电扇男孩”，就能轻松记忆啦。
TD SAT教研组将会详细为大家讲解FANBOYS连词中每个词的用法及考点。本文将介绍第一个考频最高的并列连词AND的三大功能，助力同学们在考试中拿到与AND有关的所有分数。
一、用AND连接两个单词/短语/从句
【常见形式】A and B
例:
apples and bananas（单词）
eat apples and drink coffee （短语）
I want to know why you like her and how much de you like her. （从句）
【标点符号考点】
and连接两个单词、短语、及从句时，不需要加标点符号。
【真题演练】
In 2018, a team of researchers led by Dr. Caitlin Whalen compiled every available measurement of ocean mixing rates from the past two decades. With this novel data set, the team was able to determine how current-driven mixing varies across ______and what impact it has on the distribution of heat and nutrients in the ocean.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A regions,
B regions:
C regions;
D regions
答案：D
解析：比对选项不对之处，会发现不同点是regions后的标点符号不同，那么很可能考查句式结构，回到原文，找到信号词and，前面就是空格，因此这道题想考察and之前的标点符号，仔细阅读后会发现，and之后是个宾语从句，and前后形式应该一致，那么前面应该也是宾语从句。此处第一个从句为“how current-driven mixing varies across regions”，第二个为“what impact it has on the distribution of heat and nutrients in the ocean”。“and”连接两个从句时不需要加任何标点符号。因此正确答案是D。
二、用AND连接两个独立完整句
【常见形式】
- SVO, and SVO.
- SVO—and SVO.
例：
I like math, and I have a math class today.
I like math—and I have a math class today.
【标点符号考点】
在SAT考试中，and不能被独立用于连接两个完整句，前面要加逗号或者破折号！
【真题演练】
Detroit natives Timothy Paule and Nicole Lindsey have combined their two passions, Detroit and beekeeping, to improve the health of their city's flowers and other vegetation. In 2017, the couple converted a vacant lot in the city into an _ in the years that followed they acquired nine additional lots and established more than 35 hives.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A. apiary,
B. apiary, and
C. apiary and
D. apiary
答案：B
解析：快速浏览选项找不同，会发现有的选项有连词，有的只有逗号，或者什么标点都没有，那么我们可以先回原文确认一下是否有句子需要连接。回到空格前后去句子，发现前后都有完整的主谓宾结构，the couple converted…; they acquired nine additional lots…所以要选择合理方式连接句子。四个答案中：AD会造成句子run-on。而and 连接句子必须加逗号或破折号，C排除。因此正确答案就是B啦。
三、AND连接三者（或以上的）平行
【常见形式】
A, B, and C
例：
I invited many friends to my party: Lisa, Lily, Tom, and Jerry.
【标点符号考点】
and连接三者或以上的平行，需要在每个并列的部分之间加逗号，最后一部分之前加逗号和and。
【真题演练】
A standard Argo float, a type of autonomous robot, measures temperature and salinity in the upper regions of ice-free oceans. More advanced floats can measure a wider range of _ and monitor seasonal ice zones.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A. variables: travel to greater depths
B. variables, travel to greater depths,
C. variables travel to greater depths,
D. variables, travel to greater depths;
答案：B
解析：观察四个选项，发现区别在于variables以及depths后的标点符号不同。回到原文，分析句子成分。经分析，句子主干为：More advanced floats can do ①， ②, and ③. 所以第一个并列成分是 “ measure a wider range of variables”, 第二个为 “ travel to greater depths”, 第三个为“monitor seasonal ice zones”。理清楚句子结构后发现考点为 “and” 连接三个并列的谓语成分，即 “A, B, and C”。故该题选B。
敲黑板：再次强调一遍！除了考查标点符号，还会考查and前后所连接成分的形式一致！
以上就是与并列连词“AND”有关的主要考点啦，TD SAT教研组还会继续给同学们介绍“FANBOYS”中其它成员的用法。咱们下期见！
