Sentence Equivalence
虽然我们常把Sentence Equivalence(句子平衡题)看作是Text Completion(填空题)的一种,但是不论是ETS官方的题型介绍还是Diagnostic Service(诊断性报告)中,都把句子平衡题作为一个独立的题型。
在考察重点和解题思路上,Sentence Equivalence与Text Completion还是略有差别的。句子平衡题要求考生在6个选项中选择2个填入题干的空格中,并且使句子的含义基本保持一致。这对考生从题干信息出发做出逻辑推理的能力和语言能力(准确掌握复杂的词义、正确的语法规则)都有要求。
官方说明如下:
When you have selected your pair of answer choices, check to make sure that each one produces a sentence that is logically, grammatically and stylistically coherent, and that the two sentences mean the same thing.
考生应确保选择的两个答案能够让句子在逻辑上、语法上、风格上和语义上都保持一致。
