2013年10月SAT北美题Section10-1
When Ross Swimmer moved to Washington to head the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Wilma Mankiller has become the first woman to serve as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation.
(A) Wilma Mankiller has become
(B) Wilma Mankiller became
(C) Wilma Mankiller becomes
(D) Wilma Mankiller, who thenbecame
(E) it was Wilma Mankiller who will become
答案: B
解析: 本句逗号前面的半句是状语从句，时态为一般过去时，根据句意，主句和从句所述之事是同时发生的，时态应该一致，后面的主句也应该是一般过去时；AC选项为一般现在时，错误；D选项使句子缺谓语动词且不完整；E选项为强调句，但是时态错误。故选B。
2013年10月SAT北美题Section10-2
Residents complained about recently announced plans constructing a new airport near the city limits, fearing noise pollution from jet engines.
(A) plans constructing
(B) plans for the constructing
(C) plans for the constructionof
(D) plans that the constructionof
(E) plans, which construct
答案: C
解析: 现在分词constructing前面没有逗号直接修饰离其最近的名词即plans，而plans不可能自己去construct a new airport，所以原句错误。同理E错误。C选项介词for表示计划的目的及对象，正确。B选项for doing sth，the错误。
