based on the following passage.The Ambassadors:A Meditation on Mortality The Ambassadors,a painting by 16th century Dutch artist Hans Holbein the Younger,is an impressive example of Northern Renaissance portraiture.The painting depicts two elegantly dressed men,(1)although their fine robes and jewelry indicating their wealth and worldliness.Below the two ambassadors looms a strange figure.At first glance,it appears to be an odd,abstract shape,slashing across the lower third of the canvas like a specter.When seen from another angle,however,a surprising image appears:viewed from the right side,the strange shape is revealed to be a grinning skull.(2)The earliest known anamorphic work is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.During the late 15th century,Da Vinci and other Renaissance artists were interested in exploring the rules of visual perspective;they used anamorphosis as a means to develop their understanding of perspective and to showcase their technical proficiency.Holbein,on the other hand,used anamorphosis to achieve more sophisticated artistic and intellectual goals.While the anamorphic paintings of earlier artists were little more than impressive tricks of perspective,The Ambassadors employs anamorphosis to make a more complex statement.新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic Tests Upon viewing the painting from the front,(3)the confident ambassadors are seen by the careful observer standing amongst symbols of prosperity,above the hazy and abstract anamorphic image.But as the viewer begins to examine Holbeins painting more closely,several surprising details fall into sharp relief:the string on the prominently displayed lute is(4)broken;the faces of the sundial appear not to match;and the globe is tipped upside-down,though several regions are labeled right-side up.As the observer moves to the right-hand side of the painting,the only clearly recognizable shape becomes the anamorphic skull.(5)Its Holbeins reminder that the wealth and worldly knowledge of the ambassadors will not protect them from their ultimate fateone which no human can avoid.新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic TestsQuestion 1:The painting depicts two elegantly dressed men,(1)although their fine robes and jewelry indicating their wealth and worldliness.A)NO CHANGEB)their fine robes and jewelry indicatingC)while their fine robes and jewelry indicateD)meaning their fine robes and jewelry indicate解析：考查状语的形式。原句中用到了连词although,但although后面一般必须跟从句，这里的indicating并非谓语形式，所以划线部分不是从句，不符合语法规则；且这里句子前后两部分并不构成让步或是转折关系，连词although用得也不准确。修改时可以直接去掉连词although，变成独立主格结构作状语。整句话的意思是：这幅油画描绘了两位穿着优雅的男士，他们精致的长袍和配饰表明了他们的财富和世俗的地位。正确答案选择B。新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic

appears:viewed from the right side,the strange shape is revealed to be a grinning skull.(2)The earliest known anamorphic work is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.Which choice provides the best transition between the first and second paragraphs?A)This striking and morbid secret image is an example of a painting technique called anamorphosis.B)Unbeknownst to most viewers,the skull represents the ultimate fate and mortality of all men.C)However,a century earlier,Leonardo da Vinci began experimenting with perspective in a similar manner.D)Figures such as this one can be constructed using a mirror to transform flat,two-dimensional images into distorted,three-dimensional ones.新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic Tests解析：插入句子题。题干要求选择一个过渡句，以起到承上启下的作用。前文提到画面中奇怪的物体，初看时只是一个辨不清楚的抽象的形状，换个角度仔细看却发现是一个骷髅头骨；下文提到最早被人所知的变形透视作品(anamorphic work)是由达芬奇创作的。由此可见，中间需要一个对于何为“变形透视（anamorphosis）”的解释。四个选项中，只有A提到了anamorphosis，所以A是正确答案。新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic TestsQuestion 3:Upon viewing the painting from the front,(3)the confident ambassadors are seen by the careful observer standing amongst symbols of prosperity,above the hazy and abstract anamorphic image.A)NO CHANGEB)symbols of prosperity are seen by the careful observer amongst the confident ambassadors,C)amongst the confident ambassadors,symbols of prosperity are seen by the careful observer,D)the careful observer sees the confident ambassadors standing amongst symbols of prosperity,解析：本题的关键不在划线部分本身，而在上文的“Upon viewing the painting from the front”这个时间状语上。这里的非谓语动词viewing的逻辑主语应与主句的主语保持一致，原文中主句的主语是the confident ambassadors，显然不能成为viewing的逻辑主语，而选项B和C的主语都是symbols，也不对，只有选项D的主语the careful observer可作viewing的逻辑主语，因此答案选择D。新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic TestsQuestion 4:But as the viewer begins to examine Holbeins painting more closely,several surprising details fall into sharp relief:the string on the prominently displayed lute is(4)broken;the faces of the sundial appear not to match;and the globe is tipped upside-down,though several regions are labeled right-side up.A)NO CHANGEB)broken;the faces of the sundial appear not to match;and the globe is tipped upside-down;thoughC)broken;the faces of the sundial appear not to match,and the globe is tipped upside-down,thoughD)broken,the faces of the sundial appear not to match;and the globe is tipped upside-down,though解析：考查句子中间标点的运用。这里列举了几个表现油画主题的细节：诗琴的琴弦是断的；日晷的指示和实际并不相符；还有地球仪被放置颠倒了，虽然右上方的某些区域被做上了标记。这里有三个并列的分句，所以中间由两个分号隔开。前两个分句都是简单句，最后一个分句是一个含有让步状语从句的复合句，所以主句与从句之间由逗号隔开。因此原文的标点是正确的，答案选A。新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic TestsQuestion 5:As the observer moves to the right-hand side of the painting,the only clearly recognizable shape becomes the anamorphic skull.(5)Its Holbeins reminder that the wealth and worldly knowledge of the ambassadors will not protect them from their ultimate fateone which no human can avoid.A)NO CHANGEB)ItsC)TheyreD)Their解析：考察代词的选择。这里想表达“它”是霍尔本因对人们的提醒，大使们的财富和知识并不能让他们摆脱最终死亡的命运。“它”指的是前文的扭曲的骷髅头（anamorphic skull），因此答案应该选择B。新新SATSAT语法练习详解语法练习详解Diagnostic Tests长难句赏析While the anamorphic paintings of earlier artists were little more than impressive tricks of perspective,The The Ambassadors Ambassadors employs anamorphosis to make a more complex statement.当其他早期的变形透视派画家仅仅将这种技术作为吸引眼球的透视技巧运用时，大使们却将变形透视用于表达更加复杂的寓意。Its Holbeins reminder that the wealth and worldly knowledge of the ambassadors will not protect them from their ultimate fateone which no human can avoid.它是霍尔本因对人们的提醒：大使们所拥有的财富和对世俗的了解并不能保护他们免于最终的命运没有任何人能躲掉的命运。
