SAT閱讀500-590分技能要求及學(xué)習(xí)建議

大多數(shù)同學(xué)在剛剛接觸SAT時(shí)，閱讀部分基本集中在400-490分這個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù)段，如何讓閱讀部分的分?jǐn)?shù)在此基礎(chǔ)上有所提升，達(dá)到500+，SAT官方做出了如下解讀。

SKILL 1: Identify an author’s purpose for writing, literary devices, rhetorical purpose and tone.

解讀：

“能夠讀出作者的寫(xiě)作意圖，識(shí)別作者在文章中所用的修辭手法以及修辭手法的作用，判斷作者的態(tài)度語(yǔ)氣。”

Suggestions for Improvement:

提高建議：

1. When reading a text, consider the author’s tone. Look for specific words and phrases that make the text sound humorous, angry, earnest or objective. Consider why the author has chosen to use this tone.

解讀：

“閱讀文章時(shí)，思考作者的語(yǔ)氣。閱讀過(guò)程中尋找能夠體現(xiàn)幽默、生氣、熱心、客觀類的詞及短語(yǔ)。思考作者為什么使用這種語(yǔ)氣。”

在閱讀部分，每一次考試都會(huì)涉及到這部分考點(diǎn)，具體體現(xiàn)為態(tài)度題，每次考試大約考查4題左右。在做態(tài)度題時(shí)，掌握好態(tài)度類詞匯是基本要求，具體做題時(shí)，應(yīng)根據(jù)文章中體現(xiàn)態(tài)度的形容詞和副詞判斷作者的態(tài)度語(yǔ)氣。

舉例分析：

Why is Venus so unlike Earth? The answer can only lie in its lesser distance from the Sun.

The tone of the statement in line 1("The answer... Sun") is best described as

(A) amused

(B) regretful

(C) guarded

(D) skeptical

(E) decisive

【答案】E

【解析】題目問(wèn)的是第1行的語(yǔ)氣。第1行行意為：為什么金星和地球如此不相像?答案只存在于它和太陽(yáng)之間更近的距離。在定位點(diǎn)中，出現(xiàn)了only這一非�？隙ǖ恼Z(yǔ)氣，所以選E，確定的。

【成功案例】
1、張同學(xué)，已經(jīng)考了N次托�？荚�，成績(jī)均不理想。沒(méi)有達(dá)到美國(guó)理想大學(xué)的最低錄取標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。尤其是聽(tīng)力這一塊是軟肋。經(jīng)過(guò)悉心了解情況，設(shè)計(jì)了一套聽(tīng)說(shuō)讀寫(xiě)全方略的學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃，并著重提高學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的興趣和效率，最后一次托�？荚嚦煽�(jī)已經(jīng)達(dá)到了100多分的好成績(jī)。   2、劉同學(xué)：參加過(guò)slep考試，但是后來(lái)想向托福發(fā)起進(jìn)攻，雖然時(shí)間比較緊，我們通過(guò)近乎嚴(yán)苛的要求，最后一戰(zhàn)托福就拿到了90分的好成績(jī)，其中我所負(fù)責(zé)的閱讀部分成績(jī)進(jìn)步尤為顯著。

2. When reading a text, think about how the author uses rhetoric. For whom is the author is writing? Identify how he or she hooks the readers’ interest, and how the author tries to make himself or herself believable. Consider how the author uses evidence to support his or her point.

解讀：

“閱讀文章時(shí)，思考作者為何使用修辭。作者為誰(shuí)而寫(xiě)這篇文章?判斷作者是如何抓住讀者興趣的，作者如何讓自己變得可信。并且思考作者如何使用事例來(lái)支持自己的觀點(diǎn)。”

這部分具體體現(xiàn)為例子題，為了使表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)更具說(shuō)服力，作者會(huì)通過(guò)一些具體的例子來(lái)作為佐證。

舉例分析：

In general, there is no intrinsic reason why one word stays alive and others get consigned to the scrap heap of linguistic history, but slang terms, like fashion designs, are rarely "in" for long. The jury is still out on how long "def" and "phat" will survive.

In line 2, "fashion designs" serve as an example of something

(A) exotic

(B) provocative

(C) ephemeral

(D) pretentious

(E) esoteric

【答案】C

【解析】"fashion designs"所在的定位點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)了舉例詞like,所以例子所在的這句話就可以提供觀點(diǎn)了。例子所在的這句話出現(xiàn)了轉(zhuǎn)折詞but，而定位點(diǎn)在but之后，因而，主要閱讀轉(zhuǎn)折之后的內(nèi)容，即：但是，像fashion designs這樣的俚語(yǔ)很少流行很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。所以選擇C項(xiàng)，短暫的。

3. When reading a longer text, pick one paragraph and carefully analyze the vocabulary, sentence structures and devices in it. Think about how an author uses language to achieve a purpose in just a short section of text.

解讀：

“閱讀一篇較長(zhǎng)的文章時(shí)，仔細(xì)分析段落中的詞匯意思，句子結(jié)構(gòu)以及寫(xiě)作策略。思考作者如何使用語(yǔ)言來(lái)表達(dá)寫(xiě)作目的的。”

這部分是對(duì)于作者在段落中所使用的語(yǔ)言進(jìn)行的考查，具體體現(xiàn)為三種題型：詞匯題、詞匯作用題以及句子作用題，這三類題型都需要結(jié)合文章具體的語(yǔ)境作答。

舉例分析：

1.) While an entertainment-driven, celebrity-oriented society is not necessarily one that destroys all moral value, as some would have it, it is one in which the standard of value is whether something can grab and then hold the public's attention.

In line 3, "hold" most nearly means

(A) support

(B) maintain

(C) grasp

(D) prevent

(E) restrain

【答案】B

【解析】原文定位點(diǎn)中，hold所處的語(yǔ)境為“grab and then hold the public’s attention”，在這里要特別注意原文and后面的then，正是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)詞的存在，所以這道題不能完全按照and連接的同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)的方法來(lái)做，而要結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，看搭配，抓住然后保持公眾的注意力才是符合語(yǔ)境的意思，所以這道題應(yīng)該選B。

2.) When we finally met, in Africa and America, we were sometimes disappointed. Shadowy imaginings do not usually hold up in the light of real experience. We wondered if we hadn't been mistaken, if the kinship we could feel more than describe was really there, if the roots that had once bound us together had not already withered and died.

In context, "Shadowy" (line 1) primarily serves to suggest something

(A) unsubstantiated

(B) sinister

(C) secret

(D) gloomy

(E) concealed

【答案】A

【解析】題目問(wèn)的是“Shadowy”的作用是說(shuō)明什么的。根據(jù)這類題型的解題方式，回原文看Shadowy這個(gè)詞所在的句子，這個(gè)句子的意思為：虛幻的形象并不是按照真實(shí)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)展現(xiàn)的。因此選A，沒(méi)有事實(shí)根據(jù)的。

3.) The first attempt to learn more about Venus was to analyze its upper atmosphere using spectroscopic methods. In size and mass, Venus is almost the equal of Earth, and its gravitational field is only slightly weaker than ours, so that logically it might be expected to have the same kind of atmosphere----but this is emphatically not so. Scientists found that the main constituent of its atmosphere is carbon dioxide.

The statement in lines 2-4 ("In size . . . so") functions primarily to

(A) summarize a particular experiment

(B) dismiss a plausible supposition

(C) mock an outrageous claim

(D) undermine a controversial hypothesis

(E) bolster an accepted opinion

【答案】B

【解析】這道題問(wèn)的是2—4行這句話的作用。這句話中，破折號(hào)之間交代了的是：由于在大小和質(zhì)量方面，金星和地球非常相似，并且，金星的引力場(chǎng)只比地球略輕一些，所以人們可能會(huì)認(rèn)為金星和地球有著相同的大氣層;這部分信息是根據(jù)條件(大小、質(zhì)量和引力場(chǎng)的相似性)推測(cè)出了一個(gè)結(jié)論(大氣層相同)。破折號(hào)之后的內(nèi)容為轉(zhuǎn)折，即：但是實(shí)際的情況并不是這樣，這個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折將之前的推測(cè)推翻了，所以選B。

4. When reading a novel, short story or play, think about the author’s style. Consider what kind of language the author uses---- flowery language or straightforward language, for example. Think about how the style affects the text.

解讀：

“閱讀小說(shuō)、故事或劇本時(shí)，思考作者使用的語(yǔ)言，例如，是華麗的語(yǔ)言還是樸實(shí)的語(yǔ)言。并思考語(yǔ)言風(fēng)格對(duì)文章有何影響。”

這部分屬于文學(xué)體裁的考點(diǎn)，考查的是語(yǔ)言風(fēng)格。

5. When reading a text, look for literary devices such as symbolism and irony.

解讀：

“閱讀文章時(shí)，尋找修辭，如象征手法或反語(yǔ)。”

SKILL 2: Perform multiple steps of reasoning and make multiple, layered inferences.

解讀：

“進(jìn)行多步驟的邏輯分析，進(jìn)行多層次推斷。”

Suggestions for Improvement:

提高建議：

1. After reading a text and determining how the author feels about a certain topic, consider how he or she would fell about a related argument. Think about how someone with an opposing viewpoint would respond to the text, and how the author would respond to an opposing argument.

解讀：

“在讀完文章并確定作者對(duì)于主題的感受之后，思考作者會(huì)如何考慮相關(guān)的話題。思考持有相反觀點(diǎn)的人會(huì)如何回應(yīng)文章，以及作者會(huì)如何回應(yīng)相反的觀點(diǎn)。”

這部分考查的是對(duì)文章中出現(xiàn)的觀點(diǎn)的正反兩方面的理解，具體體現(xiàn)為兩類題型：支持題和反駁題。

舉例分析：

1.) In 1790, one Victorian man’s mother had confidently joined in the family auctioneering business, but the increased division of the sexes had seen the withdrawal of women from business life.

Which of the following statement would most directly support the view described in the sentence ?

(A) Women wrote more novels in the early nineteenth century than they did in the early eighteenth century.

(B) Seventeenth-century women workers could raise their status by assuming greater responsibilities.

(C) The practice of married couples jointly running businesses died out in the early nineteenth century.

(D) In the seventeenth century, formal academic institutions were closed to women.

(E) Women and girls worked in factories throughout the nineteenth century.

【答案】C。

【解析】原文給出的觀點(diǎn)是：1790年，女性因?yàn)樾詣e歧視的現(xiàn)象而退出了商業(yè)。題干需要我們找一個(gè)選項(xiàng)來(lái)支持這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，所以C選項(xiàng)：已婚夫婦共同創(chuàng)業(yè)在19世紀(jì)早期消失了。這個(gè)選項(xiàng)中的已婚夫婦的例子能夠用來(lái)支持原文觀點(diǎn)正確。

2.) Scientists originally thought that the purpose of yawning was to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood or to release some accumulated carbon dioxide.

Which of the following, if true, would most directly disprove what "Scientists originally thought" ?

(A) People often yawn more after exercise, when carbon dioxide levels in the blood are marginally higher.

(B) Because yawning brings more air into the lungs, it can increase the rate at which oxygen is absorbed.

(C) Carbon dioxide does not affect people's breathing rates.

(D) People do not tend to yawn much at high altitudes, where oxygen levels in the air are low.

(E) Yawning does not reduce the need for sleep though it may make a person feel less tired.

【答案】D。

【解析】原文給出的觀點(diǎn)是：科學(xué)家們最初認(rèn)為，打哈欠的目的是提升血液中氧氣的含量或者降低二氧化碳的含量。題干要求選擇一個(gè)反駁原文的選項(xiàng)，因此正確選項(xiàng)可以認(rèn)為是降低氧氣含量或者提升二氧化碳，所以這題選D，在氧氣量本來(lái)就低的高海拔地區(qū)，人們不打哈欠，說(shuō)明血液中的氧氣含量更低了。

2. When reading a longer text, notice how the author develops an idea. Think about how the idea is introduced and how the idea is developed throughout the text.

解讀：

“閱讀較長(zhǎng)的文章時(shí)，注意作者時(shí)如何展開(kāi)觀點(diǎn)的。思考作者是如何介紹觀點(diǎn)、在文章中如何發(fā)展觀點(diǎn)的。”

這部分是針對(duì)于作者的寫(xiě)作方法進(jìn)行的考查，考查的幾率不大，并不是每次考試都涉及。
