一提起新，很多同学和家长都有点担心：“新SAT阅读是不是变难了?”You could either watch it happen, or be part of it!接下来一起来看看今天SAT考试内容：提升SAT阅读水平要注重批判性思维与西式思维方式的培养
“To become college and career ready, students must grapple with works of exceptional craft and thought whose range extends across genres, cultures, and centuries. Such works offer profound insights into the human condition and serve as models for students’ own thinking and writing. Along with high-quality contemporary works, these texts should be chosen from among seminal U.S. documents, the classics of American literature, and the timeless dramas of Shakespeare. Through wide and deep reading of literature and literary nonfiction of steadily increasing sophistication, students gain a reservoir of literary and cultural knowledge, references, and images; the ability to evaluate intricate arguments; and the capacity to surmount the challenges posed by complex texts. ”

批判性思维与西式思维方式的培养
SAT阅读一向重视学生的批判性思维能力。而批判性思维需要满足：理智的怀疑和反思态度，形成合理判定的思维技能，具有准确性、清晰性、相关性、一致性和重要性等特征的思维品质。没有批判性思维，不管考生掌握多少词汇量，对SAT阅读文章的理解，仅仅停留在文章表面的水平，看不透文章，看不穿作者。更可怕的是，这类学生凭自己的海量词汇和大量的英语阅读，还误认为自己能读懂文章，自己对文章的理解是正确的。这样不仅会影响SAT考试成绩，而且还会影响大学的学习。
因此在平时的阅读训练中需要对文本的合理性给予判断,包括读懂观点提出的背景和问题情境,弄清作者的研究思路与方法,评判作者的研究立论成立的前提(assumption)和假设(hypothesis),推敲作者资料的完备性和科学性等.
