SAT Practice Test #7
P763——Section 2
语言选择的重要性
6. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer E :
Choice (E) is correct. Moraga is cited as an example of a writer who found it difficult to decide whether to write in English or in Spanish. The title of her book is half in English and half in Spanish, and her comment "I lack language" (line 3) reinforces her sense that there is no satisfactory resolution of her dilemma.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. The passage says that Hispanic American writers face problems in choosing a language to write in, but it says nothing about problems associated with getting works published after they have been written.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. Moraga is cited as a writer experiencing a problem frequently faced by Hispanic American writers. The passage is primarily concerned with this general problem, not with this particular writer and her achievements.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. According to the passage, the title of Moraga's book expresses the difficulty she perceives "in writing in one language when one has lived in another" (line 7-8). There is no suggestion by the author of the passage as to whether Moraga is regarded as being especially expressive as a writer.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. The passage does not say anything about new artistic approaches, nor does it suggest that Moraga's approach is a novel one. Rather, the point is that the difficulties Moraga has experienced in choosing a language are common to Hispanic American writers.

7. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer D :
Choice (D) is correct. The problem presented in the passage is that of "narrating personal experiences in one language when one has lived in another" (lines 7-8). Someone described as a Russian novelist living in the United States is likely to have lived much of his or her life in Russia, speaking Russian, and whatever insights such a person has are likely to be based, at least in part, on experiences in Russia. So the problem of a Russian novelist living in the United States who has difficulty expressing insights in American English is similar to the problem presented in the passage.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. While a Hispanic American living in a South American country might, like Moraga, feel some conflict between the use of Spanish and English, painters do not primarily employ the medium of language in their work, so this is not a close analogy. Further, there is no mention of bilingual writers' ability to sell their work.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. The problem experienced by the Cherokee columnist is how much background information needs to be supplied to make writings dealing with Native American cultures understandable to readers of national newspapers. This is a different problem from the one presented in the passage, which has to do with using a different language to write about experiences than the one used while living those experiences. A Cherokee columnist might also have this problem, but not as a result of making the assumption that most readers are unfamiliar with Native American cultures.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. The problem in the passage is that of using one language in daily life and then trying to write about one's experiences in a different language. An African American novelist is unlikely to be writing in a completely different language than the one spoken throughout life. Moreover, the historical past of African Americans is not something that a living African American novelist can have experienced.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :
Choice (E) is incorrect. Trying to write essays for two audiences with very different linguistic and cultural backgrounds poses a different sort of problem from that described in the passage.

8. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer B :
Choice (B) is correct. The author characterizes the movie in which HAL appears as a "masterpiece" (line 1) and describes the portrait of HAL as "finely honed" (line 3), or precise, which clearly expresses appreciation.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. The attitude toward the portrait of HAL and toward HAL's creators is one of admiration, not resentment, or ill will.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. There is no indication of any confusion or ambivalence on the part of the author toward the portrait of HAL that Clarke and Kubrick created. It is one of admiration and appreciation throughout.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. The author admires the portrait of HAL, but goes on to say that computers are in some ways even better now. So the author's attitude is not one of veneration or wonder, or awe.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :
Choice (E) is incorrect. There is no indication that the author is being sarcastic in admiring the depiction if HAL. Since the author is not ridiculing the portrait, the author's attitude toward the portrait of HAL is not derisive.
9
9. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer A :
Choice (A) is correct. In the last sentence, the author points out that besides being "vastly smaller and more portable than HAL" (line 10), today's computers use software interfaces that do not require the type of manual controls required for HAL; in this context, site mobility, and new software interfaces are clearly advantages.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. The last sentence makes it clear that the availability of software interfaces that make manual controls unnecessary is an aspect of the future that Clarke and Kubrick failed to envision.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. The "software interfaces" (line 11) referred to make it possible to use today's computers without the types of manual controls required to operate HAL. Such software interfaces were not envisioned by HAL's creators. Manual controls are presented as the only way—not one of many ways— that human beings could access computers like HAL.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. "Software" is referred to in the passage only in connection with the kind of software interfaces that make certain types of manual controls unnecessary. There is no mention of attempts to override software.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :
Choice (E) is incorrect. By referring to "software interfaces" (lines 11) and the manual controls that such software makes unnecessary, the author suggests that current computers are superior to HAL in certain respects. But nothing is either said or implied about whether current computers are inferior to HAL in their ability to simulate human intelligence and emotions

P764——Section 2
内战时期的妇女权利问题
10.ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer A :
Choice (A) is correct. In the beginning of the sentence in which the quotation from the Constitution occurs, women are contrasted with "indentured servants, slaves, and American Indians" (line 6). Women who did not belong to one of these other groups were classified by the Constitution as among "the whole number of free persons" (line 10). But for these other groups, who were not "free persons," the question of voting and being elected to public office was seen as an issue, whereas for women the issue did not even arise. The quotation from the Constitution emphasizes the internal inconsistency—of classifying women as equivalent to men in one respect and as being unequal to men in another respect.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. The quotation from the Constitution serves to emphasize that women were "free persons" in a very limited sense, not to demonstrate that women were free, while servants, slaves, and American Indians were not.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. The passage specifically says that women could not vote or "be elected to public office" (line 11-12). There is no suggestion that women could get around this restriction by being appointed rather than elected.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. According to the passage, equitable representation, required a reasonably accurate count of "the whole number of free persons" (line 10) in a state. The passage does suggest that there were many people who did not get counted because they were not classified as "free persons," but this is not the same as illustrating the difficulty "of achieving equitable representation."
Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :
Choice (E) is incorrect. The passage does not use the term "free citizen." The quotation is used in the course of making the point that women were regarded as "free persons" (line 10). Nothing in the passage suggests that someone could be a free person but not a free citizen.
11
11. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer E :
Choice (E) is correct. The passage says that "women in large numbers had been involved in political actions in the American Revolution" (lines 14-15), and goes on to mention “fund-raising, tea , and actions against profiteering merchants” as examples of ways women had found for "exerting influence on political events" (lines 17-18).
Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. The passage mentions “fund-raising, tea , and actions against profiteering merchants” as ways women had found for "exerting influence on political events" (lines 17-18). But exerting influence on events connected with the American Revolution is not the same as altering the course of the American Revolution.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. The activities mentioned in lines 18-19 are cited as examples of political activities undertaken by women in support of the American Revolution. There is no suggestion that the women involved saw these activities as protests against specifically male dominance as opposed to protests against British dominance in general. It is only later that the passage discusses ways women began to raise the issue of rights for women.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. There is no suggestion that “fund-raising, tea , and actions against profiteering merchants” were the only political activities available to women during the Revolutionary War period. In fact, the passage specifically mentions that women also engaged in protests "against various wartime atrocities" (line 23).
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. There is no reason to think that the political activities women engaged in were only those that directly affected their households. The passage also says that women engaged in protests against wartime atrocities (line 23) as well as in the activities cited in lines 18-19.
12
12. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer B :
Choice (B) is correct. The author begins the second paragraph by saying that "women in large numbers had been involved in political actions in the American Revolution" (lines 14-15). But the first list of political actions women engaged in during that period included tea , which were not something with which anyone favoring the British side would have been involved. So by going on to mention specifically "Loyalist women" as engaging in other political activities, the author shows that women's involvement in political activities was not restricted to those on one side but extended to women in general.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. As the parenthetical remark in line 20 explains, "Loyalist" was the term used for people in the American colonies who sided with the British in the American Revolution. The author mentions "Loyalist women" in line 20 to show that women on both sides of the conflict engaged in political activity. "Loyalists," whatever their position on property rights for women, would probably have been considered disloyal by those who supported the revolution.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. The author says that Loyalist women . . . argued for their property rights (lines 20-21). But in the next paragraph, Abigail Adams—who was on the other side—is discussed at some length as arguing for property rights for women. Nothing in the passage suggests that women on one side of the conflict were more vocal about their political views than women on the other side. In fact, the author's point is that women generally became more vocal about their political views during this period than they had been before.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. The author mentions tea and fund-raising before saying anything about the political activities of Loyalist women. The reference to tea and fund-raising strongly suggests that the women who engaged in these activities were women who supported the Revolution, not Loyalist women.
