今天小编为大家带来的就是sat阅读590能力要求及备考建议，希望对大家的sat阅读能力提升有所帮助，高分是每位考生的共同愿望，所以更需要注意倾听一些建议，今天带来的绝对对大家有用!
SKILL 1: Identify an author’s purpose for writing, literary devices, rhetorical purpose and tone.
名师解读：
“能够读出作者的写作意图，识别作者在文章中所用的修辞手法以及修辞手法的作用，判断作者的态度语气。”
Suggestions for Improvement:
提高建议：
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.
名师解读：
“阅读文章时，思考作者的语气。阅读过程中寻找能够体现幽默、生气、热心、客观类的词及短语。思考作者为什么使用这种语气。”
在阅读部分，每一次考试都会涉及到这部分考点，具体体现为态度题，每次考试 大约考查4题左右。在做态度题时，掌握好态度类词汇是基本要求，具体做题时，应根据文章中体现态度的形容词和副词判断作者的态度语气。
举例分析：
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】题目问的是第1行的语气。第1行行意为：为什么金星和地球如此不相像?答案只存在于它和太阳之间更近的距离。在定位点中，出现了only这一非常肯定的语气，所以选E，确定的。
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.
名师解读：
“阅读文章时，思考作者为何使用修辞。作者为谁而写这篇文章?判断作者是如何抓住读者兴趣的，作者如何让自己变得可信。并且思考作者如何使用事例来支持自己的观点。”
这部分具体体现为例子题，为了使表达的观点更具说服力，作者会通过一些具体的例子来作为佐证。
举例分析：
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"所在的定位点出现了举例词like,所以例子所在的这句话就可以提供观点了。例子所在的这句话出现了转折词but，而定位点在but之后，因而，主要阅读转折之后的内容，即：但是，像fashion designs这样的俚语很少流行很长时间。所以选择C项，短暂的。
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.
名师解读
“阅读一篇较长的文章时，仔细分析段落中的词汇意思，句子结构以及写作策略。思考作者如何使用语言来表达写作目的的。”
这部分是对于作者在段落中所使用的语言进行的考查，具体体现为三种题型：词汇题、词汇作用题以及句子作用题，这三类题型都需要结合文章具体的语境作答。
举例分析：
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】原文定位点中，hold所处的语境为“grab and then hold the public’s attention”，在这里要特别注意原文and后面的then，正是因为这个词的存在，所以这道题不能完全按照and连接的同义词复现的方法来做，而要结合语境，看搭配，抓住然后保持公众的注意力才是符合语境的意思，所以这道题应该选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】题目问的是“Shadowy”的作用是说明什么的。根据这类题型的解题方式，回原文看Shadowy这个词所在的句子，这个句子的意思为：虚幻的形象并不是按照真实的经验展现的。因此选A，没有事实根据的。
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】这道题问的是2—4行这句话的作用。这句话中，破折号之间交代了的是：由于在大小和质量方面，金星和地球非常相似，并且，金星的引力场只比地球略轻一些，所以人们可能会认为金星和地球有着相同的大气层;这部分信息是根据条件(大小、质量和引力场的相似性)推测出了一个结论(大气层相同)。破折号之后的内容为转折，即：但是实际的情况并不是这样，这个转折将之前的推测推翻了，所以选B。
