1. 先播送一下各方面的关于新SAT难易讨论的消息
新SAT首考之后,不管是北美考区还是亚洲考区,大部分同学都表示阅读更加简单:
北美首考后CB做了一个8000人的考生调查,其中75%的同学认为新阅读比他们想象的要简单;
亚洲首考后KAPLAN又做了一个考生调查,其中60%的考生认为题目不绕弯子且很好上手。

2. 阅读部分是如何对文本信息进行考查的?
(1)你的暂时记忆力有多好?没错,抠的就是细节。
1)直接信息题(Explicit Meaning),该类题型能够直接从文本中找到信息,题目中通常出现如下字眼“According to the passage," "states," "indicates,"等。如:The authors indicate that people value gift-giving because they feel it...?
2)隐含信息题 (Implicit Meaning),该类题型需要理解文本的隐含意思,题目中通常出现如下字眼 “based on the passage,” "it can reasonably be inferred," "implies," 等。如: Based on the passage, the author's statement "..." implies that...?
3)类比题(Analogy),考察对文本内容特征的把握及应用,如“Which of the following situations is most analogous to the relationship mentioned in line 5 to 10?
(2)你的逻辑思维有多强?嗯,有理必有据。
循证题(Citing Textual Evidence),要求为上一题的答案寻找论据或者为某个结论提供论据。
如: Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question? (寻找上一题答案论据),或者 In lines 46-50("Prosecutions...sens"), what is the most likely reason Jordan draws a distinction between two types of "parties"? (为某个结论提供论据)
循证题是对文本论据的考察,在每个篇章中会出现两题,共10题。
(3)你的语文能力有多棒?(总结概括是基本功)
1)中心思想/主旨题 (Central Idea/ Theme),是对整篇文章的主旨或段落中心思想的考察。如: The central claim of the passage is that...? (对整篇文章主旨的考察),或者 The central idea of the fourth paragraph (line 35-57) is that...? (对段落中心思想的考察);
2)小结题(Summary),对整篇文章或段落的小结,如:Which choice best summarizes the passage?
3)关系题(Relationship),考察人物,事件,观点之间的因果,对比,递进等关系,如:Which choice best describes the relationship between neurons and celebrities?
4)单词/词组释义题 (Interpreting Words and Phrases in Context),顾名思义,即是对单词、词组意思的考察。如:As used in line 10, "intense" most nearly means...?
(4)你的赏析能力有多好?作者哪里写得好必须看出来
1)单词/词组/句子功能题(Analyzing Word Choice), 包括使用目的,作用和效果。如:Woolf uses the word "we" throughout the passage mainly to...?
2)文本结构题(Analyzing Text Structure),对文本总体结构的考察或对部分内容与整篇文章的关系的考察。如:Over the course of the passage, the main focus of the narrative shifts from the ... to...?

5)论证题 (Analyzing Arguments),对作者在论证过程中的论点,反论点,论证方式和论据的考察。题目中通常出现 “claim”, “counterclaim”, “reason”, “evidence”等字眼。如:A student claims that nitrogenous bases pair randomly with one another. Which of the following statements in the passage contradicts the student's claim?
(5)你的应变能力是个什么层次?
双篇题(Analyzing Multiple Questions)通常分为取同,取异,互联题。
1)取同题 ,对两篇文章的相同点的考察。如:The crows in Passage 1 and the ravens in Passage 2 shared which trait?
2)取异题,对两篇文章的不同点的考察。如:One difference between the experiments described in the two passages is that unlike the researchers discussed in Passage 1, the author of Passage 2...?
3)互联题,对两篇文章的相关性的考察。如:Is the main conclusion presented by the author of Passage 2 consistent with Morgan's canon, as described in Passage 1?
以上三种题型皆涉及到对双篇文章的分析。
