SAT完成句子题目是在一个句子中,抠掉1或2个词(词组),给出5个选项,根据给出的句子部分,选择最合适的填入,主要考察词汇量。
SAT填空题着重考察的是考生词汇量,以及在相对复杂的场景中理解单词的能力。其中包括两种题型,即词汇题(vocabulary-in-context)和逻辑题(logic-based)。以下我们各举一个例子来说明。
SAT填空题的题目类型Type of Questions:
vocabulary-in-context
¨ How the words are used in the context of the sentence
¨ The definitions of the words involved
logic-based
¨ The meaning of the words
¨ How the words are used in context
¨ Understand the logic of a rather complicated sentence
1.Vocabulary-in-Context Questions
e.g. Ravens appear to be have_______,actively helping one another to find food.
A.mysteriously
B.warily
C.aggressively
D.cooperatively
E.defensively
题目要求考生从选项中选出合适的单词,来描述ravens的行为。我们观察后可以发现,逗号后面的信息其实是对我们所要填入的单词进行解释和说明。
所以我们要寻找的单词应该包含“actively helping one another to find food”的含义。选项中D.cooperatively有互助、合作的意思,因此是正确答案。
2. Logic-Based Questions
e.g. After observing several vicious territorial fights, Jane Goodall had to revise her earlier opinion that these particular primates were always_______animals.
A. ignorant
B.inquisitive
C.responsive
D.cruel
E.peaceful
回答这样的问题,我们必须首先找到句子中的逻辑关系。
,Jane Goodall改变了她先前的看法。。根据这样的思路,我们可以把E.peaceful选择出来。
通过上面的两个例子,我们就可以看到SAT填空题的这两个类别正是SAT填空题的考察重点,大家在备考SAT填空的时候,从这两个角度入手,经过一段时间的练习之后就能掌握大部分的知识点和解答方法了。
