下面就是今天
1.Note the context of each passage: The evidence-based reading and writing section will draw some of its passages from historical documents. While the redesigned SAT will not require prior knowledge of these documents, familiarity with their content may help you complete the exam more accurately and more quickly.
注意每篇文章的内容。以证据为基础的阅读和写作部分会从历史文献中摘取文章，虽然新SAT考试并不是要求完全了解这些文献，但是熟悉文献内容可以更快更准确的完成考试。
The SAT’s goal is to assess how well you understand key elements of the passages. For example, in this sample question provided by the College Board, students are asked to make the subtle distinction between the common use of "parties," and the formal political associations we know as the Democratic and Republican parties.
SAT考试的目标是评估对文章段落的理解。例如，美国College Board提供的样题中，要求学生能够区别政党民主党和共和党之间的关系。
No high school student is expected to have deep knowledge of the passage’s source – it's an address by Congresswoman Barbara Jordan in 1974. However, some familiarity with the events, persons and terms cited in the selection can provide crucial context.
虽然不要求高中生对文章来源有很深的知识储备，但是熟悉文献中的历史事件、人物、术语对SAT阅读很重要。
After all, it would be difficult to answer this question if you were unable to define "impeachment" and "political parties," and if you knew nothing of Richard Nixon’s dismissal from office.
毕竟，如果你不能对定义“弹劾”和“政党”，如果你对理查德·尼克松下台一无所知，就很难回答问题。
2.Understand the link between questions: The redesigned SAT is notable for its follow-up questions. These questions require a test-taker to identify the precise text selection that supports his or her answer to the previous problem. In other words, you will be expected to provide evidence that supports your claims.
理解问题之间的联系。新SAT要求考生精确的找到文章中的句子来回答前面的问题，换句话说，就是找到支持你观点的论据。
This effectively raises the stakes when selecting your answers. For instance, your answer to one question, for example, "What does the author mean in lines 1 to 4?," will affect your response to the question "How do you know?"
例如，“第一行到第四行作者想要表达的是什么意思”就会影响“你是如何知道的”这一问题的答案。
3.Become familiar with charts and graphs: Another new emphasis on the SAT is reading and interpreting visual displays of data, some of which are scientific in nature. However, you will not need to know pages of scientific facts to be successful.
需要熟悉图表。新SAT注重图表数据的阅读和理解，这种图表通常是一些科学话题。这种题并不需要了解具体的科学知识。文章所提供的材料就完全足够了。
Overall, the new design of the SAT presents test-takers with significant new challenges, but it also provides excellent new opportunities. If you are planning to sit for the exam in 2016 or later, you can now focus on improving your textual analysis skills instead of memorizing vocabulary. These skills will help you throughout the entire test, including many portions of the math section.
总之，新SAT考试对考生们来说是一把双刃剑，既是机遇也是挑战。参加2016年以后SAT考试的同学们，从现在开始需要重点提高文章分析能力，而不是单纯的词汇记忆。这种技能可以在整个SAT考试中得到应用，包括数学部分的考试。
