一、正确的阅读步骤：Title-Assignment-Article
第一步毋庸置疑是读题目，通过题目可以对文章内容作一个基本定位。
第二步是读文章后面的方框，也叫assignment,里面会告诉我们本文的中心论点，这也是CB比较仁慈的一个地方。中心论点确定了，对内容理解上一般就不会跑偏，因为文中所有文字毫无疑问是为论点服务的。
第三步才是读正文，分析作者是如何展开及证明本人论点的。
正确的步骤有了，大方向定了，接下来具体的文本解读亦有技巧可寻。
二、 有效的信息提示：段首句，上下文，转折后
1.段首句
新sat的文章为议论文，在写作方面，大部分段落采用PEEL结构，具体对应如下：
P
Point
主题句
E
Evidence
论据使用
E
Explanation
解释分析
L
Link
结构作用
这种段落的特点是内容明确，段首句准确概括段落大意，帮助理解又节省时间。如：
The claims that plastic bags are worse for the environment than paper bags or cotton reusable bags are dubious at best. In fact, compared to paper bags, plastic grocery bags produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, require 70 percent less energy to make, generate 80 percent less waste, and utilize less than 4 percent of the amount of water needed to manufacture them. This makes sense because plastic bags are lighter and
take up less space than paper bags.
Reusable bags come with their own set of problems. They, too, have a larger carbon footprint than plastic bags. Even more disconcerting are the findings of several studies that plastic bag bans lead to increased health problems due to food contamination from bacteria that remain in the reusable bags. A November 2012 statistical analysis by University of Pennsylvania law professor Jonathan Klick and George Mason University law professor and economist Joshua D. Wright found that San Francisco's plastic bag ban in 2007 resulted in a subsequent spike in hospital emergency room visits due to E. coli, salmonella, and campylobacter-related intestinal infectious diseases. The authors conclude that the ban even accounts for several additional deaths in the city each year from such infections.(官方指南p204)
通过两个段落的首句即可知作者并不赞同塑料袋比纸袋更危害环境，并认为纸袋本身存在很多问题，观点非常明确。
2.上下文
除了PEEL结构之外，还有一种典型写法是整个段落都是论据，不加赘言，而在上下文(通常是是下文)进行分析解释，如：
All of this decline was playing out at a time when the U.S. was embroiled in two overseas wars, with hundreds of thousands of Americans deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was happening as domestic politics grappled with the merits and consequences of a global war on terror, as a Great Recession was blamed in part on global imbalances in savings, and as world leaders debated a global trade treaty and pacts aimed at addressing climate change. It unfolded as American workers heard increasingly that their wages and job security were under assault by competition from counterparts on the other side of oceans.
In short, news of the world is becoming palpably more relevant to the day-to-day experiences of American readers, and it is rapidly disappearing. (官方指南p184)
上述引文中第一段讲述了与美国人民密切相关的一些国际大事，很多同学读完后误以为这段话表达的含义是美国对国外新闻的专业报道下降是由这些事件造成的。事实上作者在下一段中进行了分析解读--美国对国外新闻的专业报道下降恰恰是发生在世界大事与国人生活息息相关之时。
