若何備考sat,面臨改造後的新sat考生又該若何備考?下面咱們一路來看看小編為眾人整頓的這篇新sat備考名家指點。
sat在全部測驗中改變最為激烈的是語文部門的寫作關鍵。
起首,寫作單項已與瀏覽單項歸並,成為新sat測驗中的新型組合-例證剖析性瀏覽寫作。
其次,CollegeBoard 撤消了以往題型中的單句糾錯題,而改革後的題型均以段落情勢出現,標題相同當前25分鐘寫作部門的末端模式。
另有許多標題,對已加入過老sat或最少立時預備加入測驗的同窗來講,不會顯得異常生疏,比方:一些題目會觸及考核若何從語法角度改良段落中劃線部門的句子,或若何挪動某一個單句是其發生順暢的遷移轉變後果。不管若何,許多標題都邑考核門生對全新觀點的懂得。
就此,我會針對一些可以或許清楚展示全新sat與以往sat 之間懸殊的風趣案例,為您指導迷津,娓娓道來。
#1: The transportation planner’s job, might involve conducting a traffic count to determine the daily number of vehicles traveling on the road to the new factory.
A: NOCHANGE
B: planner’s job
C: planners job,
D: planners job
在新sat中,有許多標題是為考核標點而計劃的,而這一點在現行sat中卻從未湧現。就這道題而言,考生須要明確是不是應當應用所屬形容詞與逗號。
Transportation planners work closely with anumber of community stakeholders, such as government officials and other interested organizations and individuals. Next, representatives from the local public health department might provide input in designing a network of trails and sidewalks to encourage people to walk more. [#2] According to the American Heart Association, walking provides numerous benefits related to health and well-being. Members of the Chamber of Commerce might share suggestions about designing transportation and parking facilities to support local businesses.
#2: The writer is considering deleting the underlined sentence. Should the sentence be kept or deleted?
A: Kept, because it provides supporting evidence about the benefits of walking.
B: Kept, because it provides an additional example of a community stakeholder with whom transportation planners work.
C: Deleted, because it blurs the paragraph’s focus on the community stake holders with whom transportation planners work.
D: Deleted, because it doesn’t provide specific examples of what the numerous benefits of walking are.
在現行sat中,考生只需做出斷定依據語義若何填放一個單句或直接將其刪除,而且在標題選項中已給出響應計劃(好比將其放在句3後,或句6前面等等,或經由過程從5 擇1來決議刪除哪個)。
但在新sat中,考生不但要曉得是不是要刪除一個句子,更主要的是明確為何。固然,在現行的測驗中門生確切也要斟酌為什麽選取句3來調換句5,但新sat測驗更偏向於直接考核門生為什麽所選語句會影響或偏離團體文章宗旨。
懂得若何精確答復這一題目一樣也是項很主要的寫作技巧,由於等考生步入大學,傳授一樣會考核他們是不是可以或許清楚有用地完成一項學術論文寫作,而且可以或許做到精確、扣題,那末這項技巧就顯得非分特別主要。
Transportation planners perform critical work within the broader field of urban and regional planning. As of 2010, there were approximately 40,300 urban and regional planners employed in the United States. The United States Bureau ofLabor Statistics forecasts steady job growth in this field, [#3] projecting that 16 percent of new jobs in all occupations will be related to urban and regional planning. Population growth and concerns about environmental sustainability are expected to spur the need for transportation planning professionals.
#3: Which choice completes the sentence with accurate data based onthe graph?
A: NOCHANGE
B: warning, however, that job growth in urban and regional planning will slow to 14 percent by 2020.
C: predicting that employment of urban and regional planners will increase 16 percent between 2010 and 2020.
D: indicating that 14 to 18 percent of urban and regional planning positions will remain unfilled.
在新sat中,數學部門減去了對圖表題的自力掌握,換言之,瀏覽與寫作部門頗有大概觸及到圖表題。這部門標題基本不考核語法,而是考核門生可否解讀圖表並可以或許斷定哪個句子可以精確表達圖中信息的寄義。
#4: Kingman, however, vacated from that tradition in a number of ways, most notably in that he chose to focus not on natural landscapes, such as mountains and rivers, but on cities.
A: NOCHANGE
B: evacuated
C: departed
D: retired
在這道題中,它考核的是門生是不是可以或許真正明確若何應用一個詞語,毫不是看一個門生對其說明的影象才能。這就有點像對當前輕易湧現的毛病選詞舉行的一系列的修改。
這些標題會很“刁鉆”,由於就單詞自己長相而言,拼寫差異甚微,一不留心就很輕易混雜或誤會,好比句子中湧現”principle”一詞之處現實上應當用”principal”,或collaborate 一詞與corroborate之間的差異。像如下這些單詞vacated(騰出), evacuated(分散), departed(離開), 和 retired(退休)等等;這些詞都有一種寄義,即分開的意思。
那末僅僅只曉得這些詞的界說對付解這道題來講是沒有任何贊助的。門生們必需明確,在傳統英語中,vacate表現清空一棟樓,或讓進場址的意思;而evacuate則表現在緊迫情形下分散人群,那末retire則表現從某一職業中解雇的意思;而depart卻有離開傳統的意思(或偶然咱們說在3點鐘分開北京,也可用這個詞)。
這是為何呢?由於英語便是如許!(就像平常College Board經典的解釋:假如那樣用這個詞,就會顯得很怪而且很不相符常理….如奈何和)
是以,一個門生如果能控制若何準確應用英語,永久都顯得比只記得某個單詞的界說或語法征象要主要的多!
His fine brushwork conveys detailed street-level activity: a peanut vendor pushinghis cart on the sidewalk, a pigeon pecking for crumbs around a fire hydrant, an old man tending to a baby outside a doorway. His broader brush strokes and sponge-painted shapes create majestic city skylines, with skyscrapers towering in the background, bridges connecting neighborhoods on either side of a river, and [#20] delicately painted creatures, such as a tiny, barely visible catprowling in the bushes of a park.To art critics and fans alike, these city scenes represent the innovativespirit of twentieth-century urban Modernism.
#5: Which choice most effectively establishes the main topic of the paragraph?
A: Kingman is considered a pioneer of the California Style school of painting.
B: Although cities were his main subject, Kingman did occasionally paint naturall and scapes.
C: Inhis urban landscapes, Kingman captures the vibrancy of crowded cities.
D: In1929 Kingman moved to Oakland, California, where he attended the Fox ArtSchool.
只管這道題不是瑰異地難,但它恰好涵蓋了一個門生在自力寫作時須要控制的一個常識點:從文章中挑出一個宗旨句。
如許,批評性瀏覽與自力寫作技能就互相融會了:門生必需讀懂文章然後找出宗旨段,然後再從選項中找出一個可以或許扣題的中間句作為佳選。
#6: The writer wants to complete the sentence with a third example of a detail Kingman uses to create his majestic city skylines. Which choice best accomplishes this goal?
A: NOCHANGE
B: exquisitely lettered street and storefront signs.
C: other details that help define Kingman’s urban landscapes.
D: enormous ships docking at busy urban ports.
這道題有點意思,照樣由於它跨過了語法本在考寫作技能。考生不能不斟酌作者的寫作目的和若何能實現這個目的。
在這類情形下,考生必需將”majestic”一詞解讀出巨大,雄偉或壯觀的意思(由於文中已給出兩個例子:“摩天大樓”與“大橋”二詞)。那末如許來看,D選項中“那些停靠在都會忙碌口岸的巨輪”為絕佳選項。
#7: The writer wants to conclude the passage with asentence that emphasizes an enduring legacy of Kingman’s work. Which choicewould best accomplish this goal?
A: Although Kingman’s work might not be as famous as that of some other water color painters, such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Edward Hopper, it is well regarded bymany people.
B: Since Kingman’s death in 2000, museums across the United States and in Chinahave continued to ensure that his now-iconic landscapes remain available forthe public to enjoy.
C: The urban landscapes depicted in Kingman’s body of work are a testament to aptness of the name chosen for Kingman when he was just a boy.
D: Kingman’s work was but one example of a long-lasting tradition refreshed by an innovative artist with a new perspective.
像第22題,這道標題便是為考生設立一個詳細目的,然後考核考生若何用最佳的才能來實現它。
此次,咱們須要一個歸納綜合句來誇大“an enduring legacy of Kingman’s work”的寄義。與此同時 ,咱們還要留意語句中暗含的意思,然後再一一排查選項。最主要的一點,這道題考核門生的有用寫作才能。並且,選項中的謎底並不是都很低劣,最少沒有一個是跑題的。
但A與D對作者的原意有些輕描淡寫(“might not be as famous...” and“but one example…”),而C的落腳點偏離了原文(“aptness of the name” rather than enduring legacy)。B項則誇大了Kingman身後留在博物館中的遺產,因此這是準確選項。看來,若何從說話筆墨的深處發掘筆者的立場或目標,或攜帶作者的立場來精確行文,這些都是全部門生在進步有用寫作方面的一項焦點說話技巧。
全新sat將於2016年3月正式出爐面向天下。但鑒於環球3月沒有設立國際sat測驗日期的究竟,中國考生將於2016年5月加入第一輪全新sat 測驗。但今朝高一的同窗會在2015年秋天以加入Psat的情勢“嘗鮮”,由於Psat將以全新情勢出現。
College Board會隨其互助火伴Khan Academy一同在本年5月為眾人在網上供給更多的免費測試標題。
那末,當下的咱們應如何能力嚴陣以待,歡迎挑釁呢?
起首,第一步便是要盡心盡力進步本身的英語(語文)程度。個中,COLLEGE BOARD之以是將sat洗面革心並加浩劫度的緣故原由之一便是為了襲擊那些所謂空口說無用的應試技能手腕和那些所謂急功近利的應試捷徑,比方狂記一些看上去嵬峨上卻難明艱澀的辭匯,大概憑靠一些獨特的語法規矩來破題。
綜上所述,新型sat考核的更是一個門生對英語應用習氣的控制,並不是對規矩的影象,包含對選詞行文的思慮、對作者用意或隱含立場的體會,和若何應用批評式瀏覽的思惟來舉行有用寫作。僅僅懂得部門零碎的語法常識或辭匯是沒法實現真正體會說話的搭配習氣或詞語的深入寄義的。
別的,新sat 還包括了很多以體裁情勢出現的瀏覽與寫作標題,和在數學標題中湧現的詞語題目。那些日常平凡在語文方面有艱苦的同窗要比那些語文水平較好的同窗,在測驗時更易湧現影象力不會合乃至身材透支等情形(如斯甚大的瀏覽量對英語母語人士也是相稱大的挑釁)。是以,僅依附於測驗技能就想“混過”sat的這類設法主意確定是相稱不靠譜的。
就新sat的備戰計劃而言,最佳的方法是手不釋卷。開卷有利(固然指用英語)--- 也不必定非得是長篇小說。究竟上,你會發明,在新sat中湧現的文章大多半都不是你在小說中會面到的語句,而是來自雜誌或報紙方面的體裁,好比New York Times, New Yorker, 或 Scientific American,乃至 Economist。瀏覽方面,與數目比擬,更講求質量。咱們說,一個門生,他可以或許做到有用通讀20篇文章而且從中透析一些本身以前拿禁絕的語句,如許要比一個門生走馬觀花橫掃2000篇文章或輕率讀完20篇小說有效的多。
話說返來,咱們的初誌並非為了襲擊非英語母語人士的踴躍性,更不是為了讓這些考生覺得停辛貯苦,終極倍感失望。實在,換個角度,新sat已有許多處所化繁為簡。全部選項數量均已從本來的5個變成更新後的4個,而且測驗遵守錯答零處分原則。考生再也不為本身的寫作想不出例子而憂?(現行的測驗及第例可選的,而且要剖析一段引證)。
更主要的是,考生今後無需再影象那些平生中也用不到的艱澀sat詞。相反,真正讓新sat變難之處在於,全部測驗中湧現超多瀏覽,同時跟著瀏覽難度的增大,測驗對考生的英語流暢度請求也會天然升高,這些恰好又回到了新sat的實質---College Board更願望把眼光投射在這一進程:經由過程該測驗,可以考核門生是不是具有當下科技成長所需的配景常識,和他們往後可否在大學平生獲得驕人的造詣。
同時,在瀏覽海量文章的同時可以或許做到堅持腦筋專註蘇醒,和在有用寫作時可否做到取譬引喻、引經據典,且能用英語作答如流;這些都是往後每一名門生在進入外洋大學後必備的學術進修才能。
在大學時代,沒人會在乎你記著若幹八怪七喇的sat辭匯,更不會有傳授由於你犯下的一個小小的語法毛病而與你交惡構怨或對你的才能表現鄙視不屑。(好比你誤用了一個隱約觀點的this, 那這個this會引發歧義)。
記著,奮戰在新sat一線的同窗們,比擬你們的學哥學姐,我信任你們必定會軼群越輩,出類拔萃!加油吧!
