ACT閱讀三類題型特點

　　ACT瀏覽部門的測驗時光為35分鐘，須要讀完4篇文章，每篇10道標題，共40題，下面是ACT瀏覽三類題型特色的具體先容，供考生參考。

　　就題材而言，ACT瀏覽資料分4類：小說(prose fiction)、社會科學(social sciences)、人文(humanities)、天然科學(natural sciences)。個中，小說來自英美作家作品的節選。社會科學取材於人類學、考古學、列傳、經濟、教導、地輿、汗青、政治、生理學等。人文類文章多觸及修建學、藝術、跳舞、片子、文學批評、列傳、音樂、漫筆、哲學、電視等。天然科學類一樣平常包含天文學、生物學、化學、地質學、醫學、物理學等方面的內容。

　　直接究竟題：

　　此類標題通常為就文中所供給的信息舉行直接發問，須要考生找到準確的對應處，並作同義轉換。

　　原文： “The revisionist interpretation, which I support, does not enshrine dinosaurs as paragons of intellect, but it does maintain that they were not small brained after all. They had the “right-sized” brains for reptiles of their body size.”

　　譯文：我所支撐的修改主義者的說明，便是不把恐龍視為智力的榜樣，然則也主意他們究竟不是小腦。對他們這類體態的爬蟲類來講，他們的腦的巨細恰好適合。

　　標題：According to the passage, what is the revisionist interpretation concerning the relationship between intelligence and physical size?

　　A. Dinosaurs actually had relatively large brains.

　　B. Dinosaurs were paragons of intellect.

　　C. Dinosaurs were relatively small brained.

　　D. Dinosaurs’ brains were appropriately sized.

　　舉例感化題：

　　此類標題就文中的例子舉行發問，須要考生答復此例子在文中所起的感化。

　　原文： “Government is so technical that even career civil servants cannot explain what is happening. In 1978 I attended a seminar on federal estate and gift tax, where the Internal Revenue Service lawyers responsible for this area frankly confessed that they did not understand the Tax Reform Act of 1976.”

　　譯文：當局是如斯的有技巧含量以致於乃至連公事員都不克不及說明正在產生著甚麽。1978年，我出席了一個聯邦資產稅收的研究會，在這裏賣力的美國海內稅局的狀師坦率地認可到，他們不明確1976年的稅收改造法案。

　　標題：The author uses the description of the tax seminar in 1978 to make the point that some governmental issues are:

　　A. so technical that not even career civil servants can understand them.

　　B. so technical that only career civil servants can understand them.

　　C. more technical than they used to be before the passage of the Tax Reform Act.

　　D. too technical for anyone other than an Internal Revenue Service tax lawyer to understand.

　　推論題：

　　此類標題與直接究竟題分歧，不是就文中的信息舉行直接的發問，而是考核作者所寫的某處內容現實表示了甚麽。

　　原文：“The remarkable thing about dinosaurs is not that they became extinct, but that they dominated the earth for so long…”

　　“People, on this criterion, are scarcely worth mentioning—5 million years perhaps since Australopithecus, a mere 50, 000 for our own species, Homo sapiens…”

　　譯文：恐龍最有名的一件工作不是他們滅盡了，而是他們占領了地球如斯之長的時光。

　　人類，在這類尺度下，基本不值得一提——也許5百萬年前的南邊古猿，僅僅5萬年前的咱們本身的物種，智人。

　　標題：In the context of the passage, what does the author mean when he states that “people … are scarcely worth mentioning” (lines 81-82)?

　　A. Compared to the complex social behavior of dinosaurs, human behavior seems simple.

　　B. Compared to the longevity of dinosaurs, humans have been on earth a very short time.

　　C. Compared to the size of dinosaurs, human seem incredibly small.

　　D. Compared to the amount of study done on dinosaurs, study of human behavior is severely lacking
