新SAT阅读真题四 Exercise 4 This passage is excerpted from Louisa May Alcott, Rose in Bloom, originally published in 1876. Three young men stood together on a wharf one bright October day awaiting the arrival of an ocean steamer with an impatience which found a vent in lively skirmishes with a small lad, who pervaded the premises like a will-o'-the-wisp and afforded much amusement to the other groups assembled there. "They are the Campbells, waiting for their cousin, who has been abroad several years with her uncle, the doctor," whispered one lady to another as the handsomest of the young men touched his hat to her as he passed, lugging the boy, whom he had just rescued from a little expedition down among the piles."Which is that?" asked the stranger. "Prince Charlie, as he's called a ?ne fellow, the most promising of the seven, but a little fast, people say," answered the ?rst speaker with a shake of the head. "Are the others his brothers?""No, cousins. The elder is Archie, a most exemplary young man. He has just gone into business with the merchant uncle and bids fair to be an honor to his family. The other, with the eyeglasses and no gloves, is Mac, the odd one, just out of college." "And the boy?" "Oh, he is Jamie, the youngest brother of Archibald, and the pet of the whole family. Mercy on us he'll be in if they don't hold on to him!"

Mrs. Allen was so long in dressing that they did not enter the ballroom till late. As for Mr. Allen, he repaired directly to the card-room. With more care for the safety of her new gown than for the comfort of her protegee, Mrs. Allen made her way through the throng of men by the door, as swiftly as the necessary caution would allow; Catherine, however, kept close at her side, and linked her arm too ?rmly within her friend's to be torn asunder by any common effort of a struggling assembly. Still they moved on—something better was yet in view; and by a continued exertion of strength and ingenuity they found themselves at last in the passage behind the highest bench. It was a splendid sight, and she began, for the ?rst time that evening, to feel herself at a ball: she longed to dance, but she had not an acquaintance in the room. Catherine began to feel something of disappointment—she was tired of being continually pressed against by people, the generality of whose faces possessed nothing to interest, and with all of whom she was so wholly unacquainted that she could not relieve the irksomeness of

SAT写作真题解析：此次的SAT写作题目，是一个选择疑问句，而句内是对行为属性的判定。拆解开来分别是“Showing vulnerability is courageous.”和“Showing strength is courageous.”所以这个SAT写作题目问的是显露弱点和优势这两种行为哪个更勇敢? 考生能联想到的是目前正经历的传统教育中经常被灌输的的“要考好”、“你看别人家的孩子……”、“别人都去你怎么不去?”的“争先恐后”思想。竞争和压力的成长和学习环境中总是被动或者主动的在展示“优点”和“强大”。由此，想到The Joy Luck Club中女儿Waverly弹奏钢琴和参加弈棋比赛展现自己优点才华的场景。那么不同的读者在这里看到的故事是不同的，有人觉得Waverly展示自己的才华并非所愿，这种行为也没有给她带来好处。由此回到题目中对改行为的判定，落到是否courageous这个属性上来。我们最基本的学习和竞争中，展现自己的才华和强大都是必要的，比如考生们在申请学校的文书中也是极尽所能的在做这件事。

A. concern B. uncertainty C. confusion D. generosity E. excitement 中文释义：雅各布对于即将开始的巴西之旅感到非常兴奋，确实是这样，他几乎难以抑制他的热情。题意解析：分号后是对前半句的进一步解释说明，表明雅各布对于巴西之旅很期待，因此他的感受应该是比较兴奋，E项正确，A项意思是关注，B项是不确定，C项是混乱，D项是慷慨大方，均不合句意。词汇解释： upcoming：即将到来的；forthcoming, approaching contain：1. 包含comprise, include；2. 控制；to keep within limits; 3. 容纳；to have with, hold; 4. 牵制；check, halt 2.

A. witty B. sincere C. lively D. formal E. friendly 中文释义：这位教授的课堂举止非常严肃，和她在私下里表现出的热情风趣一点也不一样。题意解析：never作为连接词表明前后半句句意相反，教授私下的表现与课堂上不同，从后半句中可以看出平时比较热情，于是课堂上时就应该是严谨认真，所以D项正确。A项意思是机智的，B项是真诚的，C项是活泼的，E项是友好的，均不合题意，所以排除。经典例句：Over the years, teaching methods have changed and become less formal. 这几年来，教学方法已有改变，不是那么正式了。词汇解释： reveal：显示，揭露；to make (something secret or hidden) publicly or generally known 3.

Section 1 Prompt 1 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. Most human beings spend their lives doing work they hate and work that the world does not need. It is of prime importance that you learn early what you want to do and whether or not the world needs this service. The return from your work must be the satisfaction that work brings you and the world's need of that work. Income is not money, it is satisfaction; it is creation; it is beauty. Adapted from W.E.B. Du Bois, The Autobiography of W.E.B. Du Bois: A Soliloquy on Viewing My Life from the Last Decade of Its First Century Assignment: Is it more important to do work that one finds fulfilling or work that pays well? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. Prompt 2 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. If we are dissatisfied with our circumstances, we think about changing them. But the most important and effective changes—in our attitude—hardly occur to us.

SAT阅读测试题1

Questions 10-14 are based on the following passage. This passage is from the preface to a 1997 book by a United States journalist detailing a disagreement between doctors and family members about a child's medical treatment at a hospital in California. Under my desk I keep a large carton of cassette tapes. Though they have all been transcribed, I still like to listen to them from time to time, Some are quiet and easily understood. They are filled with the voices of American doctors, interrupted occasionally by the clink of a coffee cup or beep of a pager. The rest—more than half of them—are very noisy. They are filled with the voices of the Lees family, Hmong refugees from Laos who came to the United States in 1980. Against a background of babies crying, children playing, doors slamming, dishes clattering, a television yammering, and an air conditioner wheezing, I can hear the mother's voice, by turns breathy, nasal, gargly, or humlike as it slides up and down the Hmong language's eight tones; the father's voice, louder, slower, more vehement; and my interpreter's voice, mediating in Hmong and English, low and deferential in each. The hubbub summons sense-memories: the coolness of the red metal folding chair, reserved for guests, that was always set up when I arrived in the apartment; the shadows cast by the amulet that hung from the ceiling and swung in the breeze on its length of grocer's twine; the tastes of Hmong food. I sat on the Lees' red chair for the first lime on May 19, 1988. Earlier that spring I had come to Merced, California, because I had heard that there were some misunderstandings at the county hospital between its Hmong patients and medical staff. One doctor called them "collisions," which made it sound as if two different kinds of people had rammed into each other, head on, to the accompaniment of squealing brakes and breaking glass. As it turned out, the encounters were messy but rarely frontal. Both sides were wounded, but neither side seemed to know what had hit it or how to avoid another crash. I have always felt that the action most worth watching occurs not at the center of things but where edges meet. I like shorelines, weather fronts, international borders. These places have interesting frictions and incongruities, and often, if you stand at the point of tangency, you can see both sides better than if you were in the middle of either one. This is especially true when the apposition is cultural. When I first came to Merced, I hoped that the culture of American medicine, about which I knew a little, and the culture of the Hmong, about which I knew nothing, would somehow illuminate each other if I could position myself between the two and manage not to get caught in the crossfire. But after getting to know the Lees family and their daughter's doctors and realizing how hard it was to blame anyone, I stopped analyzing the situation in such linear terms. Now, when I play the tapes late at night, I imagine what they would sound like if I could splice them together, so the voices of the Hmong and those of the American doctors could be heard on a single tape, speaking a common language. 10. In line 17, "summons" most nearly means (A) sends for (B) calls forth (C) requests (D) orders (E) convenes 11. It can be inferred from lines 27-33 that "collisions" was NOT an apt description because the (A) clash between Hmong patients and medical staff was indirect and baffling (B) Hmong patients and the medical staff were not significantly affected by the encounters (C) medical staff was not responsible for the dissatisfaction of the Hmong patients (D) misunderstandings between the Hmong patients and the medical staff were easy to resolve (E) disagreement reached beyond particular individuals to the community at large

Unfortunately or fortunately, Nawab hadmarried early in life a sweet woman of unsurpassed fertility, whom he adored,and she proceeded to bear him children spaced, if not less than nine monthsapart, then not that much more. And all daughters, one after another afteranother, until finally the looked-for son arrived, leaving Nawab with acomplete set of twelve girls, ranging from toddler to age eleven, and one oddpiece. If he had been governor of the Punjab, their dowries would have beggaredhim. For an electrician and mechanic, no matter how light-fingered, thereseemed no question of marrying them all off. No moneylender in his right mindwould, at any rate of interest, advance a sufficient sum to buy the necessaryitems for each daughter: beds, a dresser, trunks, electric fans, dishes, sixsuits of clothes for the groom, six for the bride, perhaps a television, and onand on and on. Another man might have thrown up hishands—but not Nawabdin. The daughters acted as a spur to his genius, and helooked with satisfaction in the mirror each morning at the face of a warriorgoing out to do battle.
