SAT简介及经典例题

SAT填空题详解一：sat填空ABC1.1 SAT 和SAT填空SAT（Scholastic Assessment Test）是由美国教育服务中心（Educational Test Service，ETS）组织的一项测试高中生学术能力的考试。

在很多中国同学眼中，SAT 被视为“价值数万的考试”，因为如果申请者能在SAT 考试中取得高分，就极有可能获得美国大学的高额奖学金，从而节省下上万人民币的留学费用。

除此之外，SAT 考试作为一种能力测试，可以让中国的高中学生通过准备此项考试加强自己的分析能力、逻辑能力和归纳能力，为大学的学习打下一定的基础。

现行的SAT 推理考试一共包括三个部分：分析性阅读（Critical Reading）、数学（Mathematics）和写作（Writing）。

其中，分析性阅读包括两类题目，即阅读理解和句子填空。

1.2 SAT填空的特点句子填空思路独特，与正常的阅读理解迥然不同，他是一种文字与文字之间，概念与概念之间的逆向推理游戏，是众多考生望而生畏，觉得捉摸不透的体型之一。

中国考生往往对数理逻辑的正像推理轻车熟路，而对文字内部的逆向推理则非常陌生。

很多考生上了考场仍然误以为“读懂就行”。

试想，如果连句子主干的谓语动词都是一个空格，怎么可能阅读呢？我们过去经常做的政治、历史等学科的填空题是一种知识性填空题，比如要你填入攻陷巴士底狱的时间，或者萨拉热窝事件中被谋杀的公爵的名字等等。

此时，考题考察你的记忆能力，答案是你上场前记忆下来带到考场上去的。

而我们即将面对的sat填空，题目本身不涉及任何专业知识，否则不会来源于专业知识的记忆，永远来自题目内部，一言蔽之，答案都会在原句中重复。

我们需要做的只是在原句中将已提供出来的答案找出来而已。

1.3 考前准备词汇准备：绿皮书GRE红宝书巴朗词表技巧准备：课堂听讲+真题演练说明：1. 准备时间比较充足的话，选择GER红宝书，时间比较紧的话则采用绿皮书，巴朗词表做备用补充。

sat数学试题及答案

sat数学试题及答案SAT数学试题及答案一、选择题1. 一个圆的半径是5，求这个圆的面积。

A. 25πB. 50πC. 75πD. 100π答案：B2. 如果一个数列的前三项是2, 4, 6，那么第10项是多少？A. 18B. 20C. 22D. 24答案：B3. 一个三角形的三边长分别为3, 4, 5，这个三角形是：A. 等边三角形B. 等腰三角形C. 直角三角形D. 钝角三角形答案：C二、填空题4. 一个数的平方根等于它本身，这个数是________。

答案：0或15. 如果一个函数f(x) = 3x + 5，求f(-2)的值。

答案：-16. 一个长方形的长是10厘米，宽是5厘米，求它的周长。

答案：30厘米三、简答题7. 一个圆的周长是31.4厘米，求这个圆的直径。

解：根据圆的周长公式C = πd，我们有31.4 = πd。

解得d = 31.4 / π ≈ 10厘米。

8. 一个等差数列的首项是5，公差是3，求第20项的值。

解：等差数列的通项公式为an = a1 + (n - 1)d。

将首项a1 = 5和公差d = 3代入公式，得到a20 = 5 + (20 - 1) * 3 = 5 + 57 = 62。

9. 一个直角三角形的两条直角边分别是6和8，求斜边的长度。

解：根据勾股定理，斜边c的长度等于两直角边的平方和的平方根，即c = √(6² + 8²) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10。

四、解答题10. 一个工厂生产了1000个零件，其中5%是次品。

如果工厂决定只出售合格的零件，那么工厂将出售多少个零件？解：首先计算次品的数量，1000 * 5% = 50个。

然后从总数中减去次品的数量，得到出售的合格零件数量：1000 - 50 = 950个。

11. 一个投资项目预计在第一年结束时产生$10,000的利润，如果每年的增长率为5%，那么第三年结束时的利润是多少？解：使用复合利息公式计算，P = P0 * (1 + r)^n，其中P0是初始利润，r是增长率，n是年数。
