【天道原创】2012年SAT官方每日一题之完成句子
日积月累，终成大器
天道最新版的2012SAT每日一题就要和大家见面了！！！
在此，衷心感谢天道编辑的细致整理，给广大考生一份很好的补充复习资料。
众所周知，SAT考试是目前中国高中生面临难度系数最高、准备时间最长的英语考试。但与此同时，仍然有大量抱着侥幸心理，不好好复习，凭运气小聪明做题的考生。如何应对SAT考试，成为了众多考生在完成托福考试后的当务之急。除去传统的SAT OG和真题复习资料外，我认为考生们将SAT近一年的Collegeboard《每日一题》完成，也是很重要的选择。
SAT《每日一题》，代表了官方的最新动态，是我们能够拿到的，除去SAT 真题外，最重要的一手资料。通过《每日一题》的练习，考生们能够把握年度的题型走向和出题趋势，同时对于一些官方的新考点做到第一时间练习。如2012年，SAT的数学考试范围增加了数据分析、简单的矩阵、统计及概率分析的试题，考生就能够在第一时间，在我们的《每日一题》中得到练习。
在此，我希望能够再次与广大有志于在SAT考试中一展身手，冲刺美国名校的精英高中生们说一下，我个人认为的SAT备考资料序列。
首先，重中之重，SAT官方指南（OG）10套，通过对于OG的熟识，了解SAT题型和出题思路。
其次，SAT历年真题20套（2005-2012），考生通过大量练习，运用在OG中收获的各项解题思路，消化吸收解题方法。
再次，SAT OC和每日一题。SAT OC出题较难，同时有些偏，建议能力在
2100+以上的学生，在真题精熟的情况下，试做。《每日一题》则作为SAT时时的补充性练习，每一两个月，做一次补充版本，熟悉新的题型即可。
以此三步，稳扎稳打，相信很多考生都能够取得他们自身能力范围内的理想成绩。
祝考生们取得理想佳绩！大爱你们！

1月答案解析
1月2日
The correct answer is D
The sentence implies that Kelly,in light of her neighbor’s previous behavior, found his actions to be audacious,which means bold or daring.
1月5日
The correct answer is B
Choice B is correct.The term“Although”in the first clause suggests that Rolf’s response to the“salesman’s rude remarks”differed from his usual behavior.If Rolf is usually“timorous,”or timid,complaining to the salesman’s manager would be an uncharacteristic response.
1月8日
The correct answer is E
Choice(E)is correct.Facilitating meditation is a function—something valuable about tantra paintings in addition to their beauty.
The correct answer is D
A“traditionalist”is someone who adheres to a time-honored set of practices or beliefs.“Inferior to”describes something that is of lesser quality or value than something else.An administrator certainly could be a traditionalist,or adhere to time-honored practices.If the new administrator prefers older,established ways of doing things,it makes sense to say that he might consider newer ideas but ultimately,or in the end,decide that they are inferior to,or lesser in value than, older ideas.
1月14日
The correct answer is B
The key words are“sufficiently,”which indicates a positive response to the writer’s ideas,and“bear with,”which conveys negative feelings toward the writer’s language.Only“interesting...abuses of”provides a corresponding positive-negative relationship.
1月17日
The correct answer is D
The term“histrionics”in this context refers to Forrest’s theatrical performances as well as to the emotional outbursts that likely accompanied his temper.
The correct answer is C
Choice(C)is correct.The mayor was confident about her campaign,so it makes sense to suggest that she felt her political platform would“prevail,”or triumph. The phrase“less...than”indicates that as a result of her confidence,the mayor found her opponent's popularity to be less than a threat;she considered it a mere “distraction.”
1月23日
The correct answer is C
Choice(C)is correct.A rumor that spreads slowly and subtly can be described as“insidious.”
1月26日
The correct answer is B
Only“bigot...loath”logically completes the sentence.Someone who is not bigoted,or prejudiced,would not be“loath,”or unwilling,to accept someone with different opinions.
1月29日
The correct answer is B
Choice(B)is correct.It is logical that the owner of a five-year-old computer
would be concerned that her machine would soon be“obsolete,”or no longer useful,given the recent changes in computing.
