月SAT真题句子填空全文翻译精讲
2012年1月SAT真题句子填空全文翻译精讲2012.1 真题1. Jacob felt great ______ about his upcoming trip to Brazil; indeed, he could hardly contain his enthusiasm.A. concernB. uncertaintyC. confusionD. generosityE. 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, approachingcontain：1. 包含comprise, include；2. 控制；to keep within limits; 3. 容纳；to have with, hold;4. 牵制；check, halt2. The professor’s classroom manner was quite_____, never revealing the warmth and playfulness she showed in private.A. wittyB. sincereC. livelyD. formalE. 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 known3. Instead of taking notes during the interview, the journalist recorded the celebrity’s remarks on tape and later ______them.A. disavowedB. transcribedC. anticipatedD. retractedE. recollected中文释义：这位记者在采访中并没有记笔记，而是用磁带录下这位名人的言论，之后再转录下来。
题意解析：从句意可以看出该记者在采访时不做笔记而是录下来，也就意味着录完以后再记录，由此推出正确选项是B转录。
A项意思是拒绝否认，C项是预期期望，D项是撤销，E 项是回忆，想起，均不合题意，所以排除。
4. Like several other important advances in medicine, penicillin was a somewhat____discovery resulting from _______combination of blind chance and technical expertise.A. progressive .. a reliableB. wonderful .. an unluckyC. untimely .. a profitableD. ordinary .. an unfortunateE. accidental .. a favorable中文释义：正如其他重大医学进展一样，青霉素是由机遇与专业技术相结合的意外发现。
题意解析：由like可知，青霉素与其他医学进步一样是一项有利的发现，由此排除C项及D 项具有贬义的单词，由blind chance推出该发现是个偶然，所以E项正确。
词汇解释：untimely：1. 不合时宜的；badly timed, uncommonly early or before the expected time；2. 过早的；before the due, natural, or proper timesomewhat：有点，多少；in some degree or measure5. Author Luis Zalamea calls novel writing a ______ experience, one that cleanses him of feelings of rebellion and frustration.A. subliminalB. perpetualC. stupefyingD. catharticE. corrosive中文释义：作家路易斯·萨拉梅亚将创作小说称为宣泄情感的经历，即它清除了反叛与沮丧之感。
题意解析：逗号后为空格部分做了解释，也就是说创作小说能够清除反叛和沮丧之感，那么就意味着这是一个清洁净化的过程，因此D项感情宣泄正确。
A项意思是潜意识的，B项是永久的，C项是使发呆的，E项是腐蚀的，均不合题意，所以排除。
经典例句：It was actually a cathartic experience to write my autobiography. 写自传确实是我一次宣泄情感的经历。
6. The scientist was _____in her evaluation of her own research, choosing to analyze and report on seemingly ____ results as well as those that were more expected.A. meticulous .. aberrantB. resolute .. embryonicC. deferential .. convolutedD. objective .. quotidianE. myopic .. unequivocal中文释义：这个科学家评估她自己的研究时非常谨小慎微，除了选择预料中的结果进行分析并报告外，她也将看起来异常的结果纳入考虑范围。
题意解析：as well as通常连接的是由对比性的词组，所以这里应该是反义重复，第二个空格应选择与“符合预料”相反意思的词，即不合常规的；另外由于该科学家同时将预料中的结果和异常结果都进行分析，说明她是非常谨慎的，A项中两个单词都符合该语境，所以选择A项。
词汇解释：meticulous：一丝不苟的，谨小慎微的；marked by extreme or excessive care in the consideration or treatment of detailsaberrant：异常的；straying from the right or normal wayresolute：坚决的，果断的；marked by firm determinationembryonic：1. 胚胎的；of or relating to an embryo；2. 初期的；being in an early stage of developmentdeferential：恭敬的，顺从的；showing or expressing deferenceconvoluted：1. 复杂的；involved, intricate；2. 旋绕的；having convolutionsquotidian：每日的，平凡的；occurring everyday, commonplace, ordinarymyopic：1. 近视的；a condition in which the visual images come to a focus in front of the retina of the eye resulting especially in defective vision of distant objects；2. 目光短浅的；lacking foresight or scopeunequivocal：1. 明确的；leaving no doubt；2. 无疑的；unquestionable7. Writer John Worthen suggested that, in some cases, biographers should be ____, considering allavailable details rather than making ____ a first principle.A.forthright .. relevanceB. cynical .. incriminationC. inclusive .. selectionD. libelous .. discriminationE. comprehensive .. drudgery中文释义：作家约翰·沃森认为，在某些情况下，传记作家应该追求包罗万象，考虑到所有可以获得的信息而不是把精挑细选作为首要原则。
题意解析：非谓语动词considering 的作用是解释说明空格中单词的意思，即考虑到所有可用信息，所以第一个空格应该是inclusive 或者comprehensive；rather than 引导的下半句意思应该和前面的意思相反，与考虑所有信息相反的词应该是考虑部分信息，即挑选信息，因此正确选项应该是C。
词汇解释：forthright：直截了当的；free from ambiguity or evasiveness : going straight to the point cynical：愤世嫉俗的；having or showing the attitude or temper of a cynicincrimination：控告；charge with or show evidence or prove of involvement in a crime or fault libelous：诽谤的；constituting or including a libelcomprehensive：1. 综合的，广泛的；covering completely or broadly；2. 有理解力的；having or exhibiting wide mental graspdrudgery：苦工，苦差事；dull, irksome, and fatiguing work8.

SAT月份亚洲阅读解析
1. 答案B解析文章中展示了从小在FortNilesIsland上与做渔民的父亲相伴长大的RuthThomas 在被母亲送到一所私立的寄宿制学校后;内心里对于寄宿制学校的生活与FortNilesIsland的生活进行了比较;以直接阐述RuthThomas心理活动为主;伴以作者的部分点评;主要是为了指出RuthThomas内心活动的矛盾之处..2.答案D解析文章第四段中明确指出;Ruth对于小岛的眷念其实是在对她母亲安排的寄宿制生活表达抗议;Ruth更喜欢自己来决定哪些事情对她好;而且她认为完全具备这样的能力..D对应原文第33~36行的Ruth…morecorrectchoices..3.答案D解析文章中多次指出;其实岛上的生活也并不如Ruth所说的那般美好;相反;岛上比较单调;而且环境也比较恶劣..但是文章中正面披露出Ruth在岛上的生活并不美好的信息则体现在rugged一词上——在母亲所安排的寄宿制学校中;女生们会呵护自己的皮肤和马匹;而Ruth并没有马匹;她的生活更单调和艰难些..因此;D正确..4.答案D解析原文第二段中指出;Ruth朝思暮想的岛上生活其实很单调;海面上偶尔会有seagull或seal;而且这些都是她已经比较熟悉的场景;就好像她对自己卧室的天花板那样熟悉;作者主要是为了体现出Ruth生活的单调性;因此D正确..5.答案D解析根据文章前三段的内容来看;Ruth离开FortNiles岛后;对岛上的生活充满了怀念;因此;这里的passion主要表现的是她对于岛上生活的喜欢及热爱;故D正确..6.答案A解析第27~32行指出;Ruth故意表现出对小岛生活的热爱之情;主要是为了抗议她的母亲擅做主张让她进入寄宿制学校..A是对原文中Itwasherresistancea gainst…forherowngood的同义转述..7.答案D解析第四段指出;如果让Ruth自己选择的话;她绝不会选去现在这样的精英寄宿制学校;该学校的女生主要关心的是她们的皮肤以及马匹;从NohorsesforRuth;thankyou.Shewasnotthatkindofgirl.中可以看出;Ruth对这这些女生的做法很不屑..此外;文中的rugged暗示;Ruth并不像这些女生那样娇生惯养;选项D较好地概括了这两点;故为答案..8.答案A解析根据对上题的分析;再结合四个选项的内容来看;只有A符合条件..9.答案D解析文章提到;在Ruth看来;跟她父亲上船捕鱼的生活其实及其单调乏味;但是Ruth为了在那些注重呵护皮肤和马驹的女同学面前掩饰她的这种生活;故意说她喜欢捕鱼..10.答案C解析原文第51~57行用三个连续的排比句阐述了在Ruth看来日复一日、无比单调的捕鱼生活..三个排比句其实起到了强调和突出的作用;因此;C正确..11.答案D解析文章开头就指出;1995年的调查取得了一个调查结果;从第11行开始;文章使用了一个与过去事实相反的假设句指出;如果当时将这两个问题同时抛给同样的被调查者的话;最终的结果可能会不一样;人们可能会掩饰自己的真实想法..本题题干中也使用了与过去事实相反的虚拟句;四个选项中;D是对原文上述这部分内容的另一种更直白的表述;故为答案..12.答案C解析原文中从第11句开始用虚拟句阐述另一种可能的假设情况;再结合上面的分析来看;只有C符合条件..13.答案C解析原文中的fair在上下文语境中的意思是“公平合理的”;四个选项中;只有equitable意义最相近;故为答案..本题要注意排除强干扰项D;legitimate更侧重“合法的；合情合理的”;与这里的上下文语境不符——这里并不涉及是否合法的问题;更多的是对赢了诉讼和输了诉讼的人是否公平的问题;因此排除D..14.答案A解析原文中的arangeof意为“一系列”;在四个选项A.series系列;B.distance距离;C.sum 总量;D.region地区;区域中;只有A能表示相同的意思..15.答案D解析选项A和C与31~34行的内容不符;原文中指出;这些受试者读过案件的卷宗;且对案件的一些重要内容是有所了解的;因此排除A和C..B的内容在文中找不到依据..只有D正确;原文第37~38行明确提到;这些受试者如果猜测准确的话;他们会获得经济上的奖励..16.答案D解析结合上一题的分析;本题四个选项中;只有D符合条件;故为答案..17.答案B解析第3段指出;第2段中的那些受试者会受到自身利益的驱动而扭曲他们的正确认知;而第3段中这些新的受试者不会知道自己到底属于利益体的哪一方;直到他们在了解案宗的情况下做出自己的正确判断后才会知道..也就是说;这些新的受试者在做出自己的判断时不会像第2段中的那些受试者那样;受到明显的利益驱动;因此;B正确..18.答案B解析第4段明确指出;尽管前面的那些实验揭示了人们在做出判断的时候是有偏见的;但这种偏见是无意识的;因为毕竟如果他们猜测的结果正确的话会得到奖励..因此;括号中的内容是为了进一步说明这些受试者动机的本质;表明他们做出的判断中所持的偏向性并不是有意为之;而只是受到下意识的维护自我利益的动机的影响..四个选项中;只有B符合条件..A中的wantedtobefair与括号内容无关;排除..从括号中的信息推不出C的内容;C是对原文的过度理解;排除..D中的behaveaggressively找不到依据;排除..19.答案C解析表格的内容呈现了以下几点：与那些不知道自己角色的受试者即;不受自我利益驱动的受试者相比;那些知道自己角色的受试者即;会被自我利益驱动的受试者在达成settlement上的比例更低只有72%；所需的平均谈判周期更长3.75；在达成的平均settlement的数量上更低29970美元;而前者为36762美元..根据以上对表格内容的解读不难发现;四个选项中;只有C符合条件;其中的unconsciousbiaswadminimized指的就是文章中提到的;在受试者做出判断之前不让他们知道自己的角色;从而减少他们受到自我利益影响的因素..20.答案B解析根据上一题中对文章表格内容的分析来看;与那些事先不知道自己角色的受试者相比他们的谈判周期为2.51;那些会被自我利益驱动的受试者在达成settlement所需要的时间更长些谈判周期为3.75;因此;B正确..21.答案C解析文章中的实验表明;受试者在做出判断的时候;往往会下意识维护自我利益;从而使最终的判断产生偏差；文章中的表格则用数据说明了这一点..也就是说;如果减少人们对于自我利益保护这个因素的影响;那么达成结果的过程会变得更有效率;因此;C 正确..22.答案D解析根据对题干中所提及的两处的上下文内容的分析;原文中的independentof意为“分离的;不受……影响的”;四个选项affiliatedwith隶属于;proportionalto成比例的;相称的;causedby由……所导致和unrelatedto与……不相关的中;只有D与independentof 的意思最接近;故为答案..23.答案D解析第一段段末指出;人们自十八世纪中期起就知晓了关于摩擦力的这些法则;但是对于这些法则的解释方面却没有一种能被普遍接受的解释..D是对原文这部分内容的概述;故为答案..解析根据对上一题的分析不难发现;四个选项中;只有A正确..25.答案B解析原文中说;物理学家们的目标是：通过用分析的方法或者电脑操作的方式;从具有指定的相互作用力的原子中构建一个坚硬的主体和表面;然后直接计算摩擦力..其中的prescribed意为“规定的”;四个选项中能符合这个意思的词只有B..26.答案B解析第二篇的第三段指出;对摩擦更深入的了解可以让科学家更好地理解其他无数的现象;例如发动机性能和工具耗损..而且;摩擦力对于微型机械的研发人员来说尤为头痛..四个选项中;与micromachines相关的只有B..27.答案C解析第2篇文章第4段指出;Marder以地毯上的凸起物为例;说明了对这种凸起物施加压力会使得整个地毯在地板上滑动..在此过程中;地板的表面是坚固的;并没有发生变化;但是地毯上的凸起物却会在受压后而变形;因此;C正确..28.答案C解析结合对上一题的分析以及四个选项的内容;只有C符合条件..29.答案C解析第二篇最后一段末指出;这种新的模型的有利条件是;它能预估压力间的简单联系;并且不要求接触面在原子水平上保持粗糙;因此;C正确..解析第一篇文章主要介绍了在传统的理想状态下摩擦力的作用模型;第二篇文章则主要介绍了EricGerde和MichaelP.Marder这两位物理学家的新的模型;因此;C正确.. 31.答案A解析第一篇文章中提到;移动时所需要的作用力要与上面物体的重量成正比..而第二篇第83行所说的simplerelationships指的是就是第一篇中所阐述的这种物体所受的压力与摩擦力之间的正比例关系..因此;A正确..32.答案A解析第一篇中使用了这样一个类比：当人们往车上装东西时;轮胎与路面之间的基础面积也随之增大;文章这样做的目的是为了阐述在传统的模式下;摩擦力的作用模式..第二篇中使用了含有凸起物的地毯的例子;主要是为了对EricGerde和MichaelP.Marder这两位物理学家的新模型进行说明..四个选项中;只有A能较好地概括这些内容;故为答案..33.答案B解析通过第一段中的theunthinking和themisguidedmenwhohaveenlistedunderthebannersofliberty;fromnoprinciplesorwithbadon es…可以发现;作者对于这些煽动发起革命的人是持否定态度的;并根据这些人所持的目标将这些人分为三类进行了详细阐述..综上来看;B正确..34.答案B解析结合对上一题的分析来看;四个选项中;只有B正确..解析文章以探讨革命开篇;引出了法国大革命的话题;进而探讨了国内一些主张发动革命的人的话题;并将这些人分为三类进行了探讨..四个选项中;符合文章实际的只有B..36.答案C解析第一段指出;应以法国革命为鉴;分析英国国内那些支持策划一场类似革命事件的人的动机和行为;并在接下来的几段中将这些反对现有秩序的人具体分为了三种进行了分析..选项C是对原文中的第5~9行的概述;故为答案..37.答案A解析文章第一段引用了地震和飓风来临之前的一些迹象;比如strangerumblings和confusednoises;借此来类比说明在革命发生之前也是这种“山雨欲来风满楼”的情形..四个选项中;只有A正确..38.答案A解析分析文章发现;原文中的motives和manners可分别与逗号后面的定语从句中的opinions和conduct对应;因此;manners在这里表示的是“行为”的意思..四个选项behaviors行为;举止;properties特性;traditions传统;quirks巧合；怪癖中;只有behaviors 符合条件;故答案为A..39.答案C解析第二段中阐述了第一种人;即那些革命意志和态度不太坚定的人;并分析了他们这种态度的利弊..原文中用到的weather-cockuncertainty和dough-bakedpatriots形象地阐述了这种人态度不坚定的嘴脸..因此;C正确..解析第三段描述了第二种人;他们盲目听信别人的煽动;不假思索地加入到血腥的报复性行为的行列中..四个选项中;A找不到依据;排除；B与原文中的unilluminatedbyphilosophy的内容相悖;排除；D与原文内容相反;原文说这些人是盲目的追随者;故排除 D..只有C符合条件;它对应原文中的alustofrevengebyaggravatedwrongs..41.答案D解析最后一段介绍了第三种人;他们既不像第一种人那么摇摆不定;也不像第二种人那么残暴;但是他们坚定地要求打破特权;要求自由..四个选项中;只有D符合原文.. 42.答案B解析结合对上一题的分析及四个选项的内容;只有B符合条件..43.答案C解析第一段介绍了xenophobia仇外心理这种现象;第二段至第四段则以molerat为实验样本;分析了影响molerat中仇外现象的一些因素;如环境资源因素、性别因素等..因此;C正确..本题需要注意排除强干扰项B;因为文中并未提及与commonmolerat行为相关的claims..44.答案C解析原文中说;对于那些居住在稳定群体里的动物而言;新来者意味着重大威胁;其中的represent意为“代表;意味着”..四个选项identify识别;portray描述;personify是……的化身和constitute组成;构成中;只有C.personify符合条件;故为答案..解析第一段介绍了xenophobia仇外心理这种现象;并在该段段末阐述了一种假设：当资源稀少时;仇外现象可能会表现得更明显;这也正是题干中所说的articulationofahypothesis..第二段段首指出;为了研究资源稀少性对于仇外心理演化的影响;AndrewSpinks和他的同事们研究了普通地鼠中的仇外心理..而后从第二段至第四段;文章都在阐述这一研究;从而验证第一段中提出的假设..因此;四个选项中只有A 符合原文..46.答案B解析第三段末提到;实验显示;当受试的两只地鼠知道彼此都是来自干旱地区时;它们间的敌意会消失..题干中的leastlikelytoshowaggressiontoward对应原文中的aggressiondisappeared;B对应原文的individualswhokneweachotherfromthearidpopulationweretestedtogether..47.答案C解析根据对上一题的分析和四个选项的内容来看;C正确..48.答案B解析文中提到;实验表明;来自同一个群体的受试地鼠不会对彼此产生敌意;这是自然选择所青睐的行为;其中的favor意为“青睐;喜欢”..四个选项approve同意；批准;promote提倡;促进;regard考虑到和indulge沉迷于中;只有B最贴合favor在上下文中的意思;故为答案..49.答案B解析通过观察柱状图发现;不管是什么性别的地鼠;柱状图中展现出来的一个共性是;来自干旱环境的地鼠比来自湿润环境的地鼠更具有敌对性..因此;B正确..50.答案B解析柱状图的信息回答了第一个问题：females;因此A保留..柱状图表明;相比于来自湿润地区的地鼠;来自干旱地区;也就是资源稀缺地区的地鼠的敌对心理更强;因此;C 保留..从柱状图中可见;当雌性地鼠和雄性地鼠组合在一起时;它们之间的敌意相较于单纯的雌性地鼠组合或者雄性地鼠组合会更弱些;因此;D保留..从柱状图中并不能知道;在雌性地鼠和雄性地鼠的组合中;到底是雌性地鼠还是雄性地鼠更快可能先发起攻击性行为;因此;柱状图回答不了选项B的问题..51.答案D解析文章最后一段指出;由于普通的地鼠可能会从不同的领地寻找配偶;因此;雌性地鼠和雄性地鼠间的竞争可能不像同性的地鼠之间的竞争那么激烈;但是这并不表明在资源稀缺的情况下;不同性别的地鼠之间就不存在竞争;事实上竞争也依然存在..因此;D正确..本题要注意排除干扰项B;尽管文中提到来自不同领地的地鼠之间会存在敌意和竞争;但是由于存在雌性地鼠和雄性地鼠这样的组合缓解了不同领地间地鼠竞争的可能性;因此;B的说法显得过于绝对;与原文不符;故排除..52.答案D解析结合上一题的分析以及最后一段末提到的;在资源稀缺的干旱环境中;比起同性别地鼠间的敌意和竞争;不同性别的地鼠间的这种敌意和竞争会少得多;文章言外之意是;尽管这种敌意少得多;但依然还是存在敌意..因此;四个选项中;只有D符合条件..。
