变化一:Relevant Words in Context 新SAT考试取消了填空题
As someone who bothinitiates and popularize fashion, American clothing designer Anna Sui can trulybe considered a ____(2014.10北美卷)
A. renegade
B. pilgrim
C. composer
D. trendsetter
E. collector
上题即是一道填空题,新SAT考试不再考察。考生们可以看出该题型难度不低,词汇的难度远远超越了目前高中生在学校所学习的词汇难度,所以取消该题型是一件好事。
那么,新SAT部分对于词汇的考察是这样的:
Salina asked herfriends to husbandthe supplies so that they would not run out.(新SAT OG)
上句中的husband一词考生们可以发现并不是我们大家所理解的“丈夫”的意思,根据该句中的逻辑为因果逻辑,大意为Salina让她的朋友对供应的物品节约使用,这样他们就不会用光了。所以此处husband的意思应该为“节约使用”的意思。
那么,从该题中可以看出新SAT考试中对于词汇的考察特别关注“熟词僻意”,也就是词汇在上下文中的特定含义。
变化二:Command of Evidence
根据官方指南中的解释,这一点变化体现在:
★ asking you to determine the best evidence to the previous question
简单来说就是考生们需要在完成前一题的基础之上再完成下一道题,而下一道题的四个选项是来自于文章中的四个句子,考生们需要选出一个句子作为上一道题答案的出处或者依据。该题型为新SAT阅读中新增题型,考生们可以看出该题型的难点在于会出现“连坐”现象,也就是如果前一道题选错了,那么后一道题一定会被牵连一起选错。但是,该题型也有一定的技巧性,比如考生们可以先看下一道题,将下一道题给出定位的四个句子作为上一道题定位时的依据,这样考生们可以有一定的方向性。
例子:
1Every day,millions of shoppers hit the stores in
full force—both online and on foot—searching
frantically for the perfect gift. Last year, Americans
spent over $30 billion at retail stores in the month of
5 December alone.Aside from purchasing holiday
gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other
occasions throughout the year, including weddings,
birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and baby
showers. This frequent experience of gift-giving can
10 engenderambivalent feelings in gift-givers. Many
relish the opportunity to buy presents because
gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger
bonds with one’s closest peers. At the same time,
many dread the thought of buying gifts; they worry
15 that theirpurchases will disappoint rather than
delight the intended recipients.(新SAT OG Sample 1)
1. The authors indicate that people value gift-giving becausethey feel it
A)functions as a form of self-expression.
B) isan inexpensive way to show appreciation.
C)requires the gift-recipient to reciprocate.
D) canserve to strengthen a relationship.
2. Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?
A)Lines 10-13 (“Many . . . peers”)
B)Lines 22-23 (“People . . . own”)
C)Lines 31-32 (“Research . . . perspectives”)
D) Lines 44-47 (“Although .. . unfounded”)
解析:
第一题是一道传统的推断题,而第二题则是一道证据题。
第一题答案应该选择D。In lines 10-13,the authors clearly state that some people believe gift-giving can help arelationship because it “offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds withone’s closest peers.”
第二题答案应该选A, 因为in lines 10-13, the authors suggest that people valuegift-giving because it may strengthen their relationships with others: “Manyrelish the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerfulmeans to build stronger bonds with one’s closest peers.”

变化六:Analysis in History / Social Studies and in Science
★ The year of the Battle of Hastings?? ×
★ The chemical formulafor a particular molecule?? ×
★ Identify theconclusion of a researcher √
★ Draw the evidence tosupport the conclusion √
通过以上四个问题考生们会发现新SAT不会考察考生们本身的背景知识储存量,而是需要考生们根据材料的提示回答相应的问题。
变化七:US. Founding Documents
考生们需要在新SAT的备考过程中了解美国的一些建国文献,比如《独立宣言》、《权利法案》等。
变化八:No Penalty for Wrong
这一点主要指在新SAT考试中如果选错不会倒扣分。
