SAT改革以来,尤其是写作部分备受广大考生关注,因为我们新SAT的essay 部分改动最大。不仅由原来的required变成optional,还从传统的议论文写作变成以阅读为辅的分析性的写作模式。在时间安排上,由原来的25分钟改成50分钟。而文章主要来源于报纸期刊等,文章长度以650-700个单词为主。评分标准上,也由以前的满分12分,变为了8/8/8 (Reading阅读/Analysis分析/Writing)。
Reading
阅读方面,不建议阅读处于基础段的考生花大量时间给文章进行系统分析。只需找到并细读我们一直所强调的论点及论据,如:statistics,authoratative sources,facts等。
例如:
The rest of the world depends on darkness as well, including nocturnal and crepuscular species of birds, insects, mammals, fish and reptiles. Some examples are well known—the 400 species of birds that migrate at night in North America, the sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs—and some are not, such as the bats that save American farmers billions in pest control and the moths that pollinate 80% of the world’s flora. Ecological light pollution is like the bulldozer of the night, wrecking habitat and disrupting ecosystems several billion years in the making. Simply put, without darkness, Earth’s ecology would collapse . . .
以上文章段落,在阅读过程中,我们需先确定本段论点:“The rest of the world depends on darkness as well.” 之后快速略读本段信息,发现 “Some examples are well known—the 400 species of birds that migrate at night in North America, … ” 均为facts,并且这些facts的目的是用来证明段首论点,那么本段的阅读任务则算完成。
Analysis
分析方面,新SAT写作部分给同学们准备的机会就大大降低了。因为根据已给阅读文章进行分析,那么不同的文章的写作思路和应用的文章元素是不同的,很难提前准备好之后再去写出来,所以新SAT需要考生们在基础阶段熟悉文章中常见的元素,例如作者如何应用有效的例子和措词来得出作者的观点,整篇文章是如何使用一些风格上的和可以说服人的元素进行展开论述的。
切记,一定要包含如下三点:
Type |
Definition |
Purpose |
The information and ideas that the author uses to support a claim |
to support claims |
|
Reasoning |
The connective tissue that holds an argument together |
to develop ideas and connect claims and evidence |
Stylistic and Persuasive Elements |
The rhetorical techniques that an author might bring to bear in order to enhance the power of his or her argument |
to add power to the ideas expressed |
写作方面,新SAT写作要求比元老SAT更加严格,单独算分,所以要想在写作部分得高分,需注意如下几点:
1. 用词:准确、客观、书面化
2. 选句:句式多变(强调、倒装、非谓语等等)
3. 语法:可以允许存在少量语法错误,大家一定要注意你们的时态(一般现在时)、主谓一致(动词原形要三单)、作者性别(prompt中找)
