SAT阅读对于大部分的考生来说都是相对较难的部分，那么如何攻克SAT阅读考试呢？下面小站教育特别为大家整理了SAT阅读考试的技巧，尤其是对排除法做出了全面的解析。

态度语气评价题的错误选项类型

定义：这种题型指的是题干里含有“attitude”，“tone”，“feeling”，“mood”，“view…as”等，主要考查学生对作者感情、情绪和态度的感受能力。
SAT文章中，排除说明文客观的描述说明，议论文偶尔出现的冷静中立的分析，作者一定会明确表达出或褒或贬的态度。因此“ambivalent”，“indifferent”和“unshakably confident”等矛盾态度、无所谓态度或极端态度都是错误的选项。
补充一点：SAT文章中，各个人物对彼此的评价态度一般没有“resentful”，“underhanded”这种憎恨，辱骂其卑劣类的态度，大多是“ironic”，“Satirical”，“Disdainful”等讽刺蔑视类的态度。

例题：【OG Test 6 P725】

Recently excavated artifacts from Pakistan have inspired a reevaluation of one of the great early urban cultures—the enigmatic Indus Valley civilization, one of the four great early Old World state—cultures, along with Mesopotamia, 5 Egypt, and China’s Yellow River civilization. Much less is known about the Indus civilization than these other states because linguists have yet to decipher the Harappan script found on recovered objects. Attempting to understand these vanished people and their social structures, my colleagues 10 and I have drawn clues from the miscellaneous objects we uncover and sites we excavate.In this effort, the Harappan writings have not been totally useless; we have gleaned insights by examining the context of the writing’s use.

12. The author’s tone in the final sentence is best described as

(A) frustrated

(B) resigned

(D) somewhat encouraged

(E) unshakably confident

讲解：选项中可以直接排除选项C/E。
文中作者说“the writings have not been totally useless”，表达一定程度上令人欢欣鼓舞的语气。
