SAT填空总论.docx

1、SAT填空总论SAT 填空讲义一、填空总论SAT是标准化考试，它有一个最大的特定，就是题目的稳定性。圣经旧约里有一句话：阳光下没有新东西（”There is no new thing under the sun “）。这是一句很简单但是又很深刻的话，意思是历史在反复重演，没有什么是独特的、不一样的。换句话说，充分的了解历史就可以足够明智的看待未来，这对准备考试非常管用。 填空的题型就是给你一个句子，有一个或两个空格，让你填入合适的选项。实际上是考查考生逻辑思维能力和中国考生的词汇量。在阅读的环节里，填空考5-8道题，它所占的比重不是很大。对于有些同学来说，填空很难。阅读文章如果有些地方读不懂，

2、可以根据上下文推测，而填空是孤立的句子，看上去没有头绪。但恰恰填空也是技巧性最强的部分，是可以拉开差距离。 填空的最大特征就是信息的重复，要考生填入空格的信息一定是句子别的地方出现过的。解题要抓住两点：中心词和逻辑关系。换句话说，要找到空格与题目中什么信息重复，是同义还是反义的重复。填空题的本质就是找同义词和反义词。当然，通过对题目的研究我们可以找到很多技巧性的东西来解题，在不能完全理解句子的情况下也能迅速解题。另外，词汇量大，可以让考试准备变得轻松很多。当然，最后要补充的是，要想在SAT考试中获得高分，仅仅依靠对句子结构的把握和对逻辑关系的分析是不够的，考生还需要对题目中涉及到的词汇进行准确

3、的理解，否则很有可能出现在句子结构和逻辑关系都正确的情况下却把答案选择错误的情况。几乎所有的SAT填空题都要求考生对相关词汇有准确的理解，而对于大多数中国同学来说，应该尽早养成勤查字典，尤其是英英词典的良好习惯。在准备SAT考试的过程中，建议考生最好准备一本Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary，即通常所说的韦氏大学词典，因为这是ETS官方指定的考试用词典，SAT考试中所有的词语释义全部来源于该词典。甚至，有一些题目就是将韦氏大学词典中某个词汇的释义稍加修改而成的。1、Mrs. Williams found it ironic that her twelve

4、-year-old son, who made all As on his report card, was so _ at home, apparently unable to follow her most basic instructions concerning such commonsense matters as tidiness.A stubborn B astute C candid D obtuse E sullen1、令威廉姆斯太太觉得讽刺的是，她那12岁的儿子考试得了全A，在家却_连她提出的最基本的要求都达不到。A顽固的（倔的） B 精明的（精的） C坦率的（直的） D

5、愚笨的（笨的） E 愠怒的（气的）sustainable development 可持续发展二、SAT填空解题思路：要求同学在解题过程中应该通过逻辑解题，而不是用背景知识理解。比如： 他是一个_ ，没有头发的人。A反动的 B热情的 C爱好和平的 D光头的 E搞笑的SAT填空考查的逻辑大概能分为两种，同义重复和反义重复。把握关键词然后根据感情色彩判断，同义重复前后感情色彩一致，反义重复则相反。如果词汇量低，可以先判断出一个空，然后用排除法选出答案。2、Although visitors initially may find touring the city by subway to be _,
