SAT阅读部分技巧
Manage your time
You may want to work on sentence completion questions first. They tend to take less time to answer than the passage-based reading questions. All questions are worth the same number of points regardless of the type or difficulty.
管理好你的时间
你应该先完成“句子填空题”,因为他们相对于“段落阅读题”来说不需要花费那么多的时间。不论题目的难度如何,每道题的分数都一样。
Question difficulty
The difficulty of sentence completion questions increases as you answer them in order. Reading questions do not increase in difficulty from easy to hard. Instead, they follow the logic of the passage.
题目难度
如果你按照顺序答题,“句子填空题”的难度是逐渐增加的。而“段落阅读题”则不是这样,他们的问题是跟着段落的逻辑来的。
Reading carefully iskey
The information you need to answer each reading question is always in the passage(s). Reading carefully is the key to finding the correct answer. Don't be distracted by an answer that may look correct but is not supported by the actual text of the passage(s).
仔细阅读是关键
其实所有题目的答案都在文章里。仔细阅读是找到答案的关键。千万不要被看似正确但在文章里找不到印证的选项所迷惑。
Let line numbers guide you
Reading questions often include line numbers to help direct you to the relevant part(s) of the passage. If one word or more is quoted exactly from the passage, the line number(s) where that quotation can be found will appear in the test question. You may have to read some of the passage before or after the quoted word(s), however, in order to find support for the best answer to the question.
让段落序号引导你
SAT的阅读题通常都有段落序号来指引你关注相关的段落。如果题目中直接引用了文章里的一个或多个词,那么被引用的文中段落的序号将会在题目中显示出来。当然你需要纵观上下文来找到最能印证答案的证据。
Reading passages
Do not jump from passage to passage. Stick with a passage until you have answered as many questions as you can before you proceed to the next passage.
按照顺序阅读
不要从这段跳到那段。从一段中尽量挖掘出最多的答案来,再读下一段。

Stuck on a word
If you don't know what a word means in a sentence completion or reading passage, consider related words, familiar sayings and phrases, roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Have you ever heard or seen a word that may be related to it?
卡在一个单词上了
如果在“句子填空题”或者“段落阅读题”中不知道一个单词的意思,那就想想相关的词。比如相关的说法和用法,词根,前缀或者后缀。想想有没有见过任何和这个(不认识的)词相关的词?

SAT写作部分技巧
Take advantage of explanations
Look at the explanations for each correct answer when you use practice materials. Even if you got the question right, you may learn something from the explanation.
好好利用(练习题答案的)解释
当你在使用SAT的练习材料时,注意仔细看看每一个正确答案的解释。即使你答对了这道题,你也总能从解释中学到新东西。
Looking good
Read the entire assignment. It's all there to help you. Every essay assignment contains a short paragraph about the issue.
看清楚了
把整个作文题目看清楚。题目其实很有用,因为每道题目中都包含和话题相关的一段话。
Develop your own point of view
Imagine that you are talking to the author of the assignment paragraph about the issue. Would you argue with him or her,or agree? What other ideas or examples would you bring up? Answering these questions will help you develop your own point of view.
发展自己的观点
要假设自己就在和出题的人对话。你会同意他的观点吗?还是不同意?你能想到其他观点或者例子吗?回答这些问题能够帮助你发展自己的观点。
Less is more
Develop your point of view with one or two thoughtful, well-developed examples versus multiple oversimplified examples.
集中火力
与其写很多过于简单的例子,不如在一个或者两个有见地、有逻辑的例子上集中精力。
It's ok to be you
There's nothing wrong with "I." You are asked to develop your point of view on the issue, not give a straight report of the facts. This is your opinion, so feel free to give examples that are meaningful to you, even ones from your personal life or experiences.
谈自己没问题
谈“我”没有问题。因为你的任务是针对题目发展自己的观点,而不是陈述事实。因为是你的观点,所以用对自己来说有意义的例子,甚至是个人的经历和体验,都是可以的。
Formula for success
There are no shortcuts to success on the SAT essay. You will not receive high scores on your essay just because it is long, or has five paragraphs, or uses literary examples.
成功的秘诀
SAT的写作高分没有捷径。仅仅把文章写长并无益处,仅仅写了5个段落,或者用很“文艺”的例子也不能保证高分。
Process of elimination
Eliminate the choices you are sure are wrong when you are not sure of the answer. Make an educated guess from those that remain.
排除法
当你不确定答案是哪个时,先排除你确定是错误的选项。用自己的学识在剩下的选项中做出选择。
