全面认识sat阅读社科类文章

新SAT文章的阅读社会科学历史人文背景知识依然不是必要的但补充背景知识有促进作用历史和人文的陌生感会比较强烈，较难理解自然科学和社会科学的话题更具有普适性，更易理解这是一篇人文类的小说This passage is adapted from Jane Austen, Emma, originally published in 1815.大家需要读引言，因为引言可以提供背景知识Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.这一段描述了小说主角的性格特点“She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father, and had, in consequence of her sister’s marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses, and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection.这一段结尾引出了另外一个人物“Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse’s family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss Taylor’s judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.这一段描述了两人的关系“The real evils indeed of Emma’s situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.埋下伏笔，暗示未来有变化“Sorrow came—a gentle sorrow—but not at all in the shape of any disagreeable consciousness. —Miss Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor’s loss, which first brought grief. It was on the wedding day of this beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any continuance. The wedding over and the bride people gone, her father and herself were left to dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself to sleep after dinner, as usual, and she had then only to sit and think of what she had lost.变化终于发生了，主角意识到自己失去了什么“The event had every promise of happiness for her friend. Mr. Weston was a man of unexceptionable character, easy fortune, suitable age and pleasant manners; and there was some satisfaction in considering with what self-denying, generous friendship she had always wished and promoted the match; but it was a black morning’s work for her. The want of Miss Taylor would be felt every hour of every day. She recalled her past kindness—the kindness, the affection of sixteen years—how she had taught and how she had played with her from five years old—how she had devoted all her powers to attach and amuse her in health—and how nursed her through the various illnesses of childhood. A large debt of gratitude was owing here;“but the intercourse of the last seven years, the equal footing and perfect unreserve which had soon followed Isabella’s marriage on their being left to each other, was yet a dearer, tenderer recollection. It had been a friend and companion such as few possessed, intelligent, well informed, useful, gentle, knowing all the ways of the family, interested in all its concerns, and peculiarly interested in herself, in every pleasure, every scheme of her’s;—one to whom she could speak every thought as it arose, and who had such an affection for her as could never find fault.变化给主角带来的痛苦“How was she to bear the change? —It was true that her friend was going only half a mile from them; but Emma was aware that great must be the difference between a Mrs. Weston only half a mile from them, and a Miss Taylor in the house; and with all her advantages, natural and domestic, she was now in great danger of suffering from intellectual solitude. She dearly loved her father, but he was no companion for her. He could not meet her in conversation, rational or playful.痛苦没有解决“The evil of the actual disparity in their ages (and Mr. Woodhouse had not married early) was much increased by his constitution and habits; for having been a valetudinarian* (follow link to endnote) all his life, without activity of mind or body, he was a much older man in ways than in years; and though everywhere beloved for the friendliness of his heart and his amiable temper, his talents could not have recommended him at any time.她和父亲的关系这是一篇历史类的小说This passage is from Andrew Carnegie, "Wealth," originally published in 1889. Arriving penniless in Pennsylvania from Scotland in 1848, Carnegie became one of the richest people in the UnitedStates through the manufacture of steel.“The problem of our age is the proper administration of wealth, that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relationship. The conditions of human life have not only been changed, but revolutionized, within the past few hundred years. In former days there was little difference between the dwelling, dress, food, and environment of the chief and those of his retainers. . . . The contrast between the palace of the millionaire and the cottage of the laborer with us today measures the change which has come with civilization.作者指出了时代问题，同时描述了社会背景“This change, however, is not to be deplored, but welcomed as highly beneficial. It is well, nay, essential, for the progress of the race that the houses of some should be homes for all that is highest and best in literature and the arts, and for all the refinements of civilization, rather than that none should be so. Much better this great irregularity than universal squalor. Without wealth there can be no Maecenas.* (Follow link to endnote.) The “good old times” were not good old times. Neither master nor servant was as well situated then as to day. A relapse to old conditions would be disastrous to both—not the least so to him who serves—and would sweep away civilization with it. But whether the change be for good or ill, it is upon us, beyond our power to alter, and, therefore, to be accepted and made the best of. It is a waste of time to criticize the inevitable.作者发表观点，认为改变没有不好，人们应该接受必然的到来“It is easy to see how the change has come. One illustration will serve for almost every phase of the cause. In the manufacture of products we have the whole story. It applies to all combinations of human industry, as stimulated and enlarged by the inventions of this scientific age. Formerly, articles were manufactured at the domestic hearth, or in small shops, which formed part of the household. The master and his apprentices worked side by side, the latter living with the master, and therefore subject to the same conditions. When these apprentices rose to be masters, there was little or no change in their mode of life, and they, in turn, educated succeeding apprentices in the same routine. There was, substantially, social equality, and even political equality, for those engaged in industrial pursuits had then little or no voice in the State.作者详细描述过去的制造业，用以解释变化如何到来“The inevitable result of such a mode of manufacture was crude articles at high prices. Today the world obtains commodities of excellent quality at prices, which even the preceding generation would have deemed incredible. In the commercial world similar causes have produced similar results, and the race is benefited thereby. The poor enjoy what the rich could not before afford. What were the luxuries have become the necessaries of life. The laborer has now more comforts than the farmer had a few generations ago. The farmer has more luxuries than the landlord had, and is more richly clad and better housed. The landlord has books and pictures rarer and appointments more artistic than the king could then obtain.作者指出制造业的改变带来的前后对比“The price we pay for this salutary change is, no doubt, great. We assemble thousands of operatives in the factory, and in the mine, of whom the employer can know little or nothing, and to whom he is little better than a myth. All intercourse between them is at an end. Rigid castes are formed, and, as usual, mutual ignorance breeds mutual distrust. Each caste is without sympathy for the other, and ready to credit anything disparaging in regard to it. Under the law of competition, the employer of thousands is forced into the strictest economies, among which the rates paid to labor figure prominently, and often there is friction between the employer and the employed, between capital and labor, between rich and poor. Human society loses homogeneity.作者指出了这种变化的代价：劳资冲突“The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is also great; but the advantages of this law are also greater still than its cost—for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train.作者指出了这种变化是利大于弊的*Endnote.Gaius Maecenas (70 to 8 B.C.E.) was a great patron of the arts.。

11月新SAT考试阅读部分考情回顾发布时间:2017-11-07 编辑:少冰11月份的新SAT已经结束了。

本次新SAT阅读部分考试就文章难度和题目难度两方面而言, 不同篇章和不同题目的难度有升有降, 总体持平。

下面是小编为大家整理收集的关于11月新SAT考试阅读部分的考情回顾，欢迎大家的阅读。

首先为大家讲解的是本次考试阅读部分考试文章内容情况：1、Literature小说，难度大于OG以及5,6,10月难度产生于结构问题。

小说选自Elizabeth Gilbert的Sternman。

小说讲述了小姑娘在上寄宿学校对过去生活的怀念。

而这种怀念其实是假的，她只是觉得在学校中与其他孩子的格格不入。

选段最后又描述了她和父亲出海打lobster的情节。

虽然讲述的内容为大量的叙述，但是由于夹杂插叙性质的描写以及对话，而且截取的位置相对诡异，所以给很多考生们造成了理解上的困难。

2、History历史类，难度与OG持平但是低于5月6月的历史双篇对比阅读。

此次史政类文章主要讲的是英国借鉴法国大革命的经验教训要求人民安分不要革命。

建国纲要的篇目这篇文章的难度并不是特别大，选自Samuel Taylor Coleridge 的一篇演讲。

相信考过的同学一定对dough-baked patriot这个叙述印象深刻了吧。

观点清晰好懂。

文章长难句不是很多，没有大量的排比、反问、双重否定等现象，减少了阅读的难度。

3、Social science社科类，略低于10月。

社会科学选自Joshua Greene的Moral Tribes。

主要讲解了人们的公正性很容易被self-interest 所影响。

全文首先通过一个报纸的调查问卷展开文章，指出人们在不同的角色下很容易做出不同的自认为公正客观的选择4、Science科技类，Male animal以及female的之间的关系对比。

单篇的科技文章难度和5，6，10月持平，单篇文章结构均较为清晰，通过实验证明研究结果，整体阅读难度不大。

进阶练04 社科文阅读10篇（最新热点题）（原卷版）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、社科文阅读阅读下面的文字，完成小题。

地球不断升温，打开了装满极端天气的“潘多拉魔盒”。

越来越多极端天气气候事件的出现，将对我们的生活产生多方面的影响。

世界银行副行长雷切尔·凯特曾表示：“21世纪的前十年，全球经济损失不断增加，这其中四分之三是由极端天气造成的。

”报告《细数2020年成本：气候崩盘的一年》罗列了发生在2020年的15个由极端气候引发的灾害性事件。

其中，横扫澳大利亚约20%土地的山火，不仅导致数万人流离失所，同时还使10万种野生动物遭殃，各类损失保守估计为50亿美元。

全球气候危机日益严峻，给国际社会造成了消极影响，其中最为严重的就是由气候变迁引发的粮食安全问题。

农业属于“敏感脆弱”型产业，大自然的任何变化都会波及农业生产，这使得气候安全和粮食安全处于“同一安全体”之中。

具体而言，气候变化对粮食安全的影响主要表现在以下三个方面。

首先，在粮食供给层面，极端天气频发导致粮食减产，降低了国际市场上流通的粮食数量。

全球变暖导致的旱灾频发，不仅导致农业灌溉用水日益短缺，也因水分的加速蒸发降低了土层的含水量，破坏了土壤肥力。

而沙尘暴和洪水的暴发，则会对耕地造成严重的侵蚀，加重土地盐碱化，造成庄稼枯萎或粮食质量下降。

同时，气候变化会造成农业生态系统失衡，易诱发虫害等次生危机。

此外，出于保障本国粮食安全的需要，在粮食歉收时，产粮国往往会采取紧缩型粮食政策，这威胁了全球粮食供应链的完整。

其次，在粮食获取层面，气候变化弱化了农民、妇女等弱势群体的经济基础，导致其粮食购买力下降。

判断一国粮食安全与否，仅从供给端考察远远不够，还需关注获取端。

因为即便全球有充足的粮食供应，但如果国民无法获取，则仍将被视为粮食不安全。

连续干旱或特大洪涝的暴发易使农民一年的耕种毁于一旦，没有可供外销的粮食，其经济收入必将受损，进而削弱其通过实现购粮多样化以改善营养状况的能力。

新SAT官方指南阅读第四篇全解析This passage is adapted from Virginia Woolf,Three Guineas.○C1938by Harcout,Inc.Here,Woolf considers the situation of women in English society.Close at hand is a bridge over the River Thames,an admirable vantage ground for us to make a survey.The river flows beneath;barges pass,laden with timber,bursting with corn;there on one side are the domes and spires of the city;on the other,Westminister and the Houses of Parliament.It is a place to stand on by the hour,dreaming.But not now.Now we are pressed for 5time.Now we are here to consider facts;now we must fix our eyes upon the procession-the procession of the sons of educated men.There they go,our brothers who have been educated at public schools and universities,mounting those steps,passing in and out of those doors,ascending those pulpits, preaching,teaching,administering justice,practicing medicine,transacting business,making 10money.It is a solemn sight always-a procession,like a caravanserai crossing a desert….But now, for the past twenty years or so,it is no longer a sight merely,a photograph,or fresco scrawled upon the walls of time,at which we can look with merely an esthetic appreciation.For there, trapesing along at the tail end of the procession,we go ourselves.And that makes a difference.We who have looked so long at the pageant in books,or from a curtained window watched 15educated men leaving the house at about nine-thirty to go to an office,returning to the house at about six-thirty from an office,need look passively no longer.We too can leave the house,canmount those steps,pass in and out of those doors,…make these humble pens may in another century or two speak from a pulpit.Nobody will dare contradict us then;we shall be the mouthpieces of the divine spirit-a solemn thought,is it not?Who can say whether,as time goes 20on,we may not dress in military uniform with gold lace on our breasts,swords at our sides,and something like the old family coal-scuttle on our heads,save that that venerable object was never decorated with plumes of white horsehair.You laugh-indeed the shadow of the private house still makes those dresses look a little queer.We have worn private clothes so long…But we have not come here to laugh,or to talk of fashions-men’s and women’s.We are here,on the 25bridge,to ask ourselves certain questions.And they are very important questions;and we have very little time in which to answer them.The questions that we have to ask and to answer about that procession during this moment of transition are so important that they may well change the lives of all men and women for ever.For we have to ask ourselves,here and now,do we wish to join that procession,or don’t we?On what terms shall we join that procession?Above all,where 30is it leading us,the procession of educated men?The moment is short;it may last five years;then years,or perhaps only a matter of a few months longer…But,you will object,you have no time to think,l you have your battles to fight,your rent to pay,your bazaars to organize.That excuse shall not serve you,Madame.As you know from your own experience,and there are facts that prove it, the daughters of educated men have always done their thinking from hand to mouth;not under 35green lamps at study tables in the cloisters of secluded colleges.They have not thought while they stirred the pot,while they rocked the cradle.It was thus that they won us the right to our brand-new sixpence.It falls to us now to go on thinking;how are we to spend that sixpence?Think we must.Let us think in offices;in omnibuses;while we are standing in the crowd watchingCoronations and Lord Mayor’s Shows;let us think…in the gallery of the House of Commons;in 40the Law Courts;let us think at baptisms and marriages and funerals.Let us never cease from thinking-what is this“civilization”in which we find ourselves?What are these ceremonies and why should we take part in them?What are these professions and why should we make money out of them?Where in short is it leading us,the procession of the sons of educated men?32.The main purpose of the passage is to(A)emphasize the value of a tradition(B)stress the urgency of an issue(C)highlight the severity of social divisions(D)question the feasibility of an undertaking正确答案：B分析：在文章中，Woolf问妇女们一系列问题。

同一套新SAT考题，阅读文章顺序不同，考分将差50分一套完整的新SAT真题试卷是由五部分组成的，阅读是第一部分，语法是第二部分，数学是第三和第四部分，最后一部分是作文。

这五部分的答题时间是三小时五十分钟，如果把考试中间十分钟的休息时间也算进去，那么新SAT的考试时间应该为四个小时。

阅读是新SAT考试的第一部分，也是最难的部分。

新SAT阅读要考五篇阅读文章，每篇文章配套的选择题在10道或者11道之间。

文章的题材分为小说、历史、社科、科技、美国建国文献、全球重大话题等等。

按文章的难易程度来划分，小说是最难的，其次是历史类和美国建国文献，再其次是社科和科技类阅读文章。

在新SAT正式考试中，这六类阅读文章的出题顺序是随机的，并不是由易到难，也不是由难到易。

考生在规定的65分钟时间内，不管难易，都要答完。

如果在正式考试中，第一篇的阅读文章是科技类或者社科类这些不太难的阅读文章，这样的文章出题顺序，对考生的压力并不大，也有利于考生的正常发挥。

但是，如果在考试中，考生遇到的第一篇阅读文章是小说，特别是那些意识流、抽象类的文学作品时，考生很可能一上来就晕了。

因此，在新SAT阅读考试中的同一套试卷，阅读文章的出题顺序不同的话，考试结果和考试分数也是不同的。

如果第一篇阅读文章偏难，那么阅读的总分就会有所下降；如果第一篇阅读文章是不太难的科技类文章，那么阅读总分就会有所提高。

在新SAT正式考试中，考生要面对的五篇阅读文章，可以不按照文章顺序答题，哪个简单就先答那个，这是没办法的办法。

更主要的、也是最根本的，考生务必要提高新SAT的备考能力，掌握新SAT的正确备考的方法。

备考能力务必要高于新SAT的考试要求，才能获取高分。

如果备考新SAT阅读考试的能力和方法没有得到提升，就算考生在考试中按照先易再难的顺序去答题的话，也不可能考取高分，正式考试的阅读分比模考成绩低出50分也是正常的。

新SAT官方指南阅读第九篇全解析This passage is adapted from Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s address to the1869Woman Suffrage Convention in Washington,DC.I urge a sixteenth amendment,because“manhood suffrage,”or a man’s government,is civil,religious,and social disorganization.The male element is a destructive force,stern,selfish,aggrandizing,loving war,violence,conquest,acquisition,breeding in the material and moralworld alike discord,disorder,disease,and death.See what a record of blood and cruelty the pages 5of history reveal!Through what slavery,slaughter,and sacrifice,through what inquisitions and imprisonments,pains and persecutions,black codes and gloomy creeds,thesoul of humanity has struggled for the centuries,while mercy has veiled her face and all hearts have been dead alike to love and hope!The male element has held high carnival thus far;it has fairly run riot from the beginning, 10overpowering the feminine element everywhere,crushing out all the diviner qualities in human nature,until we know but little of true manhood and womanhood,of the latter comparativelynothing,for it has scarce been recognized as a power until within the last century.Society is but the reflection of man himself,untempered by woman’s thought;the hard iron rule we feel alike in the church,the state,and the home.No one need wonder at the disorganization,at the fragmentary condition of everything,when we remember that man,who represents but half a complete being, 15with but half an idea on every subject,has undertaken the absolute control of all sublunarymatters.People object to the demands of those whom they choose to call the strong-minded,because they say“the right of suffrage will make the women masculine.”That is just the difficulty inwhich we are involved today.Though disfranchised,we have few women in the best sense;we 20have simply so many reflections,varieties,and dilutions of the masculine gender.The strong,natural characteristics of womanhood are repressed and ignored in dependence,for so long as man feeds woman she will try to please the giver and adapt herself to his condition.To keep a foothold in society,woman must be as near like man as possible,reflect his ideas,opinions,virtues,25motives,prejudices,and vices.She must respect his statutes,though they strip her of everyinalienable right,and conflict with that higher law written by the finger of God on her ownsoul.......[M]an has been molding woman to his ideasby direct and positive influences,while she, if not a negation,has used indirect means to control him,and in most cases developed the verycharacteristics both in him and herself that needed repression.And now man himself stands30appalled at the results of his own excesses,and mourns in bitterness that falsehood,selfishness, and violence are the law of life.The need of this hour is not territory,gold mines,railroads,orspecie payments but a new evangel of womanhood,to exalt purity,virtue,morality,true religion, to lift man up into the higher realms of thought and action.We ask woman’s enfranchisement,as 35the first step toward the recognition of that essential element in government that can only secure the health,strength and prosperity of the nation.Whatever is done to lift woman to her trueposition will help to usher in a new day of peace and perfection for the race.In speaking of the masculine element,I do not wish to be understood to say that all men are hard,selfish,and brutal,for many of the most beautiful spirits the world has known have been40clothed with manhood;but I refer to those characteristics,though often marked in woman,thatdistinguish what is called the stronger sex.For example,the love of acquisition and conquest,the very pioneers of civilization,when expended on the earth,the sea,the elements,the riches andforces of nature,are powers of destruction when used to subjugate one man to another or tosacrifice nations to ambition.Here that great conservator of woman’s love,if permitted to assert itself,as it naturally would 45in freedom against oppression,violence,and war,would hold all these destructive forces in check, for woman knows the cost of life better than man does,and not with her consent would one drop of blood ever be shed,one life sacrificed in vain.33.The central problem that Stanton describes in the passage is that women have beenA)denied equal educational opportunities,which has kept them from reaching their potential.B)prevented from exerting their positive influence on men,which has led to societal breakdown.C)prevented from voting,which has resulted in poor candidates winning important elections.D)blocked by men from serving as legislators,which has allowed the creation of unjust laws.正确答案：B分析：文章前3个段落讲述到：男性管理社会造成了社会的分裂和无序，并进而提到社会需要女性来参与管理。

托福阅读文章类型随着全球化的进程，越来越多的人选择参加托福考试，其中阅读部分是考生们最为头痛的一部分。

智 课 网 S A T 备 考 资 料新SAT阅读与ACT阅读对比及解读-智课教育出国考试ACT阅读和SAT阅读最大的区别在于ACT不是像新SAT需要深层次对于文章和语句做理解。

下面智课教育小编为大家介绍的就是新SAT阅读与ACT阅读对比及解读，希望对大家SAT备考有所帮助。

选择新SAT与ACT之深入探究--阅读首先还是让我们看一下ACT和SAT阅读分数换算表(注：以上换算表是根据新SAT官方指南和老SAT真题和ACT真题)这张表分别标明了ACT的阅读分数所对应的新SAT和老SAT的阅读分数，并且给出了相应的错题数量。

可以看出要达到ACT阅读的高分区，也就是 30-36分区域，是非常困难的，因为一共40题，容错率只有5题(就是说八题里面只能错一题)。

反观新SAT就简单得多了，阅读相应高分区 330-400分的容错率达到了惊人的11题，一共52题(五题里面能错一题)。

看到这里，同学们自然会问：这两种考试阅读容错率有那么大的差别， 那么这两门考试的阅读难度是不是也有很大不同呢?根据ACT的所有真题和新SAT的现有的真题以及第一次北美三月份的考试原题来看——并非如此!依照北美学生考完第一次新SAT的反馈来看，SAT阅读整体难度还略低于现有的ACT阅读。

所以学生就要问，为什么还有些人要选择ACT阅读呢?可能有两方面理由：1. 学生们选择ACT的目的并不是想在阅读上拉分，而是想通过另外三部分(语法，数学，科学)拉分。

2. 学生拥有非常快的阅读速度。

ACT四篇文章，涉及范围包括小说，社科，人文和自然科学， 文章的长度和文后的题目数量和新SAT相差无几，虽然文章难度略低于新SA T(根据学生的反馈大概是SAT文章难度的70%)，但是题目不像新SAT是顺序的，而是乱序的，并且最难的一点是ACT每篇文章的完成时间是平均8.5分钟(35分钟4篇文章)，而新SAT的每篇文章的完成时间是平均13分钟(65分钟5篇文章)。
