新 SAT Essay 范文分析

新SAT写作题型解读本文以College Board给出的官方练习题“Let There Be Dark”为例，深入了解新SAT写作（Essay）题型的写作要求以及应对方法。

让同学们学会解读题干，了解写作评分标准。

接下来是新SAT写作题型解读，以“Let There Be Dark”（原文链接）官方练习题为例，给大家梳理写作需要大家注意的要点。

一.考试性质虽然新SAT写作的官方定位为「任选」（optional）项，但事实上，这只是针对拥有选择权的大学来说。

对于考生本身，就算目前所申请的学校不需要提供新SAT作文成绩，也不能保证之后申请的学校也不需要，所以早点通过可以有备无患，不必额外花钱重新参加一次考试，避免耗时耗力。

事实上美国排名靠前的大学（如普林斯顿、耶鲁）都明确提出要求考生提供新SAT写作成绩，这说明新SAT写作虽然名义上是「选考」，但对于那些想进名校的考生来说，实际上是「必考」。

退一步讲，而且就算考生申请的学校不要求提供新SAT写作成绩，如果附上，也算作加分项。

如此锦上添花的事，何乐而不为呢？新SAT写作共50分钟，在这段时间里，考生需要阅读一篇文章，并据此写出一篇逻辑严谨、结构清晰的分析性文章。

需要注意的是，考生本身不能对文章观点做出评判，只需要立足原文客观分析其论证过程即可，这是新SAT写作和老SAT写作最大的不同之处。

二.题干解读新SAT写作题目包括两个引导和一篇文章。

需要注意的是，两个引导部分的大部分内容是固定的。

引导1点明新SAT写作的三个层面，即考生需要从「论据」（evidence）、「逻辑」（reasoning）和「修辞」（stylistic or persuasive elements）三方面展开分析。

「论据」是作者用来证明观点成立的依据，包括事实、数据、实验结果、个人经历等；「逻辑」是作者的论证思路，即借助论据证明观点成立的过程。

「修辞」侧重作者的语言表达和情感激发对读者的说服作用。

关于SAT的优秀作文欣赏Prompt:All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions. Adlai Stevenson, speech at Princeton, 1954.Assignment:Do you agree with this statement? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your postion on this issue. Support your point of view with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.SAT Essay SampleI believe that progress is achieved by people that take unpoplar positions. To be popular often means trying to please everyone. Progress, on the other hand, comes from making difficult decisions that often dont satisfy everyone. Whether its politicians, parents, or even myself, progress has often come from making unpopular decisions.Many politicians have to make unpopular decisions. Abraham Lincoln is revered today but during his lifetime the Civil War was very unpopular. There was rioting over the draft and the destruction of lives and property wasnt popular either. But without the unpopular decisions he made it is hard to imagine what the United States would be like today.My parents also make unpopular decisions. One such decision was when they sent me to summer camp when I was 14.I didnt want to go but it turned out to be a terrific experience. I learned a lot about wildlife and nature. At the time it was not a popular thing to do but I really benefitted from it.。

SAT Essay优秀范文欣赏IM GOING RUNNING TODAY. I am not concerned about my calorie consumption for the day, nor am I anxious to get in shape for the winter season. I just want to go running。

I used to dislike running. If you dont win this game, youre all running five miles tomorrow, the field hockey coach used to warn, during those last days of October when the average temperature seemed to be decreasing exponentially. And so, oasionally, my grief-stricken team would run numerous miserable laps around the fields. At the end of these excursions, our faces and limbs would be numb, and we would all have developed those notorious flu-like symptoms; but the running made us better in the long run, I suppose. Nevertheless, I counted down the days until the end of the field hockey season, vowing never to put on a pair of running shoes again. Then I surprised myself by signing up for outdoor track in the second half of sophomore year. I was foolish to have believed that I could ever escape this insidious and magic addiction。

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:Assignment: Is there always another explanation or another point of view? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Essay 1:I admit with pride that I am a perfectionist. I see it as the force which motivates me to achieve high goals. I owe my good grades, my success as a dancer as well as my organized room to my drive to be perfect. However, others view my perfectionism as a f law. Others see me crying over the “B+”I received on the math test and blame my “emotional instability”, as they call it, on my perfectionism. Whether one considers it is a vice or a virtue depends on his or her point of view.May is AP test season and for me that means severely high levels of stress. I could be spotted walking down the halls of the school with my Barron’s AP World History book under my right arm and a highlighter in my pocket. It was imperative that I study hard enough to receive a grade of “5” on the test. All my stressing and constant studying gave me dark circles under my eyes and a head cold. One day, shortly before the test, my French teacher approached me and asked me if I was alright. I explained that I was just tired and stressed from studying for APs. She paused when I finished speaking. Then she stared me straight in the eye and said, “Everyone chooses their own poison.” I was dumbfounded. What did she mean? Then it dawned on me; she sees my drive for perfection in the spring that feeds my ultimate downfall. My perfectionism is my vice, according to her and yet all this time I thought it was my greatest virtue.Now I understand that my perfectionism is not “all good”; it was after all responsible for the lack of plenty of sleep as well as being responsible for my head cold. However, I maintain that it is not “all bad” either. I continued to study for the AP World History test and although the scores are not back yet, I have a hunch I did well on it. So is perfectionism a vice or a virtue? It depends on whom you are talking to.Essay 2:There is always a “however.” Each situation has its benefits and its drawbacks. In the field of market finance, we find a compelling example that supports this thesis.The Roaring Twenties was a decade during which the American economy saw a rapid boom. In fact, America’s bull markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange had become so financially inviting by 1927 that even America’s middle class poured its money into America’s financial forums. Unfortunately, on October 4, 1929 the Booming Twenties came to an abrupt halt when the New York Stock Exchange crashed.The crash had many negative consequences. Most notably, the stock market crash of 1929 launched America into the Great Depression, a time of starvation and unemployment for millions of American citizens. The widespread optimism of the 1920’s quickly turned into an almost suicidal pessimism. Indeed, the Great Depression represents a crippling consequence of the stock market crash of 1929.However, Franklin Delano Roosevelt established institutions and regulations to prevent future economic catastrophes. Cognizant of the Crash’s causes, such as pool corruption, overpriced stock values, and margin buying, Roosevelt implemented the Social Security Act, the FDIC, and stricter rules monitoring credit. His aggressive policies not only ameliorated the uncomfortable climate of the Great Depression, but also laid the groundwork for a safer, more successful economy.The American public also realized the many positive results of the stock market crash of 1929. In particular, American citizens now have an entirely different fiscal outlook from the one they had before the Crash. Speculators have proven to be more prudent and insightful, as they often research market trends before investing. Perhaps most importantly, American investors are not as easily swayed by popular optimism and eager advertisement.While the stock market crash of 1929 was the embryo of the Great Depression, the Crash also set the foundation for a sounder economy. If we recognize the good and the bad of the Crash, we are destined to make fewer economic mistakes.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. （OG2）: Is deception ever justified? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Essay 3:Deception is sometimes justified. When someone is trying to achieve an end, he or she must sometimes use deception as a means. On at least two occasions, the Confederate Army used deception in an attempt to overthrow the more powerful Union Army. Also in literature, Jay Gatsby uses deception to win over his true love.In the first major battle of the Civil War, The First Battle of Bull Run, the Confederate Army gained a neat victory over the Union using deception. Although the Union appeared to be winning the battle, General Stonewall Jackson was waiting with reserve troops. In fact, he surprised the overconfident Union Army, and drove them back with his delayed attack. Had Stonewall Jackson not used deception, the South would not have won that important battle of the Civil War.D eception was actually a major element in the South’s overall war strategy. Since they lacked resources and the manpower of the North, they had to make due with what they did have---cleverness. They used tactics such as fierce rebel yelling and false reports to make the North believe that there were more Confederate troops than there actually were. General McClellan of the North often hesitated to take action because he was always concerned about sending his men into certain death. The South’s façade worked for some time and they had the Union tricked out of attacking them.We also see the necessity of deception in F.Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby when the protagonist uses the façade of his mansion and his parties to impress his love, Daisy. To him, his only goal in love is to win her over, which goal drives him to become wealthy and buy a huge mansion. He holds huge drinking parties merely for the sake of attracting Daisy to his love. Gatsby, however, does not fit into high society. He merely uses these things to attract Daisy. To him, deception is necessary, or else he could not pursue true love for himself.On many occasions, deception is necessary. The South had to deceive the North, and Gatsby had to deceive himself and Daisy. For deception to be justified there must be some end that is necessary to achieve. However, deception must have a good cause. Enron’s recent deception was unjustified, because their end was to steal and to embezzle.The confederacy was defending its way of life and Gatsby was in pursuit of true love. Although deception was justified in these cases, mendacity in general should not be encouraged. Lying and stealing are forms of deception that lack a just end. Therefore, deception can be sometimes justified, but at other times not.Essay 4:“Honesty is always the best policy” may be a trite saying, but it holds an enormous amount of truth. Though deception often allows one to escape immediate repercussions, the truth will always emerge. In most situations, one will find that deception does not offer the same long-term benefits as honesty does.Sometimes deception occurs in the form of white lies. For instance, my cousin Joanne was invited to her friend’s wedding in Hawaii and she asked for my opinion on her dress. Her dress was a hideous creation; it looked like a mass of cabbages sewn together. But I smiled and told Joanne that the dress was beautiful anyway. How could I ruin her excitement over the dress? Looking back at that moment, I probably should have told her the truth, considering that the guests laughed at her. She had trusted me to give an honest, helpful opinion, but, instead, I led her to humiliation.With regards to more serious matters, however, deception can lead to more dire consequences. Cheating on a test, for instance, may result in failure of a class or expulsion from school. My brother had helped his best friend cheat on a math test, but confessed the truth to the teacher immediately afterwards. The teacher only forced the two boys to retake the test because she appreciated their honesty. If my brother had not approached his teacher, he might have been kicked out of school. Furthermore, my brother’s decision serves as an example of morality to his friend and other students. Thus, he saved his friend from more serious punishment, which would have been his justification for lying anyway.Despite these advantages to telling the truth, deception can still be rather tempting. For instance, how can one explain the death of a relative to an innocent child? Is it justified to lie to him in order to protect him from the harshness of reality? Should a child learn about war? If one gives children sugarcoated versions of the truth, they may feel even greater shock when they discover the facts. Deception is often a kind, protective gesture, but truth can prepare a child for the future. If revealed gradually, truth offers valuable knowledge.Thus, one can view deception as a sweet treat. It is like a cookie that satisfies hunger and gives immediate pleasure. However, the cookie will only cause poor health in the future. Similarly, deception appears to be a justifiable and sometimes even compassionate, but it only holds future problems.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.6)Assignment: Do memories hinder or help people in their effort to learn from the past and succeed in the present? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.Essay 5:Without our past, our future would be a tortuous path leading to nowhere. In order to move up the ladder of success and achievement we must come to terms with our past and integrate it into our future. Even if in the past we made mistakes, this will only make wiser people out of us and guide us to where we are supposed to be.This past year, I was auditioning for the fall play, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." To my detriment I thought it would be a good idea to watch the movie in order to prepare. For two hours I studied Elizabeth Taylor's mannerisms, attitude, and diction, hoping I could mimic her performance. I auditioned for the part of "Maggie" feeling perfectly confident in my portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor, however, I was unaware that my director saw exactly what I had been thinking. Unfortunately, I didn't get the part, and my director told me that he needed to see "Maggie" from my perspective, not Elizabeth Taylor's.I learned from this experience, and promised myself I would not try to imitate another actress, in order to create my character. Persevering, I was anxious to audition for the winter play just two months later. The play was Neil Simon's "Rumors," and would get the opportunity to play "Chris," a sarcastic yet witty role, which would be my final performance in high school. In order to develop my character, I planned out her life just as I thought it should be, gave her the voice I thought was right, and the rest of her character unfolded beautifully from there. My director told me after the first show that "Rumors" was the best work he'd ever seen from me, and that he was amazed at how I'd developed such a believable character. Thinking back to my first audition I was grateful for that chance I had to learn and to grow, because without that mistake I might have tried to base "Chris" off of someone I'd known or something I'd seen instead of becoming my own character. I utilized the memory of the Elizabeth Taylor debacle to improve my approach to acting and gave the best performance of my life so far.Essay 6:Memories act as both a help and a hinderance to the success of someone. Many people advise you to learn from the past and apply those memories so that you can effectively succeed by avoiding repeating your past mistakes. On the other hand, people who get too caught up with the past are unable to move on to the future.Elie Wiesel's memoir Night perfectly exemplifies the double nature of memories. Wiesel, a Jewish man, suffered heavily throughout the Holocaust and Night is rife with horrific descriptions of his experience. These memories help to spread the view of what life was like. Through recounting these memories, Wiesel is able to educate world readers about the atrocities committed in hopes that the same blatant violations of human rights are never repeated again. Through reliving the Holocaust through his writing, Wiesel was inspired to become proactive in the battle for civil rights. Some would point to his peaceful actions and the sales of his book and label him a success.Despite the importance of recounting such memories, Wiesel acknowledges the damage that memories can also cause. Following his liberation from the Auschwitz concentration camp, Wiesel was a bitter, jaded man. He could not even write Night until several years later. The end of the novel describes Wiesel's gradual but absolute loss of faith throughout the experience. His past experiences haunted him for several years, rendering him passive. It was not until he set aside his past that he could even focus on the future. Had he remained so consumed with the pain and damage caused in the past, he may never have achieved the success that he has attained.Overall, Wiesel's experiences exemplify the importance of the past as a guide. Wiesel's past experiences helped to guide him in later life, but it was not until he pushed them aside that he could move on. To me this means that you should rely on your past without letting it control you. Allow your past to act as a guide, while making sure that you are also living in the present and looking to the future.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:Assignment: Are people motivated to achieve by personal satisfaction rather than by money or fame? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.Essay 7:Even though we live in a capitalist society, I still cannot help but believe, despite my own cynicism, that people are more motivated to achieve something for personal satisfaction rather than monetary gains. Look at Chekov's short story, "The Bet." A man agrees to sacrifice fifteen years of his life in prison in exchange for a million dollars. Obviously his motivation for such an extreme bet is wealth, but by the end of the prison sentence, the man could care less about the money. After years of introspection, of reading Shakespeare, The Bible, and textbooks, the man actually comes to despise the money he once sought; the money he signed away fifteen years of his life for. He does not collect his money from the banker, he runs away to be on his own and continue to live the life of solitude he has learned to love, free of money and possessions.Also, in a psychology class, one of the first things students study when they come to the topic of motivation, is external stimulus versus personal drive. Any textbook will tell one that studies show that a child is more likely to put as much energy as possible into completing a task when it is something that makes him happy, than if he was doing it for a physical reward. A child is more likely to get good grades, if it makes him feel good about himself, than if his parents offer to pay him every time he makes the honor roll. I agree with this theory on motivation because I see it play out everyday in my life. If my older sister had been concerned with money and fame, which reality television tells us every night is important, she would have gone to college after graduating high school. She knew though, that school and learning did not make her happy, and she was not going to suffer through four more years of school just because a college degree could lead to a more successful job. Right now she does not make as much money at her job, but she likes her life and the way she lives; she has more fun answering phones and dealing with other people at work than she would behind a desk in a classroom. This past year I myself have been forced to look at my priorities as well. I have worked hard in school all my life and have made honor roll semester after semester, because I enjoy it. I have not filled up my schedule with classes I did not want because calculus and economics look good on a college transcript. I had a high enough GPA to join the National Honor Society, but I chose not to join because even though it might have impressed some admissions officers, it was not something that was going to make me happy. Instead I spend my time studying Creative Writing, Art History, and the other subjects I feel truly passionate about.There is a pleasure principle in psychology, which basically means that one will do whatever will make them most happy or least unhappy. I think that is true, and I feel that the happiness most people seek out is not about money or luxury. Maybe it looks like that from the media, because advertising says that people want to be like Donald Trump, but that is not real life. Real life is my next door neighbor who gardens as a second job for small fees because he loves to be outside, working with his hands in the nice weather. I am sure no one would mind winning the lottery, but to say that it is our primary motivator in life is sad and untrue. A person who is happy and making minimum wage is likely to live longer than someone who spends his or her life working sixty four hour weeks at a stressful job to make money hand over fist. Are some people very driven by money? Yes. Is that more important than the personal satisfaction that comes from doing something good? Literature, psychology, and our personal lives tell us no, and I hope it stays that way.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.3)Assignment:Are people better at making observations, discoveries, and decisions if they remain neutral and impartial? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.Essay 8：Objectivity by researchers has not, and probably never will be attained. People will always have biases; some will be created by cultural values and others by personal views. The search for objectivity lies in the realm of philosophy along with the search for reality. Even though objectivity can never be reached, people are better at making observations, discoveries, and decisions if they attempt to set aside their biases.As I have learned in my Theory of Knowledge class, perception and thought are intimately connected. While the same rays of light may enter two different peoples eyes, what they see may be very different. The brain takes the input from the eyes and processes it to form an image. That image is not the only thing the brain produces; it also provides extra information based on generalizations and bias. This unconscious addition of information changes the observation of an object. By attempting to reduce the addition of extraneous information being added to the observation, by being objective, a true observation of an object can be more closely approximated.Discoveries, especially in the scientific realm can be doubly affected by a lack of objectivity. Since scientific discoveries are based on observation, all of the problems associated with observation apply as well to discoveries. Additional problems occur in the analysis of data collected by a scientific experiment. In a recent experiment in physics class, almost all of the students in my class analyzed the data incorrectly. However, armed with the knowledge that zero percent error is never possible, we were satisfied with the results. Our personal belief in the validity of the method of analyzation we chose, and lack of objectivity, led to our incorrect discovery in the field of energy. A lack of objectivity can clearly be seen to be a problem in my last student council election as well. The most popular person was chosen for president, not the objectively best candidate. Since then, the president has done nothing for our school. If the people involved had attempted to set aside their biases and pursue the goal of objectivity, it is less likely that errors would have been made.Bias will always be a part of human life. It can, however, be limited in how much we let it affect us. The less we allow bias to influence, the more objective we are, the less likely we are to come to false opinions, discoveries, and bad decisions.。

Too Easy to RebelIn my mothers more angry and disillusioned moods, she often declares that my sisters and I are smarter than is good for us, by which she means we are too ambitious, too independent-minded, and somehow, subtly un-Chinese. At such times, I do not argue, for I realize how difficult it must be for her and my fatherhaving to deal with children who reject their simple idea of life and threaten to drag them into a future they do not understand.For my parents, plans for our futures were very simple. We were to get good grades, go to good colleges, and become good scientists, mathematicians, or engineers. It had to do with being Chinese. But my sisters and I rejected that future, and the year I came home with Honors in English, History and Debate was a year of disillusion for my parents. It was not that they werent proud of my accomplishments, but merely that they had certain ideas of what was safe and solid, what we did in life. Physics, math, turning in homework, and crossing the street when Hare Krishnas were on our sidethose things were safe. But the Humanities we left for Pure Americans. tips:感谢大家的阅读，本文由我司收集整编。

题目：DO ACTIONS, NOT WORDS, REVEAL A PERSON OR GROUP'S ATTITUDES AND INTENTIONS?庄子答卷：Both actions and words reveal attitudes and intentionsThe true attitudes and intentions of an individual person or a group of individuals will be not easily discovered if the person or the group calculatedly covers or hides them. The complexity of human beings is that they are able to deceive others. However, both the words and the actions reveal some of their true intentions, inclinations, and attitudes, depending on the knowledge, experience, and wisdom of the perceive.Words are able to convey the true attitudes. But at the same time, words can be well used as a means to deceive others or to hide the true intentions of the speaker. This is not necessarily lies. When one person or a group of persons clearly and unequivocally articulate his or their attitudes towards one or a series of social, economic, cultural, or religion problems, these words are used perfectly to convey the thoughts. For instance, when the Chinese president Hu Jintao clearly claimed that the problems in Tibet fall in the scope of Chinese domestic political and cultural issues, these words reveal the attitudes of his administration. But not in all cases humans are willing to entirely and clearly express their attitudes in the form of speeches or words. Under such conditions, words might lead the audiences to go astray. For example, in many cases, when a Chinese girl receives a bandle of rose from her boy friend, she will not use words in literal means. Rather she, not calculatedly, prefers to use words in figurative or even ambiguous senses. A particular but typical sentence in such case is “I hate you”. Paradoxically, when girls say the words, their actions show that they love the boys.As far as the relationship between actions and true attitudes is concerned, the role actions play are not much different from those of words. That is to say, the actions of a person and a group of persons have two opposite functions. On the one hand they might reflect or mirror the true intention or inclination. This is much common among children. When a child cries, the baby is not satisfied. But in thefield of political affairs, the situation might be totally reverased. For instance, when the Chinese King of Han Dynasity cried in front of his crew, he conveyed a complex sense and sensibility, attempting to cover not reveal his true attitude.As the means of conveyance or communication, both human language and human behavior have at least double functions. Therefore, it is presumptuous to conclude that actions reveal the true attitude while the words have no such a function. The fact is that the true attitudes or intentions of human beings can onlybe revealed by those who have rich experience, wisdom, and knowledge in language, psychology, and the like.备用例子：Another case in point is that when the great lecturer cried two hundred years ago: “Is life so dear? Or peace so sweet? Even to be purchased at the price of slavery and chains?...to give me the liberty or to give me the death!” He clearly stated his point that the people must work together, pray together, and struggle together to build the new country, an independent and interdependent sovereingty. This case once again demonstrates the power of words in expressing the attitudes of a group.以上是小编帮大家整理的新SAT写作范文，希望对大家的SAT备考有所帮助。
