SAT阅读的三种常见题型

新SAT阅读题型主要分成三大类：informationand ideas(对文本信息的考察);rhetoric(对文章写作技巧的考察); synthesis(综合考察)。如果细分下来，新SAT阅读题型总总有18种。其中有一种非常重要的题型叫：Understanding relationship，我们暂且把它称之为“关系题”。下面来看下SAT阅读关系题中常见的几种关系。

1) Cause-and effect/sequence(因果/顺序关系)

　　What happens first?

　　What happened next?

　　These relationships are generally chronological in nature - perhaps a new technology has built on the innovations of previous technology, or a lawsuit cited in the passage came about as a result of a certain crime committed.

　　主要考察事情的前因后果以及发展先后顺序。

　　2)Comparison-contrast(对比/类比关系)

　　While trying to argue a point, an author may bring in another idea to either provide contrast or show similarity. Are these two things alike in any way? Or are they completely different? Do they support or refute the other?

　　主要考察两个观点之间的异同，二者是互为支持还是相互排斥。

　　3)Adding support(支撑关系)

　　Especially after the author makes some sort of claim, the passage will often offer evidence to support the claim. This may include citing a study or quoting an expert whose opinions agree with the author.

　　考察研究或者观点对作者观点的支撑关系。

　　4)Personal relationship(人物关系)

　　These relationships are between people mentioned in the passage. Are these two people related, or are they coworkers? Do they have similar views, or is the author showing us the difference betweentheir viewpoints?

　　考察人物身份关系以及二者所持观点的异同。

　　如何破解“关系题”

　　Step 1Find the two parts of the passage mentioned in the question.

　　在原文中找到题干所涉及的观点、事件或人物。

　　Step 2 Determine the relationship between the two situations or ideas (cause/effect, part/whole, comparison/contrast, claim/support)or people (parent/child, rival/rival, colleague/coworker).

　　根据上述提供的关系，判断观点、事件、人物二者的关系。

　　Step 3Eliminate any answer choices that do not fit the relationship you have determined, or that simply do not make sense in the context of the passage.

　　排除不符合原文所描述的关系的干扰项。

　　Step 4 Choose your answer from the remaining answer choices - whichever choice has more support from the passage.

　　锁定 佳答案。
