新SAT寫作:閱讀文章時我們讀些什麼
下面是培臻教育小編為大家整理的一篇關於新SAT寫作:閱讀文章時我們讀些什麼的文章,供大家參考,下面是詳細內容。
今天小編給考生們帶來一篇新SAT寫作備考文章:讀文章時我們要讀些什麼?這個問題你想過嗎?
一篇(好)文章里的每一句話都不是空穴來風,言下之意是各有各的作用。這句話對SAT寫作同樣適用,因為在寫之前,我們需要先讀一篇650-750詞的文章。而這篇文章的閱讀質量將在很大程度上決定後面的寫作質量。所以,在動筆寫之前希望大家建立良好的閱讀習慣。下面想結合兩篇新SAT寫作樣題選段細談。
問:當我們在讀文章的時候,我們要讀些什麼?
答:"是什麼"和"為什麼"。前者指每句話是什麼意思,後者指每句話在段落中的作用和聯繫,或每段話在全文中的作用和聯繫。
以下選取新SAT寫作樣題Let There Be Dark第一段演示。
原文
(S1) At my familys cabin on a Minnesota lake, I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes. (S2) I knew night skies in which meteors left smoky trails across sugary spreads of stars. (S3) But now, when 8 of 10 children born in the United States will never know a sky dark enough for the Milky Way, I worry we are rapidly losing nights natural darkness before realizing its worth. (S4) This winter solstice, as we cheer the days gradual movement back toward light, let us also remember the irreplaceable value of darkness.
分析
(S1) At my familys cabin on a Minnesota lake, I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes. (S2) I knew night skies in which meteors left smoky trails across sugary spreads of stars. 【回憶兒時黑暗純粹】(S3) But now, when 8 of 10 children born in the United States will never know a sky dark enough for the Milky Way, I worry we are rapidly losing nights natural darkness before realizing its worth. 【現狀堪憂,與前兩句形成對照】(S4) This winter solstice, as we cheer the days gradual movement back toward light, let us also remember the irreplaceable value of darkness.【勿忘黑暗的價值=段落主旨,S1-3的對照是為了引出S4所作的鋪墊。】
整段結構:S1-2 VS S3 → S4
以下是新SAT寫作樣題Bag Ban Bad for Freedom and Environment第7段。
原文
(S1) The description of plastic grocery bags as "single-use" bags is another misnomer. (S2) The vast majority of people use them more than once, whether for lining trash bins or picking up after their dogs. (S3) (And still other bags are recycled.) (S4) Since banning plastic bags also means preventing their additional uses as trash bags and pooper scoopers, one unintended consequence of the plastic bag ban would likely be an increase in plastic bag purchases for these other purposes. (S5) This is just what happened in Ireland in 2002 when a 15 Euro cent ($0.20) tax imposed on plastic shopping bags led to a 77 percent increase in the sale of plastic trash can liner bags.
分析
(S1) The description of plastic grocery bags as "single-use" bags is another misnomer. (S2) The vast majority of people use them more than once, whether for lining trash bins or picking up after their dogs. (S3) (And still other bags are recycled.) 【塑料袋不是一次性的,會被多次循環使用】// (S4) Since banning plastic bags also means preventing their additional uses as trash bags and pooper scoopers, one unintended consequence of the plastic bag ban would likely be an increase in plastic bag purchases for these other purposes.【禁止商店提供塑料袋的後果之一是購買量增加】 // (S5) This is just what happened in Ireland in 2002 when a 15 Euro cent ($0.20) tax imposed on plastic shopping bags led to a 77 percent increase in the sale of plastic trash can liner bags. 【一個實例,愛爾蘭曾經對塑料袋徵稅導致銷量上升。】
段內邏輯關係:S1-3是S4的前提,或者S4是S1-3的結論。邏輯是因為塑料袋會被多次使用,所以禁止商店提供只會導致人們被迫購買,畢竟使用需求在那裡。S5是用一個實例支持前方純理論分析的正確。
整段結構:S1-3 → S4 ←S5
所以本段重點是S4:one unintended consequence of the plastic bag ban would likely be an increase in plastic bag purchases for these other purposes.遺憾的是,三分之二的學生判斷為S1。
很多考生之所以文章理解出偏差,就是因為沒有分析清楚段落句群內部的關聯。有的雖然判斷正確,但不知道為什麼是這樣,單純憑語感碾壓。這些都不是好習慣。希望大家在平時寫作備考中能夠多多分析文章中句子的含義及作用。
