新东方在线SAT整理了2022年SAT考试回忆,包括亚太地区和北美地区,考情解读包括SAT阅读、SAT数学、SAT语法等考试内容,今天带来的是2022年8月亚太SAT考情回顾:阅读—历史,希望对同学们有所帮助!
SAT阅读—历史本次历史文章选取了Ralph Waldo Emerson 的Letter to President Van Buren 。
(原文请参考https://emersoncentral.com/texts/miscellanies/letter-to-president-van-buren/)。
在此信件中,爱默生提出了反对将Cherokee Indians 从Georgia 州迁出。爱默生的文章特征(或者更准确地说,很多19世纪历史文章的特征)是,反复使用重复和反问句。
如下选段使用了重复:
“In the name of God, sir, we ask you if this be so. Do the newspapers rightly inform us? Men and women with pale and perplexed faces meet one another in the streets and churches here, and ask if this be so. We have inquired if this be a gross misrepresentation from the party opposed to the government and anxious to blacken it with the people. We have looked in the newspapers of different parties and find a horrid confirmation of the tale. We are slow to believe it. We hoped the Indians were misinformed, and that their remonstrance was pre-mature, and will turn out to be a needless act of terror.“
本段中,Emerson 反复使用we +verb这样的形式,来表现出人们对于把印第安人迁出他们领土的不可置信。对于此类段落,一般来说重复的语句在信息上是大致相同的。
所以同学们在处理类似信息时,如果计时阅读压力比较大,比如某一句长难句(We have inquired if this be a gross misrepresentation from the party opposed to the government and anxious to blacken it with the people.)没有完全理解,不要回读,继续坚持往下读,因为后面的句子和前面句子信息基本一致(we are slow to believe it)。
