SAT單詞講義3:SAT主考單詞和伴考單詞.

(三)SAT對(duì)主考單詞和伴考單詞要求的程度

1. 對(duì)主考單詞的要求: (1) 我們先看一道填空題: Far from viewing Jferson as skeptical but enlightened intellectual, historians of the 1960’s portrayed him as _______ thinker, eager to fill the young with his political orthodoxy while censoring ideas he did not like. A) an adventurous B) a doctrinaire C) an eclectic D) a judicious E) a cynical 這道題很多同學(xué)都錯(cuò)選E,是因?yàn)楹芏嗤瑢W(xué)都這樣記單詞,cynical中文意思是犬儒主義,然后犬儒主義又似懂非懂,而且覺(jué)得這個(gè)答案比較親切,比較面熟,就選了cynical.這顯然是沒(méi)有達(dá)到對(duì)主考單詞掌握的程度,主考單詞要求你對(duì)每一個(gè)單詞除了知道中文意思之外,還要知道英文釋義,并盡可能運(yùn)用英文釋義來(lái)記憶這個(gè)單詞的應(yīng)用場(chǎng)景.那么對(duì)于這幾個(gè)單詞,我們應(yīng)該在以后的學(xué)習(xí)中達(dá)到這樣的程度: doctrinaire: certain that your belis or opinions are correct and unwilling to change them也是表示“教條的”，這種人的特點(diǎn)就是教科書(shū)的東西就是對(duì)的，而教科書(shū)外的東西都是錯(cuò)的.所以挺符合這道題的意境. cynical: believing the worst of human nature and motives. 我們?nèi)丝赡芏加衏ynical的時(shí)候，特別是高中生升學(xué)壓力大，然后某段時(shí)間呢，正好從班級(jí)第二一下子考了四十多名，而且這時(shí)你又諸事不順，去吃飯丟錢(qián)包，做公交被嘲笑，于是你就開(kāi)始批判這個(gè)社會(huì)，開(kāi)始無(wú)理由的埋怨你的家庭，毫無(wú)理由的發(fā)脾氣，注意這時(shí)你可能處在cynical的境地。 (2)我們?cè)倏匆坏篱喿x題目 OG-592-16 I am not an adept aesthetician, and I could not presume to analyze Martha’s sense of design or approach toward design. But I believe she dealt with the elements of line and direction with the instincts of a mathematician or physicist, adding to each their emotional relations. Question: The passage above are characterized, respectively, by

disclaimer and assertion

invocation and dinition

apology and confession

authority and hypothesis

rebuttal and analysis

Disclaimer：a rusal to confirm the truth of a statement 否認(rèn) 注意 could not presume to表示不敢妄加…的意思，所以很對(duì)應(yīng)disclaimer。Assertion是個(gè)很簡(jiǎn)單的單詞，但而且情景也很簡(jiǎn)單。這里I am not, I could not presume to-----disclaimer；I believe---- assertion

2.對(duì)伴考單詞的要求 伴考單詞一般不會(huì)影響你做題,但會(huì)影響你理解文章,從而使你無(wú)法快速的解題.所以如果你伴考單詞也掌握的很熟練的話(huà),那么你做題的速度還有對(duì)文章理解的準(zhǔn)確程度馬上就上來(lái)了,可以說(shuō)只有益處沒(méi)有壞處. 但對(duì)伴考單詞的要求不像主考單詞那么高,要求掌握道非常精微的程度,對(duì)伴考單詞你只要知道意思即可. 如下面的這個(gè)例子: OG-865 Deeming that a serene and unconscious contemplation of him would best beseem me, and would be most likely to quell his evil mind, I advanced with that expression of countenance, and was rather congratulating myself in my success, when suddenly the knees of Trabb’s boy smote together, his hair uprose, his cap fell off, he trembled violently in every limb, staggered out into the road, and crying to the populace, “Hold me! I’m so frightened!” feigned to be in a paroxysm of terror and contribution, occasioned by the dignity of my appearance. As I passed him, his teeth loudly chattered in his head, and with every mark of extreme humiliation, he prostrated himself in the dust. 我們看一下Trabby’s boy這個(gè)家伙的一系列動(dòng)作,都是伴考單詞 smote 猛然彎曲; stagger 蹣跚; paroxysm 發(fā)作; prostrate 撲倒 如果你知道這些單詞的意思,無(wú)疑會(huì)讓你更形象的理解好這段文章,而且很有利于后面一個(gè)題目的解決. With a shock he became aware of me, and was severely visited as bore. Question: In context, the word “visited” most nearly means

called on

shared an experience with

resided temporarily with

haunted

afflicted

你如果理解好了這個(gè)情景,那么這個(gè)單詞題是非常容易的,因?yàn)檫@一系列動(dòng)作都印在你腦子里了.
