經(jīng)??荚嚨呐笥讯贾溃?strong style="font-size: 16px;">出題人“偷懶”,那是非常常見的事情。
比如一些題目在不同程度的改編之后,就變成了一道“新”題,這讓我們經(jīng)常能在SAT考試中遇到“似曾相識”的題目。
SAT為什么會出現(xiàn)重題的情況?這些重題變換的規(guī)律是什么呢?如何利用好SAT這種“改題”的情況呢?
#01 SAT的“舊題改新”
首先,SAT為什么會有這種“舊題改新”的情況呢?
一方面因為正在改革的初期,官方的題目儲備不夠,而出新題時間成本和經(jīng)濟(jì)成本都挺高的,所以在這種情況下,原題改編會是一種不錯的選擇。
另外一方面也是因為,同一個文本確實有很多不同的出題角度,通過類似的文本設(shè)置不同的題目,也能在省時省力(money)的情況下,達(dá)到預(yù)期的測試效果!
那SAT閱讀真題的變換,究竟有哪些“套路”呢?
我們把目前已有的1642道閱讀真題處理后發(fā)現(xiàn),去掉600道完全重復(fù)的題目,有1041道不重題。
在這1041道不重復(fù)的閱讀真題中,有701道題的題目,基本上都是有或多或少類似版本的。
通過對這701道題目中相似題的比對,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)了以下的SAT閱讀真題變換的基本規(guī)律——
#02 SAT重題規(guī)律
了解SAT的改題規(guī)律,可以幫助我們在備考過程中,更有效的反思錯題、總結(jié)經(jīng)驗、提升效率。
接下來我們就來詳細(xì)看一下,在每個題型中,SAT閱讀題目是如何變化的;先看一下詞匯題:
版本一:Text corpora such as the American National Corpus are enormous collections of electronically stored texts that can be used for empirical testing of hypotheses regarding how _________________ a word is in spoken and written English. For instance, one might have a guess about the incidence of the word "long," but only an analysis of a corpus can prove that "long" is the fifth most commonly used adjective.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. credibleB. pervasiveC. profoundD. assertive
答案:B
版本二:Text corpora such as the Bank of English are enormous collections of electronically stored texts that can be used for empirical testing of hypotheses regarding how ______ a word is in spoken and written English. For instance, one might have a guess about the incidence of the word "get," but only an analysis of a corpus can prove that "get" is the fifth most commonly used verb.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. pervasiveB. profoundC. credibleD. assertive
答案:A
通過這兩道題目的對比,我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn),出題人只是簡單的替換了一下無關(guān)緊要的細(xì)節(jié),大家正常應(yīng)對即可。
版本一:One way to _____ the importance of a scholar's research is to track how often other scholars refer to that research. For example, University of California-Berkeley economist Ulrike Malmendier, who studies behavioral economics, is among the world's most frequently cited researchers in her field, indicating that her work has been quite significant.
Which choice completes the text with most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. assessB. utilizeC. influenceD. undermine
答案:A
版本二:One way to _________________ the importance of a scholar's research is to track how often other scholars refer to that research. For example, Yale University economist Xiaohong Chen, who studies statistical methods in economics, is among the world's most frequently cited researchers in her field, indicating that her work has been quite significant.Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. increaseB. measureC. diminishD. vary
答案:B通過這兩個題目對比我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn),除了文本中無關(guān)緊要的細(xì)節(jié)變化之外,選項也發(fā)生比較大的變化。
那么通過選項的調(diào)整,其實是可以增加詞匯題的難度的!對于經(jīng)常遇到四個選項單詞三個都不認(rèn)識的同學(xué)來講,應(yīng)該很清楚這意味著什么!
版本一:Farmhouse Interior, painted in the realist style by Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch, depicts a peasant woman knitting at a table while a cat sits underneath. The realists' emphasis on accurately portraying the experiences of average working people was largely a rejection of the romantic style evident in many paintings by Martin Drolling, which instead _________________ their subjects' beauty or heroism while hiding all imperfection.Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. accentuateB. counteractC. rectifyD. obscure
答案:A
版本二:Hard Times, painted in the realist style by Hubert von Herkomer, depicts a family waiting by the roadside with their bundled possessions and emphasizes accuracy in its portrayal of the experiences of ordinary working people. This style largely ________________ the conventions of the romantic style evident in many paintings by Jean-Victor Schnetz, which instead accentuated their subjects' positive traits by, for example, placing them in staged settings with expensive looking decorations and presenting them with smooth, unblemished skin.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. extendedB. imitatedC. epitomizedD. rejected
答案:D
通過這兩道題目的對比,會發(fā)現(xiàn)文本依然有一些無關(guān)緊要的細(xì)節(jié)調(diào)整,但這次詞匯挖空的地方不一樣了。
所以考試的時候,同學(xué)們看到類似的題目不要激動,還是要謹(jǐn)慎細(xì)致的看題哦!
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. increaseB. measureC. diminishD. vary
答案:B
版本二:The fact that publications by Texas A&M University economist Catherine Eckel, who studies behavioral economics, are so frequently cited in other scholars work ______ the usefulness of her research for her peers other economists clearly find her studies valuable for their own scholarship.Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. distracts fromB. fluctuates withC. testifies toD. conflicts with
答案:C
這兩個版本的題目差異就算是非常大的了!雖然話題都是“論文被引用的次數(shù)與學(xué)術(shù)價值”之間的關(guān)系,文本的邏輯和題目都完全不一樣了,這在一定程度上可以算真正意義上的兩道題了;
但是,了解這個話題依然可以幫助我們提升對文本的理解和做題的速度,所以同學(xué)們還是要認(rèn)真的對待每一道真題呦。
整體上,我們可以看到遇到微調(diào)后的題目的概率還是不小的,所以大家積極熟悉題目、認(rèn)真對待真題還是非常重要。
當(dāng)然,看到熟悉的題目大家也不要激動,還是要按照正常做題步驟做題,避免被慣性思維誤導(dǎo),反而做錯題目。祝大家在SAT家族各類考試中都能取得好成績!
