劃線句功能題
SAT小說類文本考察劃線句功能題主要?jiǎng)澮韵氯N情況
1:劃線句為描寫句
思考方向:當(dāng)劃線句是描寫句的時(shí)候,它的主要功能是reinforce main idea,而這個(gè)mian idea就是文本所表達(dá)的中心內(nèi)容。
例1:
The following text is from Edith Wharton's 1905 novel The House of Mirth. Lily Bart and a companion are walking through a park.
Lily had no real intimacy with nature, but she had a passion for the appropriate and could be keenly sensitive to a scene which was the fitting background of her own sensations. The landscape outspread below her seemed an enlargement of her present mood, and she found something of herself in its calmness, its breadth, its long free reaches. On the nearer slopes the sugar-maples wavered like pyres of light; lower down was a massing of grey orchards, and here and there the lingering green of an oak-grove.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?
A It creates a detailed image of the physical setting of the scene.
B It establishes that a character is experiencing an internal conflict.
C It makes an assertion that the next sentence then expands on.
D It illustrates an idea that is introduced in the previous sentence.
解析:在該文本中she had a passion for the appropriate and could be keenly sensitive to a scene which was the fitting background of her own sensations是文本想要表達(dá)的中心句,同學(xué)們在讀句子中尤其是要抓住passion, appropriate, keenly sensitive, fitting background, own sensations等關(guān)鍵詞來提煉句子的主旨,劃線句的環(huán)境描寫襯托出了Lily的情感色彩,是對第1句主旨句進(jìn)行展開。
2:劃線句為中心主旨句
思考方向:小說中心內(nèi)容主要有主觀想法/情感色彩、人物形象、人物互動(dòng)等。
The following text is from Herman Melville's 1854 novel The Lightning-rod Man.
The stranger still stood in the exact middle of the cottage, where he had first planted himself. His singularity impelled a closer scrutiny. A lean, gloomy figure. Hair dark and lank, mattedly streaked over his brow. His sunken pitfalls of eyes were ringed by indigo halos, and played with an innocuous sort of lightning: the gleam without the bolt. The whole man was dripping. He stood in a puddle on the bare oak floor: his strange walking-stick vertically resting at his side.
Which choice best states the function of the underlined sentence in the overall structure of the text?
A It sets up the character description presented in the sentences that follow.
B It establishes a contrast with the description in the previous sentence.
C It elaborates on the previous sentence's description of the character.
D It introduces the setting that is described in the sentences that follow.
解析:劃線句中singularity直接就表達(dá)出了人物形象,后面的信息是對singularity進(jìn)行展開: 對hair的描寫,對eyes的刻畫,以及the whole man was dripping, his strange walking-stick等。
3:劃線句為修辭句
思考方向:明喻/直喻simile
三要素:本體/喻體/比喻詞
A like B
特點(diǎn):A和B兩者不一樣,是作者強(qiáng)行建立相似性。
A:main idea
B:supproting details
B的特點(diǎn)是為了強(qiáng)化A。
例1:
The following text is adapted from Indian Boyhood, a 1902 memoir by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman), a Santee Dakota writer. In the text, Ohiyesa recalls how the women in his tribe harvested maple syrup during his childhood.
Now the women began to test the trees-moving leisurely among them, axe in hand, and striking a single quick blow, to see if the sap would appear. The trees, like people, have their individual characters; some were ready to yield up their life-blood, while others were more reluctant. Now one of the birchen basins was set under each tree, and a hardwood chip driven deep into the cut which the axe had made. From the corners of this chip -at first drop by drop, then more freely-the sap trickled into the little dishes.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?
A It portrays the range of personality traits displayed by the women as they work.
B It foregrounds the beneficial relationship between humans and maple trees.
C It demonstrates how human behavior can be influenced by the natural environment.
D It elaborates on an aspect of the maple trees that the women evaluate.
解析:核心句是the women began to test trees. trees是本體,然后用people展開的喻體的特點(diǎn)來reinforce本體。
總結(jié):
小說在SAT中可以考的點(diǎn)比較多,但是每次考試的題目數(shù)量有限,不可能把所有的點(diǎn)全部覆蓋到,我們在學(xué)習(xí)中盡可能學(xué)完所有然后無論考試怎么出題都能hold住,如果大家想了解更多SAT小說的內(nèi)容,就來參加我們的寒假班吧!
