SAT阅读测试难在生词、偏词、怪词多。因此,国内考生在备考复习中有意识的增加英语词汇量,特别是SAT专有词汇显得非常重要。英语中常用的词根及前辍大约有30个,SAT备考学生应在不超过两周的时间内,熟记这30个前辍和词根。在SAT考试中,每一个考生都会在阅读中碰到不认识的生词。
建议考生用下列六个方法来破解这些生词:
1、在生词中辨认该词的前辍,并在试题的空白部分迅速记下前辍的含义;
2、在生词中辨认词根,并识别该词根的意思,前辍与词根的含义之合,在大多数情况下即为该词的词意;
3、要辨别出生词在句子当中的词性,例如:名词、动词、形容词等,这些生词在句子中与其他词的关系,是肯定还是否定的词意;
4、识别生词所在句子当中的相关词汇,相关词汇的含义可为辨别生词提供些线索;
5、考生要努力想一想这个生词在哪遇见过,在什么情况下遇见过等;
6、考生要把对生词所有的线索及判断出的词意整合到句子中,看看是否有效,在上下文当中是否具有可读性。
对中国考生而言,美国高考SAT阅读试题生词多、题量大。绝大多数国内考生的阅读考试成绩不超过600分,能够达到700分以上成绩的考生寥寥无几。国内考生即使在数学、写作的测试中达到优异的成绩,但在阅读部分的测试中不能取得700以上的分数,则考生的总分数不会太理想,很难被美国的常青藤大学录取并获得奖学金。如果突破生词这一关,SAT阅读的成绩就会有一个大的飞跃,获得理想的成绩。
