因为SAT考试没有单独的逻辑单题考试,所以SAT考试会在SAT阅读题目当中设计一定的逻辑题来考察考生的基本的思维能力,一般来说会出现逻辑题。逻辑题考察统计:

下面我们以假设题和类比题来重点讲解一下这类题的解决方法:
第一类:逻辑题假设
OG-P785:Jay, my physiotherapist, expressed himself similarly: Adaptation follows a different path in each person. The nervous system creates its own paths. You are neurologistyou must see this all the time.
The physiotherapists remarks reveal the assumption that
patients have completely control over the progress of their recovery
each neurologist follows a different path to understanding
all neurologists are aware of the nervous systems adaptability
the author is inadequately informed about the intricacies of the muscular system
some neurologists consider both healthy and injured brain processes to be parallel
前提是你是神经生物学家,结论是你一定会意识到这个过程,那么其中的假设,就是把两者相同的部分去掉,那么剩余的部分组成的一个新的论断即为正确选项,即:所有的神经生物学家都可以意识到这个过程。
第二类:逻辑题类比
真题上册-OC题:
Black holes are the most efficient engines of destruction known to humanity. Their intense gravity is a one-way ticket to oblivion, and material spiraling into them can heat up to millions of degrees and glow brightly. Yet, they are not all-powerful. Even super massive black holes are minuscule by cosmic standards. They typically account for less that one percent of their galaxys mass. Accordingly, astronomers long assumed that super massive holes, let alone their smaller cousins, would have little effect beyond their immediate neighborhoods. So it has come as a surprise over the past decade that black hole activity is closely intertwined with star formation occurring farther out in the galaxy.
Q: Which of the following most resembles the relationship between black hole activity and star formation as described in the passage?
A volcanic eruption on one continent results in higher rainfall totals on another continent.
Industrial emissions in one region lead to an increase an airborne pollutants in adjacent regions.
A drought in a wilderness area causes a significant loss of vegetation in that area
Decreased oil production in one country results in higher gas prices in oil-dependent countries.
Overfishing in a gulf leads to an increase in the population of smaller aquatic organisms.
这道题的关键是找到题目中类比的点,当读者理解了题目所表现的关系时,就可以抽象出这个题目类比的点了,即理论上不可能发生的实际却发生了,然后通读选项,只有A符合这个类比的点,其他的选项都是理论上可以发生,实际也发生这么一点。
