  下面SAT思为大家整理了2014年6月SAT写作真题,供考生们参考,以下是详细内容。

  Prompt 1

  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

  The discovery that someone we admire has done something wrong is always disappointing and disillusioning. Yet even when people we consider heroes have been tarnished by their faults, they are no less valuable than people who appear perfect. When we learn that an admired person, even one who is seemingly perfect, has behaved in less than admirable ways, we discover a complex truth: great ideas and great deeds come from imperfect people like ourselves.

  Assignment:

  Do we benefit from learning about the flaws of people we admire and respect? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

  Prompt 2

  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

  Some people say you should be content with what you have and accept who you are. But it is possible that too much self-acceptance can turn into self-satisfied lack of ambition. People should always strive to improve themselves and to have more in their livesfriends, things, opportunities. After all, where would we be if great people, both in history and in our own time, did not try to have more and to improve themselves?

  Assignment:

  Is it best for people to accept who they are and what they have, or should people always strive to better themselves? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

  Prompt 3

  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

  So-called common sense determines what people should wear, whom they should respect, which rules they should follow, and what kind of life they should lead. Common sense is considered obvious and natural, too sensible to question. But peoples common sense decisions may turn out to be wrong, even if they are thought to be correct according to the judgment of vast majorities of people.

  Adapted from Alain de Botton, The Consolations of Philosophy

  Assignment:

  Can common sense be trusted and accepted, or should it be questioned? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

  Prompt 4

  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

  Winning does not require people to be against someone else; people can reach their goals through cooperation just as well as they can through competition. Winning is not always the result of selfish individualism. People achieve happiness by cooperating with others to increase the happiness of all, rather than by winning at others expense. Ours is not a world in which the price of one persons happiness is someone elses unhappiness.

  Adapted from Gilbert Brim, Ambition

  Assignment:

  When some people win, must others lose, or are there situations in which everyone wins? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
