SAT填空题解答技巧,今天为大家专讲一道题,很有代表性,希望给大家启发:
SAT填空题一:
The picture book Red Sings from Treetops _____ the changing seasons, with whimsical illustrations that _____ the colors, sounds, and tastes associated with different times of the year.
perpetuates, praise
provokes, detail
celebrates, castigate
inaugurates, belie
evokes, epitomize
大家都选择了哪个答案呢?很多同学会选择B。先不说B对不对,我们先来看看这个句子。
首先,通观整句话,这句话的意思是 由Treetops出版的图册Red Sings______了变幻的四季。本书有变化莫测的插图,这些插图_______了和一年四季相关的颜色、声音和味觉。 我们从 the colors, sounds, and tastes associated with different times ofthe year 可以推断出空格1应该填类似 引起、使想起 之类的单词。这里,我们可以看到provoke和evoke都有类似的意思。我们这样就把答案narrow down在B和E。
Red Sings是一本图册,且与季节相关;所以空格2应该填类似 表现、包含 之类的单词。这时候我们可以拿B和E比较:B选项的detail做动词时表示 详述 ,E选项的epitomize做动词时表示 精要概括 。作为一本图册,对于极具感官色彩的 颜色、声音和味觉 ,自然不想像理工科论文一样 详述 ,只能得其精要(epitomize)。所以:答案为:E
不选B不仅仅是因为detail和epitomize的区别,其实,provoke和evoke虽然都有 激起、唤起 的意思,但这两个词所表达的意思相去甚远。根据韦氏字典,provoke的意思是:
to cause the occurrence of : to make something happen
to cause to become angry, violent, etc.
而evoke的意思则是:
to bring into the mind
to cause to happen
所以,对于 唤起回忆,唤起一种感觉,唤起一种反应 的意思来说,evoke才是正确的词。provoke somebody往往表达的是 激怒某人 ,不合适在本题的句子中出现。
最后,Mike来和大家讲一讲本题中出现的一些SAT词汇和用法:
changing seasons和different times of the year意思一样,表示 一年四季
whimsical:奇特的,不寻常的,不严肃的
associated with...: 和...相关联
perpetuate:使持续
castigate:(严厉地)指责
好了,希望这道题能够让大家品味一道原汁原味的经典SAT试题,其实抓住了重点,一切都不是很难。
