  SAT改革之后,新SAT考试填空题取消了,但是对单词的考察却更深入了,直接表现在SAT阅读和语法题中。距离10月份的新SAT考试还有不到一个月的时间了,时间紧,任务重,大家分享SAT语法单词真题语境意义,借助真题来为大家解析语法真题中单词的意义,希望对大家的语法考试有所帮助。

新SAT语法真题中单词语境的意义你知道吗?

  例1:

  That is just the difficulty in which we are involved today. Though disfranchised, we have few women in the best sense;we have simply so many reflections, varieties, and dilutions of the masculine gender. (选自新版SAT OG test2 passage 4)

  As used in line 36, “best” most nearly means

  A) superior

  B) excellent

  C) genuine

  D) rarest

  这道题很难,难点几乎是在理解文本大意上。

  从文章主旨考虑,这是Elizabeth Cady Stanton的关于呼吁女性选举权的文章,支持女性地位提升的。所以本句的理解的态度方向首先要一致。

  从句意考虑,大意为:“那就是我们现在所处的困境。虽然disfranchised(剥夺公民权),我们几乎没有in the best sense的女性;我们仅仅有很多masculine gender(男性)的reflections (影像), varieties (变体)and dilutions(稀释)”。

  从句子逻辑考虑,因为有分号(;)存在,明显上下句是相等关系,解释关系。所以,没有in the best sense的女性,就等于,只有男性的影像,变体和稀释版本。所以言下之意为,in the best sense的女性,就不是男性影响和控制下的版本。所以,best sense的best只能选择C选项genuine (真实的,真正的,正版)。

  虽然暂时确定C,还需要检验其他三个选项。A选项的 superior和B选项的 excellent都直接犯了“单词本义”的陷阱,可以轻松排除。D选项的rarest(最罕见的)属于扯淡选项,除了体现出与best最高级一致外,没有一点符合。

  例2:

  line 1: Akira came directly, breaking all tradition. Was that it? Had he followed form- had he asked his mother to speak to his father to approach a go-between – would Chie have been more receptive?

  Line 65: “We have an understanding. Please don’t judge my candidacy by the unseemliness of this proposal. I ask directly because the use of a go-between takes much time…” (选自新版SAT OG test1 passage 1)

  As used in line 1 and line 65, “directly” most nearly means

  A) frankly

  B) confidently

  C) without mediation

  D) with precision

  首先,此题不难看出,考察的单词和选项的单词难度大大降低,都是常规单词。

  然后,很多学生会选A选项 frankly. 他们认为 line 1 说的是“Akria directly进来了,打破了所有的传统(go-between的传统)”,以及line 65原文中意思是 “我directly 问是因为用 go-between 的方法太浪费时间”,可以推测出“directly”这里可以译为本义“直接地”,在选项中,和“frankly”(坦白地) 的最贴近。

  然而,这样一思考,就进入SAT常设的陷阱了,因为在极少数的情况下,考察的单词在特定语境下,会直接是其最常见的本义。

  姑且不讨论directly 和frankly并不是在词意上最一致。就是连line 1第一句中将frankly带入 came directly,替换后成came frankly,也非常不到位。

  况且,我们一直强调的“根据上下文逻辑”来判断,主要寻找上下文的hint(逻辑提示),即有无类比(正关系),有无对比(反关系)。根据这个逻辑,directly的对比(反关系)其实就是go-between,因为不使用go-between就是came/ ask directly。Go-between这个传统在全文的语境下,不难看出就是找媒人提亲的意思,最接近就是mediation(中介,周旋)的意思。根据directly的对比关系是go-between,故正确答案应是C选项without mediation。

  例3:

  Parthenon

  Of all the ancient, sacred, and truly splendid buildings to visit, the Parthenon may just be the most treasured of all. A long time past, the Greeks built their apotheosis over a span of nine years atop the Acropolis of Athens as a tribute to Athena, the city's beloved patron goddess of war and reason. The temple itself was completed in 438 b.c, although decorative sculpting and engraving within the structure went on for several more years. Since then, the structure has served as temple, treasury, church, and most recently tourist attraction.

  23. Wtiich choice would most specifically describe how long ago the Parthenon was constructed?

  A) NO CHANGE

  B) More than 2t500 years ago,

  C) Many decades of ages past,

  D) In days gone by,

  根据上下文可以看出,Parthenon竣工于公元前438年,距今大概有2500年的历史,所以无论是原文中的A long time past,还是A,C,D的答案都太过模糊。答案选B,有木有很简单呢,然而在写作的过程中,我们常常会犯表述不清的错误。

  最佳答案: B
