盘点错误率90%的SAT真题

　　众所周知，SAT或ACT考试成绩在美国大学申请中占有一定的地位，尽管美国的大学并不是唯分数论，但是对于要求提供SAT或ACT考试成绩的学校来说，申请者如果能取得较好的SAT或ACT成绩就会为申请增加成功的砝码。

　　SAT2，亦称SATII，或SAT Subject，是美国大学录取应届高中生时采用的学业水平考试。SAT2考试采用全球统一试卷，因此其成绩具有全球可比性，是衡量不同地区学生的学业水平的重要参考，在录取实际操作过程中往往替代高中成绩单。不同于SAT的综合能力测试，SAT2是一种专项水平测试，考察学生某一科目的水平。目前SAT2的科目分为数学、科学、语言、英语、历史与社会科学五大类。其中数学类有数学一和数学二两门，科学类有物理、化学、生物三门，语言类有法语、德语、西班牙语、中文、日语、韩语、希伯莱语、拉丁语等十二门，英语类只有英语文学一门;历史与社会科学类有美国历史和世界历史两门。以上加起来共计二十门考试。目前北美地区每年有7次考试，分别在1月，3月，5月，6月，10月，11月，12月的第一个周六;世界其他地区3月没有考试，其他6次考试时间与北美相同。

　　SAT2在考取美国高中时不是必须的，有些好的大学也不要求，但是如果不考SAT2高中毕业想申请好的大学时就会受到很大限制。

　　SAT1和SAT2的总分分别是多少?SAT1和SAT2的总分都是2400分，SAT1写作阅读数学三门各800分，SAT2也是三门自选各800分。

　　这里小编为大家整理了老SAT真题/OG中错误率最高的知识点。大家现阶段完全不必担心新老SAT复习资料的冲突问题，新老SAT尚处于过度阶段，旧资料对新SAT考试仍有灰常大的指导作用。

　　1.Grammar & Math

　　(C) Finding a hypothesis as false, ascientist would try to develop

　　(D) A false hypothesis can have a scientistnow try to develop

　　(E) Hypotheses that are false can teach ascientist; they develop

　　ANSWER:

　　Q1: 这道语法题主要是很多同学不敢选B，认为B选项的failing表示同时发生，而根据逻辑语义又无法同时发生，所以failing是错误的，这里的failing表示的是伴随的一种状况。A选项有语法错误，C选项分号后应该是完整的句子，D选项和E选项的时态错误。

　　Q2: 这道题考察desirable和desirous的区别：desirous表示“渴望的”，其后加of，主语一般是人，表示某人对事物的渴望;desirable表示“值得得到的”，主语一般是物，或某件事。通过题意我们可以看出这里应该是desirable。

　　Q3: B. can have tried错误;C. wouldtry to错误;D. a false hypothesis做主语改变句子的逻辑意思，同时havesb do sth这个结构错误;E的they代表hypotheses，显然跟原文的意思相违背。

　　* 以下3题来自2005年10月Section 10

　　Q5. (RT0510_S06_Q11-W)

　　The cost of (A) safely disposing of thetoxic chemicals (B) is approximately (C) five times what the company paid (D)to purchase it. (E) No error

　　ANSWER:

　　Q5：这道题考察语法改错的一个原则，即不能改变句子原来的逻辑语义，原文的if和容易错选的C选项的逻辑语义是完全不同的，所以C是不正确的;其他选项都有语法错误。

　　Q6：考察语法常见的重复：imminent与happen inthe future是重复的，类似的考点还有: discovery& find; annual & every year; continue & go on等，最好不要在同一个句子中出现。

　　Q7：典型的语法错误--代词使用：这里面的代词指的是toxic chemicals，所以应该是them。

　　Q8. (RT0510_S05_Q20-M)

　　If j. k, and n are consecutive integerssuch that 0 < j < k < n and the units(ones) digit of the product jn is9,what is the units digit of k?

　　(A) 0

　　(B) 1

　　(C) 2

　　(D) 3

　　(E) 4

　　ANSWER:

　　Q8：利用穷举与试错的方法一个个实验，consecutive暗示了j与n之间相差1，我们计算1*3,2*4,3*5,4*6,5*7,6*8,7*9,8*0,9*1之后发现只有9*1才满足题目条件要求，所以k的个位(unitsdigit)应该是0。

　　* 以下4题来自2008年1月Section 8

　　Q1. (S02_Q03-错误率87.5%)

　　(A) a convoluted

　　(B) a culpable

　　(C) a succinct

　　(D) an enthralling

　　(E) a felicitous

　　ANSWER

　　Q1 这道填空题容易错的原因在于contain,check都是熟词僻意，都表示“抑制”的意思，类似的常考词汇还有: assume, appropriate, flag, volatile, table, smart, sweep,list,champion, visit, negotiate, dupe, coin, sap等.

　　Q2. 读完题干之后，我们可以看出两个空之间是同义词关系，同时应该是vehement的反义词，所以只能选择E选项。这道题的错误率比较高，可能是因为单词的原因。

　　Q3.offset by 被…抵消，所以应该选advance的反义词，只有regressive(后退的)可以满足。

　　Q4. 熟词僻意，arrest抑制。

　　Q5. its暗示取同，所以应该选intricacy的同义词，只能选A的convoluted。

　　* 以下2题来自2008年5月Section 7

　　Q6. (RT0805_S07_Q08-错误率85.28%)

　　The ------- of impact craters on Venussuggests that erosion may have smoothed its surface over the past billionyears.

　　(A) magnitude

　　(B) panoply

　　(C) spate

　　(D) ruggedness

　　(E) paucity

　　Q7. (RT0805_S07_Q07-错误率83.44%)

　　The crude animated effects -------projected images from seventeenth-century lantern slides have now beenrecognized as------- of modem film animation.

　　(A) complemented by .. antecedents

　　(B) forestalled by .. harbingers

　　(C) depicted in .. derivatives

　　(D) featured in .. replicas

　　(E) afforded by .. forerunners

　　ANSWER：

　　Q6：这道填空题错误比较多，更多的原因是对impactcrater(撞击坑)的不熟悉，或者对天文学知识的不熟悉，因为文后有“erosion may have smoothed its surface over the past billion years”就表明了撞击坑是很少的，所以选择paucity(低频词汇)

　　Q7：先从第二个空下手，只能选“先驱者”的同义词，而第一个空里面只能填afforded by，其他的选项都不适合。

　　* 以下2题来自2011年1月Section 3

　　Q8. (RT1101_S03_Q07-错误率87.76%)

　　The paucity of autobiographical documentsleft by the royal attendants has compelled historian Raul Salazar to ------ themotives of these courtiers from their------ rather than from any diaries orcorrespondence.

　　(A) stipulate .. accomplishments

　　(B) contemplate .. journals

　　(C) surmise .. deeds

　　(D) allege .. assertions

　　(E) elicit .. missives

　　Q9. (RT1101_S03_Q08-错误率83.67%)

　　The painter lamented the evanescence ofbeauty, even though she seemed in several of her works to have ------ it as itpassed and so ------ it for posterity.

　　(A) seized .. absolved

　　(B) vanquished .. perpetuated

　　(C) arrested .. preserved

　　(D) neglected .. established

　　(E) dispelled .. enshrined

　　ANSWER:

　　Q8：这道填空题主要难度在于文化差异以及对历史学研究的认知，第一个空大家都可以得出应该填写“推测”，所以stipulate, surmise, allege都是备选的单词，但第二个单词不太好选择，assertion比较容易排除，但是accomplishment和deeds之间应该选哪个?关键是哪个单词能够在历史学研究中和diary or correspondence构成对立，只有deeds比较适合，而accomplishment则相差太远。

　　Q9：这是一道典型的填空题，很多同学之所以没有做对，是因为arrest表示抑制。另外posterity表示“后代”的意思。
