Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Passage OneAs many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can't remember where we put the keys just a moment ago or an old acquaintance’s name. As the brain fades, we refer to these occurrences as “senior moments.” While seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.Neuroscientists are increasingly showing that there’s actually a lot that can be done. It turns out that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental workouts can significantly improve our basic cognitive functions. Thinking is essentially a process of making neural connections in the brain. Because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and fluctuate according to mental effort.A new company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program”, called Lumosity, to actually help people improve and regain their mental sharpness. Lumosity is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. That’s because they have integrated these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program keeps track of your progress and provides detailed feedback on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly modifies and enhances the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing - much like an effective exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.Apparently it works. In randomized, controlled clinical trials Lumosity was shown to significantly improve basic cognitive functions. One study showed students improved their scores on math tests by 34 percent after using Lumosity for six weeks. The company says its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory, increased alertness and awareness, elevated mood, and better concentration at work or while driving.While many of the games at Lumosity are free, a modest subscription fee is required to use the full program over the long term. However, Lumosity is currently offering a free trial of their program to new users so that you can see how well it works before you decide to subscribe. The company believes the results will speak for themselves.51.What can we learn about “senior moments”?A. They are nothing to be worried about.B. They happen to each middle-aged person.C. They mostly happen to the elders.D. They are signs of declining memory.52. Neuroscientists are beginning to find that ________.A. cognitive functions can be improved by mental effortB. intelligence varies with the amount of physical exerciseC. “senior moments” are quite useful at workD. our brain and muscles should be trained differently53. From Paragraph 3, it can be concluded that Lumosity ________.A. is just an online place to exercise your mental skillsB. requires the users to keep doing the same gamesC. is a set of exercises intended for the mentally-retardedD. can help users make improvement in the brain54. Clinical trials have proved that Lumosity ________.A. is better than reportedB. is highly effective and beneficialC. should be under strict controlD. leaves much to be desired55. Which of the following statements is true about Lumosity?A. Access to these games is quite expensive.B. Chronic users have to pay for the access to the games.C. All the games at Lumosity are free of charge.D. Access to the games is limited to subscribers.56. The main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A. present the new findings of neuroscientistsB. remind the middle-aged to take physical exerciseC. describe how Lumosity came into beingD. introduce how braining training makes you smarterPassage TwoAccording to psychology pr ofessor Carol Dweck of Stanford University, “Praising children for being smart can backfire.”If this doesn't get the attention of Millennium parents, I’m not sure what will. It is my observation that so many parents today believe that if their child appears to be the least bit “advanced” for his age, he’s destined to be the next Albert Einstein, Tiger Woods, or Bill Gates.It’s human nature for mom and dad to show much admiration for their child and dish out praise for accomplishments achieved. The problem is, according to this study, parents may not be doing the best thing by praising their child for his intelligence.Dweck’s research involved junior high students in New York and concluded that “classroom performance improved when her study subjects believed the brain is like a muscle that can grow.”Students who “focused on the learning process (effort, concentration or strategies used) asked for feedback and did better in all subjects.” Feedback such as, ‘You did well because you worked so hard’ or ‘You used so many descriptive words to make this story interesting’ can encourage children to try new things, as they are being rewarded for their effort. When the ‘time and effort’ strategy is being positively reinforced, the child will probably use the same strategy next time they are learning something. Over time new strategies can be introduced, so the child’s repertoire of strategies is broadened.Dweck goes on to say that “they (students who improved) performed better because their success was being measured by effort, not by test scores or grades.” Parents should praise effort, not just results. Children who received praise about their innate abilities (talents or strengths) had less chance of trying new things and became anxious and under performed as things became more difficult. That is one of the greatest dangers to continually praising children for whatever they do in order to falsely raise a child’s self-esteem.What are mom and dad to do? Offer genuine praise and encouragement for effort and successes, butbalance this with setting appropriate expectations and following up with consequences when the child falls short due to laziness. Don’t make excuses. Your child will better face the challenges life has to offer in the future when you as a parent recognize the efforts he is making today.57. The underlined word “backfire” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A. create some miraclesB. produce an undesirable resultC. be negligible to some extentD. be motivating and inspiring58. Which of the following can be considered proper feedback?A. You did really well on this spelling test, you must have spent hours practising your words.B. Oh, honey, you’re so smart—that failing grade won’t matter anyway.C. This is a wonderful painting. What a great artist you are!D. You did really well on this spelling test, you are very clever.59. A child who is praised for his effort and strategy is likely to ________.A. have his learning strategies increasedB. feel inferior to the smart childrenC. have falsely high self-esteemD. expect more praise and encouragement60. Praising a child for his talent may _______.A. encourage him to try new thingsB. motivate him to greater effortsC. leave him less prepared for challengesD. put his life at risk in case of failure61. The author’s advice to parents is________.A. to expose the child to greater challengesB. not to expect too much of a childC. to forbid the child to make any excusesD. to combine praise with constructive criticism62. Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?A. Never Praise Your Child for Any of His AchievementsB. Praise Your Child, But Not for Being SmartC. How to Reward a Child for His EffortD. Praise –a Must for the Child’s FuturePassage ThreeAs a new matchmaker, internet dating sites promise two cutting edges: a vastly greater choice of potential partners and scientifically proven way of matching suitable people together.The greater choice is unarguable. But does it lead to better outcomes? And do the “scientifically tested methods” actually work? These are the questions asked by a team of psychologists led by Eli Finkel.The researchers’ first observation is how any of the muc h-boasted partner-matching methods actually works. Many firms preserve their intellectual property as trade secrets, and there is no reason why internet dating sites should not be among them. But this renders claims of effectiveness impossible to test objectively. There is thus no independent scientific evidence that any of these methods does enhance the chance of their hitting it off when they meet.It is possible to test the value of a claim that they match people with compatible personality traits. However, Dr Dyrenforth asked more than 20,000 people about their relationships and assessed their personalities. Members of couples with similar personalities were indeed happier than those without. But the difference was just 0.5%.Surely, the chances of finding that magic other are increased by the second thing internet dating brings: a multitude of choice. But here, too, things are not as simple as they might seem.An assumption behind all consumer decisions is that what people think they want is what they actually need. And the data suggest people are not good at knowing what they want. One of Dr Finkel’s own studies showed that when they are engaged in speed dating, people’s stated preferences at the beginning of the process do not well match the characters of the individuals they actually like. When faced with abundant choices, people pay less attention to characteristics that require thinking and conversation to evaluate and more to matters physical. Choice, in other words, dulls the critical faculties.Fi nkel’s conclusion is that love is as hard to find on the internet as elsewhere. You may be just as likely to luck out in the local café, or by acting on the impulse to stop and talk to that stranger on the street whose glance you caught, as you are by clicking away with a mouse and hoping that, one day, Cupid’s arrow will strike.63. The effectiveness of the dating sites is difficult to verify scientifically because they ________.A. keep their intellectual property secretB. have two cutting edgesC. adopt strange matching methodsD. are good at deception as evidenced64. The expression “hit it off” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. say goodbyeB. get along wellC. get hurtD. dislike each other65. Dr. Dyrenforth found that couples with different personalities ________.A. were much less happy than those with similar personalitiesB. were more likely to divorce than those with similar personalitiesC. were almost as happy as those with similar personalitiesD. were much happier than those with similar personalities66. According to Paragraph 6, the abundance of choices offered by the dating sites ________.A. can increase the chance of finding ideal partnersB. helps people to become better aware of what they wantC. diverts attention from other mental qualitiesD. leads to exclusive concern with one’s appearance67. Finkel’s conclusion is that _______.A. it is impossible to find true love on the Internet wherever you areB. you are as likely to find love through chance encounters as via the InternetC. you are more likely to find love through these online dating sitesD. you can find love more easily by talking to a stranger on the street68. The researchers’ attitude towards thes e Internet dating sites is ________.A. suspicionB. confidenceC. objectionD. recommendationPassage FourMany countries have made it illegal to talk into a hand-held mobile phone while driving. But the latest research provides further confir mation that the danger lies less in what a motorist’s hands do when he takes a call than in what the conversation does to his brain. Even using a “hands-free” device can impair a driver’s attention to an alarming extent.Melina Kunar of the University of Warwick and Todd Horowitz of the Harvard Medical School ran a series of experiments in which two groups of volunteers had to pay attention and respond to a series of moving tasks on a computer screen that were reckoned equivalent in difficulty to driving. One group was left undistracted while the other had to engage in a conversation about their hobbies using a speakerphone. As Dr Kunar and Dr Horowitz report in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, those who were making the equivalent of a hands-free call had an average reaction time 212 milliseconds slower than those who were not. That, they calculate, would add 5.7 meters to the braking distance of a car traveling at 100kph. They found that the group using the hands-free kit made 83 percent more errors in their tasks than those who were not talking.They also explored the effect of simply listening to something—such as a radio programme. For this they played a recording of the first chapter of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. Even though the test subjects were told to pay attention because they would be asked questions about the story afterwards, it had little effect on their reaction times. The research led by Frank Drews of the University of Utah suggests the same thing is true of the idle chatter of a passenger. Dr Kunar reckons that having to think about responses during a phone conversation competes for the brain’s resources in a way that listening to a monologue does not.Punishing people for using hand-held gadgets while driving is difficult enough, even though they can be seen from outside the car. Stopping people making hands-free calls would probably be impossible—especially because more and more vehicles are now being fitted with the necessary equipment as standard. Persuading people to switch their phones off altogether when they get behind the wheel might be the only answer. Who knows, they might even come to enjoy not having to take calls. And they’ll be likelier to arrive in one piece.69. Which body part is most affected by talking into a cell phone when driving?A. Hands.B. Feet.C. Eyes.D. The brain.70. In Kunar and Horowitz’s experiments, the subjects who performed tasks while talking ________.A. reacted more quickly and made fewer mistakesB. reacted more quickly, but made more mistakesC. reacted more slowly, but made fewer mistakesD. reacted more slowly and made more mistakes71. According to Frank Drews, a chat with passengers ________.A. affects drivers more than a phone conversationB. affects drivers more than listening to a storyC. has less effect on the drivers than a phone conversationD. has less effect on the drivers than listening to a story72. The law forbidding the use of hand-held phones when driving ________.A. is necessary and feasibleB. has been frequently brokenC. will arouse heated debateD. has been widely observed73. The best hope of stopping people using hands-free phones lies with ________.A. the lawmakersB. car manufacturersC. drivers themselvesD. new technology74. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. inform people of the danger of using phones while drivingB. call on lawmakers to make new road laws on the use of cell phonesC. offer suggestions for drivers who use cell phones while drivingD. weigh the benefits and harms of using phones when drivingPassage FiveIn these times of fast media and ever-growing Internet, we are under so many external influences that it is anything but easy to think for ourselves. Unless you are a cunning, very aware person, you most likely don't even know when your thinking is not your own.Not that all outside influence is bad to forming your own views, but being unable to think for yourself can make you miserable at best, or a puppe t of someone else’s programming, at worst.Admittedly, we are all born into societies or cultures where the norms and customs are already established. We have little choice but to conform to what is already in place. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however, it can be confining and controlling if we accept everything blindly and never question the status quo.Does this mean all of your ideas can be original and unlike everyone else’s? Not at all!Nor does it require being contrary and argumentative just to be defiant or stand out. To think for yourself means that whatever opinions you hold will be well thought out and arise from。

附上网址:先考托福还是先考SAT?sat毕竟对考生的词汇量和阅读能力的要求特别大。

仅从词汇量要求来说,托福对单词量的要求为5000-8000,而SAT的要求则达到了12000,所以我的建议是如果本身的基础不太好,建议先学托福打基础,等到T95分左右时开始sat。

对于一些托福轻松破百的大神们,完全可以先攻sat,回过头来再看托福,简直就是切豆腐了。

3. SAT准备一般要多长时间?个人觉得一般高中生拥有了托福的基础下还需要半年不到的时间,高二下半学期可以开始着手准备了。

但是对于阅读量和词汇量的积累其实早就可以开始了,建议可以早点接触比较简单的原版书籍,也可以吧托福,SAT,GRE词汇早点背起来。

4. 要不要去裸考或者试考?我个人的建议是不要,因为发生过无数学生因为分数进步太大,最终分数被delay或者cancel的悲剧,这种情况下你能做的只有重考或者官司,到最后花费的是自己不必要的精力。

想要试下水当然可以,具体方法后面会提到。

2012年考研英语(二)阅读 text 3 精读精讲

2012年考研英语(二)阅读 text 3 精读精讲

2012年考研英语(二)阅读 text 3 精读精讲In Text 3 of the 2012 English Postgraduate Entrance Exam (Test Two), the author delves into the impact of digital technology on human memory and cognition. The passage explores how the ubiquity of digital devices has altered the traditional modes of information processing and retention. It raises thought-provoking questions about the potential consequences of relying on digital tools for memory augmentation. Let's delve into a comprehensive analysis of the text, examining its key arguments and implications.The author begins by highlighting the profound transformation brought about by digital technology in contemporary society. With the advent of smartphones, search engines, and social media platforms, individuals have unprecedented access to vast amounts of information at their fingertips. This ease of access has revolutionized the way we interact with knowledge, fundamentally reshaping our cognitive processes.Central to the discussion is the concept of "digital amnesia" – the phenomenon wherein individuals rely on external digital devices to store information, leading to a decline in their ability to retain and recall knowledge. The text cites studies indicating that people are increasingly outsourcing their memory to digital tools, relying on search engines like Google to retrieve information instead of committing it to memory. This reliance, while convenient, raises concerns about the long-term implications for human cognition.Moreover, the passage explores the potential consequences of digital amnesia on education and intellectual development. Traditional modes of learning, which prioritize memorization and recall, may be supplanted by digital methods that prioritize quick access to information over deep understanding. As a result, there is a risk of diminishing critical thinking skills and analytical abilities among individuals who rely excessively on digital devices for information retrieval.Furthermore, the text delves into the broader societal implications of digital amnesia. It suggests that the erosion of individual memory may have far-reaching consequences for cultural heritage and collective knowledge. By outsourcing memory to digitalarchives, there is a risk of losing the richness and depth of human experience preserved through oral tradition and cultural practices. Additionally, the reliance on digital platforms for information dissemination raises concerns about data privacy, reliability, and the potential for manipulation by external actors.In conclusion, Text 3 offers a sobering reflection on the impact of digital technology on human memory and cognition. While the convenience of digital tools is undeniable, their pervasive influence raises important questions about the fragility of human memory in the digital age. As society grapples with the challenges posed by digital amnesia, it is essential to critically evaluate the role of technology in shaping our cognitive processes and to safeguard the integrity of collective knowledge for future generations.。

sat 英语译文

sat 英语译文

sat 英语译文The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is a standardized exam that is widely used in the United States as part of the college admissions process. The SAT is designed to measure a student's readiness for college-level work, and it is a crucial factor in determining a student's chances of being accepted into their desired college or university. One of the key components of the SAT is the English section, which tests a student's proficiency in reading comprehension, writing, and language skills.For many students whose first language is not English, the SAT English section can be particularly challenging. These students may struggle with the nuances of the English language, the complex vocabulary, and the unfamiliar cultural references that are often included in the test questions. As a result, many non-native English speakers seek out resources and strategies to help them improve their performance on the SAT English section.One of the most important strategies for non-native English speakers is to focus on improving their overall English language skills. Thismay involve taking English language classes, practicing reading and writing in English on a regular basis, and immersing themselves in English-language media such as books, movies, and television shows. By building a strong foundation in the English language, students can better understand the content and structure of the SAT English section and improve their chances of achieving a high score.Another important strategy is to familiarize oneself with the format and content of the SAT English section. This may involve taking practice tests, reviewing sample questions, and studying the types of skills and knowledge that are tested on the exam. By understanding the structure and expectations of the SAT English section, students can better prepare themselves and develop effective strategies for tackling the different types of questions that may appear on the test.One of the key skills that is tested on the SAT English section is reading comprehension. This involves the ability to understand and analyze written passages on a variety of topics, ranging from literature and history to science and current events. To improve their reading comprehension skills, students can practice reading a wide range of texts, both fiction and non-fiction, and work on developing their ability to identify the main ideas, supporting details, and overall structure of a passage.In addition to reading comprehension, the SAT English section alsotests a student's writing and language skills. This includes the ability to recognize and correct grammatical errors, as well as the ability to revise and improve written passages. To prepare for this aspect of the test, students can practice writing essays and short responses, and work on developing their ability to identify and correct common grammar and usage errors.Another important aspect of the SAT English section is the vocabulary component. The test often includes questions that require students to understand the meaning and usage of complex vocabulary words. To improve their vocabulary skills, students can study lists of common SAT vocabulary words, practice using these words in their own writing, and work on developing strategies for inferring the meaning of unfamiliar words from context.Overall, the SAT English section can be a challenging and daunting task for non-native English speakers. However, with the right strategies and preparation, these students can improve their performance and increase their chances of achieving a high score on the exam. By focusing on improving their overall English language skills, familiarizing themselves with the format and content of the test, and developing effective strategies for tackling the different types of questions, students can set themselves up for success on the SAT English section and increase their chances of being accepted into their desired college or university.。

SATSubjectTest

SATSubjectTest

SATSubjectTestSAT Subject Test 是美国大学理事会( College Board )为美国高中生举办的全国性专科标准测试。

考生的成绩是美国大学录取新生的重要依据。

1994年开始,大学理事会把中文正式列入其中,为学习中文的学生增加了一项得分的科目。

美国外语教学非常注重学生对生活语言的实际应用能力。

所以SAT考试内容都是和日常生活的食、衣、住、行、娱乐有关。

SAT中文测验一共有八十五道选择题,共分为三部份:听力(30题)、语法(25题)、阅读(30题)。

听力部份考题是用录音带播出,考卷上没有文字。

语法部份是一般生活中使用的语句。

每一题都分别以正体字、简化字、汉语拼音及注音符号四种型态列出,考生只需会其中一种就能作答。

阅读部份是以真实数据为考题例如:招牌、时刻表、布告栏、天气预测、菜单、名片、日记、便条、书信等等,这些真实数据是用中文(正、简体),问题是用英文来问,全都是选择题。

SAT 中文测验的测试对象( Target Group )是完全没有中文语言背景的中学生,他们在美制中学上过二年至四年的中文课程。

每一次SAT 中文测验的试卷都有一页是考生语言背景调查问卷,主办单位根据考生回答的数据,抽出所有Target Group 考生的答卷,再以该次Target Group 学生的总成绩和比照历届 Target Group 累积的总成绩制定出评鉴全体考生成绩的「评分基准」,所以考生应该认真回答语言背景调查问题。

如果程度高,有中文背景的考生误填成 T arget Group,就会造成该次考试的评分基准数字升高,全体考生分数(200分~800分)相对降低的结果。

SAT中文测验的考生成绩单共有四项分数(Score)和百分位(Percentile)。

请参阅手册中的「考生成绩单及计分方法说明」。

至于美国高中最常用的课本,根据美国中、小学教师协会的统计最常用的课本包括:· Far East Chinese for Youth 远东「少年中文」· Practical Chinese Reader I, II,实用汉语· 2. NI HAO 你好 (Australia)· HAN YU 汉语· Integrated Chinese 中文听说读写· Zhongguo Tong 中国通· Chinese Primer 中文入门 (Princeton)· Communicating in Chinese(Yale Univ.)·SAT2的考试范围有多大?难度怎么样?要得怎样的分才算优秀?我仅考过数理化,范围与高中理科范围基本差不多,甚至有部分超出。

sat写作范文SAT Writing SampleThe SAT writing section is a crucial part of the exam, as it tests your ability to express ideas clearly and effectively. In this article, we will provide you with a sample SAT writing essay to help you understand the format and expectations of the test.Prompt: Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?In today's society, questioning the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority is more important than ever. While some may argue that blindly following authority figures is the best course of action, I firmly believe that questioning authority is essential for progress and positive change.First and foremost, questioning authority encourages critical thinking and independent thought. When individuals are encouraged to challenge the status quo, they are more likely to come up with innovative solutions to complex problems. For example, throughout history, many groundbreaking scientific discoveries and socialadvancements have been made by individuals who dared to question the prevailing beliefs of their time.Furthermore, questioning authority helps to prevent abuse of power and corruption. When people in positions of authority are held accountable for their actions, they are less likely to engage in unethical behavior. In a democratic society, it is the responsibility of citizens to question the decisions of their leaders and ensure that they are acting in the best interests of the public.In addition, questioning authority fosters a culture of transparency and open communication. When leaders know that they will be held to a high standard and their decisions will be scrutinized, they are more likely to engage in honest and open dialogue with the public. This can lead to greater trust between the government and the people, as well as more effective and responsive leadership.Some may argue that questioning authority can lead to chaos and disorder. However, it is important to note that questioning authority does not mean disregarding it entirely. Rather, it means holding authority figures to a high standard and ensuring that their decisions are well-reasoned and in the best interest of the community.In conclusion, questioning the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority is not only important, but necessary for a healthy and functioning society. By encouraging critical thinking, preventing abuse of power, and fostering open communication, questioning authority is essential for progress and positive change. As citizens, it is our responsibility to hold our leaders accountable and ensure that they are acting in the best interests of the public.。
