SAT简介及经典例题
SAT填空题详解一：sat填空ABC1.1 SAT 和SAT填空SAT（Scholastic Assessment Test）是由美国教育服务中心（Educational Test Service，ETS）组织的一项测试高中生学术能力的考试。
在很多中国同学眼中，SAT 被视为“价值数万的考试”，因为如果申请者能在SAT 考试中取得高分，就极有可能获得美国大学的高额奖学金，从而节省下上万人民币的留学费用。
除此之外，SAT 考试作为一种能力测试，可以让中国的高中学生通过准备此项考试加强自己的分析能力、逻辑能力和归纳能力，为大学的学习打下一定的基础。
现行的SAT 推理考试一共包括三个部分：分析性阅读（Critical Reading）、数学（Mathematics）和写作（Writing）。
其中，分析性阅读包括两类题目，即阅读理解和句子填空。
1.2 SAT填空的特点句子填空思路独特，与正常的阅读理解迥然不同，他是一种文字与文字之间，概念与概念之间的逆向推理游戏，是众多考生望而生畏，觉得捉摸不透的体型之一。
中国考生往往对数理逻辑的正像推理轻车熟路，而对文字内部的逆向推理则非常陌生。
很多考生上了考场仍然误以为“读懂就行”。
试想，如果连句子主干的谓语动词都是一个空格，怎么可能阅读呢？我们过去经常做的政治、历史等学科的填空题是一种知识性填空题，比如要你填入攻陷巴士底狱的时间，或者萨拉热窝事件中被谋杀的公爵的名字等等。
此时，考题考察你的记忆能力，答案是你上场前记忆下来带到考场上去的。
而我们即将面对的sat填空，题目本身不涉及任何专业知识，否则不会来源于专业知识的记忆，永远来自题目内部，一言蔽之，答案都会在原句中重复。
我们需要做的只是在原句中将已提供出来的答案找出来而已。
1.3 考前准备词汇准备：绿皮书GRE红宝书巴朗词表技巧准备：课堂听讲+真题演练说明：1. 准备时间比较充足的话，选择GER红宝书，时间比较紧的话则采用绿皮书，巴朗词表做备用补充。

答案：0或15. 如果一个函数f(x) = 3x + 5，求f(-2)的值。
答案：-16. 一个长方形的长是10厘米，宽是5厘米，求它的周长。
答案：30厘米三、简答题7. 一个圆的周长是31.4厘米，求这个圆的直径。
解：根据圆的周长公式C = πd，我们有31.4 = πd。
解得d = 31.4 / π ≈ 10厘米。
8. 一个等差数列的首项是5，公差是3，求第20项的值。
解：等差数列的通项公式为an = a1 + (n - 1)d。
将首项a1 = 5和公差d = 3代入公式，得到a20 = 5 + (20 - 1) * 3 = 5 + 57 = 62。
9. 一个直角三角形的两条直角边分别是6和8，求斜边的长度。
解：根据勾股定理，斜边c的长度等于两直角边的平方和的平方根，即c = √(6² + 8²) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10。
四、解答题10. 一个工厂生产了1000个零件，其中5%是次品。
如果工厂决定只出售合格的零件，那么工厂将出售多少个零件？解：首先计算次品的数量，1000 * 5% = 50个。
然后从总数中减去次品的数量，得到出售的合格零件数量：1000 - 50 = 950个。
11. 一个投资项目预计在第一年结束时产生$10,000的利润，如果每年的增长率为5%，那么第三年结束时的利润是多少？解：使用复合利息公式计算，P = P0 * (1 + r)^n，其中P0是初始利润，r是增长率，n是年数。

Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front ofme. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowed. She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂I knew you’d go fast when you were ready.＂ No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase ＂kick up my heels＂at the end can be replaced by_________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛，这让作者感到兴奋，也感到虽然自己上了年纪，但是有一颗年轻的心。
