13.(A) NO CHANGE(B) box. From just a few primary colors,(C) box from just a few primary colors,(D) box, from just a few primary colors题目考点：Sentence Structure句子结构的考察答案：B解题思路：考生需要形成两个语法上完整标准的句子。
解析：A crowd of….. watercolor box.是一个完整的句子，而从from just开始是一个Kingman做主语的另外一个句子，所以中间要用句号隔开。
14.(A) NO CHANGE(B) parts: “king” and “man,”(C) parts “king” and “man”;(D) parts; “king” and “man”题目考点：Conventions of Punctuation标点符号的使用答案：B解题思路：考生需掌握句子中分级的关系的标点用法解析：B选项中parts后面使用的冒号，正确的表达了two parts和后面“king”和“man,”的关系，这两部分包括了king”和“man,”因此只有B选项中的冒号是最准确的表达。

大学委员会同时宣布，改革后的全新的SAT考试将在2016年春季开始实施，而改革后考试规范及样题将在今年4月16日发布。
改革后的SAT考试细则：1. 考察单词更具实用性：SAT词汇将不再有那些学生从没听过也不会再遇见的生僻词汇。
SAT将更加专注于那些学生会在今后会用到的常用单词。
2. (Evidence-based)论证式阅读和写作：学生会被要求用实证来支撑论点和答案，形式包括引用文章材料中的特定部分来论证学生所选择的答案。
无惧变革,独家解析新SAT官方样题
无惧变革，独家解析新SAT官方样题2016年适逢SAT改革年，在大家都对改革后的SAT感到迷茫时，College board刚刚发布的PSAT样题(PSAT是Preliminary SAT，SAT预考)无疑为我们指明了方向，让我们看清了新SAT 考察方式和题型变化。
本文将从阅读、语法、写作三个部分解读新样题。
下面是阅读、语法、写作三个部分的解读：阅读部分1.阅读选项从五个减少为四个，且答错不扣分。
2.阅读文章中加入了图表和数据分析，但是难度不大。
这篇文章加入了图表，而且图表难度并不大。
虽然PSAT难度不及SAT，但从这个图表我们大概也可以推测出SAT阅读的图表难度。
3.题目中开始出现“paired questions”，即让学生为上一题的选择提供依据。
如图中3-4题，第三题问Emma的成长经历是由于什么因素造成的，而第四题就要求为上一题的选择提供依据。
此类题目有难度，因为两道题目是有联系的，如果上一题选错，那么下一题也必然会选错。
语法部分最新的样题中语法考了四篇文章，44道题目，考生要在35分钟内做完题目。
这跟CB此前发布SAT的新考法是一致的。
通过分析样题我们可以看出，传统的考点例如主谓一致，时态等依然出现。
跟老SAT相比，新SAT有什么不同呢?下面时代焦点SAT语法老师带大家来了解一下新PSAT语法考察的新内容。
1.图表题新的语法题会在文章中给出一个图表，结合图表和文章的内容会出题目，让学生来概括图中数据的变化趋势。
图表题的难度并不大。
2.删/加句子题新的SAT会就文章中要不要添加或者删掉某个句子出题，并且给出理由。
综上，新SAT语法会更多地考察考生对于段落修辞甚至整篇文章脉络的把握，所以学生在备考的时候除了要备考传统的句法词法知识点之外，还要多注意分析文章的结构。
写作部分作文部分(Essay)是2016年SAT改革中变化最大的部分。
新SAT的写作部分要求学生先读一篇文章，然后对文章的内容以及表达方式进行评论。
2016年新SAT官方样题
2016年新SAT官方样题Critical Reading部分Time-25 minutes14 QuestionsQuestions 1-5 are based on the following passage.This passage is adapted from a speech delivered by Congresswoman Barbara Jordan of Texas on July 25, 1974, as a member of the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives. In the passage, Jordan discusses how and when a United States president may be impeached, or charged with serious offenses, while in office. Jordan’s speech was delivered in the context of impeachme nt hearings against then president Richard M. Nixon.Today, I am an inquisitor. An hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that I feel right now. My faith in the Constitution is whole; it is Line complete; it is total. And I am not going to sit here and be 5 an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction, of the Constitution.“Who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?” “The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which 10 proceed from the misconduct of public men.”* And that’s what we’re talking about. In other words, [the jurisdiction comes] from the abuse or violation of some public trust. It is wrong, I suggest, it is a misreading of the Constitution for any member here to assert that for a 15 member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the President should be removed from office. The Constitution doesn’t say that. The powers relating to impeachment are an essential check in the hands of the body of the legislature against。

2016年新SAT Essay要点剖析
As you read the passage below, consider how Dana Gioia uses• evidence, such as facts or examples, to support claims.• reasoning to develop ideas and to connect claims and evidence.• stylistic or persuasive elements, such as word choice or appeals to emotion, to add power to the ideas expressed.Adapted from “Why Literature Matters”by Dana Gioia. ©2005 by The New York Times Company. Originally published April 10, 2005.[A] strange thing has happened in the American arts during the past quarter century. While income rose to unforeseen levels, college attendance ballooned, and access to information increased enormously, the interest young Americans showed in the arts—and especially literature —actually diminished.…（出于篇幅考虑，此处省略8个段落）Reading is not a timeless, universal capability. Advanced literacy is a specific intellectual skill and social habit that depends on a great many educational, cultural, and economic factors. As more Americans lose this capability, our nation becomes less informed, active, and independent-minded. These are not the qualities that a free, innovative, or productive society can afford to lose.Write an essay in which you explain how Dana Gioia builds an argument to persuade his audience that the decline of reading in America will have a negative effect on society. In your essay, analyze how Gioia uses one or more of the features listed in the box above (or features of your own choice) to strengthen the logic and persuasiveness of his argument. Be sure that your analysis focuses on the most relevant features of the passage.Your essay should not explain whether you agree with Gioia’s claims, but rather explain how Gioia builds an argument to persuade his audience.从上述样题的粗体字部分可以看出，这篇需要分析的样文最初发表于2005年4月，其标题为《文学为何重要》(“Why Literature Matters”)。
2016年11月新SAT写作考情回顾 都考了些啥？
11月SAT考试已落下帷幕，下面对本次考试写作部分进行回顾和分析。
本次写作考题选自The Wrong Way to Protect Elephants，作者GODFREY HARRIS and DANIEL STILES，全文共13段，作者论点是不应该通过禁止象牙进出口和交易来保护大象。
一、试题原文（精确版）The Wrong Way to Protect ElephantsBy GODFREY HARRIS and DANIEL STILESP1 THE year was 1862. Abraham Lincoln was in the White House. “Taps” was first sounded as a lights-out bugle call. And Steinway & Sons was building itsfirst upright pianos in New York.P2 The keys on those pianos were all fashioned from the ivory of African elephants. And that is why one of these uprights, the oldest one known tosurvive, in fact, is stuck in Japan.P3 The director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service recently issued an order prohibiting the commercial importation of all African elephant ivory into the United States. (Commercial imports had been allowed in someinstances, including for certain antiques.)P4 The Obama administration is also planning to implement additional rulesthat will prohibit, with narrow exceptions, both the export of African elephant ivory and its unfettered trade within the United States.P5 The Fish and Wildlife Service has said that these new rules will help stop the slaughter of elephants. But we believe that unless demand for ivory in Asia is reduced — through aggressive education programs there, tougher enforcement against the illegal ivory trade and the creation of a legal raw ivory market — these new American regulations will merely cause the price to balloon and the black market to flourish, pushing up the profit potential ofcontinued poaching.P6 In short, these new rules proposed by the Fish and Wildlife Service may well end up doing more harm than good to the African elephant.P7 What these regulations will also do is make the import, export and interstate sale of almost any object with African elephant ivory virtually impossible. Anyone who owns any antique African elephant ivory — whether it is an Edwardian bracelet inherited from a grandmother or an ivory-handled Georgian silver tea set owned by an antiques dealer — will be unable to ship or sell it without unimpeachable documentation that proves it is at least 100 years old, has not been repaired or modified with elephant ivory since 1973, and that it arrived in the United States through one of 13 ports of entry.P8 The story of the Steinway underscores the complexity, rigidity and absurdity of these rules. The piano was salvaged years ago by Ben Treuhaft, a professional piano technician. When his wife took an academic job in Japan, he shipped the piano along with their other household possessions to Tokyo. They moved to Scotland after the Fukushima nuclear accident three years ago, leaving the piano in storage in Japan to be shipped later. Now Mr. Treuhaft is ready to return the piano to the United States and place it in the hands of a friend who planned to display it at her piano shop.P9 But the piano remains in Japan. It lacks the paperwork necessary to clear customs in the United States because Mr. Treuhaft failed, when he shipped the piano abroad, to obtain the required export permit identifying the ivory keys and the piano’s provenance. In the past, the government might have exercised some discretion over Mr. Treuhaft’s oversight. But no more. Moreover, to meet the personal-use exception for an import, the piano would have to be shipped back as part of a household move, and he wants to send it to a friend.P10 So the piano that Steinway says is its oldest known upright is stuck inJapan.P11 Of course, Mr. Treuhaft is not the only one who is or will be hurt orinconvenienced by this draconian order from the Fish and Wildlife Service, or the new rules that the administration seeks to impose. Musicians already complain of a burdensome process and monthslong delays in securing permits to take their instruments containing ivory abroad. And collectors, gun owners and antiques dealers say they have been blindsided by the proposed rules, which will effectively render their African elephant ivory pieces worthless unless they can meet the extremely difficult standards necessary to sell them.P12 We suggest a different approach. We should encourage China, where much of the poached ivory ends up, to start a detailed public education campaign that underscores the damage done to elephant populations by the illegal trade in ivory. We also need more aggressive enforcement of anti-poaching efforts in Africa. And we should figure out a way to manage the trade in raw ivory to protect elephants. For instance, several years ago, ivory stockpiles owned by several African countries were sold in a series of United Nations-approved auctions in an effort to undercut illegal ivory trafficking. The proceeds went to elephant conservation efforts. This is a better approach than destroying these stockpiles, as the United States did last fall to six tons of ivory.P13 Leaving Mr. Treuhaft’s piano in Japan will not save African elephants. But it will further endanger them and diminish the lives of those who recognize and value the role of ivory in history and culture.二、文章分析P1-2：开篇两段引入了一个之后贯穿文章始终的小故事，一架1862年的施坦威立式钢琴，由于琴键用非洲象牙制作，怀璧其罪，目前滞留在日本，无法入境美国。
新SAT考题分析(2016年5月)
新SAT考题分析（2016年5月）为了帮助大家更好地备考新SAT考试，今天文都国际小编给大家分析一下2016年5月新SAT考题，供大家参考。
阅读部分不同于三月北美考试结束后普遍反映阅读比较简单，亚洲首考之后大多数同学觉得阅读还是有点难度的，尤其是政治类文章。
难度比新SAT的OG略高，做起来的感受“跟老SAT差不多”。
阅读速度对于中国学生来说是很大的挑战。
反映难度最高的是小说阅读和历史政治类的对比阅读。
第一篇: 现当代小说类(难度中等)选自Nawabdin Electrician by Daniya Mueenuddin，文章来自《纽约客》文章大意：一个仆人在农场工作，收入颇低。
他向主人述说自己工作不易，因年龄渐长体力透支，想辞去这份工作。
事实上，这位仆人的目的是为了想要一辆摩托车，主人考虑他走了对自己不利，就答应他了。
从此，这位仆人在亲戚中地位提升，而且还有更多宽裕的时间去陪家人。
文章主题以对话还有叙事为主。
对于人物细节考察较细，另外就是段落主旨对于人物个性塑造的作用考察也多。
语言风格不是太难, 用词用句难度比19世纪的小说选段略低, 但根据文章风格并非描写英美国家生活, 且情节不那么一目了然, 文章后半段难度较前半段低。
第二篇: 社科类(比常见社科类略难)Public Trust in the News by Stephen Coleman, Scott Anthony, and David E.Morrison文章大意：过去的news有authority的感觉，比如BBC随着媒体大众化，人们发现没有必要相信媒体导向的很多观点。
现在的潮流更欣赏真实的报道，只给出facts，而不用给出观点，大家自然会有自己的看法。
在这种情况下，媒体人会有比较大的压力。
传统的新闻主要是加入了记者或专家的观点，而现代新闻更侧重还原所有信息，还原到raw material 本身，让读者自己下定论。
第三篇: 科学类(难度中等)文章大意：讲述针对某一植物进行的实验, 检测pollinator和bettles是否会由于植物特性(frangrance增加)改变而产生趋性的改变。
新SAT考试词汇题真题解析 语境不可忽略
新SAT考试词汇题真题解析语境不可忽略新SAT改革后，词汇题就融入到了阅读当中去了，对词汇的考察不仅仅要结合词汇本身的意思，也要考虑到语境当中去。
本文中总结了几道2016年考试真题中的词汇题，并进行解析，来加深大家对词汇题的理解。
1、2016年5月亚洲卷阅读第2题As used in line 16, “kicks” most nearly meansA) thrills.B) complaints.C) jolts.D) interests.本题考查的单词“kick”很简单，但是选项里估计有很多同学不认识thrill(战栗，激动) 和jolt(颠簸，摇晃;震惊)，这已经是做题的第一道障碍，答案选项有不认识的词;再看该词所在的完整的句子：He did not demur even when asked to fix watches, though that enterprise did spectacularly badly, and in fact earned him more kicks than kudos, for no watch he took apart ever kept time again.我们发现demur (反对;抗辩)是生词，kick 对应的后面的单词kudos(来自希腊语，赞扬，荣誉) 也不认识，这是第二道障碍。
如果词汇量足够大，认识kudos,那么答案就很容易选了。
但是如果能够读懂文章，通过上下文知道主人公“他”对于修表这项事业做的并不成功，因为for后面有解释——他拆开过的表再也走不准了，那么就知道这个事业给他带来的是别人的抱怨。
这样也能选出正确答案B。
2、2016年5月亚洲卷阅读第49题As used in line 69, “betting on” most nearly meansA) dabbling in.B) gambling with.C) switching from.D) optimistic about.单看这道题目，bet on 的本义是“以……打赌”;dabble in 本义是“玩水”，引申义是“涉足，涉猎”;gamble with 是“以……赌博”，引申义“以……冒险”;switch的本义是“开关” switch from引申为“从……转换”;optimistic about 的意思是“对……很乐观”。

2016年新SAT样题——Writing and Language部分
2016年新SAT样题——Writing and Language部分2016年新SAT样题——Writing and Language部分Questions 1-7 are based on the following passage.Dong Kingman: Painter of CitiesA 1954 documentary about renowned watercolor painter Dong Kingman shows the artist sitting on a stool on Mott Street in New York City’s Chinatown. A crowd of admiring spectators watches as Kingman squeezes dollops of paint from several tubes into a tin watercolor ①box, from just a few primary colors, Kingman creates dozens of beautiful hues as he layers the translucent paint onto the paper on his easel. Each stroke of the brush and dab of the sponge transforms thinly sketched outlines into buildings, shop signs, and streetlamps. The street scene Kingman begins composing in this short film is very much in keeping with the urban landscapes for which he is best known.[1] Kingman was keenly interested in landscape painting from an early age. [2] In Hong Kong, where Kingman completed his schooling, teachers at that time customarily assigned students a formal “school name.” [3] His interest was so keen, in fact, that he was named after it. [4] The young boy who had been called Dong Moy Shu became Dong Kingman.[5] The name Kingman was selected for its two ②parts, “king” and “man”; Cantonese for “scenery” and “composition.” [6] As Kingman developed as a painter, his works were often compared to ③paintings by Chinese landscape artists dating back to CE 960, a time when a strong tradition of landscape painting emerged in Chinese art. [7] Kingman, however, ④vacated from that tradition in a number of ways, most notably in that he chose to focus not on natural landscapes, such as mountains and rivers, but on cities.⑤⑥His fine brushwork conveys detailed street-level activity: a peanut vendor pushing his cart on the sidewalk, a pigeon pecking for crumbs around a fire hydrant, an old man tending to a baby outside a doorway. His broader brushstrokes and sponge-painted shapes create majestic city skylines, with skyscrapers towering in the background, bridges connecting neighborhoods on either side of a river, and enormous ships maneuvering out of a busy harbor. To art critics and fans alike, these city scenes represent the innovative spirit of twentieth-century urban Modernism.During his career, Kingman exhibited his work ⑦internationally. He garnered much acclaim. In 1936, a critic described one of Kingman’s solo exhibits as “twenty of the freshest, most satisfying watercolors that have been seen hereabouts in many a day.” Si nce Kingman’s death in 2000, museums across the United States and in China have continued to ensure that his now-iconic landscapes remain available for the public to enjoy.1.(A) NO CHANGE(B) box.

Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?(A) internationally, and Kingman also garnered(B) internationally; from exhibiting, he garnered(C) internationally but garnered(D) internationally, garneringQuestions 8-13 are based on the following passage and supplementary material.A Life in TrafficA subway system is expanded to provide service to a growing suburb.A bike-sharing program is adopted to encourage nonmotorized transportation. Stoplight timing is coordinated to alleviate rush hour traffic jams in a congested downtown area. When any one of these changes ⑧occur, it is likely the result of careful analysis conducted by transportation planners.The work of transportation planners generally includes evaluating current transportation needs, assessing the effectiveness of existing facilities, and improving those facilities or ⑨they design new ones. Most transportation planners work in or near cities, but some are employed in rural areas. Say, for example, a large factory is built on the outskirts of a small town. Traffic to and from that location would increase at the beginning and end of work shifts. The transportation planner’s job might involve conducting a traffic count to determine the daily number of vehicles traveling on the road to the new factory. If analysis of the traffic count indicates that there is more traffic than the ⑩current road as it is designed at this time can efficiently accommodate, the transportation planner might recommend widening the road to add another lane.Transportation planners work closely with a number of community stakeholders, such as government officials and other interested organizations and individuals. ?Next, representatives from the local public health department might provide input in designing a network oftrails and sidewalks to encourage people to walk more. Members of the Chamber of Commerce might share suggestions about designing transportation and parking facilities to support local businesses.?People who pursue careers in transportation planning have a wide variety of educational backgrounds. A two-year degree in transportation technology may be sufficient for some entry-level jobs in the field. Most jobs, however, require at least a bachelor’s degree; majors of transportation planners are varied, including fields such as urban studies, civil engineering, geography, or transportation and logistics management. For many positions in the field, a master’s degree is required.Transportation planners perform critical work within the broader field of urban and regional planning. As of 2010, there were approximately 40,300 urban and regional planners employed in the United States. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts steady job growth in this field, ?projecting that 16 percent of new jobs in all occupations will be related to urban and regional planning. Population growth and concerns about environmental sustainability are expected to spur the need for transportation planning professionals.扫描二维码限时获取免费视频课程。

新SAT阅读考点解析(2016年5月7日)
新SAT阅读考点解析（2016年5月7日）SAT自改革后便受到各界的关注，下面文都国际小编给大家分析一下新SAT 阅读考点（2016年5月7日），帮助大家更好地掌握SAT阅读考试新动向。
1.词汇题 Words in context这个是老sat和新sat都在强调的内容，在新satz取消填空题的情况下，对于这种题目的考查有所增加，同时也更注重词汇的语境意思，本此5.7日的亚太考题中考查的词汇并非生僻的难词怪词，而是一些常用词汇在语境具体语境中的意思对应，比如文学文章中考查的“kicks”，原文给的是“although that enterprise did spectacularly badly，and earned him more kicks than kudos，for no watch he took apart ever kept time again.”根据原句意思在这里选择的是“complain”。
2.明确信息题Determine Explict Meanings这种类型的考点在新sat改革的官方指南中明确指出在information and idea中的明确了考点内容和信息，这个考点主要考查对文章具体信息和内容的理解，难度相对较小，但是新sat增加了一下难度，就是取消了其中的行号定位。
多数情况下，下一题会结合一个cite textual evidence的题目给出四个备选的行号定位，5.7日考试中也不例外，其中有细节题和循证题搭配出现的情况，也有只考查细节题，比如第一篇文学类文章中考查了一个细节题，问farm manager 对Nawab的态度，选项给了几个appreciation，envy，以及disgust等，而在原文倒数第二段中可以找到原词disgust，这个题目就没有行号定位，下一题也没有证据题提示行号，所以对原文细节处的理解要求更高。
3.循证题 Cite Textual Evidence比如第三篇科学类文章decoding a flower's message这篇文章中考到一题，题目问：researchers在在实验中采用的是什么方法?选择的direct observation.而第二题就给出行号定位，上一题得出的答案是在文章哪里找到的证据?对应到原文其中一段：“It was labor intensive，”这段中说到“as soon as they did，the team spent the next several hours walking from flower to flower，observing each for two-minute intervals”.4.图表题 Analyze Quantative Information这个考点在5.7日考试中的社科文章以及科学文章中都有涉及，这个部分的考题相对于OG中的图表题目相对较难一些，图表也比较复杂，在public trust in the news这篇文章中的表格给的是几个不同年份下的公众对于新闻的看法，其中对于news organization 的看法认为其是independent的有多少人，认为她们的信息受expert观点的影响有偏见的有多少，don't know的人有多少。

Even more ominous for workers, they foresee dismal prospects for many types of jobs as these powerful new technologies are increasingly adopted not only in manufacturing, clerical, and retail work but in professions such as law, fi nancial services, education, and medicine. Th at robots, automation, and so ft ware can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing or as a travel agent. But Brynjolfsson and McAfee’s claim is more troubling and controversial. Th ey believe that rapid technologicalchange has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them, contributing to the stagnation of median income and the growth of inequality in the United States. And, they suspect, something similar is happening in other technologically advanced countries.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart that only an economist could love. In economics, productivity—the amount of economic value created for a given unit of input, such as an hour of labor—is a crucial indicator of growth and wealth creation. It is a measure of progress. On the chart Brynjolfsson likes to show, separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years a ft er World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases inproductivity. Th e pattern is clear: as businesses generated more value from their workers, the country as a whole became richer, which fueled more economic activity and created even more jobs. Th en, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise robustly, but employment suddenly wilts. By 2011, a signi fi cant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation. Brynjolfsson and McAfee call it the “great decoupling.” And BrynjolfssonLine 510152025303540455055606570758085says he is con fi dent that technology is behind both thehealthy growth in productivity and the weak growth in jobs.It’s a startling assertion because it threatens the faith that many economists place in technological progress. Brynjolfsson and McAfee still believe that technology boosts productivity and makes societies wealthier, but they think that it can also have a dark side: technological progress is eliminating the need for many types of jobs and leaving the typical worker worse o ff than before. Brynjolfsson can point to a second chart indicating that median income is failing to rise even as the gross domestic product soars. “It’s the great paradox of our era,” he says. “Productivity is at record levels, innovation has never been faster, and yet at the same time, we have a falling median income and we have fewer jobs. People are falling behind because technology is advancing so fast and our skills and organizations aren’t keeping up.” While such technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that no historical pattern shows these shi ft s leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Katz has done extensive research on how technological advances have a ff ected jobs over the last few centuries—describing, for example, how highly skilled artisans in the mid-19th century were displaced by lower-skilled workers in factories. While it can take decades for workers to acquire the expertise needed for new types of employment, he says, “we never have run out of jobs. Th ere is no long-term trend of eliminating work for people. Over the long term, employment rates are fairly stable. People have always been able to create new jobs. People come up with new things to do.”Still, Katz doesn’t dismiss the notion that there is something di ff erent about today’s digital technologies—something that could a ff ect an even broader range of work. Th e question, he says, is whether economic history will serve as a useful guide. Will the job disruptions caused by technology be temporary as the workforce adapts, or will we see a science-fi ction scenario in which automated processes and robots with superhuman skills take over a broad swath of human tasks? Th ough Katz expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?”Figure 1United Sates Productivity and Employment500400300200100Figure 2Output per Employed Person in Manufacturing as Factories Have Become More Automated196019701980199020002011P e r c e n t a g e o f 1947 l e v e l sO u t p u t p e r w o r k e r (2002 v a l u e s =100)I, xiaobanshou, drew this!

A new study of ibises fi nds that these big-winged birds carefully position their wingtips and sync their fl apping, presumably to catch the preceding bird’s updra ft —and save energy during fl ight.Th ere are two reasons birds might fl y in a V formation: It may make fl ight easier, or they’re simply following the leader. Squadrons of planes can save fuel by fl ying in a V formation, and many scientists suspect that migrating birds do the same. Models that treated fl apping birds like fi xed-wing airplanes estimate that they save energy by dra ft ing o ff each other, but currents created by airplanes are far more stable than the oscillating eddies coming o ff of a bird. “Air gets pretty darn wiggy behind a fl apping wing,” says James Usherwood, a locomotor biomechanist at the Royal Veterinary College at the University of London in Hat fi eld, where the research took place. Th e study, published in Nature, took advantage of an existing project to reintroduce endangered northern bald ibises (Geronticus eremita) to Europe. Scientists used a microlight plane to show hand-raised birds their ancestral migration route from Austria to Italy. A fl ock of 14 juveniles carried data loggers specially built by Usherwood and his lab. Th e device’s GPS determined each bird’s fl ight position to within 30 cm, and an accelerometer showed the timing of the wing fl aps.Just as aerodynamic estimates would predict, the birds positioned themselves to fl y just behind and to the side of the bird in front, timing their wing beats to catch the upli ft ing eddies. When a bird fl ew directly behind another, the timing of the fl apping reversed so that it could minimize the e ff ects of the downdra ft coming o ff the back of the bird’s body. “We didn’t think this was possible,” Usherwood says, considering that the feat requires careful fl ight and incredible awareness of one’s neighbors. “Perhaps these big V formation birds can be thought of quite like an airplane with wings that go up and down.”Line 5101520253035Th e fi ndings likely apply to other long-winged birds,such as pelicans, storks, and geese, Usherwood says. Smaller birds create more complex wakes that would make dra ft ing too di ffi cult. Th e researchers did not attempt to calculate the bird’s energy savings because the necessary physiological measurements would be too invasive for an endangered species. Previous studies estimate that birds can use 20% to 30% less energy while fl ying in a V .“From a behavioral perspective it’s really a breakthrough,” says David Lentink, a mechanicalengineer at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, who was not involved in the work. “Showing that birds care about syncing their wing beats is de fi nitely an important insight that we didn’t have before.” To de fi nitively say that the birds are dra ft ing o ff each other, however, the exact location of the eddies and the areas of downdra ft would need to be measured on ibises, which would require fl ying them in a wind tunnel—a far more intrusive process than simply carrying a data logger. Scientists do not know how the birds fi nd that aerodynamic sweet spot, but they suspect that theanimals align themselves either by sight or by sensing air currents through their feathers. Alternatively, they may move around until they fi nd the location with the least resistance. In future studies, the researchers will switch to more common birds, such as pigeons or geese. Th ey plan to investigate how the animals decide who sets the course and the pace, and whether a mistake made by the leader can ripple through the rest of the fl ock to cause tra ffi c jams.“It’s a pretty impressive piece of work as it is, but it does suggest that there’s a lot more to learn,” says Ty Hedrick, a biologist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who studies fl ight aerodynamics in birds and insects. However they do it, he says, “birds are awfully good hang-glider pilots.”40455055606570751125Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 3-6 (“A ... fl ight”)B) lines 9-11 (“Squadrons ... same”)C) lines 19-21 (“Th e ...

Originally published in 1840. Passage 2 is adapted from Harriet Taylor Mill,“Enfranchisement of Women.” Originally published in 1851. As United States and European societies grew increasingly democratic during the nineteenth century, debates arose about whether freedoms enjoyed by men should be extended to women as well.Passage1I Have shown how democracy destroys or modi fi es the di ff erent inequalities which originate in society; but is this all? or does it not ultimately a ff ect that great inequality of man and woman which has seemed, up to the present day, to be eternally based in human nature? I believe that the social changes which bring nearer to the same level the father and son, the master and servant, and superiors and inferiors generally speaking, will raise woman and make her more and more the equal of man. But here, more than ever, I feel the necessity of making myself clearly understood; for there is no subject on which the coarse and lawless fancies of our age have taken a freer range.Th ere are people in Europe who, confounding together the di ff erent characteristics of the sexes, would make of man and woman beings not only equal but alike. Th ey would give to both the same functions, impose on both the same duties, and grant to both the same rights; they would mix them in all things — their occupations, their pleasures, their business. It may readily be conceived, that by thus attempting to make one sex equal to the other, both are degraded; and from so preposterous a medley of the works of nature nothing could ever result but weak men and disorderly women. It is not thus that the Americans understand that species of democratic equality which may be established between the sexes. Th ey admit, that as nature has appointed such wide di ff erences between the physical and moral constitution of man and woman, her manifest design was to give a distinct employment to their various faculties; and they hold that improvement does not consist in making beings so dissimilar do pretty nearly the same things, but in getting each of them to ful fi l their respective tasks in the best possible manner. Th e Americans have applied toLine 51015202530the sexes the great principle of political economy whichgoverns the manufactures of our age, by carefully dividing the duties of man from those of woman, in order that the great work of society may be the better carried on.Passage2As society was constituted until the last fewgenerations, inequality was its very basis; association grounded on equal rights scarcely existed; to be equals was to be enemies; two persons could hardly cooperate in anything, or meet in any amicable relation, without the law's appointing that one of them should be the superior of the other. Mankind have outgrown this state, and all things now tend to substitute, as the general principle of human relations, a just equality, instead of the dominion of the strongest. But of all relations, that between men and women being the nearest and most intimate, and connected with the greatest number of strong emotions, was sure to be the last to throw o ff the old rule and receive the new; for in proportion to the strength of a feeling, is the tenacity with which it clings to the forms and circumstances with which it has even accidentally become associated.… Th e proper sphere for all human beings is the largest and highest which they are able to attain to. What this is, cannot be ascertained, without complete liberty of choice… Let every occupation be open to all, without favour or discouragement to any, and employments will fall into the hands of those men or women who are found by experience to be most capable of worthily exercising them. Th ere need be no fear that women will take out of the hands of men any occupation which men perform better than they. Each individual will prove his or her capacities, in the only way in which capacities can be proved--by trial; and the world will have the bene fi t of the best faculties of all its inhabitants. But to interfere beforehand by an arbitrary limit, and declare thatwhatever be the genius, talent, energy, or force of mind of an individual of a certain sex or class, those faculties shall no be exerted, or shall be exerted only in some few of the many modes in which others are permitted to use theirs, is not only an injustice to the individual, and a detriment to society, which loses what it can ill spare, but is also the most e ff ectual mode of providing that, in the sex or class so fettered, the qualities which are not permitted to be exercised shall not exist.354045505560657075SAT 小帮手原创题目，版权所有，请勿盗用或者去掉我们的水印！去掉我们的水印这样很不尊重人你知道吗！33In Passage 1, Tocqueville implies that treatment of men and women as identical in nature would have which consequence?A) Neither sex would feel oppressed.B) Both sexes would be greatly harmed.C) Men would try to reclaim their lost authority.D) Men and women would have privileges they donot need.3435Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 14-16 (“There ... alike”)B) lines 16-18 (“They ... rights”)C) lines 20-22 (“It ... degraded”)D) lines 24-26 (“It ... sexes”)As used in line 47, “dominion” most nearly means A) omnipotence B) supremacy C) ownership D) territoryIn Passage 2, Mill most strongly suggest that gender roles are resistant to changes because they A) have long served as the basis for the formedorganization of society.B) are matters of deeply entrenched traditions.C) can be influenced by legislative redresses onlyindirectly.D) benefit the groups and institutions currently inpower3637Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 39-40 (“As ... basis”)B) lines 42-45 (“two ... other”)C) lines 52-55 (“in ... associated”)D) lines 60-63 (“employments ... them”)32As used in line 8, “raise” most nearly means A) increase.B) cultivate.C) nurture.D) elevate.1139Tocqueville in Passage 1 would most likelycharacterize the position taken by Mill in lines 59-63 in Passage 2 (“Let … them”) asA) less radical about gender roles than it mightinitially seem.B) persuasive in the abstract but di ffi cult toimplement in practice.C) ill-advised but consistent with a view held bysome other advocates of gender equality.D) compatible with economic progress in the UnitedStates but not in Europe.Both authors would most likely agree that thechanges in gender roles that they describe would be A) part of a broad social shift toward greaterequality.B) unlikely to provide benefits that outweigh theircosts.C) inevitable given the economic advantages ofgender equality.D) at odds with the principles of Americandemocracy.38Which choice best describes the ways that the two authors conceived of the individual’s proper position in society?A) Tocqueville believes that an individual’s positionshould be defined in important ways by that individual’s sex, while Mill believes that an individual’s abilities should be the determining factor.B) Tocqueville believes that an individual’seconomic class should determine thatindividual’s position, while Mill believes that class is not a legitimate consideration.C) Tocqueville believes that an individual’stemperament should determine that individual’s position, while Mill believes that temperament should not be a factor in an individual’s position.D) Tocqueville believes that an individual’s positionshould be determined by what is most beneficial to society, while Mill believes it should be determined by what an individual finds most rewarding.41Based on Passage 2, Mill would most likely say that the application of the “great principle of political economy” (lines 35, Passage 1) to gender has which effect?A) It prevents many men and women fromdeveloping to their full potential.B) It makes it difficult for men and women tosympathize with each other.C) It unintentionally furthers the cause of genderequality.D) It guarantees that women taken occupations thatmen are better suited to perform.40SAT 小帮手原创题目，版权所有，请勿盗用或者去掉我们的水印！去掉我们的水印这样很不尊重人你知道吗！Questions 43-52 are based on the following passages.This passage is adapted from Brain Greene, “How the Higgs Boson Was Found” ©by Smithsonian magazine. The Higgs boson is an elementary particle associated with the Higgs fi eld – Experiments conducted in 2012-2013 tentatively con fi rmed the existence of the Higgs Boson and thus of the Higgs fi eld.Nearly a half-century ago, Peter Higgs and a handful of other physicists were trying to understand the origin of a basic physical feature: mass. Y ou can think ofmass as an object’s he ft or, a little more precisely, as the resistance it o ff ers to having its motion changed. Push on a freight train (or a feather) to increase its speed, and the resistance you feel re fl ects its mass. At a microscopic level, the freight train’s mass comes from its constituent molecules and atoms, which are themselves built from fundamental particles, electrons and quarks. But where do the masses of these and other fundamental particles come from?When physicists in the 1960s modeled the behavior of these particles using equations rooted in quantum physics, they encountered a puzzle. If they imagined that the particles were all massless, then each term in the equations clicked into a perfectly symmetric pattern, like the tips of a perfect snow fl ake. And this symmetry was not just mathematically elegant. It explained patterns evident in the experimental data. But—and here’s the puzzle—physicists knew that the particles did have mass, and when they modi fi ed the equations to account for this fact, the mathematical harmony was spoiled. Th e equations became complex and unwieldy and, worse still, inconsistent.What to do? Here’s the idea put forward by Higgs. Don’t shove the particles’ masses down the throat of the beautiful equations. Instead, keep the equations pristine and symmetric, but consider them operating within a peculiar environment. Imagine that all of space isuniformly fi lled with an invisible substance—now called the Higgs fi eld—that exerts a drag force on particles when they accelerate through it. Push on a fundamental particle in an e ff ort to increase its speed and, according to Higgs, you would feel this drag force as a resistance.Line 5101520253035Justi fi ably, you would interpret the resistance as the particle’s mass. For a mental toehold, think of a ping-pong ball submerged in water. When you push on the ping-pong ball, it will feel much more massive than it does outside of water. Its interaction with the watery environment has the e ff ect of endowing it with mass. So with particles submerged in the Higgs fi eld.In 1964, Higgs submitted a paper to a prominent physics journal in which he formulated this ideamathematically. Th e paper was rejected. Not because it contained a technical error, but because the premise of an invisible something permeating space, interacting with particles to provide their mass, well, it all just seemed like heaps of overwrought speculation. Th e editors of the journal deemed it “of no obvious relevance to physics.” But Higgs persevered (and his revised paper appeared later that year in another journal), and physicists who took the time to study the proposal gradually realized that his idea was a stroke of genius, one that allowed them to have their cake and eat it too. In Higgs’ scheme, the fundamental equations can retain their pristine form because the dirty work of providing the particles’ masses is relegated to the environment.While I wasn’t around to witness the initial rejection of Higgs’ proposal in 1964 (well, I was around, but only barely), I can attest that by the mid-1980s, the assessment had changed. Th e physics community had, for the most part, fully bought into the idea that there was a Higgs fi eld permeating space. In fact, in a graduate course I took that covered what’s known as the Standard Model of Particle Physics (the quantum equations physicists have assembled to describe the particles of matter and the dominant forces by which they in fl uence each other), the professor presented the Higgs fi eld with such certainty that for a long while I had no idea it had yet to beestablished experimentally. On occasion, that happens in physics. Mathematical equations can sometimes tell such a convincing tale, they can seemingly radiate reality so strongly, that they become entrenched in the vernacular of working physicists, even before there’s data to con fi rm them.4045505560657075。

值得一提的是，以往考试，不论真题或者模拟题，选取均来自不同作者或演讲者。
因此学生需要先判断双方讨论的共同主题，再判断对该主题的态度——基调。
此次考试，考生无需动此脑筋，即使不结合历史知识，领悟起来也不算难。
第三篇：自然科学讲蚂蚁，回忆该文的学生能一口气讲清楚内容，足见不难。
研究表明蚂蚁在做选择上，个体和群体的区别。
题型为主旨题，细节题，词汇题和询证题。
第四篇：社科类文章也没有为难大家，讲的是工作场合的谎言。
一反主流认为老实人好骗。
其实他们更容易辨别撒谎者，一方面测谎技术提高让人更值得信任;二方面我们通过信任他人，也实现识人能力的提升。
该文一贯秉承真题图表题的简易风格，不像可汗图表题可能涉及更复杂运算。
第五篇：最后一篇自然科学文章，探讨氧气出现时间比现行认为的更迟，属于典型科研成果新颠覆旧的思维，难度不大。
以上就是小编为大家带来的2016年12月3日SAT考试的阅读部分分析，可以看出，人文社科一直是SAT阅读钟爱的出题范围，平时多扩展一下这方面的背景知识是一个非常好的阅读备考途径。
明志教育：2016年5月7日新SAT亚洲首考阅读深度解析
明志教育：2016年5月7日新SAT亚洲首考阅读深度解析一、考试没有想像中的难在采访了诸位赴考学生后，包括笔者自己的感受，这次阅读考试难度真的没有想象中难哦!特别是考过老SAT的学生更是感动地痛哭流涕，觉得新SAT真的是好温馨好贴心，一点也没有那么纠结。
就连大家曾经最恐惧的小说类文章和历史类文章，也没有想象中的难。
在这里笔者不得不叹息，你们到底以前是把SAT考试想象的有多难啊!而也有少数学生认为此次考试，特别是阅读部分好纠结啊。
好多词不认识。
特别是那篇对比阅读，感觉是读懂了但是做题各种纠结觉得正确答案不明显。
二、文章难度等级分析那就让我们来具体分析一下此次考试的难度等级吧。
此次考试文章一共有五篇。
按照难度等级来算，第一篇难度等级为3，第二篇文章难度等级为4，第三篇难度等级为2.5，第四篇和第五篇难度等级都在2.5。
那么这次sat考试阅读部分的平均难度等级为2.9分。
那么2.9分算是难还是不难呢?我们计算了进两年所有老SAT考试的难度系数，与此次新SAT考试难度系数做了对比。
见下面图表：从图表中可以看出来，绝大多数老SAT考试的难度都超过2.95。
那么足以证明，此次SAT考试难度与前期其他考试相比，算是最低的一次了。
应该属于比较简单的一次考试。
但是当然也没有大家想象的那么简单。
我相信很多觉得考试很难的学生一定是考前高度紧张，把考试想象的很难，实际上到了考场上一看，发现也就没有那么难了。
三、5篇文章详解那我们来具体分析分析各篇文章吧。
第一篇文章自然是小说。
SAT喜欢把小说放在第一篇来考的主要原因是小说比较难，可以一上来给学生个下马威。
但是这次考试的小说(选自于WilliamMaxwell的 TheFolded Leaf)，却是相当简单。
所有的文字都通俗易懂。
文章没有什么特别明确的主旨，只是讲述了一个主人公在餐馆就餐时的观察和心境。
讲述了主人公对自己父亲的旁观。
这是一部Maxwell的伤感小说，写了成长和人际关系，情感充沛且细腻。

2016新SAT考试难度大幅度提升（样题预览）
深圳跨文化交流中心整理
美国时间2014年4月16日凌晨五点三十分，北京时间2014年4月16日下午五点三十分，美国大学委员会第一时间发布新SAT考试样题，全部样题共208页，除部分样题之外，还对考试的整体设计思路、考试的能力要求等进行了详细阐释，在现阶段起到类似《官方指南》的作用。
新SAT难度大幅增加，则说明将对中国考生的综合能力提出更高的要求。
2016新SAT考试难度大幅度提升（样题预览）
2016新SAT考试难度大幅度提升（样题预览）
新SAT考试内容变更：
1.从考试时间上讲，从原先的3小时45分钟，调整为3小时，另外加可选择写作部分时间为50分钟。
2.考试内容由原来的三部分“批判性阅读”，“数学”，“写作”，改为两部分“基于证据的阅读和写作”以及“数学”，而“写作”则作为可选择项。
3.考试分数也由600分-2400调整为400到1600分，可选项“写作”独立打分，分别根据三个要求打2-8分。
新SAT阅读内容变更
①具体内容上来看SAT阅读填空部分完全取消，由之前的三个section、67道题目(19道填空、48道阅)，每题五个选项，总共70分钟，改变为52道题，每题4个选项，总共65分钟。
篇章也由两个短单、一对短双、三个中长单、一对长双改为四个长单和一套长双构成。
②新SAT阅读部分取消了词汇填空题，所有题目全部以passage-based的形式出现。
当前SAT考试的阅读部分的总计67题中，有19题是词汇填空。
根据我们的经验，19道词汇填空题部分题目中国学生往往只要下功夫背熟词汇一般可以在7分钟内完成，并且可以保持相当的准确率。
这意味着每个篇章阅读题的解题时间是（70－7）／（67－19）= 1.31秒，而在新SAT下，每个篇章阅读题目的解题时间是65／52=1.25秒。
别小看这个细小的变化。
因为本来SAT对速度的要求就很高，在此基础上的任何提高都是苛刻的要求。
③阅读文章内容选取上更加广泛，包含文学、历史、科学和社会研究,更趋向于和学生的学业以及就业关联度更密切的内容。
④会增加图表数据分析，更加偏重考察考生在将来的学术生活的实际应用能力。
原来的语法和词汇在新SAT中要求以文章为背景，考查文章中单词、短语和语言的使用，更加注重考生对上下文的理解和把握！这意味着纯文学内容的比重将下降，而科学类的或职业相关的说明性论证型文章比重将增加。
⑤在新SAT框架下，文学部分会出现一篇阅读，占总题量的1/5。
其余4篇阅读平均分布在历史/社会研究和自然科学两个领域。
部分文章会出现插图，并要求学生结合插图进行解题。
这样的变化对理科思维的学生而言是利好，对文艺青年不是好事情。
⑥在当前版本的SAT下，小说阅读常常只需要掌握大概，把握其主要情绪即可迅速解题，而无需去理清文章的内在逻辑结构，而新版本的SAT则更加强调了对文章整体的逻辑脉
络的把握。
⑦根据Executive Summary，对比阅读也将得以保留，但对比阅读不可能出现在文学阅读部分。
⑧新版SAT阅读增加了寻找证据类题型。
根据业已公布之样题，寻找证据题与前面题目紧密关联—考生将被要求为前题的选择提供自己的论据。
所以如果前面题目选错，则后面选错的概率极大。
从逻辑上说，前题答案错，后题无论答案如何也应该算错。
但目前CB没有对这个规则进行进一步的阐释。
⑨新SAT增加了政治性极强的和美国民主政治制度相关的文章的阅读考察。
美国的民主政治机制复杂，所牵涉之文件可谓浩瀚无边，而中国学生则素来对此概念模糊，这部分阅读将对中国学生提出极大的挑战。
就样题中所设计文本而言，涉及到美国前总统尼克松的水门事件历史背景，美国的总统弹劾程序，美国参众两院制，美国建国文献Federalist Papers以及大量的美国政党政治的背景知识。
并且样题中文章属于某女性议员的发言选段，因此文章结构松散，行文有跳跃性，部分章节逻辑晦涩，具有相当的挑战。
例如文中提到的Political Lines指的就是对于一些问题的政党界线（美国的政党政治导致民主共和两党对于很多问题基本上是按照党派站队）。
当我们说Something gets political，也就意味着某个问题成为政党政治的牺牲品。
这样一些背景知识对于中国高中生而言，具有相当的挑战性。
⑩对词汇的考察将改变思路，排除那些艰深罕见的词汇，只考察那些“在不同学科中常用”的词汇，但强调“语境中”的考察。
语境中的词汇考察将出现在阅读部分以及写作和语言部分。
从样题中的词汇题看，难度不算低。
例如“Narrowly Channelled”的Channelled
意为Constrained就需要根据上下文来进行准确推理才能得出。
因此，与其说是词汇题，还不如说是阅读理解题。
11 写作的文法部分将做出重大的改动，可以说是面目全非。
当前的句子改进，挑错以及段落改进全部换成基于篇章的题目。
35分钟完成4篇文章的改进，每篇文章的长度大约为400－450词，分别属于职业相关、历史和社会科学、人文科学和自然科学领域。
考察点除了以前SAT文法部分常考知识点外，还增加了WORDS IN CONTEXTS的考察。
该部分题型主要是考察学生能否在特定语境下判断哪个词汇能最清晰准确地表达作者意图。
这和阅读中的词汇题有一定的类似性。
写作部分最重要的变化是，写作部分不单独计分，而是和阅读部分整合成一个总的分数，叫做“Evidence Based Reading and Writing”（基于证据的阅读和写作）分数，从200－800。
就这一段而言，基于证据的阅读和写作部分要拿高分有相当的挑战。
新SAT数学内容变更
数学考试改革后的内容更强调以下三点的考察：
1、代数核心内容(Heart ofAlgebra)；
2、高等数学基础(Passport to Advanced Math)；
3、解决问题和数据分析(ProblemSolving and DataAnalysis)。
总结：
改革后的SAT数学整体难度加大，对代数部分考查点更深更难，题目的阅读量也加大，更强调考生对数学知识点的理解和实际应用，深入考查考生的抽象思维能力。
要求考生在面临实际问题时可以通过理解题目和背景抽象出相应的方程和函数，从而解决问题。
不过总得来说，SAT的数学考试，对于中国学生来说，问题不大，相反的，SAT数学难度增加甚至可以成为中国考区学生的优势！
因此，对于今年的新高一同学，建议根据改革，平时多积累原版材料的阅读量如文学，自然科学和社会科学等方面的阅读，从提高综合能力入手，早做准备。
