SAT作文难题详细解析!对于一些
一、SAT 作文以分类题目考核为主,可以在之前的题目找到对应。
这些题目并没有那么可怕,它们都能多多少少的在以前的题目中找到对应和思路。在2014 年的SAT 写作考试中,我们预测仍会考分类题目,这些分类题目在之前考过的SAT作文题目中可以找到对应,我们先看一道老题目:
(2005.10)Is society’s admiration for famous people beneficial or harmful?
此题在摘要部分中做了如下的提示:“Admiration for celebrities is often accompanied by contempt for “average” people. As we focus on the famous, other people become less important to us. The world becomes populated with a few “some bodies” and an excess of “near-nobodies.”
我们这时再来看上边提到的(2013.10)Does having too much information about public figures distract us from the important issues? 会不会觉得轻松一些呢?而上边提到的2013 年10 月关于“privacy”的题目,实际曾经考过两次,分别是(2009.12)Should people give up their privacy in exchange for convenience or free services? 和(2005.10)Should people make more of an effort to keep some things private? 当年的题目如若大家都研究分析过,那么这道新题其实是很简单的。同样,下面的题目放到一起时,我们也能看出他们的相似性:
(2006.12)Is it important to try to understand people's motivations before judging their actions?
(2011.11)are the consequences of people's actions more important than the motives behind the actions?
(2011 10)Are people overly influenced by unrealistic claims and misleading images?
(2007.12)Do images and impressions have too much of an effect on people?
可见这些题目并不是“不符合出题规律”,以前都已经考过,所以出题人是很友好的。当然,能不能看出它们之间的关系要取决于大家平时备考是否能踏踏实实地研究以前的题目,而不是看了几道典型的简单题目就觉得SAT 写作不过如此。但是有些比较具体的题目,确实很难找到对应,比如广告这道题:
(2012 5)Do advertisements contribute to unhappiness and dissatisfaction?
如果我们用关键词“advertisements”进行搜索,发现旧题中从未出现过,只是在次年又考了一道类似的:
(2013.11)Are advertisements harmful to teenagers?然而媒体类的题目以前却是考过的:
(2005.6)Do newspapers, magazines, television, radio, movies, the Internet, and other media determine what is important to most people?
(2009.10)Do books, newspapers, and other media focus too much on bad news?
还有涉及其他媒体的:
(2006.11)Can books and stories about characters and events that are not real teach us anything useful?
(2011.1)Should books portray the world as it is or as it should be?
(2011 3)Are photographs straightforward representations of real life, or are they artistic creations reflecting the photographer's point of view?
(2011 3)Do people benefit from forms of entertainment that show so-called reality, or are such forms of entertainment harmful?
如果我们真的能好好去分析研究过往的真题,从而发现题目本身内部的联系,就会发现,总会有一些角度我们是可以操作的。比如媒体,不论是广告,广播,纸媒,还是电影,都是一种传播载体。尽管媒体本身改变了人类交往甚至生活的很多方面,正如传播大师麦克卢汉所言:“媒体即是讯息”。但是对于媒体类题目我们可以转换成一种更简单的思路:不同的载体都承载了同样的讯息。而这个讯息就是我们准备的各种人、事、物的素材。这样,即使广告的话题考生备考时没有接触过,一点也不妨碍我们写作文。毕竟,广而告之的内容,既可以是产品宣传,亦可是公益宣传。除此之外,“advertisement”是一个比较抽象宏观的概念,它可以泛指一种宣传(根据柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典):If you say that an example of something is an advertisement for that thing in general, you mean that it shows how good that thing is. 那么可能有像Rachel Carson 一样的环保主义者推进公众的环保意识;可能有像Coco Chanel一样的品牌缔造者宣传新的风尚;也有可能有些人或者组织为了个人或者一些人的利益别有用心的鼓吹某些糟粕的思想。通过放大或者缩小题目中的具体概念,我们还是可以轻松联系其他题目,找到破题思路。
