新SAT的样题虽然不多,但是根据几篇内容已经可以大概掌握出新版阅读的出题规律。新SAT的OG将其阅读题型分成三大块:对文本信息的考察;对作者写作技能的考察;以及综合考察。今天小拜年就从这几个角度,为大家做一个2016年的新SAT阅读的18种题型盘点。
一、Information and Ideas: The Author's Message (对文本信息的考察)
包括以下题型:

2.文本论据的考查
循证题(Citing Textual Evidence),要求为上一题的答案寻找论据或者为某个结论提供论据。

三、Synthesis (综合题),该类指的是涉及到双篇文章的题目或文章与图表综合考察的题目。
1.双篇题(Analyzing Multiple Questions)通常分为取同,取异,互联题。
1)取同题 ,对两篇文章的相同点的考察。如:The crows in Passage 1 and the ravens in Passage 2 shared which trait?
