【SAT写作高分技巧】当我们在读文章时，我们要读些什么?

新SAT写作考试想要取得高分成绩，有一项很关键的因素就是“读”。一篇好文章里的每一句话都不是空穴来风，每句话各有各的作用。这句话对SAT写作同样适用，因为在写之前，我们需要先读一篇650-750词的文章。而这篇文章的阅读质量将在很大程度上决定后面的写作质量。所以，今天为大家讲的写作高分技巧就是如何读文章？读些什么？

当我们在读文章的时候，我们要读些什么? "是什么"和"为什么"，前者指每句话是什么意思，后者指每句话在段落中的作用和联系，或每段话在全文中的作用和联系。

下面小编想结合两篇新SAT写作样题选段细谈。

以下选取新SAT写作样题Let There Be Dark第一段演示。

原文

(S1) At my family's cabin on a Minnesota lake, I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes. (S2) I knew night skies in which meteors left smoky trails across sugary spreads of stars. (S3) But now, when 8 of 10 children born in the United States will never know a sky dark enough for the Milky Way, I worry we are rapidly losing night's natural darkness before realizing its worth. (S4) This winter solstice, as we cheer the days' gradual movement back toward light, let us also remember the irreplaceable value of darkness.

分析

(S1) At my family's cabin on a Minnesota lake, I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes. (S2) I knew night skies in which meteors left smoky trails across sugary spreads of stars. 【回忆儿时黑暗纯粹】(S3) But now, when 8 of 10 children born in the United States will never know a sky dark enough for the Milky Way, I worry we are rapidly losing night's natural darkness before realizing its worth. 【现状堪忧，与前两句形成对照】(S4) This winter solstice, as we cheer the days' gradual movement back toward light, let us also remember the irreplaceable value of darkness.【勿忘黑暗的价值=段落主旨，S1-3的对照是为了引出S4所作的铺垫。】

整段结构：S1-2 VS S3 → S4

以下是新SAT写作样题Bag Ban Bad for Freedom and Environment第7段。

原文

(S1) The description of plastic grocery bags as "single-use" bags is another misnomer. (S2) The vast majority of people use them more than once, whether for lining trash bins or picking up after their dogs. (S3) (And still other bags are recycled.) (S4) Since banning plastic bags also means preventing their additional uses as trash bags and pooper scoopers, one unintended consequence of the plastic bag ban would likely be an increase in plastic bag purchases for these other purposes. (S5) This is just what happened in Ireland in 2002 when a 15 Euro cent ($0.20) tax imposed on plastic shopping bags led to a 77 percent increase in the sale of plastic trash can liner bags.

分析

(S1) The description of plastic grocery bags as "single-use" bags is another misnomer. (S2) The vast majority of people use them more than once, whether for lining trash bins or picking up after their dogs. (S3) (And still other bags are recycled.) 【塑料袋不是一次性的，会被多次循环使用】// (S4) Since banning plastic bags also means preventing their additional uses as trash bags and pooper scoopers, one unintended consequence of the plastic bag ban would likely be an increase in plastic bag purchases for these other purposes.【禁止商店提供塑料袋的后果之一是购买量增加】 // (S5) This is just what happened in Ireland in 2002 when a 15 Euro cent ($0.20) tax imposed on plastic shopping bags led to a 77 percent increase in the sale of plastic trash can liner bags. 【一个实例，爱尔兰曾经对塑料袋征税导致销量上升。】

段内逻辑关系：S1-3是S4的前提，或者S4是S1-3的结论。逻辑是因为塑料袋会被多次使用，所以禁止商店提供只会导致人们被迫购买，毕竟使用需求在那里。S5是用一个实例支持前方纯理论分析的正确。

整段结构：S1-3 → S4 ←S5

所以本段重点是S4：one unintended consequence of the plastic bag ban would likely be an increase in plastic bag purchases for these other purposes.遗憾的是，三分之二的学生判断为S1。

很多考生之所以文章理解出偏差，就是因为没有分析清楚段落句群内部的关联。有的虽然判断正确，但不知道为什么是这样，单纯凭语感碾压。这些都不是好习惯。希望大家在平时写作备考中能够多多分析文章中句子的含义及作用。在动笔之前养成良好的阅读习惯。
