SAT阅读素材使用推荐汇总

E. PSAT真题:

----详细情况: PSAT考试, 属于美国学生在参加SAT考试之前, 可以选择参加的一项用来评估自己SAT分数的考试(其总分为240分, 简单地说, 每分可以对应SAT考试的10分). PSAT每年举行2次, 都是在10月份, 其中一次为周三, 另一次为周六, 间隔只有3天. 考试结束之后考生会知道自己的分数, 同样可以拿到自己的考卷和答题情况. 为什么这里要专门讨论PSAT考卷这个资料呢? 因为从考察的题型和难度来讲, PSAT真题可能是除了SAT真题的QAS之外, 在出题思路和考察要点上和SAT真题最为相似的一份资料了. 唯一的差别在于PSAT的难度略小于SAT, 题目数量也比SAT要少. 但是在还没有背完单词, 想要练习却又没有足够的资料的时候, PSAT的阅读可以成为大家最好的准备材料.

我手上有17份PSAT真题, 全部来自2000年之后的PSAT考试, 有一些无法确定精确的考试时间, 我用编号来代替:

下面来看一篇SAT阅读素材：Game design。

Game design

Game design starts with an idea,[3][4][5][6] often a modification on an existing concept.[3][7] The game idea may fall within one or several genres. Designers often experiment with mixing genres.[8][9] The game designer usually produces an initial game proposal document containing the concept, gameplay, feature list, setting and story, target audience, requirements and schedule, staff and budget estimates.[10]

Many decisions are made during the course of a game's development about the game's design; it is the responsibility of the designer to decide which elements will be implemented, based on, for example, consistency with the game's vision, budget or hardware limitations.[11] Design changes may have a significant positive or negative impact on required resources.

The designer may use scripting languages to implement and preview design ideas without necessarily modifying the game's codebase.

Game mechanic designer designs and balances gameplay mechanics.

Level designer or environment designer is a position becoming prominent in the recent years.[31] Level designer is the person responsible for creating game environment, levels, and missions.
