SAT閱讀題目中考察的修辭方法

1、SAT閱讀題目中考察的修辭方法在SAT考試中，閱讀在考試中占有重要一地，每道題都顯得“分分必爭”。但是英語中的修辭手段很多，常常致使很多學(xué)生難以攻克。下面文都小編給大家介紹一下在SAT考試中閱讀題目中出現(xiàn)的典型的考題。例一：Paragraph 4 (line 29-37:Yawning can also be a Sign of stress in humans. Once, when observing airborne troops about to take their first parachute jump, I noticed that several of the soldier

2、s were sitting in the plane and yawning. It was 10 A.M., just after a research is a time-consuming coffee break, and I doubted that they were tired; I knew for a fact that they were far too nervous to be bored. When I asked about this, the officer in charge laughed and said it primarily was really q

3、uite a common behavior, especially on the first jump.15. The author uses which of the following in the fourth paragraph (lines 29-37 ?(A Understatement(B Personification(C Analogy(D Metaphor(E Anecdote講解：這道題很簡單，作者通過敘述自己的一件親身經(jīng)歷的事情來證明段落開頭的分論點即“Yawning can also be a Sign of stress in humans”所以作者在這里所運用的

4、就是E項 ANECDOTE(軼事。例二：Passage 1 (line 3-9For millennia, parents have recognized the newborn s basic need for safety, nourishment, warmth, and nurturing. Now science has added stunning revelations about human development from birth to age three., confining that parents and other adult caregivers play a

5、 critical role in influencing a childs development.9. Lines 3-9 of Passage 1 (For millennia . development draw a parallel between(A traditional practices and contemporary critiques(B basic human needs and intellectual endeavors(C widespread beliefs and scientific findings(D parental anxieties and de

6、velopmental advances(E experimental hypotheses and proven theories講解：這道題是對平行結(jié)構(gòu)(PARALLEL這種修辭手段的考查。出題人要求考生識別出作者在文中對上千年來人們的信仰和科學(xué)新發(fā)現(xiàn)的對比。因此，此題的答案為C項。例三：Passage 2 (line 46-56Doctors, architects, executives, consultants, receptionists, and lawyers all manage to survive economically without owning their cog

7、nition. I take further comfort in the fact that the human species managed to produce pretty decent creative work during the 5,000 years that preceded 1710, when the Statute of Anne, the worlds first modem copyright law, passed the British parliament. Sophocles, Dante, da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelang

8、elo, Shakespeare, Newton, Cervantes, Bach- all found reasons to get out of bed in the morning without expecting to own the works they created.15. The use of the phrase pretty decent in Passage 2 (line 50 conveys(A solemn detachment(B cheerful celebration(C ironic understatement(D lingering doubt(E r

9、eluctant approval講解：此題難度較大，是使很多考生很困惑的一道修辭手段題。原文作者想要告訴讀者：在世界上第一部知識產(chǎn)權(quán)法到來之前的幾千年歷史長河中，人類也創(chuàng)造了“還不錯的”藝術(shù)作品。很顯然，文章結(jié)尾的那些偉大藝術(shù)家的名字使我們立刻了解到作者所謂的“還不錯的”藝術(shù)作品并不是他字面的意思。他實際上是運用了一種輕描淡寫的方式使自己的語言更具說服力。而這種輕描淡寫的方式就是C項中的IRONIC UNDERSTATEMENT.例四：line 75-82Uncle: Take care! take care! (warning her with voice and hand that tr

10、embled alike.Niece: Why? What shadow of power have you over me? Why should I fear you?Uncle: Take care, madam!Niece: Scrupulous care I will take, Mr. Sympson. Before I marry, I am resolved to esteem-to admireto love.14. In lines 80-82 (Scrupulous.love, Miss Keeldar deflects the warning from Mr. Symp

11、son by(A deliberately misunderstanding his meaning(B scornfully turning the blame back on him(C childishly mocking the tone of his comment(D lamenting his failure to sympathize with her(E justifying her previously sensible behavior講解：這是一道很是隱晦的修辭手段題。全文就是一個女孩和自己的監(jiān)護人爭吵得過程。他們的矛盾焦點就是這個女孩子是否要嫁給一個自己不喜歡的男孩子的問題。到了第80行左右，兩個人的爭論已經(jīng)到了白熱化。監(jiān)護人警告女孩：“你給我小心點兒!”但是女孩兒卻十分聰明的把CARE這個詞理解成“照顧”。所以她說“我會小心謹慎的照顧自己的!”很顯然，女孩兒時故意
