SAT阅读--错误选项的特征

 在SAT阅读的做题过程当中，有些题可以通过直接地与原文对照选择出来。但有些选项却与原文表达改写较大，很难直接辨认选择出来，这时候我们就要通过排除法去做题，把错误的选项排除掉。那么错误的选项有什么特征呢？

1. 无中生有。选项中出现文中没有讲到的概念。这种选项在SAT中出现的频率最多。 

例如：    

Whistling and moaning, a 50-mile-an-hour wind whipped among the telescope domes atop Kitt Peak. A few feet below, turning gray in the dusk, slid a river of clouds that had been rising and dropping all day. High above, comet Hale-Bopp hung like a feathery fishing lure, its tail curbing off a bit, as if blown to the side by the punishing wind. One by one, stars winked on in a darkening sky. Nearby, wild horses wandered past. They never glanced skyward at the gossamer swath of Hale-Bopp nor at the wondrous spectacle that is the night sky on a clear night, comet or no. 

It felt good to be human.

In line 12, the author implies that being "human" include.

(A)making occasional mistakes

(B) enjoying the company of others

(C) reflecting on past experiences

(D) appreciating nature's beauty

(E) seeking joy through simplicity

分析：这一题问的是关Human的信息哪个是正确的。我们发现，文章到了最后，才提到有关human的相关信息----做人正好。我们来看一下这几个选项：(A)人类会经常犯错误。这个是文中没有提及的信息。(B)喜欢他人的陪伴。这个信息文中没有提及。(C)回顾过往的事情。这个信息也没有提到。(E) 从简单中寻求快乐。这个信息也没有提到。只有(D)欣赏大自然的美景，在文章中通过最后一句提及到。文章中说做人类真好，与上面野马从来不看天不欣赏美景做对比，突显人类有欣赏美景的能力。所以，如果我们不确定，可以通过排除法，把我们认为没把握的选项去掉，从而选出最合适的选项。

2. 选项本身错误。选项中的意思，与原文的意思相反。

例如：

The Second World War was a watershed event for all Americans. It brought the Great Depression to an end and marked the beginning of significant socioeconomic and political changes for women and racial minorities. Chinese American women played an important role in these long-term changes.

Galvanized by motives ranging from Chinese nationalism to American patriotism and feminism, Chinese American women initiated an outpouring of highly organized activities in such areas as fund-raising, propaganda, civil defense, and Red Cross work. While some women in San Francisco's Chinatown enlisted in the armed services, many others went to work in businesses the first time.

Which best characterizes the relationship between the relationship between the first paragraph and the second paragraph?

(A)The first paragraph relates an anecdote that illustrate a generalization made in the seconde paragraph.

(B) The first paragraph presents a claim that is supported in the second paragraph.

(C) The paragraphs offer different explanations for the same phenomenon.

(D) The second paragraph digresses from the topic discussed in the first paragraph.

(E) The second paragraph challenges the validity of the argument made in the first paragraph.

分析：这一题问的是第一段与第二段的关系哪个是正确的。我们先看看文章，第一段讲二战给社会带来了很大影响，同时为女性带来了巨大的影响，特别是对美国华裔妇女。第二段讲述二战对华裔妇女的具体影响。下面，我们就来看一下这几个选项：(A)第一段提及到了一段有趣的故事，它说明了第二段所作的概述。这个与文中提及的信息相互违背的。文章中提及的是第一段是概述，而第二段具体谈及例子。(C)对同一个现象进行不一样的解释。这个信息文中信息想违背。(D)第二段的信息相对于第一篇跑题了。这个信息错误，注意，SAT里面不可能出现文章上下段落跑题的现象。SAT的文章是相对来说很客观的。(E) 第二段挑战了第一段的可行性。文章提及的是这两段是相互支持的。只有(B)第一段提出观点，第二段提出支持的信息才正确。如果我们不确定，可以通过排除法，把我们认为没把握的选项去掉。

3. 绝对词，极端态度词错误。这类词的错误非常频繁。平时在做题的时候，如果时间紧，可以优先排除这些选项。

绝对词有：Only, merely, nobody, none, all, little, nothing, always, extreme, perfect. 

极端态度词：cynical, cynicism, ambivalence, ambivalent, ambiguous, ambiguity, impassivity, indifferent, apathy, apathetic等。

“Something could happen to you” was a variety of dangers outside the locked doors of our apartment. I listened to Mami’s lecture with downcast eyes and the necessary, respectful expression of humility. But inside, i quaked. Two days in New York, and I’d already become someone else. It wasn’t hard to imagine that greater dangers lay ahead. 

The narrator’s mood at conclusion of the passage is best described as one of

(A) apathy and sullenness.

(B) anger and bewilderment

(C) defeat and resignation.

(D) fearfulness and uncertainty

(E) resentment and defiance

分析：当SAT文章一旦涉及到作者的态度的时候，都会比较客观，所以那些极端的，或者显得作者比较不理智的选项都是错的。(A)中的apathy无情，错。(B)生气，错。(E)resentment憎恨，很极端的选项，错。剩下(C),(D),根据文中的意思，作者内心震撼了，担心不知道未来还有什么事情接踵而来，更多的是害怕与不确定，多以应该选的是D选项。

以上就是SAT阅读里面选项最多的特征：

1. 无中生有

2. 信息与原文相反

3. 包含绝对词，极端词

当我们熟悉这些选项特征的之后，用排除法做题便会更轻松。
