距离1月24日SAT考试只有一周时间了,为了方便广大考生更好的复习,澳际留学小编为大家具体介绍一下历年SAT作文真题题目汇总及解题思路,希望对大家备考SAT写作考试有所帮助。下面一起来看一下具体题目吧。
第一题
Should heroes be dined as people who say what they think when we ourselves lack the courage to say it?英雄是否应该定义为这样一种人:当我们缺乏勇气表达自己内心想法的时候,他们却勇于说出自己的真实想法?
解题思路:
这类题目比较简单,同学们一般会联想到的论据是马丁·路德·金、甘地、曼德拉、哥白尼、伽利略、布鲁诺、 达尔文等等。由此,我们引出第一类论据:人物论据。实际上,人物论据是我们在解决SAT题目时使用最多的一类论据,大约可以应用于大约60%以上的题目。
同学们在备考过程应该找3~5个名人,把他们研究透彻,用到文章里面去。这些名人应该具备以下一些品质:勇敢、坚强、乐观、追求卓越、百折不挠、逆境成才、勇于挑战权威、积极服务他人等等。
第二题
Do you think that ease does not challenge us and that we need adversity to help us discover who we are?顺境不足以挑战我们,我们需要逆境来了解自己,是否同意?
解题思路:同第一题,利用人物论据。
第三题
Is conscience a more powerful motivator than money, fame, or power?良知是不是一种比金钱、荣誉、 权利更为强大的驱动力?
解题思路:人物论据。
第四题
Do we need other people in order to understand ourselves?
我们是否需要他人以了解自己?
解题思路:
此题引出两类论据:
一、个人经历;二、企业论据。
个人经历比较简单,写一个发生在自己身上或身边的故事即可。企业论据可以写企业通过观察竞争对手,发现自己身上存在的不足。比如肯德基和麦当劳,诺基亚和索尼爱立信,波音和空中客车等等。
第五题
Is the world changing for the better?世界是不是越来越好?
解题思路:
此题引出两类论据:
一、科技发展的好处;二、科技发展的坏处,主要体现在环境污染方面。
科技发展的好处很 多,可以写医学的进步延长寿命、农业的进步养活人口、家用电器方便人类生活。环境污染可以分类展开:水污染、大气污染、土壤污染、噪音污染、固体废物污染,等等。
第六题
Can success be disastrous?成功会不会带来灾难?
解题思路:
同第五题。如果写不会带来灾难,则写科技发展的好处。如果写会带来灾难,则写科技进步导致环境污染。
第七题
Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make them better?让我们生活变得更加简单的 那些变化,是否让我们的生活变得更好?
解题思路:
同上题。写科技发展的好处,或者写科技发展造成环境污染。
第八题
Is there always another explanation or another point of view?是不是总存在另外一种观点?
解题思路:
同意。科技进步的确方便了我们的生活;但是从一个角度来看,也污染了我们的生存环境。
第九题
What motivates people to change?什么促使人们改变?
解题思路:
这类题目要求考生自主定义。马叔戏称之为“爽歪歪”题型,原因是只要把我们之前写过的题目中的关键词填在这里就可以了。
比如说,如果我们写过第一题,我们就可以说Courage motivates people to change.
如果我们写过第二题,我们就可以说Adversity motivates people to change.
同理,如果我们写过第三题,我们就可以说Conscience motivates people to change.(或者Money, fame and power motivate people to change.)
第十题
Is deception ever justified?谎言是否正确?
解题思路:
这道题除了可以写自己生活中的谎言,也可以来自于文学作品和战争历史中的White Lie(善意的谎言)。
比如, 《了不起的盖茨比》中的男主人公,为了获得真爱,不得不欺骗自己的爱人。
再比如,南北战争中,南方军队为了保存实力、避免伤亡,利用战术蒙骗了北方军队。我们可以写谎言不好,比如结合时事,有些企业欺骗消费者,由此带来巨大伤害。
