  SAT写作功力的提升是SAT考试中很重要的一个环节,想要取得SAT写作高分,我们需要及早积累地道的SAT写作词汇和句子。为了帮助大家全面提升SAT写作功力,澳际小编为大家整理了TOEFL&SAT写作中常用的经典词汇。

  根据记忆原理,每次记7个短语或句子是比较合适的。

  1. Needy贫穷的

  讲解:说到“贫穷的”很多学生头脑里只能冒出来“poor”这个词。但是如果大家常看BBC等地道英文,会总结出很多表示“贫穷的”说法。比如“impoverished”请看例句:

  The previously free distribution of text books will now be confined to students who are needy.以前免费发放课本,现在只给贫困学生。

  (注:needy主要用以描述群体,不用以描述自己或个人)

  They were impoverished by a prolonged spell of unemployment.他们因长期失业而一贫如洗。

  (注:impoverished尤用于新闻,指贫困国家和生活在贫困国家的人。富裕国家的贫困地区用deprived)

  Poverty-stricken指赤贫的,一贫如洗的,如:a poverty-stricken family in 19thcentury Brooklyn19世纪布鲁克林区一个赤贫家庭

  2. Go to the wall破产

  讲解:BBC NEWS有关中国奶粉丑闻报道曾经用过这个短语。(Chinese milk powder are stymied, and scores of dairy firms have gone to the wall.)大家都知道的一个表示破产的形容词是 “bankrupt”。请看例句:

  The firm will soon go to the wall.该公司马上就要破产了。

  He bought up a bankrupt textile company.他买下了一家破产的纺织公司。

  The company went bankrupt.那家公司破产了。

  3. Disseminate传播

  讲解:我们在写文章时,经常会用到“传播”这个动词比如传播信息,知识等。我们可以用“spread”替换“disseminate”。

  Their findings have been widely disseminated.他们的研究成果已经广为传播。

  The government has a responsibility of disseminating information about disease prevention.政府有责任传播疾病预防的信息。

  4. Pose造成(威胁);引起;产生

  讲解:这个词太常用了!Pose a threat to不管是在SAT还是在托福阅读写作中都会经常出现。

  This poses a threat to agriculture and the food chain, and consequently to human health.这会对农业和食物链造成威胁,由此而危及人的健康。

  He posed a serious threat to their authority.他对他们的权威造成严重的威胁。

  5. Stagnant停滞的

  讲解:今天在BBC NEWS上看到一篇文章,讲得是英国人现在养育小孩特别辛苦。开支特别大。其中用到了stagnant这个词。请看例句:

  This research paints a stark picture of families being squeezed by rising prices and stagnant wages, yet receiving ever-diminishing support from the government over the course of the last year.这句话说很多家庭感到经济拮据,因为物价不断上涨,但是工资停滞,政府资助也是越来越少。(这里squeeze是“使经济拮据”的意思)

  6. Self-made

  讲解:第一次看到self-made这个词是一篇有关钢铁大王安德鲁卡内基的文章。Self-made的意思是 “having become rich and successful through your own hard work rather than having had money given to you”靠自己奋斗成功的;白手起家的

  He was proud of the fact that he was a self-made man.他为自己白手起家而自豪。

  7. Sicken

  讲解:“sicken”动词,生病。BBC有一篇文章 “why China’s milk industry went sour”中有一句话:China’s failure to produce good milk has killed at least four babies, and sickened many thousands of others.中国没能生产出优质的奶粉。这造成至少4个婴儿的死亡,成千上万的婴儿因此患病。

  这些SAT写作词汇的例句全部选自权威词典、主流报刊杂志、名人演讲、TOEFL&SAT写作高分范文等,都是SAT写作中常用的经典词汇,语言地道实用,希望大家认真背诵,熟练使用。
