SSAT考试改革词汇解析.

刚刚更新 编辑: 浏览次数:367 移动端

  2012年10月13日,SSAT考试进行了变革。参加过这场考试的学生普遍反映“变难了”、“好多单词不认识”。这次改革幅度还是比较大的,作文题由一个变成二选一,一个是续写小说,一个是开放式命题;阅读中散文和诗歌比重加大;数学部分难度加大,出现开方、一次函数、创新题等等。下面具体说一说SSAT考试词汇部分的变化。

  与老SSAT相比,新SSAT的词汇部分形式上没有变化,三十道同义词题,三十道类比题,时间上也没有变化,六十道题的完成时间是三十分钟。

  变化的部分是题目的难度增大,同义词的核心词汇更难,我们举几个例子:

  老SSAT同义词题:

  1. PLEAD ( )

  A strike B cry C tease D beg E try

  2. VEX ( )

  A scribble B locate C scream D play E irritate

  3. DOZE ( )

  A graze B sleep C rresh D bore E ignore

  新SSAT同义词题:

  1. FIASCO ( )

  A thorough dejection B total failure C regret D calculation E inexperience

  2. AILMENT ( )

  A enthusiasm B ignorance C illness D affection E arrival

  3. RETORT ( )

  A sharp answer B arrogant demand C deafening shout D naive question E convincing argument

  类比题难度也有上升,逻辑关系更复杂,举例如下:

  老SSAT类比题:

  1. Caterpillar is to butterfly as ( )

  A salmon is to fish

  B egg is to dinosaur

  C tadpole is to frog

  D nest is to chick

  E worm is to bait

  2. Tailor is to clothes as ( )

  A butcher is to meat

  B farmer is to milk

  C wrangler is to cows

  D cobbler is to shoes

  E teamster is to trucks

  3. Parrot is to jungle as tuna is to ( )

  A stream B lake C pond D ocean E lagoon

  新SSAT类比题:

  1. Piccolo is to flute as ( )

  A house is to building

  B pony is to horse

  C tree is to woods

  D brick is to plank

  E calf is to lamb

  2. Obese is to rotund as ( )

  A gaunt is to angular

  B thin is to muscular

  C stout is to obstinate

  D clumsy is to gracul

  E beautiful is to lovely

  3. Paint is to corrosion as grease is to ( )

  A combustion B contraction C friction D flotation E rotation

  面对越来越难的SSAT词汇部分,我们应该采取哪些应对措施呢?

  首先,心态要放轻松一些,同时引起重视。万变不离其宗,单词是基础,扩大词汇量是王道。SSAT词汇大有向SAT甚至GRE词汇靠拢的倾向。

  其次,类比题要善于分析总结,在这里向推荐大家老GRE的类比题作为补充练习题。

  以上就是SSAT考试词汇变革前后的区别。例举了一些试题和应对措施。同学们在备考SSAT考试时,一定要打好词汇这一基础,将词汇的复习贯穿考试始终。
