本书首先将新SAT 阅读的问题分成13 类题型,在Unit I 中逐一讲解;在Unit II 中,又根据考试的题材,分成3 大题材(小说、历史与社会科学、自然科学)专门论述。在讲题型的过程中使用了各类题材的例题,同时在讲题材的部分又编写了各类题型的练习,真正从两个维度对阅读进行了讲解与训练。尤其值得注意的是,在讲解题材的部分,书中引用了《少年派的奇幻漂流》(Life of Pi)、《简· 爱》(Jane Eyre)、《远大前程》(Great Expectations)、《了不起的盖茨比》(The Great Gatsby)以及乔治· 华盛顿(George Washington)、帕特里克·亨利(Patrick Henry)、温斯顿· 丘吉尔(Winston Churchill)等名家的演讲。社会和自然科学部分讨论了引力波、全球变暖、野生动植物保护、美国的移民政策等内容。对于这些内容熟悉的读者一定会在本书的阅读过程中有所心领神会。Unit III 部分则注重讲了做题顺序、猜测等辅助性的小技巧,非常实用。
三、配有7 套高仿真模拟题
在讲解完所有题型与题材之后,本书的Unit IV 还配备了7 套完整的高仿真模拟题。这些套题的题材分布、题材、题量与难度均与真实考试完全一致。当然,这些题目也充分贯穿了本书主体部分的思想。读者可在每学完一个Unit 之后拿一套题来练习,也可在考前用来模考。
