　　下面，让我们一起来看看亚太考场的整体情况吧!

　　SAT阅读

　　SAT/ACT/SSAT阅读教研组长 田野老师

　　3月机考SAT阅读部分整体难度适中，词汇题占比最高，尤其在选项上难度比较大，为了获得更高的分数，积累词汇是重中之重。

　　根据部分参加考试的教师回忆，有些题目重复了去年的考题，可题目的考察方式并非完全一模一样，有细微的区别。所以参加考试的同学可以适当地参考机经，但并不意味着要把机经作为学习或者复习的重点。主要原因是机经重复的题目并不多，为了所谓的“押题”，而把更多时间放在机经上是得不偿失的。其次，哪怕机经题目出现，在语言上或者出题方式上会有一些差别，所以提高能力才是硬道理。

　　对于阅读部分的备考而言，能够读懂题目中的信息是基础，更重要的是理解段落内部的逻辑关系，把握不同题型的考点，这样在阅读中才可以快速把握重点，从而又快又准地阅读，应对不同难度的题型。

　　本次SAT阅读部分题目回忆如下(内容根据参加考试的教师和学生回忆进行整理，仅供参考，具体考试内容可能和本版本有细微差异)：

　　Words in context 词汇题

　　1.Some robots such as Surena (developed in 2008) and COMAN (developed in 2012) feature humanoid characteristics like bipedal locomotion so that people will find it easier to interact with them. While these features can help to __________ feelings of comfort in people, a robot that looks too like human can fall into the “uncanny valley,” meaning that its appearance unintentionally unsettles those who encounter it.

　　Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

　　A) engender

　　B) constrict

　　C) counterbalance

　　D) repudiate

　　参考答案 A

　　2.The Lascaux Cave paintings—detailed paintings of animals found in what is now France and dating from around 17,000 years ago—are sometimes said to be emotionally powerful despite their age, but in fact the paintings are _____________ precisely because of their age. It is the link of shared humanity with the artists across so many centuries that gives the Lascaux Cave paintings such resonance.

　　Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

　　A) ingenious

　　B) meticulous

　　C) pristine

　　D) affecting

　　参考答案 D

　　Central ideas 主旨题

　　President Richard Nixon is most famous for his participation in the 1970s Watergate political scandal a convoluted tale of criminality and eroded ethics involving a constellation of associates such as White House Counsel Chuck Colson and White House Counsel John Dean. But Nixon’s legacy is complex: he has been praised for his role in creating the Environmental Protection Agency, and he once made an attempt at reforming United States health care policy that is arguably a precursor to the Affordable Care Act, which became law during the Barack Obaina administration.

　　Which choice best states the main idea of the text?

　　A) Chuck Colson and John Dean were significant figures in the presidency of Richard Nixon.

　　B) Richard Nixon is commonly linked with an infamous historical event, but this overshadows some of his notable achievements.

　　C) Some of Richard Nixon’s policies influenced the policies of later presidential administrations.

　　D) Richard Nixon’s reputation is primarily due to the actions of his associates.

　　参考答案 B

　　Details 细节题

　　Michael G. Campana and colleagues relied on historical DNA (hDNA) genomic data incidentally preserved in specimens housed in natural history collections to investigate the evolutionary origins of a fungal pathogen affecting bats. Although this approach offers unique benefits, such as access to genomic data from extirpated populations, it remains a relatively underutilized resource because DNA is often to some extent degraded, a situation not easily remediable under current methodological paradigms and with extant DNA extraction and analysis technologies.

　　Information in the text best supports which statement about hDNA?

　　A. It may yield insights that other types of genomic data cannot.

　　B. It has thus far proved valuable mainly to researchers studying pathogens.

　　C. It may be underused because of its controversial status among scientists.

　　D. It tends to be much more degraded than other types of DNA of comparable age.

　　参考答案 A

　　Inferences 推断题

　　Arthurian legends (tales related to the character of King Arthur) derive from many sources, such as Annaies Cambriae, composed around 970, and the Mabinogion from the 12th and 13th centuries. One of the most significant sources, Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain, was written in Latin in the 1130s; some material from it was later adapted by the Norman poet Wace into the Roman de Brut in 1155. But while no source before 1155 includes references to the famous Round Table at which Arthur’s knights assembled, both the Roman de Brut and Sir Thomas Malory’s 15th-century compilation of Arthurian legends, Le Morte d’Arthur, do. It can therefore be inferred that ___________________

　　Which choice most logically completes the text?

　　A. Malory did not use Annales Cambriae as a source for information [when] he presented about the Round Table.

　　B. Geoffrey of Monmouth’s accounts of Arthurian legends in his History are more similar overall in content to the accounts in the Mabinogion than they are to the accounts in Roman de Brut.

　　C. Geoffrey of Monmouth was unaware of stories of the Round Table when composing his History, though historians know that works containing such stories were available to him.

　　D. Le More d’Arthur is more historically accurate than History, because the Mabinogion had not been written when Geoffrey of Monmouth was writing his work.

　　参考答案A

　　其他词汇题出现的词汇

　　precursor,detractor,biased,dogmatic,interdependent,benevolent,genuine,inconsequential, neutral.

　　SAT文法

　　优秀教师 刘佳烁老师

　　3月SAT文法部分可谓是非常友好。相对于官方给出的4套样题以及2023年的文法部分，难度并无明显变化。所以BlueBook以及2023年的真题仍旧可以作为重要的备考指导，值得同学们去提炼文法知识点以及反复练习。

　　值得一提的还有，不论是conventions of Standard English还是Expression of ideas的部分都出现了去年的原题，这又一次证明了SAT机考题库题目数量依旧有限。

　　自去年开始，SAT文法部分的考试无一例外包含了我们平时所学的全部知识点(如主谓一致、逻辑主语、标点符号、划分句子结构等)，所以只要跟住了文法老师学习和训练的同学在考场上是不会有心理落差的。

　　备考建议：第一步，系统地学习每一块语法module;第二部，进行大量的专项练习;第三步，利用套题进行反复训练、模拟以及反思。

　　SAT数学

　　优秀教师 白蕙桐老师

　　3月SAT数学部分整体难度中规中矩，重点考查的部分都没有发生变化，例如比较常见的：三角函数公式，几何图形的公式、和指数函数的图形变化分析等。

　　Module 1难度适中，和官方试题的难度相持平，但是增加了针对用一元二次函数的考察灵活度。Module 2后面的几道题目略有难度，计算起来较为吃力，能够将同学们的分数拉开差距。尤其是其中几道题干篇幅较长，要求考生准确的定位数据信息，并且完成快速运算。

　　另外，本次数学部分对于知识点的灵活运用能力有了更高的要求，所以考生需要注意在平时学习或做题过程中多加训练自己举一反三的能力。

　　备考建议：把数学部分的每个知识点都掌握扎实，多进行计时刷题训练，建立良好的考试心态，考试的过程中一如往常的稳定发挥，仔细审题避免马虎，计算灵活多加检查，数学拿到满分应该不是一件难事。

　　以上就是3月亚太地区机考SAT的考情回顾啦，希望参加本次考试的同学们都能够取得理想的成绩!
