　　On the ACT Science Test, you'll have 35 minutes to answer 40 questions—that's about 50 seconds per question! The section contains seven passages, each followed by 5-7 questions.

　　在ACT科学考试中，你将有35分钟的时间回答40个问题，每个问题大约有50秒!该节包含七个段落，每个段落后面有5-7个问题。

　　You don't have to be a scientist or know the atomic number of Cadmium to succeed on the ACT Science Test. All that's required is common sense. You'll be given passages containing various kinds of scientific information—drawn from the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy, and meteorology—which you'll have to understand and use as a basis for inferences.

　　你不必是科学家或知道原子序数的镉才能在ACT科学实验中成功。所需要的只是常识。你将得到包含生物学、化学、物理、地质学、天文学和气象学领域的各种科学信息的段落，这些信息你必须理解和使用作为推论的基础。

　　ACT Science Question Format

　　行为科学问题格式

　　Usually there are six passages that present scientific data, often based on specific experiments. Also, there's usually one passage in which two scientists state opposing views on the same issue. Each passage is followed by 5-7 questions. A warning: some passages will be very difficult to understand, but they'll usually make up for that fact by having many easy questions attached to them. The test makers do show some mercy once in a while.

　　通常有六个段落提供科学数据，通常是基于特定的实验。此外，通常有两个科学家对同一问题持相反观点。每篇文章后面都有5-7个问题。一个警告：有些段落会很难理解，但他们通常会用许多简单的问题来解决这个问题。测试人员偶尔也会表现出些许怜悯。

　　Top 8 Strategies for the ACT Science Test

　　ACT科学测试的8大策略

　　Read through the instructions carefully, to orient yourself

　　仔细阅读说明书，定位自己。

　　Don't worry about details on your initial read-through

　　不要担心你最初阅读的细节

　　Always refer to the passage and the question-stem before selecting an answer

　　在选择答案之前总是引用段落和问题梗。

　　In order to read most graphs and tables, you have to do four things: determine what's being represented, determine what the axes represent, take note of units of measurement, and look for trends in the data

　　为了阅读大多数图表，你必须做四件事：确定代表什么，确定轴代表什么，注意测量单位，并在数据中寻找趋势。

　　When reading data, you should be on the lookout for the three characteristic patterns or trends: extremes (maximums and minimums), critical points (or points of change), and direct or inverse variation (or proportionality)

　　当阅读数据时，你应该注意三个特征模式或趋势：极端(最大值和最小值)、临界点(或变化点)和直接或反向变化(或比例)。

　　If time is a problem, focus on the questions that require analyzing data from just a single table or graph

　　如果时间是一个问题，集中于需要从单个表或图表中分析数据的问题。

　　Don't waste time trying to figure out which scientist is "right." Just worry about understanding their different viewpoints

　　不要浪费时间去弄清楚哪个科学家是对的，只是担心理解他们的不同观点。

　　Don't panic if you don't understand both scientists' positions. Many questions will hinge on just one of the arguments.

　　如果你不了解科学家的立场，不要惊慌。许多问题只取决于其中一个论点。
