　　ACT考试有4部分：英文语言(English)、数学(Math)、 阅读(Reading)、科学(Science)。今天我们从ACT英文语言(English)部分说起……

　　ACT 英文语言部分：

　　Number of Passage :5 篇不同风格的文章

　　Number of Questions: 75道四选一题

　　Time : 45分钟

　　Requirement:15分钟读一篇文章，大致30秒一道题(量比较大，对阅读速度是有要求的)

　　满分 36，全美平均分21，牛分 33-35分

　　考查内容包括：

　　标点符号 punctuation，语法，用法grammar and usage，句子结构 sentence structure;

　　修辞 (手法，文章结构，风格) rhetorical skills (strategy,organization, and style)

　　题型比重细分：

　　标点符号 10 题，占15%。考的挺细的，不光有标准的标点符号用法，还考避免使用标点符号造成歧义的用法，细到hyphen的两种用法都考过。

　　[1] Kingman was keenly interested in landscape painting from an early age. [2] In Hong Kong,where Kingman completed his schooling, teachers at that time customarily assigned students a formal “school name.” [3] His interest was so keen, infact, that he was named after it. [4] The young boy who had been called DongMoy Shu became Dong Kingman. [5] The name Kingman was selected for its two 2parts, “king” and “man”; Cantonese for “scenery” and “composition.”[6] As Kingman developed as a painter, his works were often compared to 3 paintings by Chinese landscape artists dating back to CE 960, a time when a strong tradition of landscape painting emerged in Chinese art. [7] Kingman, however, 4vacated from that tradition in a number of ways, most notably in that he chose to focus not on natural landscape, such as mountains and rivers, but on cities.

　　考点2.

　　A. NO CHANGE

　　B. parts: “king” and “man,”

　　C. parts “king” and “man”;

　　D. parts; “king” and “man”

　　Key：B

　　考点：标点符号(冒号、逗号、分号)

　　语法/用法12 题，占20%。ACT要考时态的结构和用法。

　　句子结构 18 题，占25%。老美最爱的修饰语错位，平行结构等。

　　The facts about bats are more interesting than the falsehoods.

　　A. NO CHANGE

　　B. of more interest then

　　C. the most interesting than

　　D. more interesting then

　　ACT English中几乎不考比较结构的可比性问题，偶尔会考查比较结构的标志词。

　　修辞部分-- Strategy

　　12 题，占20%。Identify author's purpose, tone, main point, theme, etc.

　　主要是对整篇的理解。

　　6 His fine brush work conveys detailed street-levelactivity: a peanut vendor pushing his cart on the sidewalk, a pigeon pecking for crumbs around a fire hydrant, an old man tending to a baby outside a door way. His broader brushstrokes and sponge-painted shapes create majestic city skylines, with skyscrapers towering in the background, bridges connecting neighborhoods on either side of a river, and enormous ships maneuvering out of a busy harbor. To art critics and fans alike, these city scenes represent the innovative spirit of twentieth-century urban Modernism.

　　考点6. Which choice most effectively established the main topic of the paragraph?

　　A. Kingman is considered a pioneer of the California Style school of painting.

　　B. Although cities were his main subject, Kingman did occasionally paint natural landscapes.

　　C. In his urban landscapes, Kingman capture the vibrancy of crowed cities.

　　D. In 1929 Kingman moved to Oakland, California, where he attended the Fox Art School.

　　Key：C

　　考点：段落主旨

　　题目分析：

　　此题考查对段落主旨的总结，此段主要介绍Kingman笔下的urban landscapes，从street-level activity、majestic city skylines的角度具体描述Kingman对城市的刻画，C选项符合要求。A选项：是对Kingman的绘画风格的介绍，与本段对城市景象的描述无关;B选项的natural landscapes，直接排除;D选项，无关。

　　修辞部分 -- Organization

　　11 题，占15%。文章的起承转合。

　　考点5. For the sake of cohesion of this paragraph, sentence 3 should be placed

　　A. where it is now.

　　B. before sentence 1.

　　C. after sentence 1.

　　D. after sentence 4.

　　Key：C

　　考点：文章结构——句子位置

　　题目分析：

　　此题考查Sentence 3的具体位置，从此段看，Sentence 1：Kingman was keenly interested in landscape painting from an early age. 关键词：keenly、interested。Sentence3：His interest was so keen，与Sentence1衔接非常紧密，C选项正确。A选项：扰乱了Sentence2(描述school names)与sentence 4(表明Dong Kingman是Dong Moy Shu的school name)的联系;B选项错误，根据句意，Sentence 3在Sentence 1后面;D选项：扰乱了Sentence 4(Dong Moy Shu的school name是Dong Kingman)与Sentence 5(解释Dong Kingman这个名字的两部分意思)的紧密关系。

　　修辞部分-- Style

　　12题，占20%。措辞，句式。

　　拼写(spelling)和词汇(vocabulary)

　　Perhaps the celebration of New Year’s Day in Korean cultureis heightened because it is thought of as everyone’s birthday party.

　　A. NO CHANGE

　　B. raised

　　C. lifted

　　D. lighted

　　ACT English会有单词的考题，但考的并不频繁，一套题75道，平均1-2道单词题，且考查的单词都比较基础，几乎都在托福单词范围内，如illusion与allusion。
