  本次SAT考试的整体难度中等偏上,阅读部分整体难度适中,语法部分难度偏高,数学部分相对比较简单,但是题目中隐藏信息比较多,需要在审题上特别注意。另外由于文章整体难度不高,那就有可能总体curve会偏严格。

  下面课窝考试网主要分析SAT写作考试考情分析,一起看看吧。

  本次写作的阅读文章是考察关于职业摄影师的问题,特点非常鲜明,举了很多的例子,在写这类文章时一定要有选择性的去写,抓取一些突出的,能够便于我们分析的点去写。

  原文如下:

  1. Bill Linfield is a friend, a great guy and a superb amateur photographer who takes pride in his exemplary wildlife and landscape photos.

  2. So why is he persona non grata among the professional photographers in Summit County?

  3. Because Linfield freely — and that’s the appropriate word here — shares his work with the Summit Daily News, which never replaced its beloved longtime photographer, Mark Fox, upon his retirement and which instead relies upon the kindness of strangers for its Page 1 photos.

  4. “I take photos daily because I have a passion for it and enjoy sharing the beauty of where I am able to live and play,” Linfield said. “Besides, if I don’t share my photos, why am I taking them?”

  5. Local professional photographers lament that Linfield and others offering their work without compensation are enabling the paper to devalue photography, which they contend remains an integral part of newspaper storytelling.

  6. Matt Lit, a Summit County photography educator at Colorado Mountain College and a former news photographer, praises Linfield’s work as “quite stunning” but fears it is another step in the inexorable march toward the demise of professional photojournalism. Good photography lures in readers who, as a result, see the advertising that supports the news outlet, he said.

  7. “Once upon a time, I used to earn money selling my photos,” Lit said. “If I sold a photo to a television station to use on their broadcast, that’s air time and that’s valuable stuff. What’s the equivalent ad rate for that amount of air time or for that amount of newspaper space?”

  8. Of course, the issue isn’t limited to Summit County. Newspapers all across the country have been cutting photographer positions, with the Chicago Sun-Times in May taking the extreme position of eliminating its entire full-time photo staff, then saying four of the 28 will be rehired. (The Denver Post has not been immune to industry-wide downsizing, unfortunately, but it still retains the core of its top-drawer photographers, including two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Craig F. Walker.)

  9. Last month, David Becker of PetaPixel pointed out that the annual American Society of News Editors newsroom census, compared year over year, shows that U.S. newspapers are employing 43 percent fewer photographers, videographers and artists than they were in 2000.

  10. In many cases, media outlets now are asking reporters to take cameras with them on assignments or simply relying on “crowd sourcing,” in which “citizen journalists” — basically anyone with an iPhone in his pocket — can snap pictures and willingly share them.

  11. And it’s not just newspapers.

  12. Linfield’s work also has appeared periodically on 9News, where anchor Kyle Clark recently had the audacity to complain in a special on-air editorial that readers were sending in boring photos depicting snowfall on patio furniture.

  13. “Why is it that every time it snows that we whip out photos of our patio sets like we’re showing off baby photos of our kids? Is that really the best we can do?” he grumbled. “We live in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth, but we point our cameras toward the back porch … . Let’s be more original the next time the snow flies.”That’s right: Clark is protesting the quality of free photos that 9News receives from amateurs.

  文章内容梗概:

  文章选自The Denver Post的一篇关于专业摄影师的重要性话题,文章难度中等。

  从第1段到第5段,作者Steve Lipsher从自己的朋友Bill Linfield,一个业余摄影师出于兴趣和对生活热爱而免费提供照片的个人事例开始说起。随后又提出当地专业摄影师对此的抱怨而引出当前摄影工作不被重视的现状。

  第6和7段又引用另一位摄影界专业人士的话而体现了其对于摄影的未来的担忧和无奈。

  而第8段开始,作者又举了极具说服力的事实和例子来证明这不止SummitCounty,而是整个报纸行业都在减少摄影相关的岗位以及低估其工作价值。随后在11段,一句话表明当前这样的影响不仅仅波及报纸行业,以此来凸显问题的严重性与广泛性。

  14段和15段举了另外一个朋友Tim Fraust为个人事例进一步阐述。而16段的平行结构进一步阐明了很多时候摄影师都在充当免费劳动力且不被重视其工作的价值。

  17段笔锋一转,提到一些举世闻名的照片,特别提及了一张关于肯尼迪家族的照片告诉读者,伟大的照片转递给世界的是不只是图像本身,而是生动展现了难以忘怀的故事。最后在第18段,作者强烈呼吁重视摄影不可被低估,并且摄影师应该要给予相应报酬。
