怎么识别SAT阅读考试中的“关系题”？

今天课窝小编为大家整理了SAT考试中如何识别“关系题”，希望对正在准备SAT考试的考生有所帮助，顺利通过2018年SAT考试。

一、如何识别“关系题”

新SAT阅读题中总有那么几道题问考生原文段落中各部分的关系是怎样的?

具体来说，主要考察原文中所提及的事件、原文中提及或引用过的人物，以及观点之间的因果，对比，递进等关系。另外，就是在paired passage中，也会经常考两篇文章中的ideas 或者是topics之间的关系。

童靴们在如果在题干中看到有下面这些词儿，那就是在暗示我们这道题就是考“关系”：

“What is relationship…”

“connects with”

“related to”

“caused by”

二、常见的几种关系

1) Cause-and effect/sequence(因果/顺序关系)

What happens first?

What happened next?

These relationships are generally chronological in nature - perhaps a new technology has built on the innovations of previous technology, or a lawsuit cited in the passage came about as a result of a certain crime committed.

主要考察事情的前因后果以及发展先后顺序。

2)Comparison-contrast(对比/类比关系)

While trying to argue a point, an author may bring in another idea to either provide contrast or show similarity. Are these two things alike in any way? Or are they completely different? Do they support or refute the other?

主要考察两个观点之间的异同，二者是互为支持还是相互排斥。

3)Adding support(支撑关系)

Especially after the author makes some sort of claim, the passage will often offer evidence to support the claim. This may include citing a study or quoting an expert whose opinions agree with the author.

考察研究或者专家观点对作者观点的支撑关系。

4)Personal relationship(人物关系)

These relationships are between people mentioned in the passage. Are these two people related, or are they coworkers? Do they have similar views, or is the author showing us the difference betweentheir viewpoints?

考察人物身份关系以及二者所持观点的异同。

三、如何破解“关系题”

Step 1

Find the two parts of the passage mentioned in the question.

在原文中找到题干所涉及的观点、事件或人物。

Step 2

Determine the relationship between the two situations or ideas (cause/effect, part/whole, comparison/contrast, claim/support)or people (parent/child, rival/rival, colleague/coworker).

根据上述提供的关系，判断观点、事件、人物二者的关系。

Step 3

Eliminate any answer choices that do not fit the relationship you have determined, or that simply do not make sense in the context of the passage.

排除不符合原文所描述的关系的干扰项。

Step 4

Choose your answer from the remaining answer choices - whichever choice has more support from the passage.

锁定最佳答案。

下面看两个栗子：

例1.

解析：

根据题干可以看出，本题考察的是因果关系。从原文可以看出，Crimsworth之所以不喜欢原文中的narrator，是因为Crimsworth感觉自己比narrator低人一等，因为narrator的智识和专业能力过人，也许会在某一天成为“a successful tradesman”(line 43)。

所以D才是最正确的答案，原文中并没有说narrator “high spirits” 或是“rash actions,”，也没有说narrator的“humble background”， A，B，C答案均不符合题意。

例2.

解析：

本题考察的是对比/类比关系。从原文来看，Stanton将男人和男性特征做了一番对比。在原文第69-80行，他提到男人争强好胜的性格特征是为了征服别人，换句话说，男性的这些性格特征给男人赋予了权力结构的定位。

所以D是最佳答案，这一段作者讨论的重点并非男女抑或物质世界和精神世界的对比，也不是讨论“好男人”的标准，所以A，B，C答案不是最佳答案。
