為滿(mǎn)足廣大留學(xué)家庭對(duì)出國(guó)考試考情以及通過(guò)相關(guān)考試分析提分的需求,語(yǔ)培組特組織業(yè)內(nèi)相關(guān)老師、團(tuán)隊(duì)提供及時(shí)、優(yōu)質(zhì)的考情。
語(yǔ)培組18年3月SAT北美考情版本I
2018年第一場(chǎng)SAT考試(3月)已經(jīng)結(jié)束,在為大家詳細(xì)分析點(diǎn)評(píng)考情之前,先給出我們的一些重要結(jié)論:
1. 試題整體難度變化并沒(méi)有確定的規(guī)律,比如去年(2017)5月亞洲的考試閱讀部分很難并不意味著在亞洲進(jìn)行的下一場(chǎng)考試的閱讀難度(2017.10 Asia) 就會(huì)小于等于2017.5 亞洲考試的閱讀難度
(實(shí)際上,2017.10 Asia的閱讀難度不低于甚至高于2017.05 Asia閱讀難度)所以在考試次數(shù)減少的政策背景下,考生(特別是亞洲考生)報(bào)考考試的決策應(yīng)該基本完全取決于現(xiàn)有水平、備考時(shí)間
(備考期間時(shí)間的靈活性,比如學(xué)校功課,其他考試如AP/SAT Subject)與目標(biāo)分?jǐn)?shù),而不是月份。
2. 難度的變化在改革后的新SAT考試中一定會(huì)體現(xiàn)在出分的Curve上(參考我之前的各種分析),意味著考生普遍認(rèn)為難度較高的考試容錯(cuò)率會(huì)比普通考試有所增加,
Curve會(huì)相對(duì)寬松,這點(diǎn)不僅體現(xiàn)在閱讀部分,語(yǔ)法和數(shù)學(xué)部分也會(huì)體現(xiàn)。
3. CB以后應(yīng)該不會(huì)在亞洲地區(qū)部分/全盤(pán)重復(fù)使用北美使用過(guò)的老題,考生參加考試的安全性和公平公正性可以得到保障
4. SAT閱讀部分考察的歷史文章獨(dú)立于美國(guó)歷史的學(xué)科考試,不會(huì)考察美國(guó)歷史的背景知識(shí),另外正如本次亞洲考試歷史雙篇對(duì)比考察到了英國(guó)殖民統(tǒng)治下的印度政府話(huà)題,
歷史類(lèi)文章完全有可能考察美國(guó)歷史經(jīng)典話(huà)題以外的話(huà)題。
同樣,話(huà)題的考察也沒(méi)有確定的規(guī)律(如去年11月和12月在北美地區(qū)連續(xù)考察女權(quán)問(wèn)題,12月和3月亞洲都沒(méi)有考察美國(guó)歷史經(jīng)典話(huà)題)
5. SAT閱讀對(duì)于細(xì)節(jié)的要求越來(lái)越高幾乎已成定局,無(wú)行號(hào)細(xì)節(jié)題增多,按順序解題不再完全適用,提高了考生對(duì)于宏觀(guān)的文章邏輯框架、微觀(guān)的段落核心意思快速分析、以及詞匯與句子結(jié)構(gòu)基本功的要求,
另外考生需要多加強(qiáng)對(duì)于70-90行的文章進(jìn)行summary的能力訓(xùn)練。
6. SAT 語(yǔ)法部分整體難度和考點(diǎn)維持在一個(gè)相對(duì)友好的動(dòng)態(tài)平衡,強(qiáng)化考點(diǎn)意識(shí)與審題訓(xùn)練,通過(guò)刷題和錯(cuò)題總結(jié)獲得高分段的成績(jī)(350以上)并不困難。
總體來(lái)說(shuō), 本次北美新SAT考試的難度完全驗(yàn)證了我們?cè)诳荚嚽白龀龅念A(yù)估(作為新年的首場(chǎng)考試,總體難度不會(huì)那么高,其實(shí)這次不管是北美還是亞洲地區(qū),
3月的SAT考試對(duì)于中低分考生非常友好,閱讀和語(yǔ)法難度都明顯低于10月和12月的考試):
A. 閱讀部分的難度中等(歷史和最后一篇科學(xué)難度較高)
B. 文法部分的難度低(預(yù)計(jì)容錯(cuò)率很低,大致錯(cuò)3道360分左右)
C. 數(shù)學(xué)部分的難度中等偏低
Section 5已成為常態(tài): 本次考試根據(jù)學(xué)生反饋,CB已經(jīng)大范圍的在北美不考essay的考試中使用加試(出現(xiàn)在Section 5,答題時(shí)間為20分鐘,可能是閱讀/語(yǔ)法/數(shù)學(xué)的任一部分),
不能使用計(jì)算器的數(shù)學(xué)加試比較多,但難度明顯低于算分section, 這點(diǎn)需要考生去注意。
而下面的內(nèi)容是我們針對(duì)這次考試的各個(gè)方面進(jìn)行了解讀, 包括題型, 難度, 考點(diǎn), 以及趨勢(shì)判斷等方面的信息, 來(lái)給各位家長(zhǎng)與考生做出本次新SAT考試的深度考情點(diǎn)評(píng)。

第五篇閱讀文章的閱讀原文:
Gut bugs may boost flu shot's effects
By Kelly Servick
Every year, some unlucky people get the flu even though they’ve had their seasonal shot.
One reason, according to a new study, might be their gut bacteria.
Researchers have shown that, at least in mice, a strong immune response to the flu vaccine relies in part on signals from intestinal microbes.
The findings could help explain variation in the response to the vaccine and suggest ways to maximize its effectiveness.
The microbes that inhabit our bodies—collectively known as the microbiome—may influence everything from obesity risk to food allergies.
Recent studies have also shown that resident microbes affect how our immune system responds to infection.
For example, mice with depleted microbiomes appear to be more susceptible to the flu.
But it wasn’t clear what role the microbiome plays in the response to vaccines.
The new evidence came out of a curious observation that researchers revealed in a 2011 paper.
Bali Pulendran, an immunologist at Emory University in Atlanta, and colleagues were looking for genetic signatures in the blood of people injected with the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine—a mixture of three flu strains.
They wanted to know whether the expression of specific genes in the immune system’s white blood cells correlated with the amount of vaccine—specific antibodies in the blood—which indicates how strongly a person’s immune system responds to the shot, and how much protection that person will gain against future infections.
In a long list of genes associated with strong vaccine response, the researchers found an unexpected one: the gene that codes for a protein called toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5).
“We thought this must just be a coincidence,” Pulendran says.
TLR5 is a sensor of flagellin, a protein that makes up the appendages of bacteria.
Why would a receptor that interacts with bacteria in the gut have anything to do with the body’s response to a virus injected into muscle? Maybe, the group thought, B cells—the white blood cells that produce antibodies—receive a signal from bacteria that boosts their activity.
To explore that possibility, the researchers designed a new study using mice.
They gave the flu vaccine to three different groups: mice genetically engineered to lack the gene for TLR5, germ-free mice with no microorganisms in their bodies, and mice that had spent 4 weeks drinking water laced with antibiotics to obliterate most of their microbiome.
Seven days after vaccination, all three groups showed significantly reduced concentrations of vaccine-specific antibodies in their blood—up to an eightfold reduction compared with vaccinated control mice, the group reports online today in Immunity.
The reduction was less marked by day 28, as blood antibody levels appeared to rebound.
But when the researchers observed the mice lacking Tlr5 on the 85th day after vaccination, their antibodies seemed to have dipped again, suggesting that without this bacterial signaling, the effects of the flu vaccine wane more quickly.
The researchers saw similar results when they gave mice a polio vaccine, which, like the flu shot, uses an inactivated virus and doesn’t contain so-called adjuvants—additives that boost the body’s immune response. Pulendran and colleagues suggest that these weaker, adjuvant-lacking vaccines rely more heavily on bacterial signaling.
(They didn’t see the same results with the live virus in the yellow fever vaccine, for example.)
No specific type of bacteria seemed more important than another in prompting the vaccine response.
But further experiments showed a major role for macrophages—immune cells that display pieces of the virus to activate B cells and that can also recognize flagellin.
Pulendran’s favored explanation is that flagellin manages to break through the lining of the intestines to circulate in the body and activate B cells and macrophages, amping up antibody production.
But where and how the interaction happens “is a huge mystery,” he says.
“We don’t have the full answer.”
文法
本次考試文法部分可以說(shuō)是非常容易,相信我們的學(xué)員可以比規(guī)定時(shí)間提前10-15分鐘做完還留有檢查的時(shí)間。
另一方面,以往的難度較高/易錯(cuò)題型
(如就近修飾--本次沒(méi)有考察,句子刪除保留,詞匯題,introduction and conclusion, transition(previous/next sentence), Logical sequence等干擾選項(xiàng)設(shè)置迷惑性不強(qiáng))
但值得注意的是,關(guān)于同位語(yǔ)雙逗號(hào)的考察本次試卷出現(xiàn)了2次,這正好是沙老
師在全程班上反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)的不能再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)的考點(diǎn)之一,希望所有考生一定要在今后的備考中引起高度重視。
詞匯題有考察advance和elaborate的區(qū)別,hazardous(修飾environment of outer space) , insights, reach conclusions的固定搭配等。

文章主題:1 Agriculture Grows Up

2. A Singer Finds Her Voice (話(huà)題重復(fù)2017.11 北美真題第三篇,考點(diǎn)分布不同)
講一個(gè)著名的歌手Nina Simone是如何通過(guò)她的音樂(lè)推廣民權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)(Civil Right Movement)的。
一開(kāi)始Nina Simone對(duì)用音樂(lè)推動(dòng)政治活動(dòng)持懷疑態(tài)度,但她的朋友Hansberry鼓勵(lì)她最終獲得成功。
3. The Inner Working of Work
圍繞一個(gè)核心概念(Industrial and organizational psychology)展開(kāi),提出公司的productivity取決于員工的滿(mǎn)意程度,
因此公司需要hire一些心理學(xué)專(zhuān)家去幫助提高employee job satisfaction從而促進(jìn)workplace culture and organization。
4.The Road to Recovery
講述瀕臨滅絕的物種沒(méi)有很好地被保護(hù),原因是對(duì)于endangered species的定義過(guò)于模糊,比較了兩個(gè)法案ESA(對(duì)于endangered species分類(lèi)更少更嚴(yán)格)和ICUN (有圖表)
得出對(duì)“endangered species”更清晰的定義有利于提高決策效率。
難點(diǎn)在于43題的圖表,比較了兩個(gè)法案對(duì)于endangered species的分類(lèi)。
數(shù)學(xué)
本次數(shù)學(xué)考試學(xué)員反應(yīng)出存在拼盤(pán)現(xiàn)象(使用部分老題),至于以后會(huì)不會(huì)繼續(xù)延續(xù)這個(gè)模式,其實(shí)對(duì)于大家意義不大,我們需要做的仔細(xì)透徹的研究分析所有真題,而不是重復(fù)的規(guī)律。
本次數(shù)學(xué)考試考察要點(diǎn)都比較常規(guī),統(tǒng)計(jì)的內(nèi)容也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)過(guò)難的考點(diǎn)(比如confidence interval),需要大家注意的知識(shí)點(diǎn):

2. 圓的性質(zhì)、相關(guān)計(jì)算公式和應(yīng)用(包括圓的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)方程)
3. 統(tǒng)計(jì)問(wèn)題(特征數(shù),統(tǒng)計(jì)圖,相關(guān)概念理解等)
4. 單位換算問(wèn)題
