2014年1月11日SAT真题
Critical Reading > Sentence Completions 完成句子
Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
With the 1969 film The Learning Tree, Gordon Parks proved what a truly ------- artist he was: he not only directed the film and composed its musical score, but also adapted its screenplay from his own novel.
(A) complacent
(B) protean
(C) lauded
(D) clairvoyant
(E) harried
2014年1月11日SAT考试官方每日一题答案:B
解析:Choice (B) is correct. The structure of the sentence indicates that the word that fills in the blank will be explained by the part of the sentence that follows the colon. We are told that Gordon Parks adapted the screenplay for The Learning Tree "from his own novel," wrote music for the film, and directed the film. Because of his involvement in several different aspects of the film, it makes sense to describe Parks as "protean," or demonstrating great variety and diversity.
2014年1月12日SAT真题
Writing > Improving Sentences 改进句子
Part or all of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.
The advent of innovative computer and communications technology toward the end of the twentieth century ushered in a new era, not dominated by industry anymore, rather it was information.
(A) era, not dominated by industry anymore, rather it was information
(B) era, it was dominated by information over industry
(C) era, which was not dominated anymore by industry but rather information
(D) era dominated by information rather than industry
(E) era dominated not by industry, but it was information
2014年1月12日SAT考试官方每日一题答案:D
解析:Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the awkwardness and wordiness of the original by using the idiomatic phrase “dominated by information rather than industry” to characterize the “new era” discussed in the sentence.
