[新SAT样题4]

[. . . ] His fine brushwork conveys detailed street-level activity: 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 doorway. 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. [. . .]

Which choice most effectively establishes 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 captures the vibrancy of crowded cities.

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

This question asks students to demonstrate an understanding of the central point that the writer is making in the paragraph by choosing the sentence that best signals the paragraph’s main topic. Students must carefully analyze the information and ideas in the other sentences in the paragraph to recognize that urban landscapes (and not natural landscapes) are the primary focus (thereby making choice C the best answer and ruling out choice B) and that a detail about Kingman’s place in the California Style school of painting (choice A) or about Kingman’s background (choice D) would not effectively prepare the reader for the content that follows in the rest of the paragraph.

本题选择C, 考查文章主旨,要求考生在阅读文章是迅速掌握文章主要内容,此题属于新题,之前的老SAT对于文章主旨的考查主要是在IP中考查,为文章选择结论句,尽管相似但是还有不同,因此要求学生以后在学习SAT语法时要注重文章主要信息提取的能力。

Which would make the best concluding sentence for the passage?

Nevertheless, supermarkets are devoting increasingly more space to the display of organic foodstuffs.

Ultimately, whether organic food's lower environmental impact continues to justify its higher cost will be decided by the consumer.

And, as the cost of energy derived from conventional fuels rises, alternative sources will become economically viable.

As an added benefit, when one sort of pollution is reduced, support for sound environmental practices grows.

Still, the issue will not be resolved until the government clearly indicates what is "organic" and what is not.

本题是老SAT2010年10月IP的最后一题,它要求考生读完文章后选择结论句,和样题4类似,但是略有不同。
