SSAT考試改革詞匯解析.

　　2012年10月13日，SSAT考試進(jìn)行了變革。參加過(guò)這場(chǎng)考試的學(xué)生普遍反映“變難了”、“好多單詞不認(rèn)識(shí)”。這次改革幅度還是比較大的，作文題由一個(gè)變成二選一，一個(gè)是續(xù)寫(xiě)小說(shuō)，一個(gè)是開(kāi)放式命題;閱讀中散文和詩(shī)歌比重加大;數(shù)學(xué)部分難度加大，出現(xiàn)開(kāi)方、一次函數(shù)、創(chuàng)新題等等。下面具體說(shuō)一說(shuō)SSAT考試詞匯部分的變化。

　　與老SSAT相比，新SSAT的詞匯部分形式上沒(méi)有變化，三十道同義詞題，三十道類比題，時(shí)間上也沒(méi)有變化，六十道題的完成時(shí)間是三十分鐘。

　　變化的部分是題目的難度增大，同義詞的核心詞匯更難，我們舉幾個(gè)例子：

　　老SSAT同義詞題：

　　1. PLEAD ( )

　　A strike B cry C tease D beg E try

　　2. VEX ( )

　　A scribble B locate C scream D play E irritate

　　3. DOZE ( )

　　A graze B sleep C rresh D bore E ignore

　　新SSAT同義詞題：

　　1. FIASCO ( )

　　A thorough dejection B total failure C regret D calculation E inexperience

　　2. AILMENT ( )

　　A enthusiasm B ignorance C illness D affection E arrival

　　3. RETORT ( )

　　A sharp answer B arrogant demand C deafening shout D naive question E convincing argument

　　類比題難度也有上升，邏輯關(guān)系更復(fù)雜，舉例如下：

　　老SSAT類比題：

　　1. Caterpillar is to butterfly as ( )

　　A salmon is to fish

　　B egg is to dinosaur

　　C tadpole is to frog

　　D nest is to chick

　　E worm is to bait

　　2. Tailor is to clothes as ( )

　　A butcher is to meat

　　B farmer is to milk

　　C wrangler is to cows

　　D cobbler is to shoes

　　E teamster is to trucks

　　3. Parrot is to jungle as tuna is to ( )

　　A stream B lake C pond D ocean E lagoon

　　新SSAT類比題：

　　1. Piccolo is to flute as ( )

　　A house is to building

　　B pony is to horse

　　C tree is to woods

　　D brick is to plank

　　E calf is to lamb

　　2. Obese is to rotund as ( )

　　A gaunt is to angular

　　B thin is to muscular

　　C stout is to obstinate

　　D clumsy is to gracul

　　E beautiful is to lovely

　　3. Paint is to corrosion as grease is to ( )

　　A combustion B contraction C friction D flotation E rotation

　　面對(duì)越來(lái)越難的SSAT詞匯部分，我們應(yīng)該采取哪些應(yīng)對(duì)措施呢?

　　首先，心態(tài)要放輕松一些，同時(shí)引起重視。萬(wàn)變不離其宗，單詞是基礎(chǔ)，擴(kuò)大詞匯量是王道。SSAT詞匯大有向SAT甚至GRE詞匯靠攏的傾向。

　　其次，類比題要善于分析總結(jié)，在這里向推薦大家老GRE的類比題作為補(bǔ)充練習(xí)題。

　　以上就是SSAT考試詞匯變革前后的區(qū)別。例舉了一些試題和應(yīng)對(duì)措施。同學(xué)們?cè)趥淇糞SAT考試時(shí)，一定要打好詞匯這一基礎(chǔ)，將詞匯的復(fù)習(xí)貫穿考試始終。
