考生們對(duì)act考試了解多少呢?考生們又是如何復(fù)習(xí)act考試的呢?下面大家就隨小編一起去看看吧!

　　1、直接事實(shí)題

　　此類題目一般是就文中所提供的信息進(jìn)行直接提問(wèn)，需要考生找到正確的對(duì)應(yīng)處，并作同義轉(zhuǎn)換。

　　原文： “The revisionist interpretation, which I support, does not enshrine dinosaurs as paragons of intellect, but it does maintain that they were not small brained after all. They had the “right-sized” brains for reptiles of their body size.”

　　譯文：我所支持的修正主義者的解釋，就是不把恐龍視為智力的模范，但是也主張他們畢竟不是小腦。對(duì)他們這種身形的爬行動(dòng)物來(lái)說(shuō)，他們的腦的大小正好合適。

　　題目：According to the passage, what is the revisionist interpretation concerning the relationship between intelligence and physical size?

　　A. Dinosaurs actually had relatively large brains.

　　B. Dinosaurs were paragons of intellect.

　　C. Dinosaurs were relatively small brained.

　　D. Dinosaurs’ brains were appropriately sized.

　　答案：D

　　分析：直接事實(shí)題根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，做直接的同義轉(zhuǎn)換，此處將right-sized改寫為appropriately sized，屬于正確改寫。而A選項(xiàng)將其改寫為relatively large，不正確。

　　注意：直接事實(shí)題常見(jiàn)錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)的特點(diǎn)為故意丟失not，如B選項(xiàng)中的paragons of intellect與文章相同，但是丟失了not，因此具有一定迷惑性。同樣，C選項(xiàng)中的small brained也與文章完全相同，但也故意丟失了not。

　　2、舉例作用題

　　此類題目就文中的例子進(jìn)行提問(wèn)，需要考生回答此例子在文中所起的作用。

　　原文： “Government is so technical that even career civil servants cannot explain what is happening. In 1978 I attended a seminar on federal estate and gift tax, where the Internal Revenue Service lawyers responsible for this area frankly confessed that they did not understand the Tax Reform Act of 1976.”

　　譯文：政府是如此的有技術(shù)含量以至于甚至連公務(wù)員都不能解釋正在發(fā)生著什么。1978年，我出席了一個(gè)聯(lián)邦資產(chǎn)稅收的研討會(huì)，在這里負(fù)責(zé)的美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)稅局的律師坦白地承認(rèn)到，他們不明白1976年的稅收改革法案。

　　題目：The author uses the description of the tax seminar in 1978 to make the point that some governmental issues are:

　　A. so technical that not even career civil servants can understand them.

　　B. so technical that only career civil servants can understand them.

　　C. more technical than they used to be before the passage of the Tax Reform Act.

　　D. too technical for anyone other than an Internal Revenue Service tax lawyer to understand.

　　答案：A

　　分析：作者在文中描述一個(gè)例子的作用就是為了證明一個(gè)結(jié)論，所以，舉例作用題的答案為例子之前或之后的結(jié)論句。一般，由for example開頭的例子，結(jié)論句在之前。如果例子結(jié)束后出現(xiàn)therefore，則therefore之后為結(jié)論句。本題結(jié)論句在例子之前，即Government is so technical that even career civil servants cannot explain what is happening. 通過(guò)同義改寫，得到A選項(xiàng)。B選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤原因依然是故意丟失not。

　　注意：舉例作用題常見(jiàn)錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)為選項(xiàng)中重現(xiàn)例證中原文，比如此題的C, D選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)的Tax Reform Act和Internal Revenue Service。

　　3、推論題

　　此類題目與直接事實(shí)題不同，不是就文中的信息進(jìn)行直接的提問(wèn)，而是考查作者所寫的某處內(nèi)容實(shí)際暗示了什么。

　　原文：“The remarkable thing about dinosaurs is not that they became extinct, but that they dominated the earth for so long…”

　　“People, on this criterion, are scarcely worth mentioning—5 million years perhaps since Australopithecus, a mere 50, 000 for our own species, Homo sapiens…”

　　譯文：恐龍最著名的一件事情不是他們滅絕了，而是他們占據(jù)了地球如此之長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。

　　人類，在這種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)下，根本不值得一提——大概5百萬(wàn)年前的南方古猿，僅僅5萬(wàn)年前的我們自己的物種，智人。

　　題目：In the context of the passage, what does the author mean when he states that “people … are scarcely worth mentioning” (lines 81-82)?

　　A. Compared to the complex social behavior of dinosaurs, human behavior seems simple.

　　B. Compared to the longevity of dinosaurs, humans have been on earth a very short time.

　　C. Compared to the size of dinosaurs, human seem incredibly small.

　　D. Compared to the amount of study done on dinosaurs, study of human behavior is severely lacking

　　答案：B

　　分析：解答推論題時(shí)方法如下：

　　1)如果定位句位于段首，或定位句后有冒號(hào)，破折號(hào)時(shí)，往后找答案。

　　2)如果定位句中有this等代詞時(shí)，則往前找答案。

　　3)如果定位句既位于段首，句中又有代詞，則同時(shí)讀句前和句后，并作比較，得出答案。

　　此題屬于第三種情況，讀上文，知“恐龍占據(jù)地球的時(shí)間如此之長(zhǎng)”;讀下文，得“人類，在這種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)下，不值得一提”。兩者相比，人類在地球上的生存時(shí)間比恐龍短，所以正確答案選B。

　　注意：靈活應(yīng)用“豎讀選項(xiàng)法”，此題中選項(xiàng)開頭相同，可通過(guò)豎讀選項(xiàng)，快速得到各選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵詞，以方便解題。
