SAT 填空真题解析题号 真题时间 解析1 200510 解:这是道两空题。第一空需要我们填一个形容词来修饰 lifting of heavy furniture 这样的行为，搬重家具肯定是辛苦的，劳累费劲的，因此这就是第一空的逻辑。这空只有

C 和 D 符合。第二空来源于 left 引导因果同义，长年的劳苦活会导致什么结果呢？一般是 衰老的结果。C 和 D 的第二空单词意思知道后，答案很显然，C 不对。 句子翻译:长年干搬重家具这样繁重的活使得他疲惫不堪，以至于长时间都驼着背,不 能挺直腰杆。2 200510 解:这是一空题，空格要我们填主语是第一位女人被怎么样，be 表示被动，也就是填这个女人被大家怎么对待。根据同义重复，前面主句说明她被称作是 1985 年度的卡通 家，因此大家对她的态度是尊重和景仰的，选项很简单，迷惑性不大，这道题在知道 选项意思后很快知道 C 是正确答案。 句子翻译：CLJ 这个人被称为 1985 年度的漫画家，她是第一位女人被这么赞扬的。3 200510 解：这是一道两空题。逻辑关系很明显，because 引导因果关系，表示前后同义重复。同时，还有一个关键词 photographer 这个人物特征，这类人就是喜欢到处摄影，拍 照片。那么第一空，野生动物也就是被摄影师拍照，所以第一空就应该填 A 描绘和 B 展现。根据因果，第二空就是说摄影师一生中喜欢经常做什么事。前面说

various,去 不同的地方，所以是经常到处走，也就是旅行。B 选项的 spoke 不对。 句子翻译：因为这个摄影师觉得野生动物只有在不同的自然环境下才摄影地逼真，所 以在她的职业生涯中她老是到处跑。4 200510 解：这是一空题。Such that 是因果关系的逻辑特征词，引导前后同义重复。Such 和

that 后面的内容同义重复，空在 that 的后面，答案来源于 so 后面的内容，很显然，空填 的就是 icon 的同义词，选项中只有 B 表示标志，其他选项迷惑性不大。 句子翻译：由于民间画家 GM 已经成为一个很有影响力的标志人物了，所以很多人都 认为她是美国的象征。选项词汇解析：注意 E 选项的 lobby for,有说官员通过立法。

5 200510 解：这是一道两空题。两空都是形容 substances，前空是说 small 的状态，后面是说large 的状态，我们知道，large 和 small 是反义，那么 substances 的前后两种状态也是反 义，因此，这两空的逻辑就是填一对反义词。我们看选项，有 A 和 C 符合要求。我们 得选最好的，我看 for 的前一句话，发现 C 更好，因为 medicines 和curative, poisons 与 toxic 对应，所以 C 是正确答案。 句子翻译：这种物质是药还是毒取决于服用它的剂量，因为少量服用有些物质没事， 但是服用过多就会带来很严重的后果。

6 200510 解：这是一空题。空要我们填的是评论家对这个设计的态度，后面的 that is伴随状语直接告诉我们答案，C 为正确答案。 句子翻译：评论家批评这个工程师表面看上去很富有创意的设计是过于简单的 ，也 就是说还很初步，不成熟和精密。

8 200510 解：一空题。空要我们填 dust 的状态，是多还是少。后面直接给出答案，much morethan，表示多，很多的意思，那选项里就选表示“多”含义的词。 句子翻译：当彗星在地球附近转动的时候，彗星会产生大量的尘土，要比彗星H 和 H 多的多。

9 200510 解：一空题。后面要我们填的名词人 individuals 后面有直接解释，我们只有把后面的解释特征把握就可以填过来。注意 bequest（遗产）的提醒。 句子翻译：许多私立大学发展都依赖于财团而发展起来，他妈就是那些很有钱的人用 自己的遗产和礼物去支持学校的发展。

10 200510 解：因果关系前后呼应，直接推出答案。句子翻译：在 MM小说里的其中一个主人公被认为是很反动，原因是他故意反抗一个 充满残酷压迫的等级社会。

11 200510 句子翻译：N 这种动物也许是鸟类世界上独一无二喜欢伪装的鸟：它们白天栖息在荫凉的树林里，和周围的环境十分相似以至于很难把他们辨认出来。

12 200510 解：由因果关系直接推出答案。 句子翻译：许多经济学家认为，由于资源的稀缺性和人的欲望不可能全都满足，因此一种分配制度是很有必要的。

SAT 填空真题解析20 200601 解析：首先，空格应该填入一个动词，表示“壁画”（black americans in flight）对宇航员 mj 在 1992 年的太空飞行（the 1992 spaceflight of astronaut mae jemison）做的动作。 没有逻辑转折词，句子为同意逻辑。中间的插入语构成“修饰解释模式”，航空先驱（aviation pioneers）与宇航员 mj（astronaut mae jemison）是上下义词，因此空格中应 该填入“尊重，给予...荣誉（honoring）”的语义。选项 a diserns辨别；b introduces 导 引，介绍；c approximates 使接近，估计；d commemorates 纪念，庆祝；e asserts 断言。

答案选择 d 翻译：“美国黑人飞行家”壁画不仅歌颂了许多航空先驱，同时也在纪念jm 的 1992 年的 那次太空飞行。拓展：mae carol jemison (born october 17, 1956)是第一位美国黑人女宇航员，并且还是一位物理学家。她在 1992 年 9月 12 号与奋进者号进入太空完成太空实验室（spacelab）j 号任务。奋进号的名字也是源自一艘早年的研究调查船，著名英国探险 家詹姆斯•库克船长（james cook）在 1768 年第一次远征时所搭乘的一艘 368

21 200601 文“endeavor”拼法。解析：首先空格 1 填入一个形容词，用来修饰新的杀真菌剂（new antifungal agent）的用途（uses），空格 2 填入形容词，用来修饰抗生素（antibiotics）。其次“from 句子” 同样修饰前面的用途（uses），构成修饰解释关系，因此应该把“from 句子”的语义填 到空格 1 中；抗生素（antibiotics）是杀真菌剂（new antifungal agent）构成语义重复， 因此空格 1 和 2构成“一元方程”模式，所以空格 2 应该体现“空格1+uses”的语义。a disturbing 扰乱的，使人不安的；explicit 明白的，明确的。b innovative 创新的 precipitous 陡峭的；仓促的，急躁的。c 神秘的，不可思议的；recongnized 公认的， 经过验证的。d varied 多种多样的；verSATile 善变的；多用途的（本题涵义）；多才 多艺的。e similar 相似的 discriminating 有辨别力的，有差别的，特征显著的。答案选 d 翻译：这种新的抗真菌制剂既可以治疗荷兰榆树病又可以避免那些被水破坏了的艺术 品收到霉菌的腐蚀，这种制剂有如此多的用处从而被认为是一种具有更多用途的抗生 素。 拓展：广布的致死性榆树真菌病。约在 1920 年首先报导于荷兰，病原为榆梢枯长喙霉（ceratocystis ulmi），此种病毒于第一次世界大战时从亚洲传入欧洲，造成欧洲大量 榆树病死，但奇怪之处在于此中病毒并未对亚洲的榆树造成很大的伤害，1930年始见 于美国，并迅速蔓延至极易感染的美洲榆树（ulmus americana）的生长区

22 200601 解析：空格填入一个形容词，用来修饰“争斗（fighting）”，“rather than”构成前后对比关系，即“a fighting ”应与“和睦的解决纠纷（resolving differences amicably）”相反。 另外，后面的从句与“进攻性行为（aggresive behavior）”构成解释修饰模式，“ behavior”与“fighting”“resolving differences”构成上下义词重复，空格应该填入一个与“ 进攻性（aggressive）”相同且与“和睦的，友好的（amicably）”相反的词。a 喜欢；b 对某事迷惑；c 不理会，漠视；d 对...抱有敌意；e 对...懊悔，悔恨。答案选择 a 翻译：孩子天性就有趋向进攻性行为的趋势，这种趋势就是他们更喜欢战争战斗而不 是去和平和睦的解决纠纷。 拓展：这种情况在小男孩身上体现的尤其明显。考生可以从人的天性方面考虑战争的 起源。

23 200601 解析：空格填入一个形容词，用来修饰 effect，表达体育锻炼有什么效果，后面的从句与 effect构成了解释修饰关系，修饰 effect，前后两句逻辑关系相同，空格中填入“释 放感情压力和精神振奋（releasing emotional tension and refreshing the spirit）”的语义。选项 a 轻蔑的，贬低的；b 令人的虚弱的；c 发泄（感情）的；d 有记忆力的；e 顽 固的。答案选 c。翻译：体验锻炼经常会有发泄感情的效果，这种效果可以释放感情的压力和使人精神 振奋。 拓展：很多从事投行和咨询的人，一下飞机不是去酒店休息而是去健身房，脑力劳动 最好的放松方式不是睡觉，而是体力劳动。24 200601 解析：空格填入一个形容词，修饰“评论（commentary）”，改该“评论”是由“rap andhip-hop”对“当代社会的问题（contemporary issues）”所做的“评论”。寻找相关语义找 到代词“they”，指代“rap and hip-hop”，“because”表示因果关系，句子前后逻辑方向相 同。因此空格应该填入“尖锐的文艺形式（sharp-edged musical genres）”的语义。答 案：a 模糊不清的；b 一针见血的，鞭辟入里的；c 谨慎的；d 单调的，乏味的；e（人）仁慈的，（天气）温和的。翻译：因为 rap 和 hip-hop音乐经常对当代社会的问题提出鞭辟入里的评论（针砭时 事），所以它们经常被认为是尖锐的音乐形式。拓展：rap 和 hip-hop 都是来源自美国黑人，他们的社会和经济地位决定了这两种音乐形式的内容，作文中考生可以从黑人音乐入手，联系种族歧视或是黑人权利问题。25 200601 题意解析： 当竞争者能力相当时，比赛充满悬念，也就是结果不确定，正如中国队和巴西队比赛 踢足球，基本能预言巴西赢，但若是巴西队对阵阿根廷队，鹿死谁手就不知道了，故选择 E。中文释义： 许多粉丝感到体育比赛只有在比赛的竞争者能力相当，比赛结果不确定的情况下才令 人兴奋。

SAT 填空真题解析277 201001 6. 状语从句，解释说明主句。 Gwen 对于她的沙漠旅行非常怀抱希望（ambitious），但是它却被酷热所阻碍了，这 种酷热削弱（impede）了她的精力（strength）与意志（resolve），是她―――并且―

――。这两空必定要与前文的 strength 和 resolve相对应，她肯定被酷热折磨得筋疲力 尽，意志动摇了。只有（E）项中 debilitated（衰弱）disheartened（沮丧）能够与题意 相符。故答案为（E）。

278 201001 7. Because原因句+yet转折句。因为古希腊的塑像是没有装点的，白色的（spare, white appearance），所以这些塑像 应该被认为是简朴的，无装饰的。根据第一空可以排除（B）（C）两项。然而，在 最近被发掘的塑像，却展现了曾经被亮色颜料装点的遗迹（traces of bright pigment），所以说他们是被装点 过的，但是注意题干中的 not，不能误选成（A），否则与 not连接后与句意相悖。因 此要选择装点的反义词，即unadorned，构成双重否定。故答案为（D）。

279 201001 8. Example 句，后句举例解释前句。 以前的新闻主持人（anchor，熟词僻意，这里anchor=anchorman/anchorwoman）曾经 把一场政治竞赛描述成“Spandex tight”（可以推断出这是一种巧妙的比喻或者引用 等），所以他应该擅长某种表达方式。（A）项，意思是他反感格言警句，而 example 中没有体现他的反感情绪。（B）项，意思是他擅长书信，Dan Rather 作为一个 anchor，example 中他的描述应该是在节目中描述的，而不是通过书信来描述的，否则 句子中应该有特别交代，并且与例子所表达的侧重点不同，所以说这个意思并不能与 句意吻合。（C）项，意思是他爱好多彩的语言风格，这样就能与后文相连贯。（D）项，意思是他爱好多彩的 paradigm（1.榜样，范例 2.词形变化），paradigm 的两 种意思都不能与 Spandex tight联系上。（E）项，意思是他厌恶委婉的语言，example 中强调的是他运用的一个比喻去描述 political race，所以不能体现他对委婉语（euphemism）的厌恶（antipathy）。故答案为（C）

280 201001 1.状语从句，解释说明前句。主句中已经讲了 Lan Cao 的这本书描写的是心理活动（mood）而不是事实（fact）， 从句中进一步说明，这本书描述的是她情感上的真实，而不是现实意义的真实。只有（D）项中 emotional 和 literal可以吻合。故答案为（D）。

281 201001 2. Because原因句。 Alejandra 和 Raina从来没有允许过两人之间意见上的冲突，也就是说两人的关系一直 很融洽，没有冲突，因此他们的 friendship 应该是长久坚固的，只有（E）项 steadfast 可以满足句意。故答案为（E）。

282 201001 3. Example句。第二句说，这个顾问反复的呈现一些捏造的数据（fabricated data），设法来欺骗（dupe）这一组科学家。这是一种严重的欺骗行为（grievous example of fraudulent）。Fraudulent 这个词与 fabricated 和 dupe完美对应。故答案为（E）。

SAT 填空真题解析283 201001 4. 冒号句，前后两句相互说明。 据说大象可以闻到几英里之外的水，可见它们的嗅觉是十分强大的。只有（B）项 acute：灵敏的能够与句意相符。故答案为（E）。

284 201001 5.So that 句。That 后的句子表结果。 导致全球变暖的因素在工业化的国家应该是非常显露的，顽固的，不可轻视的。根据此意在第一空处可以排除（B）（C）和（D）项。既然这些因素很顽固，不可忽视，说明并没有什么简单的方法可以根除或者是减轻这些因素的影响。由此意又可以排除（E）项。故答案为（A）。

285 201001 6. Actually转折关系。 这个证人的证词实际上（actually）是加强了对这个嫌疑人的指控。这说明，这个证 人本来的用意（meant to do）是什么？当然是要去保护这个被指控的人，是要去为他 辩护，没有想到却适得其反。所以说，证人是想去加强对被指控者的辩护和保护（bolster the defense of the man accused of the theft）。故答案为（E）。286 201005 1.填空中应该是 Barbara 在“Unsuccessful in her first campaighs”后做了“ ”，然后可以 引出了后面的结果。所以做的内容和结果的逻辑应该是一致的。从结果中

Barbara 选 举成功可以得出“ ”应该是个积极正面的词，即A。并由此排除负面的词 B.gloated（贪婪的，幸灾乐祸的）D.despaired（绝望的）以及无关的词 C.retired（退休的）D.hesitated（犹豫的）287 201005 2 冒号“：”表明后半部分解释前半句。所以“become asthmatic”和“problem”对应；“ ”和“children who wash frequently”相对应，即“cleanliness”

288 201005 3. 前后分句是因果关系。另外 and 后的填空应该和 believable 是并列关系，同时“next tonews reports”和最后的空格是相对应的意思，即 positoning（指 next to news reports这种 位置）。所以是 D

289 201005 4. Since 后面解释了“it is unlikely that he intended to the article”这个行为的原因是“文章从自传中引用”，非“plagiarize”。另外 despite 表面前后转折关系，即 accusation”针对 的是“ the aritcle”的行为。综上得出是 plagiarize article，所以选 C

290 201005 5. 冒号“：”表明后半部分解释前半句。所以选项中的两个词应该是相近意思的词。后半句中可以看出 Ralph唯一还在创作中的手稿在火灾中遭受了“ ”（后半空格的内 容）是“a written manuscript”的一个“ ”的特点。由此可以看出D 项符合逻辑：Ralph唯一还在创作中的手稿在火灾中遭受了“破坏”（后半空格的内容）是“a 291 201005 6. 冒号“：”表明后半部分解释前半句。所以“great resolve”和第一个空是相对应（determined），“no illusion”与第二个空相对应“realistic”

292 201005 7. 冒号“：”表明后半部分解释前半句。“filthy”和“dilapidated”与“ ”近义，表明condition。所以答案 A.squalid(污秽的, 不洁的, 邋遢的)

301 201005 3. （1）rather than 前后相反关系。所以应该是表达“不准确，不清晰”的一个词，即为B（2）although 表示转折关系，说明老师可以从这些不精准的描述中仍能探索出有意义 的科学学习。B 项符合逻辑

302 201005 4. because 因果关系。“entrepreneur”和前面的空格相对应，“donate money to charaity”和后面的空格对应。所以是 E

529 201405 空格对应逗号后的信息---需要逐字逐句地重复证词时能用的着，相当于做了逐字书面备份，选择A 选项 verbatim: in the exact words(逐字的)。

530 201405 通过 on the contrary可以判断空格与分号后的 interactions“相互作用”取反，所以选 D选项 isolation“孤立”。

531 201405 此题突破口在第二空，通过 threatens“威胁到”可以看出第二空是会造成负向影响的词语，此时只能排除 felicity“幸福，快乐”，再通过 overwhelm“压倒，压制”可以判断第二 空只能在 fulsomeness“过度，过量”和 superfluity“过量，多余”中选择。这时候可以看出 冒号后的信息---大量的细节描写破坏了有说服力的观察结果---是负向评价;第一空是 对 prose“措辞风格”的描述，考虑到 in all ways but one“各方面都很……除了一件事”这 种欲抑先扬的表述，使第一空与冒号后信息取反，因此为正向评价，选 E 选项的 exemplary“模范的”。全句大意是：她的写作风格在各方面都是模范除了一点 ，那就 是她那大量的细节描写掩盖了真正有说服力的东西。
