SAT閱讀真題及答案解析（一）

SAT考試真題是很重要的備考資料，那么，很早以前的真題資料還有參考性嗎？其實大家可以先以最近真題為主，以前的真題資料為輔進行練習。下面西安SAT小編為大家整理了一篇SAT閱讀真題及答案解析，供大家參考。  

Passage 1  Every age, after his own, has gone in search of Shakespeare. The first biography was written in 1709. Now it is a poor year for the Shakespeare business when two or three more do not show up on bookstore shelves. We want to know who he was hoping that the narrative of his life will somehow explain the genius of his writing. But it never does. We find him but who we find only adds to the mystery. How is it that a man without a university education, a glover's son from a small Warwickshire market town, could have written the plays and poems that have spoken to generations of readers and theatergoers?  Passage 2  Stratford. Shakespeare's hometown, has become an almost sacred place of pilgrimage, with tourists waddling reverently around the spectacularly tasteless cathedral of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. An impressionable few of them are even moved to doff their caps or discard their ice creams. Shakespeare's familiar high-domed head, an image that is quite possibly not him at all, has adorned everything from TV beer commercials to British currency. He is the presiding genius of the national spirit, a kind of hero in a neck ruff. Without him industries would crash and ideologies crumble. It is even rumored that he also wrote plays.  分析： Passage1 對Shakespeare是正面的態度。而Passage2 對Shakespeare是負面的態度。從首句的tasteless cathedral就可以看出。整個P2比P1要難以看懂些。P2的每一句都是對Shakespeare的一個諷刺，不明白為什么去悼念他，諷刺整個經濟對他的依賴，諷刺人們對關于他評論的盲從。  點擊文檔鏈接，可查看更多信息 點擊文檔鏈接，可查看更多信息
