我对自己的成绩深感自豪,不过,我也是投入了很多时间作了很多练习才获得这一成就的。我相信,无论一个人有多聪明,多幸运,他都必须努力投入SAT考试的准备才可能获得好成绩。我在2004年11月份花了几乎整整一个月准备旧SAT考试,而在此之前的一个月我也准备了2004年10月份的PSAT考试。而且,我也背了SAT的词汇,并且使用旧的《普林斯顿评论》的书做练习。为了考新SAT,我又重新复习,因为这个考试是全新的,并且作了很多变动,我不得不买了新书,我从SAT考试的主办单位美国大学理事会订购了《官方SAT学习指南:新SAT》(《The Official SAT Study Guide: For the New SAT》)。考试的前两个星期,我每个晚上从练习试题中做两三个部分。做完以后,我总要把问题再研究一下,把不会的词汇找出来,重新研究做错的题目,我也根据书上的题目快速地写作文。这些练习使我的准备很充分。所以,我一直认为,一个人无论多聪明,只有努力准备才能获得好成绩。
至于我对大家的建议,我强烈建议以多做模拟考题的方法学习。熟悉SAT的考题模式可以在考试的时候不出意外。在做练习时,如果发现对某个议题不熟悉,就要好好地思考和学习这方面的知识。除了在家里自学之外,还可以参加一些SAT的培训班。此外,虽然新SAT删除了类比部分使词汇不再是最重要的,但是,学好词汇对于批判性阅读部分和填空部分还是很有帮助的。平时多阅读是学习生词的好办法。在作文部分,多看书也是很好的参考,从中可以得到许多例子和论点。在作文中,要给出可靠的、明确的例子来支持论点。同时要牢记,文章的内容和质量比长度和完整性更加重要。
一篇新SAT考试的满分作文——原文与中文译文
王杰西卡的新SAT满分作文原文
Is the opinion of the majority—in government
or in any other circumstances—a poor guide?
The entire idea of democracy centers around “majority rule”,where laws and standards are put into effect if most of the citizens support it. However, if people concentrate on only the majority in each circumstance, they often forget the voices and rights of the minorities. Simply because a person is in the minority of an opinion does not mean he can be ignored, for in a true democracy all the citizens are guaranteed the same rights. Thus in some circumstances strictly following the opinions of the majority is a poor guide to determining what actions to take.
The days before America’s Civil War, when slavery was prevalent, demonstrate that following majority rule often fails to respect people’s moral rights and liberty. The majority of white people in the early 1800’s supported slavery because of the benefits they received from the suppressed blacks. Thus, the government reluctantly allowed slavery to be legal in America, despite the terrible sufferings of the slaves. The degraded slaves underwent uncountable terrifying experiences-they were beaten, separated from their families, and forced to toil laboriously in fields their entire lives. And because the government believed “majority ruled”,the slaves lived in such conditions until the Emancipation Proclamation was written during the bloody Civil War. Had the government not followed the opinions of the clamoring whites, slavery could have been abolished much sooner, and much suffering could have been avoided. Thus, in this circumstance of freedom vs. suppression, the opinion of the majority served as a poor guide to follow by the U.S. government.
Furthermore, the effects of majority rule impact Americans today, for there are many unsolved, controversial issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and homosexual marriages. In the case of “gay rights”, the majority of Americans oppose people of the same sex marrying, and most of the states’ laws reflect this opinion.
However, ignoring the wishes of gays and lesbians by enacting these laws will leave many of them unhappy because they cannot legally “tie the knot” with the person they love. The U.S. Constitution declares that everyone has the right to pursue happiness, but by banning gay marriages, some may be barred from the happiness of marriage. In addition, many oppose stemcell research because they are angered by the fact that embryos are created and then destroyed. Once again, though, if the government passes a law banning such research, the minority may suffer. Stemcell research may save lives by using the cells to specialize in a certain area. Those who would benefit from the discoveries of stemcell research may die
王杰西卡的新SAT满分作文译文
“多数人做主的原则”是否会是个误导?
民主的整个观念是基于“多数人做主的原则”。如果多数公民支持,法律和标准也就因此产生。然而,如果事事集中在多数人身上,人们就会忘记少数人的声音和权利。不能因为持有少数人的观点,这些人就该被忽视,因为真正的民主意味着所有的公民都有一样的权利。所以在一些情况下,严格地跟随多数人的意见行事便会误入歧途。
美国南北战争前,奴隶制猖狂,就说明了多数人做主的原则常损害人们的道德权利和自由。19世纪初,多数白人支持奴隶制,因为他们受益于被压迫的黑人。所以当时的政府不顾奴隶的悲惨遭遇,半推半就地让奴隶制在美国合法化。被蹂躏的奴隶们惨遭无数可怕的经历——被拷打,背井离乡,被迫终生耕作。正是政府信奉“多数人做主的原则”。奴隶们生活在这种状况下,直至南北战争中解放公告的诞生。如果当时的政府没有顺着白人的喧嚷行事,奴隶制可能会更早被废除,许多悲惨的遭遇也可避免。在这自由与压迫的问题上,多数人的意见误导了美国政府。
多数人为准的原则甚至影响到当今美国人民,诸如许多尚未解决的有争议的社会问题:堕胎、干细胞的研究及同性婚姻。在同性恋者的权利问题上,多数美国人反对同性婚姻,这反映在多数州的法律上。然而以法律来制约男女同性恋的愿望,不让他们相爱的人结合,破坏了他们中许多人的幸福。美国宪法宣称人人有权追求幸福,但禁止同性婚姻也就阻碍了一些人的婚姻幸福。进一步说,许多人反对干细胞的研究,因为他们不能容忍胚胎的培养而又被销毁。如果政府又用法律的形式来禁止这些研究,一些人将会遭难。干细胞的研究把细胞运用在特殊领域里,可能拯救许多生命。那些本可受益于干细胞研究的人们可能会死去

杰西卡又“进步”了,她获选为总统学者——一个州只有两位。
另外,杰西卡获得美国大学理事会主办的,西门子基金会奖学金的最高奖学金,成为“国家奖学金”获得者(Siemens Foundation Scholarship, National Winner)——全美国只有两位。这个奖授予在9至11年级期间,参加全国大学课程AP“统考”,在规定的8门数理学科AP考试中,获得最多5分的两位学生,一男一女。在过去三年里,杰西卡已考了十几门AP。
杰西卡为奥林匹克生物比赛美国国家队前20名优胜者之一,将要参加两个星期的集训,竞选4人国家队成员。
杰西卡优秀得登峰造极,不过,她既没有报哈佛,也没有报麻省理工。普林斯顿、约翰霍普金斯等“排名很前”的学校录取了她,但是,从各个因素,特别是专业和自己的兴趣出发,她已经决定上密西根大学,攻读生物医学工程和化学两个专业的学位。已经修过大学高年级课程的她,一入学就将升入大三!
眼下杰西卡正在南征北战,奔波于几个城市,忙于参加种种比赛,还要一门又一门地参加正在进行中的全国AP“统考”,此外,还有种种活动、应酬。她在6月20日到白宫领取总统学者奖之前,还要参加每州仅选拔两人参加的全国青年科学夏令营。
