下面小编为大家整理了如何消灭SAT阅读中的"四大怪兽"，大家可以在备考的时候根据自己的掌握情况借鉴参考SAT阅读解题方法，获得SAT阅读考试高分。
1. Sentence Completions
The Sentence Completion section is always the first monster you'll have to battle when you enter the fray of SAT Reading. She comes first, and you'll usually have to knock out about 8-10 of her death rays before moving on to the passage-based reading sections. Sentence Completions are…drumroll, please…short sentences in which one or two of the words are left blank. It is up to you to pick the word or words that best fit in the blanks from a selection of five answer choices. This is the part of SAT Reading where your vocabulary mettle is tested to its fullest. 所以SAT阅读中的句子填空部分是最考查单词量的部分!
Method of Attack: Deceptively short sentences lure you in, but big words in the answer choices challenge the strength of your vocabulary.
2. Passage-Based Reading: Short Passages
In many ways, this section is easier to handle than Sentence Completions, and if you encounter it second (which happens a lot), it serves as a nice breather and warm-up for the Long Passages and Passage Comparisons that are waiting around the corner. Take full advantage, and enjoy the break.这一部分相对而言是最轻松的部分，所以可以利用做短阅读的时间take a break!
The Short Passages usually come in groups of two. One is the loneliest number, after all. 短阅读通常是两个一组出现的，只有一篇的话着实显得太寂寞!lol The best defense you can have against these guys is knowing that you probably won't even have to read them to get the right answer. Get out of town.做这种阅读最好的防御是你需要知道就算你不读文章也可以得知正确答案，所以你需要侧重注意的地方是速度和技巧。
With the Short Passages, it's all about speed and strategy. Each passage is only a paragraph (or about 15 lines) long and has just two questions attached to it. Think about what this means. If you notice that the question only asks for the meaning of a specific sentence or word, then you can forget the rest of the paragraph and dive right into bubbling in the answer.如果问题仅仅是问一个特定的句子或者单词的意思，你可以直接看着问题回答而不用看文章。 If, however, a question asks you for the main argument of the passage as a whole, rest assured that it will only take you about a minute to zip through to pick the right answer choice. 但是如果问题问的是关于这篇文章的中心论点你则应该去浏览一下文章，但是这也不会是很费事儿的事情。
Method of Attack: Super-random topics, large words sprinkled in, but paragraphs are a snap to read quickly.
Weapons You'll Need: Vocabulary skills, an ability to scan, knowing when to read and when not to read the passage.
Before you know it, it will be a breeze to deliver that one-two punch necessary to destroy the twin bosses of Short Passages and move right along to the next foe. 关于这部分制胜的法宝是要培养自己浏览阅读的能力，要知道自己哪里该读哪里不用读。
3. Passage-Based Reading: Long Passages
This Mini Boss will try to put you in a temporary daze or hypnotize you so it can get you when you're not paying attention. Luckily, we have some strategies to help you avoid those sleeper-beams and maintain your high comprehension skills from beginning to end. 这部分的阅读就需要你在一个“非睡眠”的状态下完成了，为了在这部分取得高分，你需要很专心并且拥有很强的理解能力。The selections cover a wide range of topics and disciplines: You could be reading about jazz flute one minute and the behavior of kangaroo rats the next, but as long as you're able to stay focused, read actively, and take careful notes, these Long Passages can be terminated with a couple swift strokes of the pencil.这些长文章涉猎的话题非常广，你可能前一分钟还在读关于爵士笛的文章后一分钟就在读关于袋鼠的行为,所以这要求你需要一直保持专注而且要积极地投入其中，认真地做笔记。
Method of Attack: Put you to sleep with long and seemingly boring topics, ask you about specific areas of the passage that you need to dig for, ask thematic-based questions.
Weapons You'll Need: Your pencil. No, seriously, the best way to stay awake through these drowse-inducing passages is to take active, thorough notes, write in the margins, underline key words, and circle important symbols and names. All that good stuff. Underlining and note-taking also helps you retain and keep track of what you just read so it will be easier to go back and find the answers when you need 'em. 对付这种长文章最好的方法(也是让自己保持自己清醒的最好方法)就是用笔做笔记，在空格处写下自己的理解，在重点词下面画线，或者把重要的意象比喻或者名字等等圈出来。总之就是把好的东西通通标注出来。
4. Passage-Based Reading: Passage Comparisons
Arguably the most challenging of these four Mini Bosses, the Passage Comparisons require you to understand not one, but two passages, and how they relate to each other. 这是SAT阅读中最具有挑战性的部分，因为你要读懂两篇文章而且需要找出它们之间的关系。 They can be tough, but are definitely not out of your league, brave hero.
The good news? Each passage is not nearly as long as the Long Passages. 好消息是这里的每篇文章没有之前一部分的长文章的长度长，有时候甚至只有一个自然段而已。Sometimes they are only a paragraph each. This fact means you do not have to deal with tackling a huge chunk of reading all at once. Also, if you keep in mind that you are primarily being tested on how these two passages relate to one another rather than needing to understand every single sentence of each one, beating this boss becomes much easier. 还有一个特别值得注意的地方是你需要知道阅读这种文章最关键的地方不是要去读懂每一个词句而是要读懂两篇文章的关系。Imagine the Passage Comparisons as two monsters having an argument over the best way to defeat you. You can sneak in while they're deciding whether "flamethrower" or "eaten by bears" would be the most effective method, figure out each of their weak points, and knock 'em out in no time.
Method of Attack: Two different viewpoints or arguments about the same topic, so you'll have two different authors' opinions to contend with. You will often be asked to decide how the author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to a statement made by the author of Passage 2. These guys do not get along.通常两篇文章的观点不一样，所以你总是会被问到去推测出类似于文章1中的作者会对文章2中的作者做出的陈述给出神马反应。
Weapons You'll Need: An ability to recognize where each passage differs from the other and what this implies about each author's viewpoint. It's like watching people on a talk show discussing the latest gossip about Lady Gaga, except these passages will be about things like Charles Darwin, comic books, or ancient Greek mythology. 你需要的武器是认清楚每篇文章中提出和对方观点不一样的地方然后这些地方说明了作者的观点分别是什么。这就像在电视上观看讨论Gaga大婶儿的脱口秀一样，只不过这些文章把Gaga大婶儿换成了达尔文，漫画书，或者古希腊神话而已。
以上就是如何消灭SAT阅读中的"四大怪兽"，大家在备考SAT考试的时候，可以根据自己的实际情况，对SAT考试进行不同程度的准备，以便对SAT考试有更加全面的应对。
