例题1:
sat2016改革阅读样题,Questions 3)
This passage is adapted from Richard Florida, The Great Reset. ©2010 by
Richard Florida.
……
It’s ironic that so many people still believe the main
45 remedy for traffic congestion is to build more roads and
highways, which of course only makes the problem worse.
New roads generate higher levels of “induced traffic,” that is,
new roads just invite drivers to drive more and lure people
who take mass transit back to their cars. Eventually, we end up
50 with more clogged roads rather than a long-term
improvement in traffic flow.
The coming decades will likely see more intense clustering
of jobs, innovation, and productivity in a smaller number of
bigger cities and city-regions. Some regions could end up
55 bloated beyond the capacity of their infrastructure, while
others struggle, their promise stymied by inadequate human
or other resources.

3. Which claim about traffic congestion is supported by the graph?
(A) New York City commuters spend less time annually delayed by traffic congestion than the average for very large cities.
(B) Los Angeles commuters are delayed more hours annually by traffic congestion than are commuters in Washington, D.C.
(C) Commuters in Washington, D.C., face greater delays annually due to traffic congestion than do commuters in New York City.
(D) Commuters in Detroit spend more time delayed annually by traffic congestion than do commuters in Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago.
Objective: Students must interpret data presented graphically.
题目考点:Synthesis 综合问题
答案:C
答题思路:考生需从给出的图表中分析数据
解析:图表中较高的柱形条表示每年较长的上下班往返时间,因此图表上从左到右表示的是2011年城市拥堵时间依次递减,所以C选项中华盛顿表示的柱形条比纽约表示的柱形条要高,也就是花费的时间长,所以是正确的。
选项A:纽约和大城市平均值相比,柱形条更高,所以花费的时间是更多而不是更少。
选项B:洛杉矶和华盛顿的城市交通拥堵时间相比,华盛顿的柱形条更高,因此华盛顿花费的时间更多。
选项D:底特律和休斯顿,亚特兰大,芝加哥相比,底特律的柱形条最低,所以交通拥堵的时间最短。
例题2:
College Board联手可汗学院发布的新SAT练习(第2套,第,19题)

19. Data in the graph about per-pound coffee profits in Tanzania most strongly support which of the following statements?
A) Fair trade coffee consistently earned greater profits than regular coffee earned.
B) The profits earned from regular coffee did not fluctuate.
C) Fair trade coffee profits increased between 2004 and 2006.
D) Fair trade and regular coffee were earning equal profits by 2008.
题目询问的是图中信息可以支持哪一个观点。此题我们要做的就是看每一个选项是否能在图表中找到相应的证据,可以理解为图表题中的citing evidence的逆命题题目。
此题A选项表示,fair trade coffee的利润(虚线)要高于regular coffee的利润(实线)。从文中我们可以看到虚线是一直高于实线的,因此可以作为A选项这一论述的证据,即A为正确选项。
相比之下,B中所说regular coffee的利润(实线)并不波动,与图表不符;C中,表示fair trade coffee的利润(虚线)在2004至2006年上升,而图表中在该段时间虚线保持不变;D选项两种咖啡在2008年利润相同,而图中并未出现交点(利润相同的点)。因此B、C、D选项都是错误的。
以上就是小编为大家介绍的新SAT阅读图表题例题详解的全部内容,希望大家通过上述内容的介绍对SAT阅读中的这种新题型有更高的认识和掌握,最后希望大家都能取得理想的成绩。
