The Passage - Part I
Transcript
在前面的课程中，我们通过了这段经文，我们应用了积极阅读的概念。
So now that we've actively read the passage, I just reproduced a little bit of the excerpt right here.
And so what you can do if you didn't actually watch that video or watched it a while ago, you can pause right now.
好的，我假设你暂停了，你可以再次暂停。我假设你暂停了，你有一点点你需要 understand at least the first couple of questions. So let's look at that first question. 根据该段落，为什么Erskine最初是有动力的，展示叙述者W.H的肖像？
再次，我们在这里有了我们的背景。他们在这家伙在鸟笼步行中闲逛。 Apparently that's a real place. And they're discussing the topic of forgeries. The narrator is sharing his opinion here. And then Erskine, his little buddy, says, what would you say about a young 有一个奇怪的理论和实际上伪造的人来证明这个理论？
And then, of course, the narrator says, ha, I wasn't expecting you to say that. And then, Erskine says, yes, this is quite different. 让我告诉你Cyril Graham，他把我留在这里。这个小图片。 And so, you can say, there's, he's setting this up. This idea of a conversation about forgeries, and then someone he 知道实际上犯了一个伪造，并给了他在这个框架中的照片。
因此，为什么Erskine最初显示叙述者这个肖像？讨论伪生的这一点。 What if someone makes a forgery to prove a theory, is that a good thing then? So that works with answer A. So again, we need to go back to the passage after reading the entire thing, find the relevant part, talk our way through what the paragraph is about at a high level, and then find that specific answer.
Now what about B, to share a long-held secret? Now, why isn't this the answer? In fact, you actually want to pause this if you haven't already. It's always a good idea to pause these questions in fact and 尝试自己回答它们。但我们已经把答案作为一个，但为什么不b？
好吧，它在这里说，最初是有动力的。他可能会在段落中分享这段长期秘密，但 even that's a little bit questionable. But originally, what's the point to make a point about forgeries? 他向文章询问了这个问题，然后向他展示这张照片。他肯定不想卖这幅画 he doesn't want to discuss something, and there's beauty in the passage, and beauty and art and all that stuff.
但他不是想说嘿，我会和你谈谈美丽的本质。不，它让我们更多地讨论福特里，让我向你展示一个特定的。 Okay, next question, and again this was kind of a not necessarily a main idea or big idea, but relatively specific, but you had to find the right part of the passage. 我们现在所拥有的第2号是一个非常具体的问题类型，这被称为词汇和上下文问题。
It's always set off by two quotation marks, just like that. Therefore, we know what we have to do is the following. 回到段落思考，呵呵，我可以想到好奇吗？事实上，完全忽略了好奇的这个词， 因为考试作家所做的是他们已经说过嗯，当高中的孩子想到好奇这个词时，他们想到了什么？
好吧，他们可能思考奇怪或古怪的东西，这些东西几乎总是不是实际的话语意味着什么。 So come up with our own word here. And let's read. 当我们击中伪造的一些空白话题时，我在他漂亮的小房子里用餐在他漂亮的小房子里用餐。
我开始在这个好奇的话题就这个有趣的话题分享我所有的精彩意见。 侵入性就像到处都是生长的杂草，不，这并不完全有意义。 But interesting does match up pretty well. Now, another trick they can throw at you is to kind of 松散地描述了在段落中可能会发生的事情。
And, you might even think, oh well forgeries are kind of controversial. And, that maybe he's stating this controversial opinion. I see the word quarrel here, oh no controversy. But that's not actually how the word is used here. 其次，最终，无论这个词是什么，它必须具有实际的字典定义。
你会发现好奇，定义第7号，引起争议，争论刚刚不存在。 然而，这可能是第二或第三种定义，意味着有趣，所以再次，我们所做的，我们回到那里，我们忽略了这个词， 试图根据上下文提出我们自己的单词，摆脱了与我们认为这一单词的类似词语。
And we were careful not to pick answers that didn't really describe that specific word, or didn't really fit where that specific word was, but just kind of talked about stuff in general around the paragraph, so don't pick that one. Okay, so that was vocabulary in context. 现在我们有另一种问题。但我实际上不会告诉你这个问题类型，而且 actually I'm not gonna have you pause it either and try to do this question.
我要走了我们这个，因为我会在这里做一个点，我认为重要的是不要试图回答这种老式的方式。 古老的方式是什么？好吧，你读了这个问题，叙述者最初认为是什么 关于莎士比亚十四行诗可能的奉献的替代理论？好吧，老式的方式是回到通道并弄清楚，好吧， where is this.
There's no line reference, they're not telling me where in the passage it is. But I can see Shakespeare's sonnets, so I'm gonna look for Shakespeare's sonnets. 所以，我在这里下降，我扫描，扫描，扫描。我看到莎士比亚，我继续阅读，我正在寻找十四圈。 哦，我看到了十四行诗。我相信它，毫无疑问。
I think that's a pretty good place for it. Yeah, I found it. Took a little bit, but there's the answer. So which one is it? HM，需要一点时间。然后也许你甚至不确定，然后你回到通道和 then you realize maybe I should read on more, maybe they talk about sonnets again, and they do.
And then you maybe get the answer here cuz it says the matter has ceased to be a mystery to anyone, if it ever was a mystery, but you might also get the question wrong. The point is, you've taken a lot of time. And I'll go back really quickly. You've taken a lot of time here to try to get the answer to number 3 by going back 到这篇文章只是试图弄清楚第一名答案的地方。
Because mentions of the sonnets is kinda spread throughout that area, you might pick an answer choice that is incorrect. 天哪，这个测试很难。但是，不，实际上并不是那么困难。 Why? Well, there's something called evidence-based questions, 他们所做的是他们有一对问题。
They're always back to back. If number 3 is this question, evidence based reading. 第4号要告诉我们哪一行可能会被发现？所以我们一起配对，我们所做的是我们真的先做第4号。 Once we've read number 3 and we know what the question is asking for, you go through each of the line references.
Okay, well, this is the line beginning with I see ...out, replied, so, I go back to the passages, they give me the specific line. 而我在这里完成的是再现这些答案选择中的每一个。现在，当您实际访问并读取问题3时，它会更有意义。 What does the narrator initially think of alternative theories regarding possible dedicatees of Shakespeare sonnets?
A, I see there is some writing there, but I cannot make it out, I replied. Hm, that doesn't quite give us enough information, and of course you can always go back to the passage and read the context around there. You can look at B, I am sure of it. B is, people are the personages of the Sonnets; there is no doubt at all about it.
So you can see that he probably isn't necessarily open to alternative theories of Shakespeare's sonnets. 它指向A，他认为他们与已知事实更加符合吗？不，这可能是相反的。 But let's not just stop there because we found something we like. Let's keep on reading the other options.
再一次,其他选项下面。嗯,我阿格雷e with you, but I did not always think, oh, don't try to trick me SAT. We care about the narrator. Narrator think of the alternative theories, not Erskine. So we can get rid of C.
这是一个棘手的。D，这件事已停止对任何人来说是一个谜，如果它是一个谜。 But that's not even a mystery any more. And again, if you're unsure we can jump back here. And you have the lines. You know exactly where to look for this.
It say, I love theories about the Sonnets, I cried. But I don't think I am likely to be converted to any new idea. The matter has ceased to be a mystery to any one, if it ever was a mystery. So no new ideas are gonna convert him. 它甚至不是一个谜，答案很清楚。因此，我们知道，回到屏幕，B肯定是答案， he dismisses them as irrelevant since the existing theories are perfect, they're in no way lacking.
And we find that aha, D does the best job, A definitely not. B just shows that he's certain about this theory, but doesn't really talk to the part here that dismisses them the way that D does. Now, that was a really hard question. I don't even think evidence based reading questions are all that difficult as the one I just showed you here.
我使这个难以告诉你这个策略的重要性，它是多少节省时间，而且 how much it helps you avoid picking answer choice B which is a pretty good, it's not a terrible answer, but it's not the best answer. And D actually is that much better answer. Once you look at question 4 first, see that lines, what they're actually saying, and then answer question 3, it makes a very difficult question not so difficult.
Okay, speaking of pairs we're not done here just now. This was the first part. This will be our last question to the first part of this reading passage. But things do come in pairs. They use vocabulary context questions for almost every passage, not every one, but almost every passage.
You will always get two of these, and I like these ones, and you should like them too, because once you get good at them, 他们是节省时间的好方法，因为他们不需要很长时间才能做到。所以，如果你在最后一段或最后一段时间里没时间了 two you can do the vocab and context questions first. Make sure you at least get those.
So here we have it, another one. This one's maybe a little bit trickier. In manner and especially the rendering of the hands, the picture reminded one of various works of great artists. So the way that the artist painted, the manner, and especially the way he painted, the rendering, the way he painted the hands.
Notice I'm coming up with my own word or words to help me understand the context of the way he painted. 讨论不是一种绘制的方式。他没有消除可怜的手。 Reduction, the way he painted. Reduction.
Is he reducing the hands? Does this person have very small hands? 那似乎很奇怪。但是做某事的方式，治疗。 That makes sense, and therefore C is our answer. So what I'm gonna do in the next part is, 我要告诉你将在阅读理解部分上显示的其他问题类型，而不仅仅是小说段落。
What the new SAT is doing is they're making it very constant, the type of questions you'll see. You'll see the evidence-based reading questions. They always come in a little duo as we saw, and you will always see a pair of them meaning two plus two is four total questions. As I said, the vocab and context as we have here, you'll also get a couple of these.
So that's six questions right there. And once you get a sense of the other four questions, you'll be able to better navigate through the passage and find the questions that are easiest to answer for you.
