SAT閱讀題對單詞的要求
閱讀題
閱讀題考查單詞在文章上下文中的最接近的含義，一起來看下面這個例子。
43 It is not also likely, then, that certain space relations, rhythms, and stresses have psy-
44 chological significance, that some of these patterns are universal and the key to emotional
45 response, that their deviations and modifications can be meaningful to artists in terms of their
46 own life experiences and that these overtones are grasped by spectators without conscious
47 analysis?......
Q1: As used in line 43, stresses most nearly means
emphases loads anxieties influences sounds
Q2: As used in line 46, grasped most nearly means
adhered to seized on controlled held understood
解析：
1、如果注意平時的積累，此題應屬信手拈來。在英語課上，對于一個發音的重讀不就是stress嗎?再考慮下stress在文章中出現的位置處于rhythms之后，必然就是emphases之意，不可能是引申意anxieties了。
2、Grasp本意為抓住，引申義為理解。在上下文中，grasp后有without conscious analysis，analysis一詞說明這里的grasp必然不是肢體語言，而是主觀上的理解。答案昭然若揭，選E。
通過以上兩題可見：閱讀文中的長難句可能在考場有限的時間里無法吃透，但詞匯含義題完全可以依據局部的精讀做出。這類題目要求考生不光知道該詞的本意和引申義，還要能具體問題具體分析。
