刚刚考完SAT，我幸运地获得了2200分的高分。在欢欣鼓舞之余，我很愿意分享SAT考试的经历和我考试高分的经验。SAT(Scholastic Assessment Test)——学术能力评估考试，是由位于美国新泽西州普林斯顿市的美国考试服务中心（简称ETS）举办的。SAT成绩是全世界高中生申请进入美国名校学习和获得奖学金的主要参考。申请者除了要向学校表明该生英语水平的托福成绩之外，90%的美国大学要求参考考生的SAT成绩。可以说，想要申请排名前100的美国大学，申请者仅仅提供托福成绩是远远不够的。近年来，国内学子出国留学热方兴未艾，SAT也成为既GRE、托福和雅思考试之后兴起的国内几大留学考试之一。
SAT考试分为两部分:SATⅠ推理测验(Reasoning Test)和SATⅡ(Subject Tests)专项测验。SAT1主要测验考生的写作、阅读和数学能力；SAT2涉及数学、物理、化学及生物等科目。一般而言我们俗称的SAT就是SAT1. SAT1着重考察考生的阅读、写作和数学能力。自2005年SAT1改革之后，原先的语文部分变成了现在的批判性阅读，去掉了原先语文部分中令考生颇为头疼的类比题，句子选择填空的题目数变成了19道，而文章阅读的题目数也变成了48道。这样一来，它的考察对象不再是考生记忆生僻单词的能力，而是考生阅读理解能力，这也是美国各本科院校所注重的。
对于中国考生而言，批判性阅读部分的成绩是SAT获得高分的重中之重，而文章阅读又是批判性阅读部分中的重头戏。所以，文章阅读的重要性不言而喻。SAT的阅读文章篇幅不一，短则80至100字，长则800字或以上。而有限的考试时间又对考生的阅读速度提出很高要求。所以，在准备SAT考试时，我们必须学会“泛读”，即有选择的进行快速略读和跳读，并要提高阅读的敏感性，即大致预测作者的行文方式和判断其喜好态度。本文即从这两点出发，对如何进行有效的“泛读”和提高阅读敏感性提出一些帮助。
如何进行有效泛读
在我们高中的英语学习中，我们的同学还在学习基础的英语语法和单词，对于快速阅读方面的知识可谓是知之甚少。在阅读一篇文章时，我们广大同学倾向于“每词必较”，对每一句话都要进行精读，这样一来，阅读速度低下可想而知。殊不知，读懂文章并不等于要读懂每一句话，只要我们了解了文章的构架，快速阅读是可行的。
一般而言，一篇议论文（SAT阅读常见文章类型）的标准写法是作者提出主题句，申明整篇文章的观点，在接下来的篇幅中，作者将对此观点进行论证。在论证过程中，一般他将会摆出几个从逻辑上支持主题句的分论点，然后他会进一步阐述和论证各分论点。打一个形象的比方，一篇议论文的构架好似一颗大树，树干是主题句，树干上的分树枝是各分论点，而树枝上长出的小树枝又是各分论点的分论点，最后树枝上的叶子就是支持各分论点的实际例子。
所以，我们在阅读文章的时候，应注重对文章结构的把握，找出主题句和分论点，分清具体例子，这样我们就可以进行有选择的阅读，从而达到有效“泛读”，提高阅读速度。
总之，阅读是一项长期的训练，只有经过长期坚持不懈的艰苦努力之后，我们才能笑傲SAT的文章阅读。用一句英语谚语结束本文：When there is a will, there is a way.

In 2004 Christian Audigier, licensed the rights to produce the Ed Hardy clothing line, which is based on Hardy's imagery. Prior to the Ed Hardy clothing line, Audigier was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of legendary Kustom Kulture artist Von Dutch. Audigier has attempted to replicate the marketing techniques employed by Von Dutch Originals, by marketing directly to celebrity clients and by opening stores in high profile fashion districts.

Bump up then lurk
CHAPTER VIII
The friends were silent. Neither cared to begin talking. Pierre continually glanced at Prince Andrew; Prince Andrew rubbed his forehead with his small hand.
"Let us go and have supper," he said with a sigh, going to the door.
They entered the elegant, newly decorated, and luxurious dining room. Everything from the table napkins to the silver, china, and glass bore that imprint of newness found in the households of the newly married. Halfway through supper Prince Andrew leaned his elbows on the table and, with a look of nervous agitation such as Pierre had never before seen on his face, began to talk- as one who has long had something on his mind and suddenly determines to speak out.
"Never, never marry, my dear fellow! That's my advice: never marry till you can say to yourself that you have done all you are capable of, and until you have ceased to love the woman of your choice and have seen her plainly as she is, or else you will make a cruel and irrevocable mistake. Marry when you are old and good for nothing- or all that is good and noble in you will be lost. It will all be wasted on trifles. Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't look at me with such surprise. If you marry expecting anything from yourself in the future, you will feel at every step that for you all is ended, all is closed except the drawing room, where you will be ranged side by side with a court lackey and an idiot!... But what's the good?..." and he waved his arm.
Pierre took off his spectacles, which made his face seem different and the good-natured expression still more apparent, and gazed at his friend in amazement.
"My wife," continued Prince Andrew, "is an excellent woman, one of those rare women with whom a man's honor is safe; but, O God, what would I not give now to be unmarried! You are the first and only one to whom I mention this, because I like you."
As he said this Prince Andrew was less than ever like that Bolkonski who had lolled in Anna Pavlovna's easy chairs and with half-closed eyes had uttered French phrases between his teeth. Every muscle of his thin face was now quivering with nervous excitement; his eyes, in which the fire of life had seemed extinguished, now flashed with brilliant light. It was evident that the more lifeless he seemed at ordinary times, the more impassioned he became in these moments of almost morbid irritation.
"You don't understand why I say this," he continued, "but it is the whole story of life. You talk of Bonaparte and his career," said he (though Pierre had not mentioned Bonaparte), "but Bonaparte when he worked went step by step toward his goal. He was free, he had nothing but his aim to consider, and he reached it. But tie yourself up with a woman and, like a chained convict, you lose all freedom! And all you have of hope and strength merely weighs you down and torments you with regret. Drawing rooms, gossip, balls, vanity, and triviality- these are the enchanted circle I cannot escape from. I am now going to the war, the greatest war there ever was, and I know nothing and am fit for nothing. I am very amiable and have a caustic wit," continued Prince Andrew, "and at Anna Pavlovna's they listen to me. And that stupid set without whom my wife cannot exist, and those women... If you only knew what those society women are, and women in general! My father is right. Selfish, vain, stupid, trivial in everything- that's what women are when you see them in their true colors! When you meet them in society it seems as if there were something in them, but there's nothing, nothing, nothing! No, don't marry, my dear fellow; don't marry!" concluded Prince Andrew.
"It seems funny to me," said Pierre, "that you, you should consider yourself incapable and your life a spoiled life. You have everything before you, everything. And you..."
He did not finish his sentence, but his tone showed how highly he thought of his friend and how much he expected of him in the future.
"How can he talk like that?" thought Pierre. He considered his friend a model of perfection because Prince Andrew possessed in the highest degree just the very qualities Pierre lacked, and which might be best described as strength of will. Pierre was always astonished at Prince Andrew's calm manner of treating everybody, his extraordinary memory, his extensive reading (he had read everything, knew everything, and had an opinion about everything), but above all at his capacity for work and study. And if Pierre was often struck by Andrew's lack of capacity for philosophical meditation (to which he himself was particularly addicted), he regarded even this not as a defect but as a sign of strength.
Even in the best, most friendly and simplest relations of life, praise and commendation are essential, just as grease is necessary to wheels that they may run smoothly.
"My part is played out," said Prince Andrew. "What's the use of talking about me? Let us talk about you," he added after a silence, smiling at his reassuring thoughts.
That smile was immediately reflected on Pierre's face.
"But what is there to say about me?" said Pierre, his face relaxing into a careless, merry smile. "What am I? An illegitimate son!" He suddenly blushed crimson, and it was plain that he had made a great effort to say this. "Without a name and without means... And it really..." But he did not say what "it really" was. "For the present I am free and am all right. Only I haven't the least idea what I am to do; I wanted to consult you seriously."
Prince Andrew looked kindly at him, yet his glance- friendly and affectionate as it was- expressed a sense of his own superiority.
"I am fond of you, especially as you are the one live man among our whole set. Yes, you're all right! Choose what you will; it's all the same. You'll be all right anywhere. But look here: give up visiting those Kuragins and leading that sort of life. It suits you so badly- all this debauchery, dissipation, and the rest of it!"
"What would you have, my dear fellow?" answered Pierre, shrugging his shoulders. "Women, my dear fellow; women!"
"I don't understand it," replied Prince Andrew. "Women who are comme il faut, that's a different matter; but the Kuragins' set of women, 'women and wine' I don't understand!"
Pierre was staying at Prince Vasili Kuragin's and sharing the dissipated life of his son Anatole, the son whom they were planning to reform by marrying him to Prince Andrew's sister.
"Do you know?" said Pierre, as if suddenly struck by a happy thought, "seriously, I have long been thinking of it.... Leading such a life I can't decide or think properly about anything. One's head aches, and one spends all one's money. He asked me for tonight, but I won't go."
"You give me your word of honor not to go?"
"On my honor!"
