本文为大家介绍的是pen在美国高考中的用法,大家可以参考一下,看看pen除了“钢笔”还有什么意思。
pen在美国高考的用法,pen的用法
pen这个词在大家脑海里的第一印象就是“笔”,除此之外很少有人知道它的其他意思。其实除了“笔”之外,SAT和ACT都特别喜欢考察pen的另一个意思,就是“围栏”,继而引申出动词的意思“关入栏中”。我们看看这个词在SAT和ACT考试的题目中是怎么玩大家的,也就是pen在美国高考中的用法。
ACT PG749页第9题
9. As it is used in line 30, the word fenced can reasonably be said tomean all of the following EXCEPT:
A. shut
B. penned
C. committed
D. held
原文:
I washed some cucumbers while I was waiting. They were bright-green and shiny in the water. I used to play they were alligators when I was a child.Then I fenced them in with my hand and poured of the water into thekettle on the stove.
解析:
这是道词汇题,我们通过阅读原文,得知作者在等候的时候洗了些黄瓜,并且儿时会把黄瓜当成鳄鱼玩耍。洗完黄瓜之后她会用手把黄瓜拦住(fence them in with my hand,然后将水倒入炉子上壶中。所以fence sth in的意思就是“把…用栅栏围起来”的意思,于是A/B/D这三个选项都有“关住、围住、握住”的意思,和fenced同义被排除,所以正选为C项。这道题中,如果不知道B项pen有“关入栏中”的意思,就有可能选错了。
SAT OC第三套有关“动物幸福感”的文章
15. Which situation most accurately illustrates the author’s definition ofa happy animal?
. (A) A bird finding its onelifetime mate
. (B) A dog herding sheep into a pen
. (C) A horse being carefullygroomed for a show
. (D) A monkey escaping from a cityzoo
. (E) A cat caring devotedly forher kittens
原文:
Not happy because leading lives of pleasure, but rather happy becauseleading lives in which the sensation of getting it right, the “click,” as ofthe pleasure that comes from solving a puzzle or surmounting something, is agoverning principle.
解析:
阅读原文可知,动物的幸福感并非因为过享乐的生活,而更多是因为过一种很带感的生活,那个“咔哒”的一瞬,这一瞬的快乐来自于解决一个难题或者超越一些事情,这才是王道。
由此可知,动物的幸福感其实来自于解决问题或者超越事情,其实也就是要有成就感,不能只为了口腹之欲,所以正选是B项:一只看管羊群入羊圈的狗。如果不知道pen的意思,有些同学会出现这样的神翻译:一只看管羊群进入钢笔的狗…
