11月北美SAT考情回顾：新题来袭，阅读变难！

　　19年11月北美场SAT考试结束了，本次考试为全新试题，整体难度适中，和十月北美比，阅读难度加大，算正常范围。

　　接下来2019年还有12月的一场SAT考试，需要参加考试的同学们还要做好准备。考试的结束只是一个开始，尤其是对于明年申请的同学们来说，我们一定要离开考试之后做好考试总结，分析自己在考场上是否有失误，思考是否有可以改进的地方：错误能不能避免，考试心态是否可以调整？做题顺序、所带物品等是否存在问题？而对于题目和知识点本身，也要从考试中进行反思，看看哪里有所不足，才能更好的去提升。

　　好了，话不多说，一起来看下这次考试的各科简单回顾：

　　阅读

　　小说

　　本次考试的小说选自亚历山大·麦考尔·史密斯的《第一女子侦探所》系列中的一本。

　　亚历山大·麦考尔·史密斯是英国作家，爱丁堡大学医疗法专业荣誉退休教授，英国国家图书奖获得者。他1948年出生于布拉瓦约。早前曾在克里斯蒂恩兄弟大学就读，之后便去了爱丁堡大学，在那里修得法律博士学位。1988年他创作了《第一女子侦探所》系列的第一部，后来这一系列也广为流传。

　　本次小说故事性较强，难度一般。这个系列的小说很有意思，同学们可以尝试阅读。

　　历史双篇

　　是历史和政论合在一起考的双篇，内容不是对立方向。第一篇文章大概讲人们应该谨慎小心自己的投票权，应该根据政策本身来做决定。第二篇文章是黑人作者，提到人们应该选择对社会和国家和自己种族最有利益的党派。

　　文章在阅读理解方面还是有一定难度的。对于很多同学来讲，一涉及历史文章，就到自己的软肋弱项，看这个类型文章总是时间词汇都不够用。在备考的时候，一定要首先对美国历史常考考点的大体背景有所了解，然后针对性的进行题目练习和词汇背诵。同时在做题的时候，要把握好重点词汇和句式，因为归根结底，其实阅读考察的还是阅读的理解。

　　科学

　　一篇科学科普文章是探讨地球上早期有没有水，后来水是怎么来的，这篇文章对于大家来说较好理解，不难~

　　社会科学文章是社会心理学中的假象错觉文章，讲人们倾向认为没有表达意见的人是自己一方的，并做了相关实验。

　　最后一篇科学讲蛾子。研究翅膀颜色对蛾子recapture的影响。

　　语法

　　第一篇讲的是一个公园工作人员负责工作内容的文章，第二篇是一篇关于E-Waste回收的文章。第三篇是关于艺术的展览模式。第四篇是biological。整体考点不难，比较散碎。

　　数学

　　数学部分整体比较简单，难度主要在阅读题干方面。

　　写作

　　选自los AngelesTimes 2014年的一篇文章

　　Op-Ed:Facing an epidemic of mislabeled seafood

　　In 2004, a team of scientists in my research lab, then at the University of North Carolina, used DNA sequencing to show that at least 60% of fish sold as red snapper in markets across the U.S. were mislabeled and were other species. The seafood industry responded by saying seafood substitutions were “not common” and described our results as “overstated.”

　　Ten years later, it’s commonly accepted that seafood mislabeling is epidemic. Another DNA-based investigation, by ocean conservation organization Oceana, last year showed that one-third of more than 1,200 fish tested in the U.S. were not truthfully labeled according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines.

　　What about red snapper? A whopping 93% of fish labeled “red snapper” in the 2013 study were found to be species other than Lutjanus campechanus, the FDA’s legally designated common name for red snapper. Today, your “red snapper” could be one of at least 28 different species, including much less desirable fish such as tilapia and pollock.

　　Higher standards for seafood labeling are long overdue. It’s time for the U.S. to require that consumers be given proper and verifiable information about their seafood, including what species it is, where and how it was caught and whether it was raised on a farm or in the wild.

　　Help may finally be on the horizon. This month, the Presidential Task Force on Combating Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing and Seafood Fraud is expected to make recommendations about how seafood should be handled, marketed and labeled. The task force will also weigh in with recommendations for how to fight illegal fishing — a serious problem that threatens species, ecosystems and the livelihoods of people who harvest seafood according to laws and traditions that maintain sustainable fisheries.

　　Illegal fishing is a huge issue because the U.S. imports 90% of its seafood. According to a study in April in the journal Marine Policy, 20% to 32% of wild-caught seafood coming into the U.S. originates from illegal or unreported sources. Intentional mislabeling of seafood makes this illegal trade possible — and it’s a $23-billion global business.

　　Inaccurately labeled seafood is also a potential health issue. For example, in Hawaii there is a local specialty called poke (pronounced poh-kay) that is most often made from ahi, the Hawaiian name for two different species of tuna whose flesh is a distinct red color. The labels on ahi poke at many groceries usually say either “previously frozen, Philippines” or “fresh, locally caught.”

　　Because I know something about these fisheries, I think that the “ahi” from the Philippines is very likely yellowfin but the “locally caught” ahi might be bigeye. But I can’t be sure because once they are chopped up in soy sauce and sesame oil, I can’t tell the difference, and I do research in this field. How is anyone else supposed to figure it out?

　　Distinguishing yellowfin tuna from bigeye tuna is crucial because a 2010 study by researchers at the American Museum of Natural History in New York concluded that bigeye contains twice as much mercury as yellowfin. Mercury levels in many of the bigeye exceeded the maximum allowed by the FDA and both the bigeye and yellowfin had more mercury than the maximum daily consumption levels considered safe by the Environmental Protection Agency. Yet “tuna” is the only FDA-approved market name for all 14 species of tuna sold in the U.S.

　　Recent research has also shown that mercury levels can vary substantially within a single species, not just because of the size of the fish but also because of where the fish lived. Current country-of-origin labeling won’t necessarily help solve this potential problem because many fish are caught in one country and processed in another. Generally, only the country that processed the fish is the one reported at the time of import and sale.

　　Fraud, illegal fishing, food safety and unfair competition created by fraudulent marketing are all excellent reasons to end seafood mislabeling. But the rampant mislabeling of “red snapper” also says something about the broader impact of the practice: Mislabeling effectively conceals the reality of overfishing from consumers, distorting the true retail availability of species. It helps obscure depletion of fish stocks and the ensuing replacement of popular species with less-desirable ones.

　　The president’s task force can help bring honesty to the labeling process by developing requirements to ensure that seafood originates from a legal fishery, that it is tracked in the supply chain, and that consumers are provided with accurate and truthful information about their seafood.

　　As one of the world’s largest importers of seafood, the U.S. economy exerts an enormous amount of influence on worldwide patterns of fishing and trade. The task force should act now to push the global market to reduce fraud, improve food safety, protect consumers and empower them to make informed decisions about seafood. If this happens, expect to see far less “red snapper” on the menu.
