Understanding the Text
What the passage says and what it is about.
2 个单元
- Main Idea — The main idea answers 'so what?' for the whole passage — including its turn or qualification.
- Supporting Details — Locate, then match meaning — wrong choices borrow the passage's words in the wrong combination.
Interpreting the Text
Inference, vocabulary, craft, figurative language and argument.
5 个单元
- Inference & Prediction — Combine two clues. The best inference is the one the passage makes almost certain — not merely possible.
- Vocabulary in Context — Upper vocabulary items often test a familiar word in an unfamiliar sense; trust the sentence over the dictionary's first entry.
- Author's Purpose, Tone & Structure — Function questions: what does this sentence or paragraph DO in the argument or story?
- Poetry & Figurative Language — Identify the device, then the effect; for poems, track where the poem turns.
- Arguments & Evidence — Map claim → evidence → concession → conclusion; strengthen/weaken items target the link between evidence and claim.
这是本系列的最高级别。
