2016年11月的SAT考试已经尘埃落定了。这次考试亚太和北美两个考区都是关于环保话题的文章，亚太考区采用的是Godfrey Harris 和Daniel Stiles的The Wrong Way to Protect Elephants，北美考区选用的是John W. Fitzpatrick 和 George Fenwick的Bad for the birds, bad for all of us，下面小编就SAT写作评分标准与注意事项来讲一讲。

　　11月亚太写作考察了一篇环保题材的文章，选自Godfrey Harris 和Daniel Stiles的The Wrong Way to Protect Elephants。

　　节选：We also need more aggressive enforcement of anti-poaching efforts in Africa. And we should figure out a way to manage the trade in raw ivory to protect elephants. For instance, several years ago, ivory stockpiles owned by several African countries were sold in a series of United Nations-approved auctions in an effort to undercut illegal ivory trafficking. The proceeds went to elephant conservation efforts. This is a better approach than destroying these stockpiles, as the United States did last fall to six tons of ivory.

　　11月北美写作文章同样是环保话题，选自John W. Fitzpatrick 和 George Fenwick的Bad for the birds, bad for all of us.

　　节选：The farm bill is not only important in helping our nation’s farmers produce food; it is also the biggest source of conservation incentives for private landowners. In addition to encouraging more grasslands, the incentives include paying some landowners to grow crops or graze cattle in a more sustainable manner. And as is shown in the recently published report “The State of the Birds 2013,” which we and several others helped compile, these conservation incentives work.

　　虽说是双作者，但是本质上来说，对于写作影响并不大，只是同学们平时用的he/she变成了they。

　　11月亚太考试SAT作文的阅读部分讲了美国当下对于从非洲进口象牙制品的诸多限制，并且作者提出了较为可行的解决方案。文章开始以一个公司制造了象牙钢琴为一个独特的视角切入，并且相互呼应的阐述了限制和禁止进口以及从事象牙制品交易行为给消费者，国际交易的种种不便，更有甚者会直接危害到非洲的大象生命。相较于10月文章，这篇文章难度基本持平，但是写作手法上需要同学们深度挖掘。10月文章几个写作手法都很明显，因此比较容易写。这篇文章包括以下几个写作手法：轶事( anecdote), 事实证据 ( factual evidence), 让步 (counter-argument and refutation), 诉诸于情感 ( appeal to pathos), 用词 ( diction )以及 firm tone.

　　考生们需要注意sat写作评分标准中对于重要细节的引用，解读，并且深度思考这些写作手法中呈现的细节对读者造成了什么样的影响。很多写文章只停留在表面思考，需要结合上面几个注意事项深度思考。

希望以上内容对备考SAT的考生有帮助。
