2026年3月SAT考情速览:真题直击 + 趋势解读

一、阅读部分

本次阅读整体难度中等偏上,M2模块新题大增,图表题被前置,逻辑题极其耗时。

1. 词汇题

词汇题1:眼球运动与反事实思维

The work of Tobias Gerstenberg et al. on tracking eye movements supports a theory that people engage in _____ thinking when making causal judgments: when subjects were asked to look at two colliding billiard balls and judge whether one caused or prevented the other's movement through a gate, their eyes looked at where the target ball would have gone if the ball that altered its path did not exist.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A) ambivalentB) retrospectiveC) counterfactualD) analogical

答案:C)counterfactual
解析:文中描述人们想象“如果某件事没有发生会怎样”,这正是反事实思维(counterfactual thinking)的定义。

词汇题2:阿波罗登月数据

The Apollo Moon landings (1969–1972) brought atmospheric sensors and soil sensors to the Moon and produced large amounts of data, much of which was stored on technologies that are now obsolete. A data‑transfer project is working to _____ these data so that the information is available to researcher Noah Petro, who is investigating the geology of the Moon.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A) salvage B) improve C) amend D) simplify

答案:A)salvage
解析:数据存储在已过时的技术上,因此需要“抢救”这些数据。

2. 逻辑题

逻辑题1:最后一公里送货

Last‑mile delivery refers to the final step in delivering packages to customers—and this final step can be very difficult. Delivery companies are contending with the increasing popularity of next‑day delivery and with the increasing volume of parcels, resulting in a growing bottleneck in the last‑mile stage. These companies have been experimenting with innovative solutions, including self‑service lockers. Unfortunately, many innovations create new obstacles and are not ready for full‑scale implementation. As a result, delivery companies will likely _____.

Which choice most logically completes the text?

A) encourage consumers to expect next‑day delivery only for widely available productsB) continue to struggle with last‑mile delivery operations until viable solutions become availableC) meet consumers' expectations in many areas but not in all regionsD) have little incentive to find a solution to last‑mile delivery challenges

答案:B)continue to struggle with last‑mile delivery operations until viable solutions become available
解析:前文指出创新方案尚未成熟,因此短期内公司仍将面临挑战。

逻辑题2:油炸食物脂肪含量

Biochemists studied mass and heat transfer when foods are fried in oil. During frying, water in the crust evaporates, leaving voids that oil can fill, increasing fat content. As the process continues, water from the center moves to the crust as long as the crust remains permeable. Therefore, the more moisture a food loses during frying, _____.

Which choice most logically completes the text?

A) the lower the temperature must beB) the softer the crust will beC) the higher the fat content will beD) the quicker the crust will lose permeability

答案:C)the higher the fat content will be
解析:水分流失越多,留下的空隙越多,油脂填充越多,脂肪含量越高。

3. 双篇题:CMN研究

Text 1In separate studies, Meng and colleagues and He and colleagues examined whether plants transfer nutrients via a common mycorrhizal network (CMN). Meng excluded all pathways other than the CMN by using barriers that kept root systems separate while allowing fungal strands through—a crucial step He's study did not take.

Text 2Meng took the necessary precaution of separating root systems. However, any barrier that allows fungal strands also allows liquids through. Thus, the design cannot ensure that any nutrient transfer is due to a CMN and not another pathway.

Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to Text 1's characterization of Meng's study?

A) It overstates the effectiveness of Meng's method.B) It overlooks studies contradicting Meng's results.C) It misrepresents what Meng aimed to achieve.D) It conflates Meng's method with He's method.

答案:A)It overstates the effectiveness of Meng's method
解析:Text 2指出Meng的实验设计仍有漏洞,因此认为Text 1夸大了其方法的有效性。

4. 推断题:Heege手稿

The 15th‑century English Heege Manuscript is unusual for its focus on fantasy tales. According to professor Wade, the three texts in its first booklet were likely copied by Richard Heege from a traveling minstrel's repertoire book. Evidence includes performative elements: the narrator addressing the audience, joking about peasants and royalty, and modifying jokes to refer to local towns.

Wade would most likely agree that the first booklet was

A) a copy Heege intended to give to a minstrel.B) based on stories about the area, with names later removed.C) copied from a text that originated from a minstrel working in that area.D) written down from memory based on a performance by a minstrel.

答案:C)copied from a text that originated from a minstrel working in that area
解析:Wade认为手稿抄自游吟诗人的 repertoire book(曲目本),而非凭记忆记录。

二、文法部分

本次文法考点稳定,但“组合拳”题增多,一道题同时考查多个语法点。

1. 所有格

...the similarity of the ______ experiences—the predicaments of both Catherine and Radcliffe's Emily St. Aubert result from men's greed—suggests that underlying the satire is a social critique.

A) novel's protagonists' B) novels' protagonists C) novels' protagonists' D) novel's protagonist's

答案:A)novel's protagonists'
解析:单部小说(novel's),两位主角(protagonists)的所有格,因此用 protagonists'。

2. 标点与逻辑关系

The relationship between genomes and epigenomes reveals how cells with identical DNA develop different _____ whereas the genome in each cell contains a complete DNA sequence, the epigenome consists of chemical compounds that determine which traits will be expressed.

A) functions: B) functions, C) functions and, D) functions

答案:A)functions:
解析:冒号后是对前文的解释说明。

3. 逻辑过渡

The moon Lysithea orbits Jupiter in the same direction as the planet rotates; its orbit is prograde. Mneme, another moon, orbits in the opposite direction, so its orbit is described with the opposite term: retrograde.

A) Likewise, B) Next, C) Thus, D) However,

答案:D)However,
解析:前后形成对比关系,Lysithea是顺行,Mneme是逆行。

4. 动词形式

Though Ruiz Robles's prototype had limited functionality, interactive features described in her 1949 patent—such as a button that would illuminate relevant text—_____ an impressive early vision of hypertext.

A) revealing B) reveal C) reveals D) has revealed

答案:B)reveal
解析:主语features为复数,一般现在时。

三、数学部分

数学整体难度平稳,但应用题信息量增大,需多步推理。

Module 1

  1. Solve for xx: 4(3x−7)−6=5x−2(x+9).
  2. What is the xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)=−3x2+12x−5?
  3. For the system 5x−2y=11, 3x+4y=15, find y.
  4. A sequence: 7, 4, 1, -2,... Find the 15th term.

Module 2

  1. A data set has mean 32, median 29, SD 5. Each value is tripled then minus 4. New mean = ?
  2. Circle: x^2+y^2−8x+6y−11=0. Find its radius.
  3. Solve x−4x+2≥0.
  4. Right triangle legs 9 and 12. Hypotenuse = ?

四、趋势总结与备考建议

1. 阅读:图表题“逆袭”,逻辑题“杀时间”

图表题被前置且信息密度大增,不再是简单的找规律,而是要求深度解读数据。
逻辑题虽难度适中,但题干长、选项干扰强,极其耗时。
词汇题更依赖语境,核心词如 counterfactual、perfunctory 重现,但需结合上下文判断。

2. 文法:考点稳定,组合拳频出

一道题同时考查多个语法点(如标点+逻辑+主谓一致)。
逻辑连接题比例上升,需精准理解句间关系,而非只记连接词。

3. 数学:稳中求进,陷阱增多

应用题和图表题信息量增大,需要多步推理。
统计(margin of error)、指数函数、二次函数仍是重点。

4. 备考锦囊

调整节奏:阅读前10题和语法题快速拿下,为后段逻辑/图表题留足时间。
深挖逻辑内核:变体题增多,必须理解文本底层逻辑,不能只记答案。
强化图表解读:训练快速提取数据并推理的能力。
回归文本理解:词汇题依赖语境,单纯背词义已不够。
