Passage 1 小说类
选自 Rohinton Mistry “A fine balance”
小说背景是一个叫m住寄宿学校的人，家附近修了条路通向他家开的商店。
文章内容：
自从m家附近修了路，经济得到了发展，每天都在变化。这使得他的爸爸一时接受不了这一变化。爸爸的脾气变的古怪，父子两个没有一天是不吵架的。而奇怪的是每次父亲写的信都充满了爱意与思念，一碰面却吵架。妈妈的说法是要理解爸爸对这种变化的不适应。
经济得到了发展，环境却不断恶化，比如泥石流，植被减少等问题。平时爸爸喜欢独自散步，在原始的生态环境里感受自然。他会抚摸枝干，坐在石头上看日落等。于是邻居便传言M的爸爸怪怪的：跟树木和石头说话。
M知道后即为父亲的行为感到羞愧，又为邻居的gossip感到愤怒。
点评：文章很好理解，题目难度适中。
原文：
Then the promised rewards began rolling up the road into the mountains. Lorries big as houses transported goods from the cities and fouled the air with their exhaust. Service stations and eating places sprouted along the routes to provide for the machines and their men. And developers began to build luxury hotels.
That year, when Maneck came home for the holidays, he was puzzled (and later alarmed) to discover his father perpetually irritable. They found it impossible to get through the day without Fine Balance 249 quarrelling, breaking into argument even in the presence of customers.
“What’s the matter with him?” Maneck asked his mother. “When I’m here, he ignores me or fights with me. When I’m at school, he writes letters saying how much he misses me.”
“You have to understand,” said Mrs. Kohlah, “people change when times change. It does not mean he doesn’t love you.”
For Mrs. Kohlah, this unhappy vacation would also be remembered as the one during which Maneck abandoned his habit of hugging his parents and whispering good morning. The first time that he came down and took his place silently, his mother waited with her back to the table till the pang of rejection had passed, before she would trust her hands with the hot frying pan. His father noticed nothing.
Stomach churning, Mr. Kohlah was absorbed in watching the growth of development in the hills. His friends and he agreed it was a malevolent growth. The possibility of increased business at the General Store was no consolation. All his senses were being assaulted by the invasion. The noxious exhaust from lorries was searing his nostrils, he told Mrs. Kohlah, and the ugly throbbing of their engines was ripping his eardrums to shreds.
Wherever he turned, he began to see the spread of shacks and shanties. It reminded him of the rapidity with which the mange had overtaken his favourite dog. The destitute encampments scratched away at the hillsides, the people drawn from every direction by stories of construction and wealth and employment. But the ranks of the jobless always exponentially outnumbered the jobs, and a hungry army sheltered permanently on the slopes. The forests were being devoured for firewood; bald patches materialized upon the body of the hills.
Then the seasons revolted. The rain, which used to make things grow and ripen, descended torrentially on the denuded hills, causing mudslides and avalanches. Snow, which had provided an ample blanket for the hills, turned skimpy. Even at the height of winter the cover was ragged and patchy.
Mr. Kohlah felt a perverse satisfaction at nature’s rebellion. It was a vindication of sorts: he was not alone in being appalled by Fine Balance 250 the hideous rape. But when the seasonal disorder continued year after year, he could take no comfort in it. The lighter the snow cover, the heavier was his heart.
Maneck said nothing, though he thought his father was being overly dramatic when he declared, “Taking a walk is like going into a war zone.”
Mrs. Kohlah had never been one for walking. “I prefer to enjoy the view from my kitchen,” she said whenever her husband invited her. “It’s less tiring.”
But for Mr. Kohlah, long, solitary rambles were the great pleasure of his life, especially after winter, when every outing was graced by delicious uncertainty—what lay round the next bend? A newborn rivulet, perhaps? Wildflowers he had not noticed yesterday? Among his more awesome memories was a mighty boulder riven by a shrub growing out of it. Sometimes he was the victim of a sweet ambush: a prospect of the valley from a hitherto unseen angle.
Nowadays, every stroll was like a deathwatch, to see what was still standing and what had been felled. Coming upon a favourite tree, he would stop under its branches a while before moving on. He would run his hand along the gnarled trunk, happy that an old friend had survived another day. Many of the rocky ledges that he used to sit on to watch the sunset had been removed by dynamite. When he did find one, he rested for a few minutes and wondered if it would be here for him the next time. Before long they began talking in town about him. “Mr. Kohlah’s screw is getting a little loose,” they said. “He speaks to trees and rocks, and pats them like they were his dogs.” When Maneck heard the gossip, he burned with shame, wishing his father would stop this embarrassing behaviour. He also boiled with anger, wishing to slap some sense into the ignorant, insensitive people.
Passage 2 历史类
选自美国黑人作曲家和诗人Edward Henry “duke” Ellington 给洛杉矶的churchgoers的演讲。
文章内容：
关于黑人奴隶在美国社会中的角色。
开始作者从黑人的话语权引入，通过Hughs的一首诗“WE, TOO, SING AMERICA”来展开黑人对美国社会的各种贡献，包括文化，艺术，社会建设。从黑人参加的战争到被以奴隶贩卖到美洲大陆的那一刻，一直为美国社会做着贡献。他们绝不是起着轻微的作用。最后，黑人还是美国社会的injection，是他们不断激励督促的美国的well-being.
点评：前半段的题目稍有难度，后面好理解，难度适中。
原文：
"We, Too, Sing 'America'"
by Duke Ellington
First of all, I should like to extend my sincere appreciation to the Rev. Karl Downs for theopportunity to appear on this very fine program and express myself in a mannernot often at my disposal. Music is my business, my profession and my life …but, even though it means so much to me, I often feel that I’d like to have mysay, on some of the burning issues confronting us, in another language … inwords of mouth.
There is a good deal of talk in the world today. Some view that as a bad sign. One of the Persianpoets, lamenting the great activity of men’s tongues, cautioned them to besilent with the reminder that, “In much of your talking, thinking is halfmurdered.” This is true no doubt. Yet in the day when men are silent becausethey are afraid to speak, indeed, have been forbidden to speak, I view thevolubility of unrestricted with great satisfaction. Here in America, thesilence of Europe, silent that is except for the harsh echoes of the dictators’voices, has made us conscious of our privileges of free speech, and like thedumb suddenly given tongue, or the tongue-tied eased of restraint, we babbleand bay to beat the band. Singly, as individuals, we don’t say much ofconsequence perhaps, but put together, heard in chorus, the blustering half-truths,the lame and halting logic, the painfully sincere convictions of Joe and Mary Doaks … compose a powerfulsymphony, which like the small boy’s brave whistle in the dark, serves noticeon the hobgoblins that we are not asleep, not prey to unchallenged attack. And,so it is, with the idea in mind of adding my bit to the meaningful chorus, thatI address you briefly this evening.
I have been asked totake as the subject of my remarks the title of a very significant poem, “We,Too, Sing America,” written by the distinguished poet and author, LangstonHughes.
In the poem, Mr.Hughes argues the case for democratic recognition of the Negro on the basis ofthe Negro’s contribution to America, a contribution of labor, valor, andculture. One hears that argument repeated frequently in the Race press, fromthe pulpit and rostrum. America is reminded of the feats of Crispus Attucks,Peter Salem, Black armies in the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War,the Spanish-American War, the World War. Further, forgetful America is remindedthat we sing without false notes, as borne out by the fact that there are norecords of Black traitors in the archives of American history. This is all welland good, but I believe it to be only half the story.
We play more than aminority role, in singing “America.” Although numerically but ten percent ofthe mammoth chorus that today, with an eye overseas, sings “America” withfervor and thanksgiving, I say our ten percent is the very heart of the chorus:the sopranos, so to speak, carrying the melody, the rhythm section of the band,the violins, pointing the way.
I contend that the Negro is the creative voice of America, is creative America, and it was a happyday in America when the first unhappy slave was landed on its shores. There, inour tortured induction into this “land of liberty,” we built its most gracefulcivilization. Its wealth, its flowering fields and handsome homes; its prettytraditions; its guarded leisure and its music, were all our creations. Westirred in our shackles and our unrest awakened Justice in the hearts of acourageous few, and we recreated in America the desire for true democracy,freedom for all, the brotherhood of man, principles on which the country hadbeen founded. We were freed and as before, we fought America’s wars, providedher labor, gave her music, kept alive her flickering conscience, prodded her ontoward the yet unachieved goal, democracy — until we became more than a part ofAmerica! We — this kicking, yelling, touchy, sensitive, scrupulously demandingminority — are the personification of the ideal begun by the Pilgrims almost350 years ago. It is our voice that sang “America” when America grew too lazy,satisfied and confident to sing … before the dark threats and fire-lined cloudsof destruction frightened it into a thin, panicky quaver.
We are more than a fewisolated instances of courage, valor, achievement. We’re the injection, theshot in the arm that has kept America and its forgotten principles alive in thefat and corrupt years intervening between our divine conception and our neartragic present.
Passage 3 社科类
选自Cullbum Robert等人的“The Effects of Marine Reserves in Adjecent Fisheries”
文章内容：
Marine Reserves越来越受到人们的关注，它不仅保护和促进finshing management，而且也丰富species diversity，在菲律宾的许多实例中也证实了上述观点。加勒比海的SMMA拥有35%carol reef fish grounds，提高了fish populations。许多人开始认为拥有Marine Reserves比那些没有拥有者更富足，包括年轻人也对此持积极的态度。
Passage 4 社科类
选自Joseph Stromberg的“The Book’s Vocabulary is Different if it was Written during Hard Economic Times”
文章内容：
如果未来考古学家无法从20世纪的文学中追溯人类文明，那么或许他们能从经济的顶峰和萧条时期获取惊奇的发现。英国的一个专栏中描述了literary misery index和economic misery index之间的关系，并通过图表形式进行了展现。美国和英国的情况截然相反。
在美国，文学与经济意见的关系紧密，1940年代是美国文学的萧条时期，紧跟30年代的经济大萧条之后。造成这十年之后的主要原因有两个：第一，写作需要大量的时间，大萧条时期无法出版；第二，小说由作者创造，而作者的儿时记忆与成年后的思想并不完全相符。
相比英国，文学与经济之间的联系并不是那么的明显，因为英国的作家在创作时时根据其周诶的环境来进行选词。
正如Bently所言：“Global rconomics is part of shared emotional experiences in the 20th century.”
Passage 5 科学类
科学双篇
第一篇 选自Publo G“ flora CO2 emission may indicate food abundance to nectar- feeding moth ”
第二篇 选自 Elia Ben Ari的演讲 “better communication through chemistry”
文章内容：
第一篇：
飞蛾有LPO关于CO2感受器，但是飞蛾如何利用它我们还不清楚。因此需要探究。
下面一项研究是关于C类飞蛾的。这类飞蛾雌雄的LPO大小是不一样的。磁性的更发达一些，因此科学家推测，雌性探测CO2水平高的植物说明植物新陈代谢高，更有活力，因此会在此产卵。
M类的飞蛾雌雄的LPO没有什么区别但进食的成年蛾子会更发达一些。因此科学家推断它们会寻找高CO2是为了更好的觅食，找nectar。
第二篇：
是以第一篇的研究继续研究。除了上篇的研究结果，还有飞蛾作为传粉者与花之间的interaction。
有一类D的花，会散发味道和高CO2在开花的时候。科学家发现M类的飞蛾会通过高浓度CO2来找到花。后续的研究发现M类的飞蛾不是知通过二氧化碳来寻找花还需要气味。但雌性缺看似随机。
后发现是因为雌性会将卵产在树叶上，所以雌性靠二氧化碳不仅用于觅食也用于产卵。
点评：实验过程清晰，两篇顺承的关系。题目多两篇文章中的共性问题，要仔细，难度不大。
文法部分考情分析
第一篇：Untouched Music
在许多的影片中，人们喜欢用theremin来呈现novelty，wonder or strange voice。Theremin的创造者Leo Theremin起初创造它的目的并不是为了将它运用到电影中或是营造unease voice，而是为了取代传统的小提琴。
Hinchcock将Theremin的声音引入到了他的一部恐怖片之中，他认为“Theremin can cause anxious felt by the main characters”，这部影片受到了一致的好评，并凭此影片赢得了荣誉。除了电影行业，越来越多的电视节目和游戏中也引入了Theremin。尽管它是20实际20年代的产物，在现代的艺术中仍然备受各行各业的艺术家们青睐。
第二篇：Pluto’s Demotion
人们渐渐开始通过现代发现来改变对planetary system的态度。IAU不再将冥王星视为planet，他们认为古希腊时期对冥王星的定义缺乏科学依据。直到2006年前，定义planet的问题仍未得到更好地解决。
2006年，IAU开展了为期两周的大会，明确了太阳系天体的分类标准，并将冥王星归为矮行星一类，惨遭降级。他们开始将planet定义为“ a celestial body that orbits the Sun”。虽然许多人不能接受冥王星降级这一事实，但埃克斯表示，对于行星的研究和讨论，将来还会继续，但这一定义的产生是天文学研究的里程碑。
第三篇：Volunteering is all one day’s work
非盈利慈善机构往往会面临缺少专业知识，管理运行不善的问题。而skill-based volunteering（sbv）能解决这一问题。
sbv可以帮助慈善机构运营网站，宣传标语等问题，他们是来自各个职业领域的人员，作家，编辑，经理等。其中举例一家慈善机构得到sbv帮助的过程，获得好评。
除此之外，许多公司也乐忠于将员工送去sbv锻炼专业技能，其中提到了世界五百强企业对此的调查。90%的人都表示赞同这一做法，10%中立，没有人表示反对。（两个表格）
除了这些好处，也会面临sbv匹配不上慈善机构需求的问题，通过网站可以解决。
点评：词汇，标点，合并句子，分词，句间逻辑等，但没有删增句子题目。
第四篇：Eleanor Roosevelt’s challenge
联合国要求出一份universial 的人权宣言，组织了委员会，主持工作由Eleanor Roosevelt来做。这对她来说是极大的挑战。
工作进行中她发现各方的代表意见非常不同意。欧洲西方觉得个人的利益大于一切，而共产方面觉得集体利益最重要。
为了开展工作，她要求增加subcommittee，尽可能多的听到来自不同国家的声音；还要求不要用太法律的术语，要用普通大众都能明白的话语。
最终人权宣言的完成，使得她成为了在人权方面奠基石一样的人物。
点评：同样题目比较全面，缺少删增剪句子题。
数学部分考情分析
Section 3
无计算器的数学部分较为简单。
涉及到的知识点：
1、 一元一次函数的求解以及实际问题中的运用。
例如题目中：2/7h - 2/7 = 11/14 ，求h 的值？
2、幂函数的化简问题。
3、根据函数的x截点反推函数图像和表达式。
例如题目中：b(x)=(x^2-1)(x+1)的函数图像是什么？
已知一多项式 y=x^3+ax^2+bx+c的x截点是-4、-5和-7，求a 的取值。
4、多项式的化简问题。
5、数形结合的问题。
例如题目中已知在圆上的一个点的坐标（-1/4，y），圆心坐标（0，0），以及半径radius为1，求y的值？
6、二元一次函数中求截距（x-intercept）的问题。
例如题目中：4x+2y=12 ，题目中询问“what is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept of the graph？此时当y=0 时，求出x的取值即可。
7、三角函数在实际问题中的运用。
8、相似三角形定理：对应三个角相等，对应边长比相等。
Section 4
可用计算器的部分难度不高，但题干长度略长，但没有难以理解的题干。但需要仔细读题。
重点关注：
1、在散点图中，散点代表实际值，最适线代表预测值的问题（the line of best fit)。
2、概率在实际问题中的运用。
3、中位数（median），范围（range）、标准差（standard deviation）margin of error （误差范围）在实际问题中的运用。
4、带平方的二元一次方程和二元一次方程组快速求解的问题。
写作部分考情分析
文章题目节选自2015年时代周刊关于女孩教育的一篇文章，原文如下：
All Girls Deserve Education Beyond Primary
ByMALALA YOUSAFZAIMarch 9, 2015
IDEAS:Malala Yousafzai is an education activist from Pakistan.
1、Who inspires you? Over the past year I’ve been honored to travel and meet some exceptional girls. These young women won’t let anything stand in the way of their education. They inspire me.
2、Amina is one such girl. I met Amina last summer when I traveled to Nigeria. Her home in northern Nigeria is a place where education is under attack by Boko Haram. Despite the always present threat of violence and the fact that girls hardly ever attend secondary school, Amina persisted — she stood up for her right to an education. I know firsthand that the act of simply showing up at school is dangerous. It takes courage.
3、But for Amina, showing up was just the start. She excelled, and after graduation she received a scholarship from the Centre for Girls’ Education and serves as a mentor to other girls. I was so inspired that the Malala Fund now supports the Centre.
4、Meeting Amina and girls like her in refugee camps in Jordan, together with my own experience in Pakistan, has all taught me an important lesson: While basic education begins to unlock potential, it is secondary education that provides the wings that allow girls to fly. Secondary education helps turn a brave, bright girl like Amina into a confident and strong leader who can change her community and country.
5、Every girl should count. Yet in most countries, including Pakistan, these girls aren’t even counted: the number of students in secondary school is not measured and recorded. The latest figures from UNESCO show that tens of millions of girls are still being left behind — but that is only the beginning of the story.
6、For many of my sisters, a full course of education is a distant dream. Leaders have one standard for their own children but another standard for their citizens. As parents, they would never be happy with only a basic five or six years of school for their children. Twelve years of school should be every young person’s right. It is time for change.
Aiming high on the poverty goals
7、When I was only 3 years old, world leaders agreed to a historic 15-year plan to tackle poverty — the Millennium Development Goals. The MDGs have had a positive impact on many issues including education. However, leaders thought a basic education was enough. They were bound by prejudice and a failure of imagination and leadership.
8、This year, governments have a chance to set the record straight. They are going to decide on a new set of antipoverty goals: the Sustainable Development Goals. This is our chance to make things right. But we must aim high and be ambitious.
9、Governments are now considering expanding the global education goals beyond primary school. This is very good news. But this will only happen if we make girls’ education one of their top priorities.
10、It is possible. Rich nations and many poor countries have managed to provide tuition-free secondary school. This is why we are calling on world leaders to do what is right as they decide on the next set of education goals. Now, there is talk of raising the goal to only nine years of schooling instead of establishing 12 years of free education for all children. This is wrong.
11、How can world leaders tell the world’s children that they can only hope for nine years of education, while their own children can expect at least 12 years of education in the best schools? The standards they set for their own children should be the same for their citizens and the rest of the world’s youth.
12、When world leaders meet this September at the U.N. in New York City, they must promise that by 2030, all children will be able to participate in at least 12 years of quality education for free. We need to lift up the girls who are missing out the most.
13、We know that investments in education pay off. Who knows how much brilliance the world was deprived of by millions of girls missing out on secondary education. Perhaps there was a transformative leader in that generation, an inspiring writer, a scientist who might solve the world’s most pressing problems. When I think of the unrealized potential, my sorrow knows no bounds.
14、“My joy knows no bounds.” That was Amina’s response to the news that I, along with another education advocate, Kailash Satyarthi, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace last year. I took Amina and four other girls who inspire me to Oslo to accept that prize. Those are girls who, despite all the obstacles, show up. We are desperate to learn and to lead. All we need is leaders with courage and bold vision to match. All we need is for them to show up too.
15、Some may think Amina and I are just naive teenagers. But we know firsthand the power of a secondary education, and we won’t be deterred. When we imagine the power of all our sisters standing together on the shoulders of a quality education — our joy knows no bounds.
Malala Yousafzai is a student, co-founder of the Malala Fund and Nobel Peace Prize laureate 2014

P11：修辞问题：质问权贵阶级处理事务的两面性，揭露权贵阶级做法的荒诞和自私
首先通过对比，展示权贵阶级在教育问题上的愚民手段，让读者感受到这样的教育资源的配置是非常不合理的，然后在11段又通过反问，将这种质问直接推向读者，更大程度的揭露了教育不公的本质，进而调动起读者的情感，从而更好的让读者加入到改变现状的队伍中来
●对Pathos的呼吁
P6：是时候改变了
P8：这是我们把事情做对的机会......雄心勃勃
P14：号召全体姐妹团结起来，为教育公正做努力
通过这样的话语，让读者不仅仅意识到教育不公的普遍性和严重性，也同时让读者意识到我们不可以坐以待毙，接受不公，我们应该团结起来，为世界变得更好，付诸于自己的行动。
好了，以上就是今天的亚太考题回顾，整体来说难度不大，并且采用全新试题，相对公平，可以让很多没有参加8月北美考试的同学内心稍微平衡一下了，祝大家都能获得理想的目标分数。
不过，水涨船高，如果大家都容易获得一个不错的SAT分数的话，那么申请美国大学就会更拼硬实力了，除了GPA外，学生的背景、文书将是取胜的关键了。此外，合理的匹配自己的目标学校也很重要，如何确定选校清单也是一个非常有技术含量的操作，希望留学生们少走弯路，取得自己理想的成绩。
