  3. 基本邏輯類用語

  stem from/since/ though/ just/ like/ equivalent/ however/ longevity(這里表示一個事物的延續時間，等同于continuity)/ fuel(生動的表現了因果關系) /but /more/ associate/ with/ outside/ as/ progressive/ in that /but /rather /less than /therefore /drew a parallel /determine /base on

  4. 復雜句型

  (1)Part of problem may well stem from the long-standing tendency of European or Euro-American thinkers to regard Native Americans as fundamentally and profoundly different, motivated more often by mysticism than by ambition, charged more by unfathomable visions than by intelligence or introspection.

  點評： A. stem from 表現的意思是由于，但是為啥這里要用stem這個單詞而不用result 或者come呢，原因我想應該和這篇文章作者的意圖是有直接關系的，文章中作者想去批判一個根深蒂固的偏見，所以提到這個偏見原因的時候用了stem(根)這個單詞的時候是非常合適和生動的。B. motivated 和charged 這兩個動詞在這句話中的作用是運用過去分詞修飾前面的Native Americans的觀點，所以這兩個單詞的意思應該一樣的，如果遇到詞匯題，那么同學們要學會通過這兩個平行動詞去確定意思。C. may 和regard…as…是觀點標志詞，注意may是一種假設不是事實就可以了

  (2)Native Americans, though obviously contemporary with their observers, were somehow regarded as ancient, examples of what Atone Age Europeans must have been like. 點評：A. 插入語要學會跳躍，把他放在文章的最后去讀這樣讀起來比較輕松，否則，你自己就是沒事找事了。B. Must have been like看似好像是一種假設語氣，但是這里加了must了語氣就很極端了，在我看來不夠客觀，存在潛在的批判點。

  (3)Western historians, cultural-bound by their own approach to knowledge, are apt to declaim that next to nothing, save the evidence of archaeology, can be known of early Native American life.

  點評：A.插入語故技重施B. Save的意思是通過這些證據，科學家可能知道早期NA的生活。

  B.bound & own 在這里的意思是限制的意思，一語道破了這些歷史學家的問題，那就是受到文化和自身學術研究方法的限制，換言之，這群人不愿意從別人的文化去思考問題或者做學問。同學們以后都是準備去美國名校讀書了，你想想這些名校會選擇被這寫偏見占據思維了的人嗎?顯然不會，所以通過SAT閱讀就能夠知道你的思維是不是一個思想保守，固守偏見的一個人了。
