sat写作真题帮忙看看～

说实话。。。我看不懂你这个英文作文的题目。。。

但是，我好运的找到了一些这个题目的例文，帖上来给你参考一下。希望对你有帮助。
在SAT题目的主题中，有一类是专门考察个人和群体之间的对比关系，比如：是否大众的观点往往是错误的？个人要不要创新而不去遵循社会的主要潮流？为了整个集体的成功要不要牺牲个人的利益？。。。其实，对于这类题目，能够呈现观点的例子在历史中比比皆是：

①个人创新观点胜过社会主流观点

写出《物种起源》的Darwin；

反对《地心说》提出《日心说》的Nicolas Copernicus；

质疑Adam Smith的观点并创立《博弈论》从而获得1993年诺贝尔经济学奖的John Nash；

反对奴隶制，并通过《解放黑奴宣言》给予黑人自由和平等的Abraham Lincoln等等

②个人为了群体而放弃自己的利益

为了美国长远发展，忍辱负重签署《杰伊条约》的George Washington

创立护士学并恢复护士光荣指责的Nightingale

为南非争取和平和世界关注而献身的Nelson Mandela

等等

通过以上对例子的总结方法，我们面对SAT作文真题时，便可快速选出最适宜的立场并用例子给予支持。

以2005年3月考题为例：

Is the opinion of the majority-in government or in any other circumstances-a poor guide?

【大部分人的意见是不是一个不好的导向？】

该题目让考生对群体意见的优劣性给出看法，考生如果有自由的看法固然很好，但是在考场中有限的时间内给出精彩的自由回答是不容易的。假如这时候我们从以上的分类去看，必然能够得出群体意见不好的观点，再经过正反的延伸，就可把上题解读成"好的导向是个人的意见，而大众的观点往往具有误导性"。林肯时代，他所反对的是来自于奴隶主及大部分人白人的意见；约翰纳什反对整个经济学术界对于亚当斯密的信仰；达尔文反对生物学界对于生命起源的看法；哥白尼则挑战了罗马天主教会对于大众思想的控制。由此，我们通过定位题目的类型，将对于这道题目的回答和例子全部推理出来。这样就极大简化了后半部分的写作过程。由于篇幅有限，这里建议考生可使用此方法来分析解答其他类似题目

1.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.3)

We must seriously question the idea of majority rule. The majority grinned and jeered when Columbus said the world was round. The majority threw him into a dungeon for his discoveries. Where is the logic in the notion that the opinion held by a majority of people should have the power to influence our decisions?

Adapted from James A. Reed, “Majority Rule”

Assignment: Is the opinion of the majority—in government or in any other circumstances—a poor guide? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

2.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.3)

Given the importance of human creativity, one would think it should have a high priority among our concerns. But if we look at the reality, we see a different picture. Basic scientific research is minimized in favor of immediate practical applications. The arts are increasingly seen as dispensable luxuries. Yet as competition heats up around the globe, exactly the opposite strategy is needed.

Assignment: Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

3.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.3)

Even scientists know that absolute objectivity has yet to be attained. It's the same for absolute truth. But, as many news reporters have observed, the idea of objectivity as a guiding principle is too valuable to be abandoned. Without it, the pursuit of knowledge is hopelessly lost.

Adapted from “Focusing Our Values,” Nieman Reports

Assignment: Are people better at making observations, discoveries, and decisions if they remain neutral and impartial? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

4.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.3)

If you think that what you do is your own business, you are wrong. In this world your conduct affects not only you but the conduct of other people as well. If you behave in a way that is considered unacceptable and other people copy your behavior, you are responsible for the consequences.

Adapted from Margaret Banning, “Letter to Susan”

Assignment: Is a person responsible, through the example he or she sets, for the behavior of other people? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.
5.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.6)

Many persons believe that to move up the ladder of success and achievement, they must forget the past, repress it, and relinquish it. But others have just the opposite view. They see old memories as a chance to reckon with the past and integrate past and present.

Adapted from Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, I've Known Rivers: Lives of Loss and Liberation

Assignment: Do memories hinder or help people in their effort to learn from the past and succeed in the present? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue.

6.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.6)

I cannot comprehend those who emphasize or recognize only what is useful. I am concerned that learning for learning's sake is no longer considered desirable, that everything we do and think must be directed toward the solution of a practical problem. More and more we seem to try to teach how to make a good living and not how to live a good life.

Adapted from Philip D. Jordan, “The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge”

Assignment: Do people put too much emphasis on learning practical skills? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

7.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.10)

1.Success in life is largely a matter of luck. It has little correlation with merit. And in all fields of life there have always been people of great merit who did not succeed.

Karl Popper, Popper Selections

2.As Colin Powell said, “there are no secrets to success. Don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

Adapted from Barry Farber, “Selling Points”

Assignment: Is success in life earned or do people succeed because they are lucky? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

8.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2005.10)

1.Celebrities have the power to attract “communities” of like-minded followers; they provide an identity that people can connect to and call their own. Celebrities are trusted; they stand for certain ideas and values to which followers can express allegiance.

Adapted from William Greider, Who Will Tell the People?

我认为该题问的是大多数人的意见（政府中议会争论或其他情况）是否有指导意义。
－the opinion of the majority will interfere with your own
- majority does not mean the best (depends on the time, most people may be in favor of vehicles that consumes a lot of fuel when they travel a lot during weekends or vacations, when fuel prices are high, people opt for ones more fuel-efficient)
- if u want to give 3 examples, try think of one which involves the government or one from your reading.

当然不会了。因为题目就是让你讨论，那些权威的意见或看法是不太好的引导吗？ 这就是然你发表个人看法，你可以否定它，也可以认同它，这就是在挑战。
