SAT阅读填空题一共考19道题，分别以8道、5道、6道的题目数量放在三个部分的阅读中，也就是说，完成了填空还得做阅读，限时20分钟到25分钟不等。那么平均算下来，每道题一分钟不到的时间就得完成，超过了的话，就有可能影响后面题目的答题了。因此练习速度是SAT阅读填空题备考必须训练的一个部分。今天就为大家准备了5道填空练习题，后面附有详细的答案解析。SAT阅读填空题所占的分值比较大，需要大家在备考的时候提起重视，多加练习。

　　(C) details . . figurative

　　(D) heritages . . prophetic

　　(E) specimens . . graphic

　　Explanation

　　1.The correct answer is A

　　Choice (A) is correct. It is logical to connect the “decimation,” or harm done to, a park’s trees to the “prevalence,” or dominance, of a harmful species of termites.

　　2.The correct answer is A

　　The keys to this sentence are the word “Despite,” the words “human in scale,” and the words “not remote and larger than life.” The word filling the first blank has to be one that would relate closely to something that seems “larger than life.” The word filling the second blank has to fit with “human in scale.” If you focus on just one of the two blanks, you will be able to eliminate several choices before you even think about the other blank.

　　3.The correct answer is E

　　The information after the first comma actually explains the missing word. The fact that such a variety of products can be made from one plant indicates that the soybean is very “versatile”: it has many uses.

　　4.The correct answer is E

　　The sentence focuses on one aspect of the platforms—extreme heaviness. Therefore, “immense” makes a logically consistent sentence.

　　5.The correct answer is B

　　The terms in choice (B) logically complete the sentence’s comparison between ethnic and cultural “generalizations” and certain “representations of constellations.” “Stereotypes” are oversimplified generalizations that do not necessarily describe what a particular person is actually like—just as “pictorial,” or picture-based, representations of constellations cannot accurately describe a star’s “actual nature.”

以上就是SAT阅读填空练习题的全部内容，非常详细。大家在备考自己的SAT阅读填空题的时候，可以在备考知识点和词汇的基础上，用这些题目来检验备考的效果。
