从上面的罗列的阅读考试形式可以看出，每一个section 的第一部分都会先考察5-8个单词填空题， 难度也是由简单到困难逐渐递增的，之后是阅读理解题，阅读理解中的篇章也是由短篇到长篇过度的。下面是sat 阅读中题型的范例：

Sentence completion

单词填空题就是让考生从给出的A,B,C,D,E 五个选项中选出最能表达句子完整意思的单词。

Brown, this biography suggests, was an________ employer, giving generous bonuses one day,

ordering pay cuts the next.

(A) indifferent (B) objective (C) unpredictable

(D) ineffectual (E) unobtrusive

句子填空的题型有时候会出现两个空需要考生来选择正确答案，一定要确保两个单词都符合整个句子的意思，不能只看了第一个空的选项就忽视了第二个空的逻辑性。

Critical Reading

阅读理解中的问题可能会涉及到主旨题，细节题，作者的态度观点，写作技巧，作者的隐含意思，以及某个单词在文中的意思等。

Certain qualities common to the sonnet should be

noted. Its definite restrictions make it a challenge to

the artistry of the poet and call for all the technical

Line skill at the poet’s command. The more or less set

(5) rhyme patterns occurring regularly within the short

space of fourteen lines afford a pleasant effect on the

ear of the reader, and can create truly musical effects.

The rigidity of the form precludes too great economy

or too great prodigality of words. Emphasis is placed

on exactness and perfection of expression. The brev

ity of the form favors concentrated expression of ideas or

passion.

1.The author’s primary purpose is to

(A)contrast different types of sonnets

(B)criticize the limitations of the sonnet

(C)identify the characteristics of the sonnet

(D)explain why the sonnet has lost popularity as a literary form

(E)encourage readers to compose formal sonnets

这道题目考查的就是主旨题，考查学生能否针对这面文章理解作者要表达的中心思想。
