SSAT阅读是SSAT考试的第三部分，在这一部分，学生需要在40分钟的时间来完成8篇阅读文章和40个问题。备考SSAT阅读部分，了解考试的题型非常重要，这样才能有针对性的练习。那么SSAT阅读题型有哪些呢？相信很多学生还不是很了解，下面留求艺留学就为大家详细的介绍一下。

SSAT阅读考试主要测试考生的阅读和理解能力，考生需要求阅读8篇250-350个单词的文章。然后会被问一系列关于每一篇文章的问题。段落的形式可以是叙述（特定的摘录）或者是提出某种观点的论点。

SSAT阅读文章类型包括：文学小说；人文学科（传记、艺术、诗歌）；科学（人类学、天文学、医学）；社会研究（历史、社会学、经济学）。

SSAT阅读题型都是选择题，每道选择题有5个答案选项，阅读问题往往分为四类：确定主要思想或作者的目的、找出支持主要观点的细节、根据单词在文章中的意思给它下定义、从文章中的观点进行推论。

下面为大家具体介绍一下SSAT阅读考试的四大题型：

1、主旨题

这种类型的问题提出了几个标题或短语，并要求考生选择一个最能表达文章主旨的。在主题句中经常可以找到主要思想。主题句通常出现在第一段，作为引言的一部分，或者出现在最后一段，作为总结。

题目示例：

The social standing of a wife in colonial days was determined by the standing of her husband as well as by her own ability and resourcefulness. She married not only a husband but also a career. Her position in the community was established in part by the quality of the bread she baked, by the food she preserved for the winter's use, by the whiteness of her washing on the line, by the way her children were clothed, and by her skill in nursing. Doctors were scarce. In case of the illness or death of a neighbor, a woman would put aside her own work to help, and she was honored for what she could do.

Which title best expresses the main idea of this selection?

(A) "Care of Children in Colonial Times"

(B) "Community Spirit"

(C) "Medical Care in Pre-Revolutionary Times"

(D) "The Colonial Housewife"

The correct answer is (D). This selection describes the various homemaking duties a colonial woman was expected to perform.

2、细节题

这种类型的问题提出了几个标题或短语，并要求考生选择一个支持主要观点的细节，细节是精选的事实和观点，解释和支持主要观点。

题目示例：

There are many signs by which people predict the weather. Some of these have a true basis, but many have not. There is, for example, no evidence that it is more likely to storm during one phase of the moon than during another. If it happens to rain on Easter, there is no reason to think that it will rain for the next seven Sundays. The groundhog may or may not see his shadow on Groundhog Day, but it probably won't affect the weather anyway.

Which of the following is NOT listed as a predictive weather phenomenon?

(A) Rain on Easter

(B) The phases of the moon

(C) Pain in a person's joints

(D) The groundhog's shadow

The correct answer is (C). The other choices were mentioned in the passage.

3、词汇题

这种类型的问题，有时被称为“上下文中的单词”，要求考生为文章中的一个单词选择同义词。

题目示例：

he maritime and fishing industries find perhaps 250 applications for rope and cordage. There are hundreds of different sizes, constructions, tensile strengths, and weights in rope and twine. Rope is sold by the pound but ordered by length and is measured by circumference rather than by diameter.

In this context, the word applications means

(A) uses.

(B) descriptions.

(C) sizes.

(D) types.

The correct answer is (A). Try it in the sentence in place of the word application: "Uses" makes sense in that context and keeps the meaning of the sentence intact.

4、推理题

推论是从阅读材料的细节中得出的结论。推理性问题的答案不会在文章中找到，因此是最难回答的理解性问题。为了从给出的信息中得出正确的结论，考生必须仔细阅读并进行逻辑思考。

题目示例：

The facts, as we see them, on drug use and the dangerous behaviors caused by drugs are that some people do get into trouble while using drugs, and some of those drug users are dangerous to others. Sometimes a drug is a necessary element in order for a person to commit a crime, although it may not be the cause of his or her criminality. On the other hand, the use of a drug sometimes seems to be the only convenient explanation by means of which the observer can account for the undesirable behavior.

The author apparently feels that

(A) the use of drugs always results in crime.

(B) drugs and crime are only sometimes related.

(C) the relationship of drug use to crime is purely coincidental.

(D) drugs are usually an element in accidents and suicides.

The correct answer is (B). The author states that drugs are sometimes a necessary element in a crime, but at other times is just an excuse for criminal behavior.
