下面为大家爱整理的是一个SAT阅读材料的清单,其中包括了了一些非常著名的世界名著,也包括了一些比较常见的科普类书籍,都是大家可能在阅读考试中遇到的文章类型。大家在备考的时候详细的参考一下吧。
书籍列表
All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes (by Maya Angelou)
Black Boy (by Richard T. Wright)
Brothers and Keepers (by John Edgar Wideman)
Lucy(by Jamaica Kincaid) 这本书光重名的就至少有三本,我初中时候读的就是夏洛蒂-勃朗特的Lucy,书的内容真未见得比《简爱》高明多少,但是名气大……所以买的时候一定注意啊!
Notes of a Native Son (by James Baldwin)
On Gold Mountain (by Lisa See) 我真心觉得这本书原版和中文版都差不多,西方人笔下的中文意象你要是读英语的行文方式,那就是——坑爹。
Silent Spring (by Rachel Carson) 环保类的书,自己瞧着办吧,我翻得比较快,读的不太仔细
The Crown of Columbus (by Louise Erdrich, Michael Dorris)
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (by Mark Bittner)
Possession (by A.S.Byatt) 我看得有点费劲的一本书,语言有点晦涩,建议看原版,思路还正常点
Poirot Investigates, Murder in the Mews, The Labours of Hercules, The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, Poirot's Early Stories, Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks (by Agatha Christie) 阿加莎的小说,我很惭愧滴说,木有一本看完的,为啥呢?看了开头就猜到结尾了有木有啊,和柯南的短篇情节有隐约重合啊有木有啊?细节描写太多了有木有啊……
The Color Purple (by Alice Walker) 自从高中的时候被卢梭的《新爱罗伊斯》(那时候好像叫《爱罗伊斯》……囧,难道是我记错了??)折腾过一次后,对整个书信式小说的感觉那叫一个崩溃啊……这本书的内容有点像《嘉莉妹妹》和《苔丝》的结合体,说不上哪里特别抓人,但是算是那个时代的代表,值得看一看
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, The Maytrees (by Annie Dillard) 这本书真心必读,这个的中文译名叫做《溪畔天问》正在看的,第一次看还以为是《天路历程》那种朝圣范儿的,翻开才知道不是……这本书真心建议看原版,中文版有些地方丢得比较严重
The Last of the Menu Girls (by Denise Chavez)
Don Quixote (by Miguel de Cervantes)
The Living Is Easy (by Dorothy West)
Politian, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, The Balloon-Hoax, The Philosophy of Composition, Eureka: A Prose Poem, The Poetic Principle, The Light-House (by Edgar Allan Poe) 爱伦坡的书,必看无疑,看小说你慢慢就觉得,哎是不是那些身世坎坷精神状态异于常人的家伙们才比较可能写出精彩的篇章呢~~???
The Joy of Gay Sex, A Boy's Own Story, The Beautiful Room Is Empty, The Farewell Symphony (by Edmund White) 主题和我前段时间看的什么“一个人的巴黎”(老了,记不住了T_T)是一个路子的,西方人的亚文化文学感觉更真实更坦率,喜欢亚文化内容的孩纸们可以看看,你要还不知道什么是“亚文化”,算了别看了……建议你先去看咱们老祖宗的《世说新语》《聊斋志异》,或者就去看看魏晋南北朝的一些稗官野史,科普完再比较~~哈哈,你懂得!
This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (by Gloria E. Anzaldúa)
Go Tell It on the Mountain, Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone, If Beale Street Could Talk, Native Sons (by James Baldwin)
Cane (by Jean Toomer) 他的书必须读,哈雷姆文艺复兴的开创者啊~~
The Nurture Assumption (by Judith Rich Harris)
The Inheritance of Loss (by Kiran Desai)
Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions (by Kurt Vonnegut)
Monkey Bridge (by Lan Cao) 这个书目前我是真没见到,哪位在美国瞅见原版了喊我一声
Not Without Laughter (by Langston Hughes) 这个也是必读的,学过美国历史的你懂得
All the Wrong Questions (by Lemony Snicket)
The Book of Margery Kempe (by Margery Kempe)
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (by Maya Angelou)
History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution (by Mercy Otis Warren) 这个书也比较够呛……年头早了一点,我也在找~~
Donatella (by Marie-Noëlle Drouet)
Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr. Ripley (by Patricia Highsmith)
Invisible Man (by Ralph Waldo Ellison)
The Madwoman in the Attic (by Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar)
Gorilla, My Love (by Toni Cade Bambara)
Their Eyes Were Watching God (by Zora Neale Hurston)
