2017年11月11日ACT考试已经过去了一段时间了，今天上海新航道小编要跟大家分享的是这次考试几个特殊的地方。

A：这是香港次在11月份举办ACT考试，港澳因为重阳节延后了考试日期。考试日期恰巧是双十一，这场考试伴随着盛大的购物狂欢。

B：这是我第20次带团去香港，按理说应该顺顺利利，但是偏偏出了很多意外，以至于往返票全部作废，额外支付了4000元重新购买往返票。类比到考试，千万因为平时练习很好疏忽大意，取得好成绩需要经年累月的努力，但是取得坏成绩只需要几分钟。

C：新蒲岗考试人数出乎了我的预料，没想到新蒲岗考场这次有357名考生来考试。新蒲岗是有3-4个考场构成的，的考场是210人，每排30人。本次候补考试standby考生有15人，比上次standby考生数量明显有回落，而且流程环节也出了问题，7点50才有候补考生急匆匆往里边进...

D：本次考试试卷类似2014年12月ACT真题72G，就是试题过渡阶段的产物。阅读第二篇是双篇，科学是七篇。这就意味着接下来考生将会继续面临新旧交替的局面。

E：今年11月份的ACT试卷A03跟之前判断一致，会重复使用十月份的试卷，本次使用的试卷避开了美国地区的ACT试卷A12，韩国试卷A04，日本试卷A07，选择使用了其它国际考区的试卷。虽然我们判断对了，但是没想到ACT把规则搞的如此复杂。

F：调查问卷透露了一个信息，当明年机考时，ACT可能在48小时内出成绩。

以下是ACT试卷A03内容的简介：

语法：

固定搭配有3-4道，需要文字理解的题目比较多。涉及的典型问题有时态、单复数、过渡词，注意固定搭配drain out 流失; (使) 流出。在拉惟学院的考前冲刺串讲里我们涉及的past vs pass、独立主格、非限定等都考到了。

文章的题目分别是—

P1：The Lavittown Method

P2：Nahuku

P3：The Hampshire Grapes

P4：The Sharpest Knife at the Table

P5：The Miniscule Art

数学：

整体上没有难度，相对容易。

需要注意的是椭圆考点，椭圆一般会涉及到椭圆的面积πab，椭圆的方程，椭圆的变换。

阅读：

篇 来自小说The Pearl Diver，作者Jeff Talarigo，属于常考体裁，文章考的比较细，这个作者文风比较直接，题目不会太难。

In his novel The Pearl Diver (2004), Jeff Talarigo combines the tradition of diving for pearls off the coast of Japan together with the less exotic practice of exiling Japanese citizens who become inflicted with the disease of leprosy. Japan has a long history of forcing people to abandon family members who become leprosy victims, reacting to the disease as if it were a source of shame. Such is the case for the protagonist in Talarigo’s novel, who at nineteen years old notices two sores on her body and soon recognizes them as the beginning stages of leprosy. She is a pearl diver and loves the freedom that this occupation offers her. That freedom is soon taken away as she is forced to live on the island of Nagashima in a colony of lepers.

Isolated from her family, friends, and coworkers, the protagonist is told to forget her history. Everything that she has ever known, authorities warn her, has been erased. She must even take a new name. Through a period of readjustment, the young girl is reborn with the name "Miss Fuji." Her disease is treated successfully, but she is not allowed to return home. Her former life is forever gone to her. To help her adjust to her new life, Miss Fuji learns to care for others at the colony. It is through her attention to others that the theme of compassion is expressed. Miss Fuji does not, however, completely succumb to the restraints that are placed on her life. She is by nature rebellious and finds ways throughout the novel to project her independence.

The story is set in post-war Japan, beginning in the late 1940s. As the decades pass, Miss Fuji witnesses many horrible betrayals, but even as conditions improve at the asylum, she realizes that as harsh as life is on the island, she is no longer suited to living among those who have remained on the mainland. The theme of survival is powerfully projected through the protagonist, who learns to cope with her isolation and actually thrive in spite of it.

第二篇 双篇对比，文章讲的是知识产权Copyright and the Wrongs，文章援引了Justin Hughes和William Fisher的文章，这个体裁比较罕见，拉惟学院在考前冲刺串讲中建议大家把这篇放在最后做是特别适合的。

第三篇 人物传记，一个音乐家的生平及贡献，文章题目Conductor of the People，文章作者是Arthur Lubow，这是常见的体裁。

第四篇 大脑神经耗能之类的，文章是The Man Who Would Teach Machines to Think，作者Douglas，针对概念进行了出题。这篇文章符合了all in AI的潮流，讲述了当下最热的概念人工智能领域，中国目前是这个领域的最强者。

科学：

科学大家反映是比较难的。涉及到化学元素Ar、Ne、F2的diffusion，CV是跟生物相关的，涉及钾离子的含量升高会产生的印象。物理涉及到potential energy、转速跟距离的关系。

写作：

既然我们都喜欢好东西，那么我们是否该无限得到好东西(Too much a good thing)

P1: 不应该无限得到好东西，太多就不知道感恩，不容易满足。

P2：我们应该尽可能争取更多好东西，只要有好东西，我们理应该去努力得到。

P3：太多好的东西会毁掉我们的健康和快乐，很多人不能区分欲望和利益。
