前言
SAT全稱為ScholasticAssessmentTest，中文名稱為“學術能力評估測試”。與ACT考試一樣，SAT考試被視為“美國高考”，SAT成績是世界各國高中生申請到美國名校學習及獲取獎學金的重要條件之一。近年來，參加SAT考試的中國考生人數呈逐年上升趨勢，競爭日趨激烈。
考生如何在SAT考試中獲得優異成績呢？SAT考試內容包括批判性閱讀（CriticalReading）、數學（Mathematics）和寫作（Writing）三個部分，而不論是寫作部分的Essay寫作單項、語法單項還是閱讀部分的填空與閱讀單項，都離不開對辭彙的考查，辭彙在SAT考試中有著至關重要的地位。那么參加SAT考試到底需要背多少單詞呢？這是很多考生的疑問，是5000？8000？還是10000？……這個問題不好回答，也沒有一個標準的答案。編者基於對SAT考試歷年真題以及眾多權威的SAT考試輔導資料的研究，結合自己多年的SAT教學經驗，精選了3500多個核心辭彙（其中包括365個高頻詞和175個熱詞），並給出常考釋義和經典例句及搭配，同時給出了派生詞，從而使得本書極具實用性和指導性。
本書設定如下：
3500多個核心詞，分為35個單元，每單元100詞左右。
【釋】給出單詞在SAT中常考的中英文釋義，幫助考生針對考試準確理解單詞，達到“事半功倍”的備考效果。
【例】收錄大量與真實考試難度相當的例句，並配以中文譯文，幫助考生在語境中理解單詞，強化記憶效果。
【搭】提供常考短語和搭配，幫助考生掌握單詞重點用法。
【派】歸納單詞的常考派生詞，幫助考生全面擴充辭彙量。
【返記選單】設定在每頁底端，便於查找定位，及時複習。
365個高頻詞和175個熱詞
1.高頻詞和熱詞在核心辭彙中分別以■和●標註。
2.在書後單獨列出。
3.幫助考生重點鞏固、查缺補漏。
本書使用說明：
1.每天設定固定的時間（比如早上9點）、利用固定的時段（比如2個小時）來學習一個單元。
2.第一遍看單詞時，重點看每個單元中的高頻詞和熱詞，並在不認識的單詞旁作標記，在以後的學習過程中，格外注意這些單詞。
3.第二遍看單詞時，重點看每個單元中較長的辭彙，對多於一個釋義的辭彙和有生僻釋義的辭彙格外注意。
4.可以把不熟悉的單詞寫在一張卡片或紙上，以便利用零散時間隨時進行複習。
5.根據書中的例句，自己再寫一些句子。
對於任何一門語言類考試來說，辭彙都是很重要的，SAT考試自然也不例外。辭彙學習雖然是個艱辛的過程，但這樣豐富的學習經歷是非常寶貴的，對一個人未來的學習、工作和生活都是大有裨益的。最後，祝福每位考生通過學習本書都能有所收穫，夯實自己的辭彙基礎，從容應對未來的SAT考試。
