很多考生问老师，文章的斜体字会告诉考生哪些内容?其实斜体字基本上会告诉这篇文章的关键词，也就是文章讨论的对象是什么。小站君以下面四个例子来详细讲解。
Ex. 1: The first of the following excerpts is adapted from a 1996 essay about an exhibit of paintings by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675); the second is from an autobiography written in 1962.
Ex. 2: This passage is excerpted from a 1996 book about Thomas Jefferson, statesman and third President of the United States.
Ex. 3: This passage, written in 1996, is adapted from a book in which an oceanographer recounts her experiences piloting a deep-sea submersible craft to explore the ocean floor.
Ex. 4: In this passage from a 1997 essay, the author reflects on his 1973 interview with actress/singer Josephine Baker and writer James Baldwin, both Americans who left the United States to live in France.
Ex 1和Ex 2里面的斜体字出现了essay，autobiography，book等，基本上我们可以*这些单词来大体推测一下文章打体裁。比如Essay，一般是话题性的文章，可以是Informative，也可以是Argumentative，当然在我们的SAT考试中偏Argumentative的文章比较多一点，这样当你看到Essay这个单词之后，马上你就想到寻找Argumentative的文章的Big Picture需要寻找Main point, Evidences, Anecdote, Concession/Implication/Application的部分，这样你的阅读就比较程序化;当然Autobiography是偏Narrative的文章，那么你就要想它的Big Picture要包含Event, Emotion这两个*基本的要素。
Ex 3和Ex 4里面出现了一些动词，*recount, reflect on我们比较容易判断文章是Narrative的文章，而如果碰到了persuade, demonstrate, disprove, doubt, convince等，则比较容易判断是Argumentative的文章，当然如果碰到了examine, analyze, present等，则比较容易判断这篇文章是偏Informative的。
总体来说，就是斜体字部分包含很多提示文章内容的关键信息，不管是什么文章类型，出现了斜体字的话一定要去阅读，“磨刀不误砍柴工”，看完斜体字部分，文章要讲解什么也就心中有数了。
