AP考试结束后哦 这一周有不少同学问老师今年考题的难度分析和考题回忆,以便于预测自己的考试成绩。
那么今天我们先聊AP美国历史考试,这门考试难度比较大,中国考生历年总体成绩不高,但敢于
挑战的学生越来越多,尤其是有些高一高二学生,挑战完以后,需要预测自己的成绩,来决定是否需
要取消或隐藏成绩对于那些中国学生很有把握的考试 比如微积分 统计 经济等我们后面陆续分析。
试卷分析是由乐训美加美国历史教师 LYN 根据一些学霸考生回忆出AP美史真题并加以评析,希望
给刚刚考过以及之后准备考试的学生一些帮助。
**在分析之前,先说明,试卷评析是根据南京考场学生的考题回忆做评析,北美地区考生可能试题不同,
AP考卷不止一套。
教师点评:Lyn’s Comment
Overall I felt that my students were able to give their best shot. They were confident
and were able to answer all the questions despite the broad coverage of the test. It
took a lot of effort to participate in this journey. By taking this exam they already
made a point that the journey it self is meaningful that the test result.
接下来,我们分析本次试题难度:
对于选择题来说:难度超越了预期,试题范围很广,学生备考需要对书本很熟悉,并做大量练习。
LYN:
The Multiple Choice was a little difficult than I expected. This section had a broader
coverage of the U.S History. Students who read the book and did more practice exercise
before the test found this section manageable.
SAQ部分的试题难度中等,
很多话题都是预测到的,课堂上作为重点讲解的;SAQ集中在“安得烈杰克逊,罗斯福新政,新英格
兰殖民地,中部殖民地,南部殖民地,与美国的1850和1900之间的能量来源。”能量来源在备考中
并没有作为重点,但在课堂做DBQ练习时,新英格兰和切萨皮克的例子对这题帮助很大.
学生在对SAQ成绩预测时,也不用太紧张,并非需要答对所有题目,至少答对三个SAQ问题就OK
LYN:
The SAQ questions are mediocre. It was about Andrew Jackson, FDR’s New Deal, Colonial
New England, Middle Colonies, Southern Colonies, and the U.S Energy sources between 1850
and 1900. All of the three topics were addressed in the lecture. The energy issue on the
other hand was not given priority but we managed to touch base on this. We did analyze a
sample DBQ in class about New England and Chesapeake. I am assuming that this helped
them easily answer the SAQ question about the colonial colonies. Students do not have to
worry if they cannot confidently answer all the SAQ but they have to make sure to hit
at least three SAQ questions here.
DBQ部分的题 几乎毫无惊喜,都在预料之内。
题目主要与奴隶制度相关;回答时,考生应该关注:奴隶制度短期和长期的影响;在答题时,需要提
供具体的解释和证据,以便更好的解释奴隶制的成因; 在提供证据方面,要涵盖“跨大西洋奴隶贸易、三角贸易,欧洲开发的概念,在南方的地理条件,贵族的盎格鲁-撒克逊文化,非洲文化,劳役,并未能转化为劳动力的美洲土著人。”
在试卷更后有两个LAQ,考生任选其一; 今年大多数学生选择了:美国在二战后的逐渐增长的反共
主义。这题不难,因为作为重点在课堂上反复讲过几次,在答题上应该充满信心。
答案应该包括与之相关的具体证据。如:红色恐慌,帕默突袭,KKK,民族源流法1921和1924,萨科
和万泽蒂案,遏制政策,非美委员会的房子,阿尔杰?希斯和惠特克室的情况下,联邦政府的忠诚
计划,罗森伯格,你要认真教歌,遏制政策,约瑟麦卡锡。
对于某些专业名词的翻译,如有误,同学们自行更正吧 。
接下来,直接贴一下LYN老师整理的考题:
The 4 SAQ:
Q1 is a cartoon of Andrew Jackson, titled the Veto Memory (I think this picture is
also in our book). Part a is about the perspective expressed in the image, part b asks
for one specific event that demonstrates the perspective, and part c asks for one
specific historical effect .
Q2 has two paragraphs where two historians, Biles and Best, talked
about their opinions on FDR and New Deal. Part a asks for comparison.
of the two persons' opinions, and parts b and c ask for evidence that can support either
historian's position.
Q3 asks about the colonial era. Parts a, b, and c ask about how the
environmental and geographical factors shaped the colonial development in New England,
middle, and southern colonies.
Q4 gives two pie-charts that show the change in US energy sources between 1850 and 1900. Part a asks for
an explanation of this change, while parts b and c ask for two historical effects that
the change had.
The DBQ asks about the causes of the institution of slavery from 1600 to 1750. Document
1 is a chart showing the amount of indentured servants and slaves from 1600-1699. Document 2 talks about the servants and slaves that an estate owner had. Document
3 talks about a slave owner called Francis Pott (?) who said he will give his two slaves
food and clothes etc. and treat them well in fear of "Savior Jesus Christ". Document 4
talks about the Virginia General Assembly where it was agreed that baptism/religion
doesn't free a slave from servitude, so that the slave owners can have no worry when
Christianizing the slaves. Document 5 is an elite letter denouncing the Bacon's Rebellion.
Document 6 is a Virginia General Assembly law excerpt which talks about defining slaves
as property and prohibiting intermarriage between blacks and whites. Document 7 is an
advertisement in the Virginia Gazette that talks about a slave owner trying to find his
escaped slaves.
The LAQ option 1 :compare the religious influence in 1800s and in 1945-2000 .
Option 2 asks about the American anticommunism in 1917-1929 and 1939-1959, the similarities and differences of anticommunism sentiments in these two periods,
and the reasons behind the similarities and differences.
就这样愉快的结束今天的16年AP美史考题评析吧,给那些需要的学生们,预祝大家拿到自己满意的成绩!
