美国历史是人文阅读学习的必备科目之一。本书作为备考SAT、ACT和AP考试的必备教材之一,是顶上英语美国历史教研和教学团队多年研究和实践的精华与沉淀。学生不应该仅将美国历史视为一门应试科目,而应该将自己代入历史,融入美国建国200余年来的文化土壤,了解从独立战争到今日美国的每一个历史转折点,批判性地去思考美国腾飞历程中每一个决定的合理性,以美国一国为起点与他国文化进行深入对比,*终站在“历史”这一巨人的肩膀上,学着用历史眼光审视今日时事。此书付梓前业已付诸日常教学,实践证明,用以上高标准自我要求的学生,能够逐渐培养自身的批判性思维,通过考试就更不成问题。
《SAT/ACT/AP必考美国历史》是一本旨在帮助想要留学海外的学生复习备考美国历史科目而编写的一本参考书。历史是反映学生思维能力的一面明镜。The College Board(美国大学理事会)将历史学科纳入标准化和能力考试,并不是为了考验莘莘学子的记忆力,而是通过对历史的解读考查学生的思维高度——论学识,是否能用缜密清晰的因果逻辑线串起美国建国200余年以来的大事件;论思维,能否跳出框架,用具有军事高度的眼光对世界各国的发展与未来做出比较、分析与预判;论语言组织,能否在有限的时间内,将严密的思维付诸笔端。希望考生们通过对本书的学习,培养自身批判性思维,顺利通过考试。
本书共分为二十章,梳理了美国自殖民地时期至当代美国的两百年间发生的重大历史事件,便于考生按时间和事件发展顺序进行复习备考。
