as a professor at a large american university, there is a phrase that i hear often from students:“i’m only a 1050.”the unlucky students are speaking of the score on the seholastic aptitude test (sat), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. the sat score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes the focus at this time of their life.
it is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. the low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. and without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
according to a study done in the 1990s, the sat is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicatorn——like a student’s high school grades. even if standardieed tests like the sat could show a steudnt’s academic profieiency(学业水平),they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力).this is not to suggest that we should stop using sat scores in our college admission process. the sat is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. however, it should be only one of many methods used.
64.the purpose of the sat is to test students’ .
a.strong will b.academic ability
c.full potentialities d.confidence in school work
65.students’ self-respect is influeneed by their .
a.seores in the sat b.achievements in mathematic
c.job opportunities d.money spent on education
66.“a prestigious university”is most probably
a.a famous university b.a technical universtiy
c.a traditional university d.an expensive university
67.this passage is mainly about .
a.how to prepare for the sat b.stress caused by the sat
c.american higher education d.the sat and its effects
(d)

hello, everyone. it’s nice to speak about what we can do for our school, and i think each of us
can do somethng.
the first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautiful. every one of us may plant a
tree in the school, or organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. we can also form a good habit
of putting the rubbish in the trashcan.
the second thing we can do is to protect the facilities in our school. when we leave the
classroom, we should never forget to turn off the light or close the door. we should not leave the
tap water running or waste any materials in the laboratory class.
if everyone does one thing for our school, i believe we will turn our school into a better place to
study and live in.
thank you for listening!
