large american university，i often hear a phrase from students：“im only a 1050.” the unlucky students are speaking of the score on the scholastic 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 800,1100 or 1550，has become 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 selfrespect 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 lifes doors will remain forever closed. according to a study done in the 1990s，the sat is only a reliable indicator of a students future performance in most cases.interestingly，it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicatorslike a students high school grades.even if standardized tests like the sat could show a students academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence，efforts and will power，and are unable to give us the full picture of a students 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.1.the purpose of the sat is to test students_.a.strong will b.academic abilityc.full potentialities d.confidence in school work2.students selfrespect is influenced by their_.a.scores in the sat b.achievements in mathematicsc.job opportunities d.money spent on education3.the underlined phrase “a prestigious university” probably means “_”.a.a famous university b.a technical universityc.a traditional university d.an expensive university4.this passage is mainly about_.a.how to prepare for the sat b.stress caused by the satc.american higher education d.the sat and its effects【阅读心得】1.however，many of the young readers are

bison（北美野牛）get smaller. joseph craine, research assistant professor in the division of biology at kansas state university, examined how climate change during the next 50 years will affect grazing（放牧）animals such as bison and cattle in the great plains. “bison are one of our most important conservation animals and hold a unique role in grasslands in north america,” craine said. “in addition to their cultural and ecological significance, theyre economically important. there are about half a million bison in the world.” craine analyzed a data set of 290,000 weights, ages and sexes collected from 22 bison herds（兽群）throughout the u. s. the organizations kept annual records of each animal in the herd and matched the data with the climates of the sites. based on differences in sizes of bison across herds, craine found that during the next 50 years, future generations of bison will be smaller in size and weigh less. climate is likely to reduce the nutritional quality of grasses, causing the animals to grow more slowly. “we know that temperatures are going to go up,” craine said. “we also know that warmer grasslands have grasses with less protein（蛋白质）, and we now know that warmer grasslands have smaller grazers. it all lines up to suggest that climate change will cause grasses to have less protein and cause grazers to gain less weight in the future.” craine said the results of climate change in coming decades can already be seen by comparing bison in cooler, wetter places with those in warmer, drier places. for example, the average 7-year-old male bison in south dakota weighed 1, 900 pounds, while an average 7- year-old male bison in oklahoma a warmer place weighed 1, 300 pounds. “the difference in temperature between those two states is around 20 degrees fahrenheit, which is about three times the projected increase in temperatures over the next 75 years,” craine said. “it is a clear indicator that long-term warming will affect bison and is something that will happen across the u.s. over the next 50-75 years.”1.inthenextfiftyyears,researcherssay,bisonwill_.a. become smaller and lighter b.disappearinthegreatplainsc. play a less important
