2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（20）及答阅读理解as a professor at a 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 willb.academic abilityc.full potentialitiesd.confidence in school work2.students selfrespect is influenced by their_.a.scores in the satb.achievements in mathematicsc.job opportunitiesd.money spent on education3.the underlined phrase “a prestigious university” probably means “_”.a.a famous universityb.a technical universityc.a traditional universityd.an expensive university4.this passage is mainly about_.a.how to prepare for the satb.stress caused by the satc.american higher educationd.the sat and its effects1.however，many of the young readers are getting interested in such poisonous reading，which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and immoral ideas in return.(完形填空第二段倒数第二句)然而，许多年轻的读者对这些有害刊物非常感兴趣，而这些刊物花掉了他们本该去买早饭的钱，反而给他们带来了噩梦和邪恶的想法。(1)i bought him a drink in return for his help.我请他喝酒以酬谢他的帮助。(2)on his return he reported his findings to the committee.他一回来就向委员会报告结果。(3)have you returned the novel to the library?那本小说你还给图书馆了吗？(4)we decided to return blow for blow.我们决定以牙还牙。2.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.(阅读理解第一段第二句)这些不幸的学生正谈论他们sat测试的分数，而这分数决定了他们是否能进入他们选择的高校，或有机会接受更高层次的教育。(1)each ticket admits two persons to the party.每张票可供两人入场参加聚会。(2)he was admitted to hospital with minor burns.他因轻度烧伤而入院。(3)the school admits sixty new boys and girls every year.这所学校每年招收六十名男女新生。(4)he admitted having stolen the car.他招认偷了那辆汽车。3.it is obvious that if students value highly their test scores，then a great amount of
