C [2015 •黑龙江省佳木斯市第一中学高一下学期期中]

The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The other test is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT yearly, including about 100,000 foreign students. The or?ganization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words. But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.

The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be asked to tell the mean?ing of words according to the context of the reading passa?ges. Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University. She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform.

Eddie West is with the College Board. He says the new test will better predict a student's performance in col?lege. The changes are moving the test in a positive direc?tion. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abili?ties that students need to succeed. The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it's a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Inde?pendence or Martin Luther King's work, or anything else that might be tested.

Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, may feel it is more diffi?cult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.

24. What will be tested in the new SAT?

A. All the different meanings of a word.

B. The rare usage of the common words.

C. The difficult words for foreign students.

D. The proper meaning of the words in the passages.

25. The new SAT could be more difficult for international students because _______ .

A. they are short of skills and abilities

B. they often perform badly in college

C. they know nothing about American history

D. they have different cultural backgrounds

26. What's the main idea of the text?

A. How to prepare for the new SAT.

B. The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.

C. Advice for foreign .students on passing the SAT.

D. Tests for entrance to American colleges and uni?versities.

The West is full of fast food and large amounts of food which contribute to many women's being fat. While many are fat, thin women are admired and seen as healthier. This has led to a culture of gym-going, strange die?ting methods and, frequently, eating disorders. In the East, women tend to be smaller and many women take pills to keep their slim figures as they get older. However, you're mistaken if you think thinness is the beauty stand?ard all over the world. The BBC reports that in Mauritania, Africa, the op?posite is true.

In Mauritania, mothers force their daughters to eat a lot of food so that they get as fat as possible. The fatter they are, the more likely they are to marry well. Fat is also considered healthy, because in a country where HIV/AIDS is a very real problem, thin people are often sick and dying. However, "healthy" fat women are suffering from some problems of their own and many are dying in their 40s of weight-related diseases.

The Mauritanian government is trying to warn its people of the dangers of being overweight but it's not easy to change cultural views. Many women worry that if they lose weight, their husbands will leave them for fatter, more attractive women.

It seems that while education about the dangers of being too thin and too fat is very important, what the world really needs is to become less pre?occupied with the size, shape and weight of women's bodies. The promotion of healthy practices is easy but changing cultural beauty standards takes more time, imagination and effort.

1. According to the article, why are women usually fatter in the West?

A. They don't exercise enough.

B. Large food portions and fast food are common.

C. They use unhealthy dieting methods.

D. They believe that being fat is beautiful.

2. What examples does the writer give of unhealthy weight-loss methods in the East and West?

A. Strange dieting methods, exercising, taking pills and eating too much.

B. Taking pills, watching what you eat and exercising.

C. Strange dieting methods and warning people about the dangers of be?ing overweight.

D. Gym-going, strange dieting methods, eating disorders and taking pills.

3. Why are girls forced to eat a lot of food in Mauritania?

A. They believe that fat people won't get HIV/AIDS.

B. They believe that they can lead healthier lives.

C. They believe if they grow fat, they may possibly marry good hus?bands.

D. They believe that they won't get sick very often.

4. According to the article, why do some women in Mauritania not want to lose weight even though they know being fat is unhealthy?

A. They worry that their husbands will leave them if they're thin.

B. They really like being beautiful.

C. They really like eating a lot of food and being fat.

D. The government forces them to eat a lot so they won't get sick.

3. he will come to meet you. (rely on)
