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 But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.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 The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students.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.

   For those who make journeys across the world. the speed of travel  today has rHglJhfij turned the countries into a series of villages. gg^gj^ Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveller than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.

Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the con?quest (征月8) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured (忍受).The boat offers enough leisure and time to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting.in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.

Then there is the time spent being " processed" at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed,tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to an?other waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes,but the hours devoted to being "processed"at depar?ture and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then,that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.

Man, however, is now a world traveller and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker ,too? with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing―or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master. 

20.  What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1 ?

A.  Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of vil?lages.

B.  The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.

C.  The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.

D. Man has been fond of travelling rather than staying in one place.

21.  How does the writer support the underlined state?ment in Paragraph 2?

   A.  By giving instructions.

B.  By analysing cause and effect.

C.  By following the order of time.

D.  By giving examples.

22.  What does the last sentence of the passage mean?

   A.  They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.

B.  They needed the clock to tell the time.

C.  They preferred travelling on horseback.

D.  They could travel with their master.

23.  What is the main idea of the passage?

  A.  Air travel benefits people and industries.

B.  Train travel has some advantages over air travel.

C.  Great changes have taken place in modern travel.

   D.  The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

    A [2015 •全国卷H]

   My colour television has given me noth?ing but a headache. I was able to buy it a lit?tle over a year ago because I had my rela?tives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately , I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

    Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电)noise. For some reason, when cer?tain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉)shaking my set.

    When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $ 62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.

16.  Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

   A.  He got an older model than he had expected.

B.  He couldn't return it when it was broken.

C.  He could have bought it at a lower price.

D.  He failed to find any movie shows on it.

17.  Which of the following can best replace the phrase "signed off" in Paragraph 1?

   A.  ended all their programmes

B.  provided fewer channels

C.  changed to commercials

D.  showed all-night movies

18.  How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

   A.  By shaking and hitting it.

B.  By turning it on and off.

C.  By switching channels.

D.  By having it repaired.

19.  How does the author sound when telling the story?
A, Curious.            B. Anxious.

C. Cautious.          D. Humorous.
