12.As a professor at a large American university,there is a phrase I hear often from students:"I'm only a 1050."The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT),which is used to decide whether they will be allowed to the college or university of their choice,or even have a chance to get to a higher education at all.The SAT score,whether it is 800,1100or 1550,has becomes the key point at this time of their life.It is clear that if students value highly their test scores,then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who do poorly in 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 worry that many of life's doors will close for them for ever.
According to a study done in the 1990s,the SAT is only a dependable sign of a student's future performance in most situations.Interestingly,it becomes much more exact when it is set together with other signs-like a student's high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student's academic proficiency(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(招生过程).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.

C.education in the future
D.efforts in the university
55.The underlined phrase"prestigious university"meansD.

D.the SAT is the only method to test student's academic proficiency.
分析 试题分析:本文主要就是讲述了美国的SAT考试以及这种考试对学生的影响.SAT是一种决定学生能否上大学的考试,有具体的分数.这种考试给学生带来的影响很大,分数越低,学生感觉就越不好.
解答 54.A 55.D 56.B
54.A 细节题.根据第一段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 800,1100or 1550,has becomes the key point at this time of their life.说明SAT是一种决定学生能否上大学的考试,有具体的分数,说明这个考试主要关注的是学生的学习成绩,与能力无关.故A正确.
55.D 词意理解题.根据本句And without a degree from aprestigious university,they fear that many of life's doors will remain forever closed.说明是指如果不能被aprestigious university录取,那么生活的大门就会关闭,可知这里是指名校,故D正确.
56.B 段落理解题.根据最后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.SAT在很多方面都是一个很出色的测试,分数也仍然是检测学生的一种有用的方法.然而,它只能是众多方法中的一种而已.故B项正确.
点评 做推理判断题要注意两点:一是推理,二是判断,而且两者密不可分.推理是为了判断,判断依赖于推理.推理判断题要求学生根据原文,经过推理,进行判断,从而得出结论,所以推理判断题的答案不能在文中直接找出.但是,推理时务必要忠实于原文,在文章中寻找可推论的依据,切忌妄加评论,把自己的观点当成作者的观点.
借鉴别人的学习方法,是提高学习的捷径之一.请仔细阅读第56~60题中优秀学生的经验总结,并把他们的学习秘诀和相关例子一一配对.
A.Do more than you are asked.
B.Study anywhere--or everywhere.
C.Study together.
D.Make yourself busy.
