Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test muasures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension. But the SAT folks have added a single question , to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. Thats an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young peoples handwriting lately? Or anyones for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise, penmanship(书法)-once taught so morally and carefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.Yet todays kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the test scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people whove been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations. And dont forget, we all have to resort to handwriting from rime to time, as computers go down when the power goes out. 1. The subjects to be tested in the SAT include . A. math,English,reading and handwriting B. math, grammar,reading and writing C. math,foreign language and writing D. math,English and handwriting答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第一段最后两句话 “The Scholastic Aptitude Test muasures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.”和第二段第一句话 “But the SAT folks have added a single question , to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot.”可知，答案为B。 2.The author write this passage to introduce the fact that . A. writing seems to be very important in the SAT B. those who will go to colleges have to take the SAT C. students should practice handwriting more often D. at the computer age kids dont know how to write. 答案解析：答案为C。本题为文章的主旨大意题。全文由SAT考试增加书面表达部分的改革引入话题-当前学生不重视书写，因此此项改革就是为了使学生书写工整，改掉书写潦草的坏习惯。故答案为C。3. What does the underlined word “scribble”probably mean? A. write quickly and roughly B. take notes difficultly C. print penmanship carefully D. describe written word generously 答案解析：答案为A。本题为词义推断题。结合划线部分的上下文，在这个计算机时代，学生手写的内容已经非常罕见，只有一两个单词写在行李箱或者午餐包上，用来辨认物主，书法在其他场合就像嘟嘟鸟一样灭绝了。故可以推断，学生在课堂上记笔记非常潦草。故答案为A，迅速而粗糙地书写。4. According to the passage good handwriting can . A. help students get high scores in tests B. make a student more popular C. measure studentss ability D. assist one to get a job答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题。由文章最后一段 “Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations.”可知，漂亮的书法不仅对SAT考试得分起到帮助作用，而且能给今后找工作时的雇主留下良好的印象，获得更多的退税。故答案为D，帮助一个人找工作。干扰项最强的A选项“帮助学生获得高分”拔高了文章的意思。故答案为D。阅读理解-AThe space shuttle Columbia flared and broke up in the skies over Texas on Saturday, February 1,2003, killing the seven astronauts on board in what NASA and President Bush called a tragedy for the entire nation. NASA launched an investigation into the disaster and began searching for the astronauts remains. It said that although there had been some data failures it was too early to nail down a precise cause. The break-up, 16 minutes before the shuttle was due to land at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, spread possibly toxic debris(有毒的残骸) over a wide swath of Texas and neighboring states. Dramatic television images of the shuttles descent clearly showed several white trails(痕迹) streaking through blue skies after the shuttle suddenly fell apart. It was almost 17 years to the day that the Challenger shuttle exploded on Jan. 28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board. Take-off and re-entry into Earths atmosphere are the most dangerous parts of a space mission. In 42 years of US human space flight, there had never been an accident in the descent to Earth or landing. Challenger exploded just after take-off. Rescue teams scrambled to search for the remains of the crew, which included the first Israeli to fly on the shuttle, former combat pilot Col. Ilan Ramon. There were warnings that parts of a vast 120-mile-long corridor of debris could be toxic because of poisonous rocket propellant(推进器). We are not ready to confirm that we have found any human remains, Nacogdoches County Sheriff Thomas Kerrs said. He added that among the roughly 1,000 calls reporting debris, some people said they found remains of crew members. The Columbia is lost. There are no survivors, Their mission was almost complete and we lost them so close to home. Americas space program will go on, said a grim-faced Bush in a message broadcast on television, which included condolences to the families of the dead astronauts.1. The word “descent” in the passage means _. A. taking off B. landing C. orbiting D. walking down答案解析：答案为B。本题为词义推断题。由第三段第二句话 “In 42 years of US human space flight, there had never been an accident in the descent to Earth or landing.”可知，在美国42年的载人航空飞行中，从来没有在着陆地面时发生事故，言外之意就是Columbia 航天飞机是着陆地面时坠毁。“or landing”对应的意思就是descent。故答案为B。2. Which is true of the Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon? A. He was the first Israeli astronaut to fly on the shuttle. B. He was the first foreign astronaut to fly on the American shuttle. C. He used to be a passenger plane pilot. D. He was the only survivor in the Columbia disaster.答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。由第四段第一句话 “, which included the first Israeli to fly on the shuttle, former combat pilot Col. Ilan Ramon.”可知，Ilan Ramon是第一个以色列乘坐航天飞机的宇航员，也是一名前战斗飞行员，故A选项正确，B，C错误。由最后一段第二句话 “There are no survivors,” 可知没有幸存者，故D选项错误。故答案为A。3. The Columbia disaster and the Challenger disaster were similar in that _. A. there were seven astronauts killed on board B. both the shuttles exploded when they took off C. Both the shuttles exploded when they were about to land D. no human remains were found答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题，要求寻找Columbia 和the Challenger 事故的相似之处。由第一段首句 “The space shuttle Columbia flared and broke up , killing the seven astronauts on board ”和第二段最后一句 “It was almost 17 years to the day that the Challenger shuttle exploded on Jan. 28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board.”可知，Columbia 和the Challenger都有七名宇航员遇难。故答案为A。 由第三段 “In 42 years of US human space flight, there had never been an accident in the descent to Earth or landing. Challenger exploded just after take-off.”可知，Columbia是着陆地面时坠毁，Challenger是在刚刚起飞后爆炸，故B、C选项错误。由倒数第二段最后一句话 “, some people said they found remains of crew members.” 可知，有些人说他们找到了宇航员的残骸，故D选项错误。4. Which of the following is wrong according to the news? A. The U.S.A. will give up the space program because of the accident. B. NASA hasnt found the cause of the Columbia disaster. C. Before the Columbia disaster, no shuttles had exploded in the course of landing. D. Take-off and re-entry into Earths atmosphere are the most dangerous parts of a space mission. 答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。由最后一段 “Americas space program will go on,”可知，A选项与文章不符，故答案为A。由第一段 “NASA launched an investigation into the disaster and began searching for the astronauts remains. It said that although there had been some data failures it was too early to nail down a precise cause.”可知，NASA认为对事故的准确原因进行定论还为时过早，故B选项与文章符合。结合第一题的分析可知，C选项与文章符合。由第三段首句 “ Take-off and re-entry into Earths atmosphere are the most dangerous parts of a space mission.” 可知，D选项与文章符合。故B、C、D均不选。
