how SATs Work
Tests are a fact of life throughout our school careers, but one of the most important, and, to some the scariest, of them all is the SAT—that three-hour exam that's supposed to measure a high school student's chance of academic success in the first year of college. Some colleges consider SAT scores major factors in their admission process, while others view high school academic performance, along with recommendations and extracurricular activities, equally, or even more importantly. No matter where you're headed, if you're a high school student, the SAT is important to you because most colleges require students to report either SAT or ACT Assessment (another test) scores.
What Is the SAT？
First of all, SAT no longer stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test (学术性倾向测验), the original name of the test when it was introduced in 1941.Although you may still see that name occasionally, the College Board, the not-for-profit educational association that sponsors the SATs, decided to let the acronym stand on its own as a way of addressing controversy about the meaning of the word "aptitude". The College Board also rejected the alternative "Scholastic Assessment Test". (English teachers probably pointed out that this name was redundant, since assessment means test.)
The SAT I measures verbal and math reasoning abilities that you've developed throughout your school years. The multiple-choice test, developed by the not-for-profit Educational Testing Service, is intended to let students demonstrate their verbal and math abilities without regard to the kind of schooling they've had. According to the College Board, the test looks for a student's ability to understand and analyze written material, to draw inferences, to differentiate shades of meaning, to draw conclusions and solve math problems all skills that are necessary for success in college and the work world.
The American College Testing (ACT).Assessment, which was introduced in 1959, is an alternative to the SAT that virtually all colleges and universities now accept. Developers of the test tout it for its curriculum-based questions, saying that their test is more directly related to what is actually taught in high school.
What's the SAT II
The newer SAT II: Subject Tests, formerly the College Board Achievement Tests, are intended to measure a student's knowledge of a particular subject, such as English (writing or literature), history and social sciences, mathematics (various levels), sciences, and languages (Chinese, French, German, modern He brew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Spanish, English). Some colleges require one or more SAT II tests, but even if they aren't required, SAT II tests scores can help you present a more personalized portfolio that illustrates how well you would fit at a particular school. Most colleges use SAT II scores not for admission purposes but for program placement and counseling. SAT II tests are given on a slightly different schedule from the SATI. Generally, SAT II tests are one hour long and consist of multiple choice questions. There are except ions. For example, the Writing Test has 40 minutes of multiple-choice questions and a 20-minute writing sample.
To decide which subject test should be taken, first, make a list of all the colleges you're considering. Then review their catalogs or websites to find out if they require Subject Test scores

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文： (26) I was born just after the end of the World War H, so I have lived in interesting economic times. My parents' experiences in the Great Depression of the 1930s gave them a worrisome attitude towards money. On the one hand, they were very grateful for better times and were determined that my sisters and I would have everything they had been denied--that we would never suffer as they had. On the other hand, (27) they were very careful with money, restrained by their ear that bad times might return.
As children and young adults, my. friends and I knew good economic times, and we didn't understand our parents' fear about going back to the "bad old days". Parents used to scold their children by saying," You don't know the value of the dollar." They meant that we didn't really appreciate money or understand how difficult it was to earn and save; neither did we understand how bad life could be without enough to buy the necessities. By the time we had become adults, however, dramatic changes in the inflation rate made the statement true in another way.
Our parents had learned to save, to be frugal, and to put money away "for a rainy day". (28) We learned to spend impulsively in order to purchase items before they became more expensive. Interest rates on most savings accounts were less than the rate of inflation, so it made some economic sense to spend now, save later. Unfortunately, our response to inflation actually fueled it, and government wage and price controls were required to bring the situation under control.

Kharrazi's visit, the first by an Iranian minister since the 1979 Islamic revolution, was hailed by the international community as a crucial step cementing a rapprochement with Britain after decades of suspicion and mistrust.
Relations between the two countries soured and came to a standstill when(30)the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a death order two years ago against Salman Rushdie, the British writer who authored "the satanic verses" for so-called disrespecting Islam.
After the meeting, Blair's spokesman said Kharrazi's visit was "an important landmark in Iran's reintegration into the international community." (29) It shows that the tense relationship between Western countries and Iran began to ease. (31)Peaceful means again turned out to be the best solution in settling differences.
The visit, along with the normalization of diplomatic relations between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Italy, got across a message that ideological or cultural differences should not constitute an obstacle to the development of bilateral relations.
Economic sanctions imposed by Western countries against Iran can do nothing but only lead to further confrontation and hostility.
According to the current situation, British Prime Minister Tony Blair has changed the nation's strategy, and he decided to decrease the collapse of relations between Britain and Iran. Also he advised the whole western nations should also make a change to improve the peacefulness of the whole world. "We want peace and not war. "He said.
