2015重庆四月高考英语阅读、短文改错训练（10）及答案
阅读理解。
As a profeor at a large American university，I often hear a phrase 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 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 800,1100 or 1550，has become the focus at this time of their life.It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores，then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score，they think，will make it impoible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a_prestigious_university，they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s，the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases.Interestingly，it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators—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 will power，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 admiion proce.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.1.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’________.A.strong will
B.academic ability C.full potentialities
D.confidence in school work 2.Students’ selfrespect is influenced by their________.A.scores in the SAT
B.achievements in mathematics C.job opportunities
D.money spent on education 3.The underlined phrase ―a prestigious university‖ probably means ―________‖.A.a famous university
B.a technical university C.a traditional university
D.an expensive university 4.This paage is mainly about________.A.how to prepare for the SAT
B.stre caused by the SAT C.American higher education
D.the SAT and its effects

Imagine looking for your lost dog.You step into a cave.But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings.You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison drawn in black, brown, red and yellow.Your first question would probably be―Who did this? ‖
This is what happened to four French boys in 1940.They found the Lascaux caves.The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17, 000 years old.They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnon(克鲁马努人).
Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today.They used tools, such as fishing nets.But their art was extremely good.The main cave at Lascaux is called Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours.The largest 2 animal is 18 feet long.There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear.There is also a strange spotted two-horned(两只角的)animal.
To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours.One painting is called Little Horses.On the ceiling are horses and cows.The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird.
Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magic power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us.The Cro-Magnons were interested in the world.They looked at beauty and they understood it.
