    　　As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students：“I’m only a 1050．”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Seholastic 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, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes 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 impossible 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 indicatorn——like a student’s high school grades．Even if standardieed tests like the SAT could show a steudnt’s academic profieiency(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．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．

    　　Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned．

    　　The success of James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster(卖座的大片), which has already taken more than ＄1 billion(￡600 million)at the box office, is fuelling a surge in popularity for three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets．

    　　But prolonged viewing may result in an aching head, according to Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmology(眼科学)professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago．

    　　He said："There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, for example a minor muscle imbalance, which under normal circumstances the brain deals with naturally．"

    　　Watching a 3D movie confronts viewers with an entirely new sensory experience．"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said．

    　　Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology(神经学)at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said："If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert．This disparity for some people will give them a headache．"

    　　Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film．

    　　Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before．

    　　But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads．

    (1)

    What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said?

    [　　]

    A．

    A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films．

    B．

    The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumstances naturally．

    C．

    A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumstances．

    D．

    People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films．

    (2)

    What does the underlined word “prolonged” in the 3rd paragraph mean?

    [　　]

    A．

    continuous

    B．

    constant

    C．

    regular

    D．

    long-time

    (3)

    According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    It has taken less than ＄1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets．

    B．

    Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience．

    C．

    There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film．

    D．

    Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future．

    (4)

    What’s the main idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head．

    B．

    New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems．

    C．

    The experts are studying how to get rid of many of the problems that have previously caused sore heads．

    D．

    Viewing 3D films may result in some side-effect problems such as headaches．
