【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 19-21
The United States has more than 3，000 colleges and universities．Most require high school students to take an admissions test，either the SAT or the ACT．But some have reconsidered．
The activist organization FairTest opposes the requirements．It lists more than 700 individual schools now where testing is optional．Students can provide their results,but only if they want to．
A number of the schools are related as campuses within university systems．Yet in some cases，it appears that other campuses do still require testing．
Testing critics say one reason to drop the requirement is that preparing for the tests takes away too much time from schoolwork,and life．They say the requirement places too much importance on one test and causes too much stress for students．
Still，critics question just how much the tests really show about a student．They say higher scores in some cases might only show that a student's family had the money for costly test-preparation classes．
One of the first colleges to drop the requirement was Bates College in Maine in 1984．Over the next 20 years，it compared students who provided their test scores and those who did not．The study found that grades and graduation rates were the same．

19．What would the students in the listed 700 schools probably do?

[解析] 选D，信息明示题。文章第二段提到，列出的700多个学校里，考试并非强制性要求，学生愿意的话可以提供他们的成绩，当然也可以不提供，所以本题选D。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析]
According to the critics，why should they drop the requirement?

[解析] 选D，信息明示题。文章第四段提到，批评家要求取消入学考试的要求是因为这一要求夸大了一次考试结果的重要性，给学生带来太大的压力，选项D 与之相符。该段虽然也提到准备考试会花费学生很多的时间，但并不是说考试用时很长，所以排除选项A。文章虽然提到参加考试辅导班费用很高，但这并不是批评家要求取消考试的原因，所以选项B也不对。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析]
What can we learn from the passage?

[解析] 选B，综合推断题。文章最后一段提到，Bates college比较了过去20年里有考试成绩和没有考试成绩的学生，结果发现这两类学生的评分和毕业率是一样的，没有什么区别。也就是说有考试成绩的学生比率的高低对毕业率的高低没什么影响，选项B正确。
