Ⅰ.阅读理解

When it comes to the ACT(American College Test) vs the SAT(Scholastic Aptitude Test), both exams are widely accepted by U．S.colleges.It often leads students to ask：Which test should I take？The answer to that question lies in understanding the differences between the two tests.

Both college admissions exams are wildly popular.In the class of 2019, a reported 2.2 million test­takers completed the SAT while 1.8 million students took the ACT.It is unclear how many students took both, but experts say it is common practice for a test­taker to deal with both exams.“More and more students in the last 5 to 10 years are taking both，” says Joe Korfmacher, director of an admissions consulting company.But despite this, the tests vary in structure and timing as well as the content matter and scoring.

Students hoping to find the easier testing option are out of luck.These are high­stakes tests; neither of them is going to be easy.To help students make their decision, experts suggest they begin with a practice test and see which exam is best suited for them.The two exams may have appeal to different types of students.Experts advise that students with a strong English background may choose the ACT, which puts more emphasis on verbal skills.But for students who are strong in math, the SAT may reflect that much better.

The SAT costs $49.50 for the test only and $64.50 if the optional essay is included.The ACT costs $52 for only the exam and $68 if the optional writing test is included.Additional fees may apply for other options, such as late registration.

Regardless of which test students decide to take, the idea behind both exams is similar：to demonstrate college readiness.To help students be successful, experts offer strategic test­prep tips.Some are simple, such as bringing a snack on the test day and taking breaks when

offered.Others require much more time and deliberation on the part of the student, such as identifying and working on weak spots in testing.
