7. Bg_SAT 1 SAT（Scholastic Assessment Test）（“学术水平测验考试”是美国高中生进入美国大学的标准入学考试）The College Board’s SAT Program consists of the SAT Reasoning Test TM(SAT)and SAT Subject Tests TM.The SAT is three hours and 45 minutes long and measures skills in three areas: critical reading，math，and writing.Although most questions are multiple choice，students are also required to write a 25-minute essay. The SAT Subject Tests are one-hour，mostly multiple-choice tests in specific subjects.These tests measure knowledge of particular subjects and the ability to apply that knowledge.Many colleges require or recommend one or more of these tests for admission or placement purposes.

8. Bg_SAT 2 Each section of the SAT is scored on a scale of 200—800，with two writing subscores for multiple-choice and the essay.It is administered seven times a year in the U.S.，Puerto Rico，and U.S.Territories，and six times a year overseas. Many colleges use the Subject Tests for admission，for course placement，and to advise students about course selection.Used in combination with other background information(your high school record，scores from other tests like the SAT Reasoning Test，teacher recommendations，etc.)，they provide a dependable measure of your academic achievement and are a good predictor of future performance.

9. A Britain’s University of Cambridge has topped the list，making it the best university in the world for science.In 2009，the university will celebrate its 800th anniversary，making it one of the world’s oldest universities.Cambridge is the largest university in the United Kingdom(over 100 departments，faculties and schools).Its contribution to the world has ranged from the discovery of the mechanism of blood circulation to the structure of DNA，from the great philosophers of the early 15th century to the groundbreaking work of its many Nobel Prize winners (more than 60 distinguished names feature on the list)

10. B The University of Oxford is one of the oldest English-speaking universities. It can lay claim to nine centuries of documented existence. According to the university’s website，there is no clear date of foundation，but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167，when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.Except for St. Hildas—which continues to remain an all-women college—all of Oxford’s 39 colleges now admit both men and women.

11. C Harvard University is ranked No.3 among the top ten universities in the world. Harvard College was established in 1636 and was named for its first benefactor(捐助者) John Harvard of Charlestown. Harvard was a young minister who，on his death in 1638，left his library and half his estate to the newly established institution. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Seven presidents of the United States (John Adams，John Quincy Adams，Theodore and Franklin Delano Roosevelt，Rutherford B Hayes，John Fitzgerald Kennedy and George W Bush)were graduates of Harvard.Its faculty has produced 40 Nobel laureates (戴桂冠的人).

12. D The roots of the University of California go back to the gold rush days of 1849，when the drafters of the states constitution required the legislature to encourage by all suitable means the promotion of intellectual，scientific，moral and agricultural improvement of the people of California. The university that was born nearly 20 years later—on March 23，1868—was the product of a merger between the College of California(a private institution)and the Agricultural，Mining，and Mechanical Arts College. Among other things，the university is credited with the isolation of the human polio virus and the discovery of all artificial elements heavier than uranium. Eighteen members of the Berkeley faculty have been awarded Nobel Prizes for these and subsequent discoveries，as well as in literature and economics.

13. E It’s probably one of the most famous universities in the world. But did you know its founder，William Barton Rogers，apparently never received a degree? In 1853，he moved to Boston，where he enlisted the support of the scientific community to create an institution for technical and scientific education.It was largely through his efforts that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was born in 1861. Today，the Institute has more than 900 faculty and 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students. It is organized into five Schools—Architecture and Planning，Engineering，Humanities，Arts and Social Sciences，Management and Science—and the Whitaker College of Health Sciences and Technology.

14. E2 Fifty-nine current or former members of the MIT community have won the Nobel Prize. The U.S. News & World Report ranks MIT—along with Stanford University and Duke University—at No.5 in its rating for America’s best universities for the year 2005.
