Many Going to College Are Not Ready
Only about half of this year’s high school graduates have the reading skills they need to succeed in college, and even fewer are prepared for college-level science and math courses, according to a yearly report from ACT, which produces one of the nation’s leading college admissions tests.
The report, based on scores of the 2005 high school graduates who took the exam, some 1.2 million students in all, also found that fewer than one in four met the college-readiness benchmarks （基準(zhǔn)）in all four subjects tested: reading comprehension, English, math and science.
ACT sets its college-readiness benchmarks — including the reading comprehension benchmark, which is new this year—by correlating（聯(lián)系）earlier students’ ACT scores with grades they actually received as college freshmen. Based on that data, the benchmarks indicate the skill level at which a student has a 70 percent likelihood（可能性）of earning a C or better, and a 50 percent chance of earning a B or better.
Among those who took the 2005 test, only 51 percent achieved the benchmark in reading, 26 percent in science, and 41 percent in math; the figure for English was 68 percent. Results from the new optional ACT writing test, which was not widely taken this year, were not included in the report.
About 40 percent of the nation’s 2005 high school graduates took the ACT, and the average overall score was unchanged from the year before. Minority students make up 27 percent of all ACT test takers. Besides, there are also other worrying trends in the ACT report as well, including a continuing decline in the percentage of students planning to major in engineering, computer science and education.
50. The report from ACT mainly tells readers the problem that ______.
A. few minority students graduates took ACT
B. many who intend to go to college are not ready
C. the college-readiness benchmarks is high this year
D. the tests for some subjects are too difficult
51. According to the benchmarks in 2005, about how many students will not earn C?
A. 30 percent. B. 70 percent. C. 50 percent. D. 26 percent.
52. Which of the following pictures can correctly show the numbers of the students who achieve the benchmark in different subjects?
A. 
B.
C.
D.
53. Which of the followings can be found in the report from ACT in 2005?
A. The report about the writing test is very objective.
B. More boy students are not good at science and math.
C. The percentage of students majoring science declined.
D. The average score of 2005 ACT participants changed greatly.

One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 21 bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill ? ” Hands were 22 . Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple（弄皺）the 23 . He then asked the audience, “ 24 still wants it ?” Still the hands went 25 in the air.
“ What 26 I do this? ” He asked, and he 27 it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 28 it up. Now the bill was 29 and crumpled. “ Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.
“My friends,” He continued, “You have all 30 a good lesson . No matter 31 I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its 32 . It was still worth $20. Many times in our 33 , we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 34 wrong decisions, or we may 35 with something we do not 36 .When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 37 . But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life comes not 38 what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not depend on its outside 39 , but on its inner value.’ This is the 40 of life.
