《9项SAT改革2016年实施 增加机考作文改为选考》新闻由北京考试报03月15日报道，留学群liuxuequn.com转载。
北京考试报讯(出国留学 wwww.liuxuequn.com) 3月5日，美国大学委员会(出国留学 wwww.liuxuequn.com)宣布了将于2016年实施的SAT考试改革细则，包括总分改制为1600分、增加机考形式、答错不扣分、作文改为选考等9项具体措施。
此次改革重点集中在考试内容和形式调整。北京新东方学校SAT考试项目负责人李楠楠介绍，内容方面，强调考生答案中“有据可寻”，如调整后的内容中，阅读选材增加重要经典文献的考查；作文部分，以阅读材料的方式考查考生利用证据、解读证据的能力；词汇部分减少生僻、晦涩的词汇出现频率，注重实用性词汇的考查；数学部分，在缩小考试范围的基础上，加大问题的深度与难度。形式方面，SAT考试将由现阶段的2400分总分回归原始的1600分制，并与现存的纸质考试同步推行机考。
李楠楠认为，改革后的考试更科学、实用，但进一步挑战考生的综合学习能力和应变能力，对考生的英语基础和实力要求更高。死记硬背与机械性复习不再适用于新考试。
SAT全称为Scholastic Assessment Test，中文名称为学术能力评估测试，通常作为各国高中生申请美国名校学习及奖学金的重要参考。
附：SAT考试9项变化
1.考生要在答案中使用证据。
在过去的考试中，考生会从多个选项中选择答案来支持自己对文本的理解。新考试中，考生将被要求使用证据或者引用特定的段落来支持自己的答案。
2.词汇更加实用。
新考试会关注考生在大学和工作时可能遇到的单词。
3.数学部分会包括更少的数学科目。
新考试的数学部分会关注更少的科目，但考生要了解得更深。
4.计算器会在数学考试的某些部分被取消。
新考试没有计算器的测试部分，是设计以评估考生对数学概念的理解的，而不是评估计算能力。
5.建国纲领相关文章和演讲稿会被加入。
新考试中可能会包括一篇来自独立宣言、葛底斯堡演讲或者马丁·路德·金的《我有一个梦想》。
6.考生不会因为答错被扣分。
考生以前会因为错答而被扣掉部分分数，不答题却不扣分。新评分规则不会因为考生答错题而扣分。
7.考生可以选择是否写作文。
SAT作文以前要求必须写，改革后是可选的。
8.总分变少。
旧考试的总分是2400分，新考试为1600分。
9.数字化考试将实施。
新考试既可以是纸笔考试，也可以是计算机考试。

以下是gre考生参加2011年12月北美新gre机考作文的题目，并且附注了他所参加考试的考点信息，希望对其他新g考生有所帮助。
考试时间：2011年12月29日
考试地点：北美西雅图
issue：
Claim: The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists.
Reason: The surest indicator of a great nation is actually the welfare of all its people.
argument：
collectors prize the ancient life-size clay statues of human figures made on Kali Island but have long wondered how the Kalinese artists were able to depict bodies with such realistic precision. Since archeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali, we can now conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques, to create these statues. This discovery explains why Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style: molds could only be used for life-size sculptures. It also explains why few ancient Kalinese sculpting tools have been found. In light of this development, collectors should expect the life-size sculptures to decrease in value and the miniatures to increase in value.

Issue：
Scientists and other researchers should focus their research on areas that are likely to benefit the greatest number of people.
Argument：
Humans arrived in the Kaliko Islands about 7,000 years ago, and within 3,000 years most of the large mammal species that had lived in the forests of the Kaliko Islands had become extinct. Yet humans cannot have been a factor in the species' extinctions, because there is no evidence that the humans had any significant contact with the mammals. Further, archaeologists have discovered numerous sites where the bones of fish had been discarded, but they found no such areas containing the bones of large mammals, so the humans cannot have hunted the mammals. Therefore, some climate change or other environmental factor must have caused the species' extinctions.

ISSUE：
Colleges and universities should require their students to spend at least one semester studying in a foreigncountry.
ARGUMENT：
Several recent surveys indicate that home owners are increasingly eager to conserve energy. At the same time, manufacturers are now marketing many home appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, that are almost twice as energy efficient as those sold a decade ago. Also, new technologies for better home insulation and passive solar heating are readily available to reduce the energy needed for home heating. Therefore, the total demand for electricity in our area will not increase—and may decline slightly. Since our three electric generating plants in operation for the past twenty years have always met our needs, construction of new generating plants will not be necessary."

It is no longer possible for a society to regard any living man or woman as a hero.
ARGUMENT:
Salicylates are members of the same chemical family as aspirin, a medicine used to treat headaches. Although many foods are naturally rich in salicylates, for the past several decades, food-processing companies have also been adding salicylates to foods as preservatives. This rise in the commercial use of salicylates has been found to correlate with a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported by participants in our twenty-year study. Recently, food-processing companies have found that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods. With this new use for salicylates, we can expect a continued steady decline in the number of headaches suffered by the average citizen of Mentia

issue：
The main benefit of the study of history is to dispel the illusion that people living now are significantly different from people who lived in earlier times.

Issue：
Government officials should rely on their own judgment rather than unquestioningly carry out the will of the people they serve.
Argument:
The following appeared in a memo to the board of directors of a company that specializes in the delivery of heating oil.
"Most homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last heating season, that region experienced 90 days with below-normal temperatures, and climate forecasters predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes are being built in the region in response to recent population growth. Because of these trends, we can safely predict that this region will experience an increased demand for heating oil during the next five years

issue：
The surest indicator of a great nation is represented not by the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but by the general welfare of its people.
argument：
The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a food distribution company with food storage warehouses in several cities.
"Recently, we signed a contract with the Fly-Away Pest Control Company to provide pest control services at our fast-food warehouse in Palm City, but last month we discovered that over $20,000 worth of food there had been destroyed by pest damage. Meanwhile, the Buzzoff Pest Control Company, which we have used for many years, continued to service our warehouse in Wintervale, and last month only $10,000 worth of the food stored there had been destroyed by pest damage. Even though the price charged by Fly-Away is considerably lower, our best means of saving money is to return to Buzzoff for all our pest control services."
