Below are essay prompts from the most recent SAT administration in June 2011.

　　Prompt 1

　　Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

　　People assume that every accomplishmenteach step in what we call progresswill lead to the solution to a problem and will help them reach the goal of understanding themselves and the world around them. In reality, however, each new answer provokes additional questions and each fresh discovery uncovers further complications. Every accomplishment leads to further problems, added responsibilities, more complications, and new challenges.

　　人们认为，每项成就也就是我们所说的每一个进步都会将人们引向问题的最终解决，并帮助人们更了解自己和周边的世界。但在现实中，每一个新答案的产生，都会引发新的问题，每一个新的发现，都会露出更深层、更复杂的状况。每个成就都通向更深层的问题、更重的责任、更复杂的状况，以及全新的挑战。

　　Assignment: Does every achievement bring with it new challenges? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

　　是否每份成就都会带来新的挑战?

　　Prompt 2

　　Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

　　Loyalty is a virtue that is encouraged and rewarded in every aspect of our lives. We are, therefore, loyal to our families, our teams, our schools, and our countries. But too often loyalty is blind: by automatically identifying ourselves with a group and accepting its values as our own, we avoid taking responsibility for our own thoughts and actions.

　　无论生活中哪个层面，忠诚都是人们鼓励和赞赏的一项美德。但很多时候，忠诚是盲目的：借着不自觉地与一个群体认同，将其价值观当作自己的价值观，我们就不必对自己的思想和行为负责了。

　　Assignment: Does accepting the values of a group allow people to avoid taking responsibility for their own thoughts and actions? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

　　接受群体的价值观是否容易使人们避免为自己的思考和行为负责?

　　Prompt 3

　　Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

　　A requirement for membership in any group is conformity. Members must agree on such vital issues as how decisions will be made, who will serve as leaders, and how much freedom group members will have. The quality of decision making, however, is better when groups encourage nonconformity and disagreement among their members. Although it sometimes creates disorder and conflict, disagreement may prevent powerful majorities from making mistakes.www.liuxue.la

　　无论哪个群组都会要求其成员保持一致性。组员必须在诸如决策如何制定、谁担任领袖、组员可以享受多少自由这样的关键问题上保持一致。然而，当群组鼓励组员之间的不一致和不同意见时，决策制定的质量反而会更高。尽管有时候这样会带来一些混乱和冲突，但不同意见的存在，能避免强势群体犯错。

　　Assignment: Do groups that encourage nonconformity and disagreement function better than those that discourage it? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

　　鼓励与众不同和不同意见的群体是否比那些不鼓励这种思维的群体更容易发挥作用?
