摘要：高考是中国最有影响力的教育考试，衔接着中等教育和高等教育。SAT考试是目前美国基础教育考试的代表，几乎申请所有的美国大学都需要参加SAT考试，其功能与我国的高考非常相似，已成为美国实际意义上的“高考”。

　　本文将以美国SATⅡ物理和我国高考物理试卷为研究对象，宏观上比较研究两类考试的考试要求、考试范围及题型结构；微观上比较研究二者的试题内容、情境设置及其体现的认知能力层次。从而比较两种考试的广度、难度和学科能力的要求，从中得到对物理教学和高考改革有益的启示。

Abstract: The College Entrance Examination(CEE) is the most influential education exam in China and it is connected to the secondary education and advanced education. SAT is a typical exam of basic education in the USA. Almost apply for all U.S. universities need to take the SAT. Its function is very similar to China's CEE, so SAT has actually been "CEE" in America.

　　　This article carries out study on comparative analysis of China's CEE and SATⅡ Physics. From a rather macroscopic perspective, the comparative study focuses on the aspects of the examination requirements, scopes and questions structure. Then from a rather microscopic perspective, the comparative study focuses on three aspects: content, set scene and cognition ability. By contrasting to the breadth, the difficulty and the subject competence test of the two papers, we can derive useful lessons for physics teaching and the CEE reform.
