Under the background of the new curriculum standard and the new college entrance examination reform, the consistency between the two has become one of the core issues of English educators. “SEC” consistency analysis mode is used to construct a consistency analysis framework. The consistency of the new curriculum standard and the new college entrance examination paper I from 2020 to 2022 is analyzed from the dimensions of overall consistency, cognitive level and content theme. The results show that, the consistency between the two is high on the whole; The three sets of test papers have the same focus on the cognitive level, but the scope is not comprehensive and the proportion is unbalanced; The focus of the three sets of test papers in the content theme is the same, but the proportion is unbalanced. Therefore, it is suggested that the English reading proposition of the college entrance examination should be based on the curriculum standard and balance the proportions of both cognitive level and content theme; English teachers in senior high school should study the curriculum standard, and the reading questions of the college entrance examination, to clarify the cognitive level and content theme requirements, then adjust the direction of reading teaching.
