In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates(候选人)for a master’s or doctor’s degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools. The first types sometimes called an objective (客观性) test, it is intended to deal with facts., not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have mot learned the material properly. The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper. For testing a student’s memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages. It can find out a great deal about the student’s range of knowledge. For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory. A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material. 36. The passage is mainly about ________. A. examinations in the ancient times. B. modern examinations. C. how to do well in an examination. D. setting questions for an examination 37. The objective test is not very satisfactory because _______. A. it is easy and quick to score. B. the teacher can find out a great deal about the student’s range of knowledge in a short time. C. it shows how deeply the student has thought about the subject. D. it contains element of luck. 38. Which of the following statements about the objective test is true? A.Examinations in modern times are written, while in ancient times they are spoken. B.The objective test has advantages for testing a student’s memory of facts and details. C.The objective test is the only way to test a student’s memory of facts and details,. D.Each objective question has more than one correct answer. 39. The next paragraph will probably deal with ___________. A. the other type of examination B. the advantages of the objective test C. how students guess the correct answer without really knowing the material D. examinations in the ancient times (B) What is world English? World English is a course in the English language. It is intended for students whose native language is not English. It is a basic program consisting of six stages. Each stage includes a Student Book, a Teacher’s Book, a Workbook, and cassette recordings. World English is further supported by separate books of readings, by tests, and by visual(可视)aids. Who is world English for? World English may be entered at any one of three different levels. The First Level, Books One and Two, is intended for students with little or no education In English. Books Three and Four make up the Second Level; they are suitable for students who have some knowledge of English. The Third Level, Books Five and Six, is intended for students who are concerned with improvement in the language. What does world English teach? World English teaches four basic skills of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. At all levels, each skill is presented systematically. In the First Level, listening and speaking receive more attention. In the latter books, reading and writing become more important. However, reading and writing activities are presented even in Unit One of book One; and listening and speaking exercises occur through Unit One of Book One; and listening and speaking exercises occur though Unite Ten of Book Six. 40. This passage is probably taken from the _______ of an English text book. A. contents B. introduction C. First chapter D. index(索引) 41. Suppose you are a student of Senior Three, _______ will be suitable for you if you want to make your English better. A. Books One and Two B. Books Three and Four C.

A. ten B. thirty C. sixty D. more than sixty ( C ) One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people. The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口)。The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea---bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty -- meter high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man --- made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water. People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane. 43. What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea? A.The city was to be designed together with a harbor. B.The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass. C.The building of the city would rest on a floating island. D.The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall. 44. How would fresh water be supplied to the city? A.By treating sea water.

A.to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at sea B.to give a description of a new--- type city. C.to draw people’s attention to the problem of air pollution. D.to introduce a mew way of building harbor --- cities. (D) Taxes(税)are a big part in the United States. Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security(安全)taxes, sales taxes ﹒﹒﹒,and the list seems endless. The biggest tax for most Americans is that on the money they earn --- the income tax. The personal income tax is called a "progressive tax" because it takes more from those who earn more. For example, a person who earns about 3,500 dollars a tear will pay a tax of only about 3.5 % of earning, but of the same person earned 85, 000 dollars a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%. Over the years the income tax has become more and mote difficult for people to understand. Almost one half of all Americans now have to pay experts to prepare their tax reports in fact, preparing taxes and giving tax advice have become a big industry in America. 47.

C.Because they find their knowledge about taxes is so limited that they are unable to write tax report all by themselves. D.Because paying experts to prepare their tax report and asking for tax advice have become very popular. (E) More than 6000 children were expelled(开除) from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8. The department gave a report to the expulsions(开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996---97, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms. "The report is a clear sign that out nation’s public schools are cracking down(严惩) on students who bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement." We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe." In March1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.
