题目内容
In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the school of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually included reading poems aloud or giving 1 .Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are 2 on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it appeared with the great 3 in population and the development of modern 4 . A room full of candidates (投考者) for a state examination, 5 exactly by electric clocks and carefully 6 over by 7 , resembles (类似于) a group of workers at a car factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like 8 .
Two types of tests are commonly used in 9 schools. The first type is called an“objective test”. It is intended to deal with 10 , not personal 11. On objective tests the student has just one 12: he must 13 the correct answer and 14 its letter (or number) on his examination paper. Sometimes there is an answer sheet on which the four letters are 15 . Then the student has only to circle the one that 16 with the correct answer.
For 17 some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very 18 . A lucky student may 19 the correct answer without really 20 the material.
So most teacher use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests.
