     For a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in
addition to objective tests. They use "essay" tests, which require students to write long answers to broad,
general questions such as the following: "Mention several ways in which Benjamin Franklin has influenced
thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world."
     One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high
score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more cares about the
student's ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. It should show how deeply he has thought
about the subject. Sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. Some students are able to write
rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually
know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form.
     Besides, in an essay test the student's score may depend upon the examiner's feelings at the time of
reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should.
Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective
test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score.
      Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective questions are
used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student's knowledge can usually
be gotten.
1. What may have been discussed in the previous (先前的) paragraphs?
A. The essay test.
B. How teachers test their students.
C. How students write their essays.
D. The objective test.
2. The essay test is preferred because _____.
A. it shows more about the student's understanding of the subject
B. it tests the student's knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideas
C. it gives each student a fairer chance
D. its scoring may be influenced by the examiner's feelings
3. The underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refers to the fact that _____.
A. students may receive a lower score in an essay test
B. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher mark
C. different examiners may give the same essay different scores
D. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance
4. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the objective test is NOT true?
A. It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.
B. It allows the students to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
C. It shows the student's ability to think bout difficult problems.
D. It is easy and quick to score.

nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

      For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can
tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).
     Strange though it may seem - "my wife already does that" was a common response among attendees
viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week - Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them "smart".
     Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
     The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.
     Samsung says it's not just something new - the app connection actually has some practical uses.
     "If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go," said
spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
     The company also says that with electricity rate (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more
control over when the machines are used can help save money.
     Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do -enable
laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on
their phones while watching TV.
1. What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?
A. The machine will be a big success.
B. their wives like doing the laundry.

A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing
B. They can be controlled with a smartphone
C. They are difficult to operate
D. They are sold at a low price
3. We can conclude form Samsung's statements that ___________.
A. the app connection makes life easier
B. it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C. smartphone can shorten the drying time
D. we should refresh clothes back at home
4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

     For a writer, there is hardly any greater honor than winning the Nobel Prize for literature.
     And for a woman writer, claiming the prize is even harder, for only eight women once won it. Austria's
Elfriede Jelinek is the ninth and the first since 1996.
     The Stockholm-based Swedish Academy announced last Thursday that Jelinek won this year's Nobel Prize
in literature. She is recognized for her socially critical (批判的) novels and plays.
     Jelinek, 57, made her literary debut (初次露面) in 1967. She has written plays, novels and poetry. She is
best known for her autobiographical 1983 novel"The Piano Teacher", made into a movie in 2001.
     The basic theme of her work is the inability of women to live as people beyond the roles and personalities
traditionally expected of them. Her characters struggle to lead lives not normally acceptable in society. "The
nature of Jelinek's texts is often hard to define. They shift between prose (散文) and poetry and songs, they
contain theatrical scenes and film script," said the academy.
     The Nobel Prize was founded by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Nobel died in 1896 and left his fortune
of about US $920 million to a fund to honor people who have helped other human beings. This year each prize
is worth US $13 million.
