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 not 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.24. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A. Objective tests. B．Spoken examinations.C．Written examinations. D．Modern examinations25. The objective test is not very satisfactory because _______.A. it is easy and quick to score.B. students can get the correct answers by guessing.C. it shows the student's range of knowledge in a short time.D. it shows how deeply the student has thought about the subject.26. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A．Examinations in modern times are saying poetry aloud or giving speechesB．In the European universities of the middle Ages, examinations were writtenC．Examinations for a master's or doctor's degree are partly spokenD．Each objective question has more than one correct answer.27. The next paragraph will probably deal with ___________.A. the other types of examinationsB. the advantages of the objective testC. how students guess the correct answerD. examinations in the ancient timesCMiddle EnglishMiddle English is the name given to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the development of this new type of English. The most important contribution was from the Normans, a French-speaking people who defeated England and took control of the country in 1066. However, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English replacing Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the entire 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English as the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn how the words for animals and meat developed. After the Norman Conquest, many English people worked as servants who raised animals. Therefore, the words we use for most animals raised for food, such as cow, sheep and pig, came from Old English. However, the words for the meat of these animals, which was served to the Normans, came from Old French: beef, mutton, pork and bacon.Old French made other contributions to Middle English as well. In Old English, the Germanic way of making words plural was used. For example, they said housen instead of houses, and shoen instead of shoes. After the Normans took control, they began using the French way of making plurals, adding an -s to house and shoe. Only a few words kept their Germanic plural forms, such as man/men and child/children. After the Norman Conquest, high-class people spoke French while common people spoke English. However, by the latter half of the 14th century, English had come into widespread use among all classes in England. In 1399, Henry IV became King of England. His mother tongue was English, and he used English for all official events.28. What made Old English replace Celtic? _______A. The Norman ConquestB. Celtic`s disappearanceC. French-speaking people defeating EnglandD. the Angles and Saxons` victory29. Who made the greatest contribution to the development from old English to Middle English?A. The Angles and Saxons.B. Servants raising animalsC. A French-speaking people.D. The king Henry IV30. The following are contributions to the development from old English to the Middle English EXCEPT_____.A. Words such as houses and shoes came into English.B. English made plurals in French ways.C. Words, such as cow, beef and children were used English.D. The king Henry IV`s mother tongue was English.31. According to time order, which group of the following words show the development of MiddleEnglish correctly? __________A. Celtic, 600 years and the Norman ConquestB. 600 years, 1066 and French pluralsC. the year 1066, 250 and Henry IVD. Henry IV, mutton and Saxon’s victoryD1. My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment.2. She ran a small shop at a flea market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed and wondered how could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, "your mom only has one eye?!" and laughed at me.3. I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world. So I said to my mom, "Why don't you have the other eye?! If you're only going to make me a laughingstock!" My mum did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, I felt so good to have said what I wanted to say. Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.4. For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty. I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard. Later I got accepted by the Seoul University, I left my mother and came to Seoul to study. Then I got married there. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom and my past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door. It was my mom! Andstill with her one eye! It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.I screamed at her, "Who are you? I don't know you! How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!" To this, my mom quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. Lying to my wife that I was going on a business trip, I went back to participate in the reunion. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, which I used to call a house, just for no reason. There I found my mom lying on the cold ground. I did not shed a single tear.Then a piece of paper in her hand came into my eyes. It was a letter to me.My son,I think my life has been long enough now, and I won't visit Seoul anymore. But would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come to visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school…for you. I'm so sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. As a mom, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. During the couple of times that you were angry with me, I thought to myself, it's because he loves me.My son…oh, my son…Don't cry for me because of my death. I love you so much.32.
