26、 I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her. The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines“.

28、. All I m trying to do is help. Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed abou

29、t both the situation in Angola and the British government s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.

In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In th

37、e European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctors degree. Generally

38、, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of ca

39、ndidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an “objective

40、“ 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 correct answers

41、to students who have not learned the material properly.46 In the Middle Ages students_.（A）took objective tests（B） specialized in one subject（C） were timed by electric clocks（D）never wrote exams47 The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that_.（A）workers now take examination（B） the population has grown（C） the

43、ake tests50 It may be concluded that testing_.（A）should test only opinions（B） should always be written（C） has changed since the Middle Ages（D）is given only in factories50 He was a qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wife

44、, and literature is my lover. “ Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story. When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879 , he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he gr

45、aduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper. As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhovs medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full-time

46、 writer and published some of his most memorable stories. Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair. It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhovs stories and plays. He made

47、 up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhovs work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity (敏感) of an artist. Some of Chekhovs works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Ma

48、n in a Shell (装在套子里的人) , about a school teachers extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.51 Anton Pavlovich Chekhov _.（A）had a lawful lover（B） was an illegal writer（C） used to be a lawyer（D）was a competent doctor52 In 1880, Chekhov_.（A）became a full-time writ
