In the schools of ancient Greece a
22、nd 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 with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists
23、today as part of the process of testing candidates(考生) for the doctor s degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with
24、the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and stud
25、ents is expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an objective 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 teac
26、her writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.（分数：10.00）(1).In the middle Ages students_ .

29、 always be written D. is given only in factories（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Task 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)He lived in the 16th century. A few things, but not really that many, are known about his life. And yet around the world the comment is unanimous: he was the greatest writer who ever lived. His name was William
30、Shakespeare. Shakespeare was born in 1564 in a little town called Stratford-upon Avon. When he was in his twenties, he made his way to London. There he spent most of his working life. The theater was very popular at that time, and soon Shakespeare was writing plays. He belonged to an acting company
31、called the Lord Chamberlains Men and wrote plays for them. (He also acted in some of the plays.) In 1599 the company built the famous Globe Theater. There Shakespeare wrote and acted until he retired in about 1607. Shakespeare wrote three kinds of plays: comedies, tragedies, and histories. Many of t
32、he comedies involved mistaken identities, :women pretended to be men, and slapstick (滑稽剧) situations. One of his famous comedies is A Midsummer Nights Dream. Shakespeares tragedies were often about a noble and honorable man who had one fault that helped bring about his downfall. Hamlet is an example
33、. Shakespeares histories were usually about kings of England, such as Richard Ni or Henry V. What made Shakespeares work so great? It was not necessarily his stories. Many were retellings of stories the audience already knew. But the way he told the stories was often remarkable. He understood the wa
34、y people thought and acted, and he built this into his characters. Even though they were created 400 years ago, Shakespeares characters are believed today. Shakespeares use of language such as his beautiful descriptions and his clear, to-the-point statements-also made him great. Hundreds of famous E
35、nglish sayings come from his plays. One example: “To be or not to be, this is a question.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage is mainly about_ . A. the Globe Theater B. Theater in the 1500sC.

They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in colle
39、ge and often feel that there have been no accomplishments in their lives. In my first year of college especially, I saw people get themselves down all too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the
40、classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. Both students hang on until about mid term. When they disappeared for good, no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test. They are not the only people
41、in whom I have seen the self-doubt do its work. I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say: “You are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have brought yourself here to college. Be someone. Breathe. Hope. Act. “Such people should not use self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. Th
42、ey should pull themselves together and get to work. They should start taking notes in class and trying to learn.

46、m（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.七、Task 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)People born in autumn live longer than those born in spring and are less likely to fall chronically (慢性) ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census (人口统计) data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia,
47、 scientists at the Max Plank Institute for Demographic(人口统计的) Research found the month of birth was related to life expectancy over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy (孕期), and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the
48、health of a new born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. “A mother giving birth in spring spends the last stage of her pregnancy in winter, when she willeat less vitamins than in summer,“ said one of the scientists. “When she stops breast-feeding and starts giving her baby nor
49、mal food, its in the hot weeks of summer when babies have tendency to infections of the digestive system. ” In Austria, adults born in autumn lived about seven months longer than those born in springs; and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months.
