24、made in every field of study. But the way to test a students knowledge and ability still remains as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system. It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a students memory, but it can
25、tell you nothing about a students ability. It does no good to students and teachers. As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of examinations that will decide his future job. In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself. But it now does nothing about that.
26、 Students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It does not enable them to gain more new knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies. Besides, the examinations often force teachers to train students what to do with the coming examinat
27、ion from time to time. There must be some simpler and better way to test a students ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once. 51 The most suitable title of this passage is_. （ A） Progress in the Field of Study （ B） Teachers Role in Study （ C） How to Improve Students Ability （
28、 D） Bad Points of the Examination System 52 The examination system we are now using can only make the students_. （ A） gain more and more knowledge （ B） make rapid progress （ C） remember what is taught （ D） think for themselves 53 The passage tells us about the importance of_. （ A） getting examinatio
29、n system improved （ B） taking examinations （ C） testing a students knowledge （ D） working hard at all lessons 53 People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctors office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ag
30、o, a doctors treatment depended on talking with patients. In general, the communication between doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modern age of medicine began with the stethoscope, an instrument for listening to patients heartbeat and breathing. Before th
31、at, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such thing as a medical examination. The stethoscope with all other medical instruments has a serious effect on the practice of medicine. Doctors become better at finding the medical problems. More lives are saved. At the same time, doctors
32、 give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stop talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought themselves as broken machines. 54 A stethoscope can be used to_. （ A） check health conditions （ B） cure some illnesses
33、（ C） measure temperatures （ D） treat heart disease 55 Doctors give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors mainly because _. （ A） modern medical instruments are used （ B） they can cure more diseases and save more lives （ C） they have much more medical experience than before
34、 （ D） they are too busy to have time to talk with patients 56 Some sick people think of themselves as broken machines, which suggested that_. （ A） modern doctors should treat their patients as machines （ B） the level of the treatment was greatly improved （ C） they thought they were useless just like
35、 broken machines （ D） they were not satisfied with the manner in which doctors treated them 56 Although the women s rights movement in the United States is thought of as a recent development, its beginnings date back over one hundred and seventy years. At that time women were dependents in the eyes
36、of the law, and they did not have the rights of adults. A woman had no property rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband, the “head of the family“. The first publi
37、c protests(请愿 )against the low position of women were made in the 1830 s. In 1848 the leaders of this movement(some of whom were for antislavery(反对奴隶制 )activities as well)assembled the first Womens Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle as well as in the long, hard fight for women s
38、 vote, those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted(侮辱 ). They were said to be immoral(违反伦理的 ), and their ideas were considered dangerous to society. Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution
39、 granted them the right to vote throughout the United States. By the time many women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and government positions. In spite of all this prog
40、ress, “career women“ were largely restricted(受限制 )to teaching, nursing, and office work. The Women s Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s,has focused on economic rights such as “equal pay for equal work“. In addition some groups have stressed psychological and social equality. The m
41、ain purpose of Women s Liberation to free women from the restricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person was allowed to develop his or her abilities
42、and use them to the full. Women s Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence, “all men are created equal“ really means “all human beings are created equal“. 57 We know from this passage that _over one hundred seventy years ago. （ A） no women worked outsid
43、e their homes （ B） women were considered as children by the law （ C） women cared nothing about how their family lives were （ D） women were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children 58 The underlined word “assemble in the second paragraph probably means_. （ A） to bring a
44、 group of people together in one place for a particular purpose （ B） to make a public or official statement, especially about a plan, decision （ C） to produce many copies of a book, magazine, or newspaper （ D） not to take part in an event or not to buv or use something as a protest 59 Which of the f
45、ollowing statements is incorrect according to the passage? （ A） Women did not have the right to vote before 1900. （ B） Women had the right to vote throughout the country in 1920. （ C） A little number of women held high academic and government positions in 1920. （ D） Career women were largely restric
46、ted to some areas. 60 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） In the 1920s, women were limited to being teachers, nurses or office workers. （ B） Women mainly paid their attention to how they were paid in the 1960s. （ C） Women asked to change “all men are created equal“ into “all human beings are create
47、d equal“ . （ D） No states have ever provided women with jobs in the government. 补全文章 60 Americans use many expressions with the word “dog“. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.【 B1】 _ However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The express
48、ion, to lead a dog s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.【 B2】 _ They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog, This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situati
49、on would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 【 B3】 _This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the
