An examination reflects how well you have understood the material of a particular course. This is the obvious purpose of exams. There are many other advantages of examination.
People use an exam as an incentive to study regularly and as a reason to review. Most students admit that they study harder when an exam has been announced. They should, of course, be reviewing the material, not learning it for the first time.
We also can use the results of an exam as a measure of how much students understand and where they need extra effort. This means that students have to look over their exam when it is returned, analyze their mistakes, and check with the teacher or text. Don’t look at only the grade, jump with joy or groan with despair, then throw the paper away.
Teachers use the results of an exam to help them determine students’ final grades. They may have some idea of how much they think students have learned, but to be as fair as possible, they test their belief by testing students. If you have regularly done satisfactory work in class, you should do the same on exams. If you have done poor work, you have the chance to prove that you can do better.
Students can prepare much better for exams if they recognize the exam’s positive value. Also, until some other way of judging a student’s progress has been found, exams will be an unavoidable part of the educational system.

We have known the advantages of examinations. However, examinations also have many disadvantages. Many people think that an examination is the only means to measure knowledge, but, in fact, that is not true. A few questions given in an examination could by no means cover the whole field or scope of the subject. Thus, those who are able to answer them may be the poorest of the students and yet happen to know just a few points about that subject. And so they are entitled to be called successful students.
Because of the existence of examinations, students pay so much attention to gain high marks that they often forget the chief purpose of education. The so-called clever students devote themselves to the study of textbooks only. They, of course, know nothing but the skeleton of knowledge. The end of education, however, is to enable students to learn how to live. To do this, the student must avail themselves of all kinds of training, physical as well as mental. The examination system has discouraged students from making such an attempt.
Moreover, since students try so hard to commit their lessons to memory in as short a time as possible, psychologically, they soon forget the whole subject as soon as the examination is over. Surely this is one of the greatest wastes ever made in the history of civilization.
The worst of all, in order to get high marks, there is a great temptation for students to cheat in examinations. They cheat their teachers, their parents and also themselves. Such a tendency would impair our moral standards.
Question:
Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard. Explain the distinction between the points in the lecture and the points in the reading passage.

答案
The reading and listening materials are concerned about the advantages and disadvantages of examinations. In the reading passage, the author sums up several strong points. Firstly, people use an exam as an incentive to study regularly and as a reason to review. Secondly, the results of an exam are always regarded as a measure of how much students understand and where they need to put extra effort. Thirdly, teachers use the results of an exam to determine students’ final grades. Finally, students can prepare much better for exams if they recognize the exam’s positive value.
However, just as a coin has two sides, the lecture points out many weak points of examinations. For example, examinations are hardly objective, because a few questions given in an examination could by no means cover the whole field or scope of the subject. The examination system has discouraged students from making attempts to apply what they have learned to real life situations. In order to get high marks, they devote themselves to studying text books only. Moreover, since students try so hard to commit their lessons to memory in as short a time as possible, psychologically, they soon forget the whole subject as soon as the examination ends. Worst of all, some students cheat in examinations for high marks.
