In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. 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 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 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 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 students are expected to act as 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.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. How did students in Middle Ages take a test?
31. What might be the reason for the application of written examination?
32. What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、They read poetry aloud.
B、They delivered a speech.
C、They took objective tests.
D、They discussed questions with experts in a particular field.
答案
D
解析
古希腊、罗马学校的学生考试包括saying poetry aloud or giving speeches,而中世纪欧洲大学生要discuss questions…with people who had made a special study of the subject,故答案为[D]。objective test意为“客观考试”。
