Question

完形填空

　　In ancient times, the most important exams were spoken, not written. In the 1 of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually 2 saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.

　　In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were 3 for advanced degrees had to 4 questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This 5 exists today as part of the process of 6 candidates (應(yīng)試者) for the doctor's degree.

　　Generally, 7 , modern exams are written. The written exam, 8 all students are tested on the same questions, was probably 9 until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into 10 with the great 11 in population and the great development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state exam, 12 exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, is similar to a group of 13 at an automobile factory. Certainly, during exams teachers and students are 14 to act like machines.

　　One type of test is sometimes 15 an “objective test”. It is intended to deal with facts, not 16 opinions. To 17 an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has 18 one correct answer. Along with each question, the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that 19 answers to students who have not learned the material 20 .

解析：

1．B 　　導(dǎo)解：考試當(dāng)然應(yīng)該是在“學(xué)�！倍�不是在“政府”、“家庭”、“辦公室”進(jìn)行的，這一點(diǎn)從常識及上下文均可得到證實(shí)． 　　2．D 　　導(dǎo)解：本句說古代考試所包含的內(nèi)容，因此選D．“包含，包括”． 　　3．A 　　導(dǎo)解：work for表示“為……工作，攻讀”，ask for表示“索取、要”，C．“尋找”；D．“等待”均不合句意． 　　4．D 　　導(dǎo)解：本小題選項(xiàng)常�？梢詷�(gòu)成discuss something with sb.短語，表示“與某人討論某事”． 　　5．C 　　導(dǎo)解：custom的意思是“風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣”，此處指中世紀(jì)大學(xué)的這種考試方法或習(xí)慣做法． 　　6．C 　　導(dǎo)解：既然是“應(yīng)試者”，當(dāng)然此空用test表示“測試/考某人”． 　　7．B 　　導(dǎo)解：上文說以前是口試，下文說現(xiàn)在是筆試，因此用however在此表示語義的轉(zhuǎn)折，如果用but則應(yīng)放于句首而且不用逗號． 　　8．A 　　導(dǎo)解：where引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句并在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語． 　　9．B 　　導(dǎo)解：not…until…表示“直到……才……”，本句意思是書面考試直到十九世紀(jì)才為人們所知． 　　10．A 　　導(dǎo)解：come into being/existence/use表示“出現(xiàn)、存在”． 　　11．D 　　導(dǎo)解：四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思：A．進(jìn)步；B．發(fā)展；C．下降；D．增長．根據(jù)常識及下文所講的“房里滿是應(yīng)試者”等提示可知選D． 　　12．A 　　導(dǎo)解：指考試由電子鐘控制時(shí)間，此處time用作動(dòng)詞表示“計(jì)時(shí)”． 　　13．C 　　導(dǎo)解：上下文把考生比作汽車制造廠的工人，考生與監(jiān)考人員機(jī)械運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)(act like machines)． 　　14．B 　　導(dǎo)解：上文描述的動(dòng)作與人們愿不愿意這么做無關(guān)，而是人們想當(dāng)然、預(yù)料之中的． 　　15．D 　　導(dǎo)解：其中一種類型被人們稱為“客觀測試”． 　　16．C 　　導(dǎo)解：既然是客觀測試，當(dāng)然與facts(事實(shí))有關(guān)，與個(gè)人主觀臆念無關(guān)． 　　17．D 　　導(dǎo)解：四個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語的主要意思：A．查明，確信；B．理解，領(lǐng)悟，看出；C．使用，利用；D．彌補(bǔ)，補(bǔ)充；起草，編輯．根據(jù)句意選D，制作一份測試卷． 　　18．C 　　導(dǎo)解：每一小題幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)，只有一個(gè)是正確的(比如你現(xiàn)在做的這本測試卷)． 　　19．B 　　導(dǎo)解：如果對四個(gè)選項(xiàng)沒有把握，那么這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)看上去都一樣，難以判斷． 　　20．A 　　導(dǎo)解：假如你對該項(xiàng)知識掌握得不夠好．
