In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually was made up of saying poetry aloud and 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 (应试者）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, looks like a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are 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 (一系列）of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question, the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.1.

In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52, was nearly toothless. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw―having extracted them from the mouths of his slaves. That’s a far different image from the cherry-tree-chopping George most people remember from their history books. But recently, many historians have begun to focus on the roles slavery played in the lives of the founding generation. They have been spurred in part by DNA evidence made available in 1998, which almost certainly proved Thomas Jefferson had fathered at least one child with his slave Sally Hemings. And only over the past 30 years have scholars examined history from the bottom up. Works of several historians reveal the moral compromises made by the nation’s early leaders and the fragile nature of the country’s infancy. More significantly, they argue that many of the Founding Fathers knew slavery was wrong―and yet most did little to fight it. More than anything, the historians say, the founders were hampered by the culture of their time. While Washington and Jefferson privately expressed distaste for slavery, they also understood that it was part of the political and economic bedrock of the country they helped to create. For one thing, the South could not afford to part with its slaves. Owning slaves was "like having a large bank account," says Wiencek, author of An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves, and the Creation of America. ’The southern states would not have signed the Constitution without protections for the "peculiar institution," including a clause that counted a slave as three fifths of a man for purposes of congressional representation. And the statesmen’s political lives depended on slavery. The three-fifths formula handed Jefferson his narrow victory in the presidential election of 1800 by inflating the votes of the southern states in the Electoral College. Once in office, Jefferson extended slavery with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803; the new land was carved into 13 states, including three slave states. Still, Jefferson freed Hemings’s children―though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.George Washington’s dental surgery is mentioned to A. show the primitive medical practice in the past.B. demonstrate the cruelty of slavery in his days.C. stress the role of slaves in the U.S. history.D. reveal some unknown aspect of his life.

Filmgoers should be told how many calories there are in the popcorn, ice cream and soft drinks that they buy in cinemas, according to the Food Standard Agency. Smaller popcorn buckets and drink cups should also be made 41 , the nutrition inspector said. Tim Smith, chief executive of the agency, told The Times that cinemas should help to deal with the country's overweight 42 . "There is a misbelief that popcorn is calorie-free, but that is not the case. It is a 43 to us," he said. "Portion sizes are also a big issue, and there seems to be increasingly big packs on sale." He spoke as a number of food chains such as Pret A Manger, Wimpey and The Real Greek 44 to put calorie counts on all their menus. A trial scheme(试行方案) with 21 food companies took place last summer, and 45 are that consumers altered their buying habits when they realized the number of calories in a product. A consultation(征询意见) on the trial ends next month but Mr. Smith is already planning the second drive for American-style calorie counts and is 46 to win support from cinemas and other entertainment places, from football grounds to concert halls. Government 47 suggest that two thirds of adults and a third of children are overweight. If trends are not 48 , this could rise to almost nine in ten adults and two thirds of children by 2050, putting them at 49 risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases. 1. 41 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 2. 42 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 3. 43 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 4. 44 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 5. 45 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 6. 46 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 7. 47 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 8. 48 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed 9. 49 A: maintained B: serious C: indications D: figures E: anxious F: concern G: crisis H: decided I: available J: reversed
