18、nations 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
19、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 question, was probably not kno
20、wn 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
21、 automobile factory. Generally, 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 of questions, e
22、ach of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly. 51. In the Middle Ages students_________. A.took objective tests B.speciali
23、zed in one subject C.were timed by electric clocks D.never wrote exams 52. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that_________. A.workers now take examination B.the population has grown C.there are only written exams D.examinations are now written and timed 53. The kind of exams where
24、students must select answers are_________. A.personal B.spoken C.objective D.written 54. Modern industry must have developed_________. A.before the Middle Ages B.around the 19th century C.in Greece or Rome D.machines to take tests 55. It may be concluded that testing______
25、 A.should test only opinions B.should always be written C.has changed since the Middle Ages D.is given only in factories Task 2 Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in Engla
26、nd. "One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are a
27、ll performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor
28、 they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one. There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for
29、 economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have. 56.According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to______
30、 A. take advantage of the physical labor B. introduce the division of labor into England C. understand the effects of the division of labor D. explain the bad causes of the division of labor 57.Adam Smith saw that the division of labor__________ A. enabled each worker to design pins
31、more quickly B. increased the possible output per worker C. increased the number of people employed in factories D. improved the quality of pins produced 58.Adam Smith mentioned the number 4800 in order to__________ A. show the advantages of the old labor system B. stress how powerful th
32、e individual worker was C. show the advantages of the division of labor D. stress the importance of increased production 59.According to the writer, Adam Smith's mistake was in believing that the division of labor__________ A. was an efficient way of organizing work B. was an importa
33、nt development in methods of production C. finally led to economic development D. increased the production of existing goods 60.According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT true? A. Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins. B. Division of labor helps pe
34、ople to produce more of what they already have. C. Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth. D. Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Task 3 A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for American
35、s, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization. The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems, but in general people are not essentially concerned with issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxe
36、s and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools. The survey found that enthusiasms for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups,
37、all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those toward the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that “some kind of gap has been crossed: computers are part of everyday life for m
38、ost Americans, and the Internet is close behind.” 61.The first paragraph shows that A. the new poll about computers and the Internet is helpful B. people should explore the dangers of computerization C. people can not do without computers and the Internet D. computer
