第三部分:閱讀理解
  (A)
  In ancient(古代) time 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 of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates(候選人)for a master's or doctor's degree.
  Generally, however, modern examinations are written. Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools. The first types sometimes called an objective (客觀性) 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. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have mot learned the material properly.
  The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper.
  For testing a student's memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages. It can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge.
  For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory. A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
  36. The passage is mainly about ________.
  A. examinations in the ancient times. B.modern examinations.
 �。茫甴ow to do well in an examination. D.setting questions for an examination
  37. The objective test is not very satisfactory because _______.

  D. it contains element of luck.
  38. Which of the following statements about the objective test is true?
 �。粒瓻xaminations in modern times are written, while in ancient times they are spoken.
  B.The objective test has advantages for testing a student's memory of facts and details.
 �。茫甌he objective test is the only way to test a student's memory of facts and details,.
 �。模瓻ach objective question has more than one correct answer.
  39. The next paragraph will probably deal with ___________.
  A. the other type of examination B. the advantages of the objective test

  One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.
  The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口)。The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea---bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty----metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man --- made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.
  People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.

  A.The city was to be designed together with a harbor.
  B.The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.

  A.there is not enough space for building cites on land
 �。拢甽and transportation has became increasingly difficult
  C.there are too many people on land
 �。模畃resent cities are heavily polluted by cars
  46. the purpose of the writer is-_______.

  Taxes(稅)are a big part in the United States. Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security(安全)taxes, sales taxes ﹒﹒﹒,and the list seems endless.
  The biggest tax for most Americans is that on the money they earn --- the income tax. The personal income tax is called a "progressive tax" because it takes more from those who earn more. For example, a person who earns about 3,500 dollars a tear will pay a tax of only about 3.5 % of earning, but of the same person earned 85, 000 dollars a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%.

 �。粒瓸ecause the list of taxes seems endless.
 �。拢� Because they would rather spend their time and energy elsewhere.
 �。茫� Because they find their knowledge about taxes is so limited that they are unable to write tax
   report all by themselves.

  Dear Mr Smith,
  Recently Mr friend Maria Stalcy, who was once your student, told me that your school needed a Chinese teacher. I was very glad at the news for I feel like teaching students Chinese in the United States.
  I was born in Chengdu, China on November 20, 1969. I studied English in Sichuan University from 1987 to 1991. After graduation I came to U.s. in 1991 and began to study in New York University in the same year. I took education as my major and in 1993 I got my Master's degree. After that I began to work in high school. From 1995 to 1997 I teach in Central High School in New York. Since 1997 I have teaching in Lincoln High School in Washington. I am an experienced teacher and I am healthy.
  I hope to hear from you soon.
