Choose the best answer to each of the question and tick it off on the ANSWER SHEETPassage oneIn ancient times the

26、 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 fie

27、ld 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 doctors degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was prob

28、ably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the developmentof 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 wo

29、rkers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to actlike 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 question

30、s, 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 correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.61.

What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating

34、the market.In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get informat

35、ion about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting (報(bào)價(jià)), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. T

36、he commercial counselors offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.Certainly, face-to-face talks wi

37、th foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities.

42、ational Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the

43、day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57

44、 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked , I have failed again. On the

45、train back to Washington, he said sadly, That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed.Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It wa

46、s a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.Today, every American school child learns Lincolns Gettysburg Address by heart.

50、peech ever delivered in the United States.Passage four Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins

51、even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however ,they broke

52、 the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told tha

53、t at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on whats best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of body wisdom,which humans soon lose. Most of us do not ea

54、t as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds ,while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.76.

55、In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats drinking water to_.A. encourage rats to drink vitamin-enriched waterB. find out rats preference in flavor C. test whether rats know which drink is good for them D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless 77.

57、ot resist the temptation of various delicious foodsC. adults eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customsD. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns 79. The author implied in the passage that most of us_. A. eat a balanced dietB. choose the food that is of nutritionC. have the habits
