But the way to test a students knowledge and ability still remains as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system. It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a students memory, but it can tell you nothing about a students ability. It does no good to students and teachers. As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of examinations that will decide his future job. In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself. But it now does nothing about that. Students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It does not enable them to gain more new knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies. Besides, the examinations often force teachers to train students what to do with the coming examination from time to time. There must be some simpler and better way to test a students ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.21、 The most suitable title of this passage is _. AProgress in the Field of Study BTeachers Role in Study CHow to Improve Students Ability DBad Points of the Examination System22、 The examination system we are now using can only make the students _. Again more and more knowledge Bmake rapid progress Cremember what is taught Dthink for themselves23、 The passage tells us about the importance of _. Agetting examination system improved Btaking examinations Ctesting a students knowledge Dworking hard at all lessonsText 2People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctors office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctors treatment depended on talking with patients. In general, the communication between doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modern age of medicine began with the stethoscope, an instrument for listening to patients heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such thing as a medical examination. The stethoscopewith all other medical instrumentshas a serious effect on the practice of medicine. Doctors become better at finding the medical problems. More lives are saved. At the same time, doctors give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stop talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought themselves as broken machines.24、 A stethoscope can be used to _. Acheck health conditions Bcure some illnesses Cmeasure temperatures Dtreat heart disease25、 Doctors give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors mainly because _. Amodern medical instruments are used Bthey can cure more diseases and save more lives Cthey have much more medical experience than before第 3 页 共 7 页 Dthey are too busy to have time to talk with patients26、 Some sick people think of themselves as broken machines, which suggested that _. Amodern doctors should treat their patients as machines Bthe level of the treatment was greatly improved Cthey thought they were useless just like broken machines Dthey were not satisfied with the manner in which doctors treated themText 3Although the womens rights movement in the United States is thought of as a recent development, its beginnings date back over one hundred and seventy years. At that time women were dependents in the eyes of the law, and they did not have the rights of adults. A woman had no property rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband, the head of the family. The first public protests(请愿) against the low position of women were made in the 1830s. In 1848 the leaders of this movement (some of whom were for antislavery(反对奴隶制) activities as well) assembled the first Womens Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle as well as in the long, hard fight for womens vote, those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted(侮辱). They were said to be immoral(违反伦理的), and their ideas were considered dangerous to society. Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the United States. By the time many women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and government positions. In spite of all this progress, career women were largely restricted(受限制) to teaching, nursing, and office work. The Womens Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s, has focused on economic rights such as equal pay for equal work. In addition some groups have stressed psychological and social equality. The main purpose of Womens Liberation to free women from the restricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person was allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full. Womens Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence, all men are created equal really means all human beings are created equal.27、 We know from this passage that _ over one hundred seventy years ago. Ano women worked outside their homes Bwomen were considered as children by the law Cwomen cared nothing about how their family lives were Dwomen were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children28、 The underlined word assemble in the second paragraph probably means _. Ato bring a group of people together in one place for a particular purpose Bto make a public or official statement, especially about a plan, decision Cto produce many copies of a book, magazine, or newspaper Dnot to take part in an event or not to buy or use something as a protest29、 Which of the following statements is incorrect according to the passage? AWomen did not have the right to vote before 1900. BWomen had the right to vote throughout the country in 1920. CA little number of women held high academic and government positions in 1920. DCareer women were largely restricted to some areas.30、 Which of the following is TRUE? AIn the 1920s, women were limited to being teachers, nurses or office workers. BWomen mainly paid their attention to how they were paid in the 1960s. CWomen asked to change all men are created equal into all human beings are created equal. DNo states have ever provided women with jobs in the government.第 4 页 共 7 页第二节 补全文章根据短文内容，从短文后的选项后选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 31 The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 32 Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we dont have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement. The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the readers understanding. 33 Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here learning means understanding more, not remembering more information. What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. 34 Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved. 35 It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well. AThe writer should have a better communicating skill. BSuch communication between unequals must be possible. CWe can get access to the content of those materials easily. DThe writer must be superior to the reader in understanding. EThus, we can employ the word reading in two distinct senses. FReading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information. GBesides gaining information and understanding, theres another goal of reading-entertainment.第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完型填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever weve become used to suddenly disappears. 36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 37 to seeor look aton my way to work each morning.
