Teachers in thousands of schoolrooms in America are trying to communicate some of the excitement and importance of these new developments to their students They know that some of their eager students will someday be scientists and will themselves then contribute[贡献] to the development of new knowledge or its application to new things

We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study But the way to test a student’s 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 student’s memory but it can tell you nothing about a student’s ability It does no good to students and teachers
As soon as a child begins school he enters a world of examination that will decide his future of job
In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself But it now does nothing about that So students are encouraged to remember what is taught It does not enable them to gain more and more 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 ways to test a students ability besides knowledge And that is what we should do at once
1 Now little has been done to________
A decide a student’s job B test a students ability
C test a student’s knowledge D test a student’s memory
2 The examination system we are now using can only make the students ________
A gain more and more knowledge B make rapid progress
C remember what is taught D think for themselves
3 In order to make students gain high marks in the coming examination teachers have to _______
A develop their students ability
B fill their students heads with much information
C teach freely
D teach their students how to study
4 The passage tells us about the importance of _______
A getting examination system improved
B taking examinations
C testing a student’s knowledge
D working hard at all lessons
