For
a
clearer
picture
of
what
the
student
knows,
most
teachers
use
another
kind
of
examination
in addition to
objective tests. They use
“
e
ssay
”
tests , which require
students to write long
answers to
broad, general questions such as the following:
“
mention several ways in
which
benjamin franklin has influenced
the thinking of people in his own country and in
other parts
of the world.
”
One advantage
of the essay test is that it reduces the element
of luck. The student cannot
get a high
score just by making a lucky guess. Another
advantage is that it shows the examiner
more about the
student
’
s ability to put
facts together into a meaningful whole. It should
show
how
deeply
he
has
thought
about
the
subject.
sometimes
,
though,
essay
tests
have
disadvantages,
too. some
students ate able to write rather good answers
without really knowing much about the
subject,
while
other
students
who
actually
know
the
material
have
trouble
expressing
their
ideas
in
the essay form.
Besides, in
an essay test the student
’
s
score may depend upon the
examiner
’
s feeling at
the time of reading the
answer. If he is feeling tired or
bored, the
student
may
receive a lower
score
than
he
should.
Another
examiner
reading
the
same
answer
might
give
if
a
much
higher
mark..
because
of
this,
the
objective
test
gives
each
student
a
fairer
chance,
and
of
course
it
is
easier
and quicker to score.
Whether an objective test or an essay
test is used , problems arise. When some objective
questions are used along with some
essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture
of the
student
’
s
knowledge can usually be obtained.
1
what many have been discussed in the previous
paragraphs? _________
[a]the essay
test [b]how teachers test their
students
[c]how student write their
essays [d]the objective test
2
the essay test is preferred because_________.
[a]it shows more about the
student
’
s understanding of
the subject
[b]it tests the
student
’
s knowledge of the
material as well as his expression of ideas.
[c]it gives each student a fairer
chance
[d]its scoring may be
influenced by the examiner
’
s
feelings
5
3 the
word
‘
this
’
(line 4, para 3)refers to the fact that_________.
[a]students may receive a lower score
in an essay test
[b]another examiner
usually gives the answer a higher mark
[c]different examiners may give the same essay
different scores
[d]the objective
test gives each student a fairer chance
4 according to the passage, which of
the following statements about the objective test
is not
true ?
[a]it is
more objective than the essay test in terms of
scoring.
[b]it allows the student to
guess the correct answer without really knowing
the material.
[c]it shows the
student
’
s ability to think
about difficult problems.
[d]it is
easy and quick to score.
5 according to
the author ,an ideal test should be_________ .
[a]an objective test
[b]an essay test
[c]a combination of
the two
[d]something new

Around the world two
thirds of the people are farmers. Most of them
engage in subsistence
farming. This
means that they raise plants and animals to
furnish their families with food and
other supplies. They consume their
varied output and have little to sell or to trade
for other
goods. Subsistence farms were
common in the united states at one time, but there
are few such
farms today.
Two
thirds
of
American
farmers
practice
commercial
farming.
Commercial
farms
produce
about
97 percent of the
country
’
s agricultural
goods. these farms are operated much like other
industries. The members of the farm
family produce the
commodities(
商品
) that will be
sent to
the market. they sell their
products and buy the things they need.
Some commercial farms are big factories in the
field. They may be owned by a company or
by
an
individual
as
an
investment.
Most
American
farms,
however,
are
still
operated
by
families.
a farmer may own
or rent his land.
In a country as
large as the united states, farms vary widely in
climate, land surface,
soil, water
supply, convenience to market, and other
characteristics. different regions may
have
different
kinds
of
specialized
farms.
specialized
farmers
concentrate
on
the
kind
of
farming
best suited to the
land and climate, to their technical skills , and
to the money they invest
in the farm.
However, no region is limited to a
single type of farm. Indeed few farms are limited
to
one
crop
or
commodity.
where
output
is
varied
and
no
one
kind
of
crop
or
commodity
produces
more
than
half
of
a
farm
’
s
income,
it
is
classified
as
a
general
farm.
the
general
farmer
grows
varied
crops to use the different kinds of
soils or surfaces on his land and to employ his
time and
machinery most efficiently.
1 subsistence farmers _________ .
[a]grow crops for their families own
use
[b]sell a lot of their products
for money
[c]trade their varied
output for other goods
[d]use their
agricultural products as commodities
2
subsistence farms
_________ .
[a]are very popular in the
united states now
[b]are still common
in many parts of the world
