In ancient
times, the most important exams were spoken, not written. In the 21 of ancient Greece and Rome,
testing usually 22 saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
In the European
universities of the Middle Ages, students who were 23 for advanced degrees had to 24 questions in their field of
study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This 25 exists today as part of the
process of 26 candidates (应试者) for the doctor's degree.
Generally, 27 , modern exams are written. The
written exam, 28 all students are tested on the
same questions, was probably 29 until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into 30 with the great 31 in population and the great
development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state exam, 32 exactly by electric clocks and
carefully watched over by managers, is similar to a group of 33 at an automobile factory.
Certainly, during exams teachers and students are 34 to act like machines.
One type of
test is sometimes 35 an "objective(客观题) test". It is intended to deal with facts, not 36 opinions. To 37 an objective test the teacher
writes a series of questions, each of which has 38 one correct answer. Along with
each question, the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements

Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column. After she retired, she found a volunteer job in an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things: Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems—mostly problems with communication.
Mrs Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the year, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there is a new subject: Old people like herself. She begins to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Plus,” which focuses on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people’s music and to watch the most popular television shows.
“It’s important to know something about your grandchildren’s world,” says Mrs Douglas. “That means questions and listening—and listening is not what old people do best.” She continues, “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don’t give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well. ”

In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.
Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.
What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by a smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.
46. Which of the following is best to outline(概括) the article?
A. Research on the Brain B. Differences Between Men and Women

Scientists used to explore on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.
In 1934 the scientise William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10,330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.
All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface. Later they succeed. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.
Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then, in 1964, he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.
Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.
51.In order to ____, scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.
