For a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use “essay” 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 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 cares 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 are 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 feelings 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 it 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 gotten.

BEIJING——The handsome face and muscular figure of Lin Dan make him an ideal candidate for the big screen.

However, the Chinese badminton superstar says any speculation about a career in the entertainment industry will have to wait until his on-court career ends.

“Right now, I'm just focused on the 2012 Olympic Games. I will not think about the possibility of acting as long as I'm still able to play the sport,” said 27-year-old Lin during a press conference on Sunday organized by razor (剃刀) brand Gillette.

The reigning(占優(yōu)勢(shì)）Olympic and world champion is determined to hold on until the 2012 London Olympics, even though he achieved a grand slam(大滿貫）by winning the Asian Games in Guangzhou.

“I will try my best and hold on to play the 2012 Olympic Games,” said Lin, who won the MVP Award at the Asian Games thanks to his men's single title and his overwhelming popularity with fans and the media.

“I know it will be a tough two years. I know rising stars and old foes will come up and pose bigger threats during my preparation. But I'm ready to accept the challenge,” ‘Super Dan’ said.

The Asiad title was the only major crown missing from Lin's glittering resume, which includes one Olympic title and three consecutive world crowns.

He said the pressure going into the Asiad was even greater than that at the 2008 Beijing Games.

“I know lots of people expected me to pick up the title. There was big pressure on me,” said Lin, who was upset by Indonesia's Hidayat Taufik in the Doha final four years ago. “So when I did it, I felt more excited than when I won the Olympic title.”

A. Lin Dan is fond of acting

B. Lin Dan will work on entertainment and badminton at the same time

C. Lin Dan has decided to take up badminton all his life.

D. Lin Dan won't consider join in the entertainment industry before he retires

A. many athletes are afraid of the new opponent（對(duì)手）

B. Lin Dan will achieve his grand slam

C. Lin Dan is prepared to face the 2012 Olympic Games

D. Lin Dan beat Indonesia's Hidayat Taufik in 2006

70. Which can probably replace the underlined word “speculation” in Paragraph 2?

A. observation              B. prediction        C. contribution     D. consideration

71. Which statement is NOT true?

A. Lin Dan has won all kinds of titles of badminton.

B. The 2012 London Olympic Games had brought the biggest pressure to Lin Dan.

If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret according to a British market research document released last week.

Researchers peered(凝視)into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.

They say those people can be separated into five categories; nutrition nerds, food faddies(whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.

Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.

People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.

A fridge full of vitamins－enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddies, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.

A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want.

This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life. Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water for soda pop; the nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard. Also, someone who woks hard and plays hard. Also, someone who is not into long term planning.

Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurant.

64. We can know from the first two paragraphs that        .

A. some researchers are fond of staring at other people’s fridges

B. people don’t want others to know about their secrets

C. the food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality

D. there are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people

65. According to the passage, people who belong to food faddies_________.

   A. don’t care much about money when buying things

   B. will try their best to stay healthy

   C. often stay up late to finish their job

   D. prefer to ask others about what to do next.

66. What will those who often dine out put in the fridge?

   A. All kinds of food they like             

B. Only something to drink

   C. Fruit, vegetables and meat            

D. Food rich in vitamins

67. What might be the most suitable title for the text?

   A. Keep your fridge a secret                   

B. You are what's in your fridge

   C. What to put in the fridge                    

D. Be careful about your fridge

Celia was shocked. She had always been in good shape during high school, but now, in her first year of college, she was suddenly ten pounds heavier. “My friends and I often had pizza or ice cream when we studied late at night,” she said, “and I was always drinking Coke to stay awake.”

Celia’s experience is common. Many students enter college and find it so different that they cannot deal with changes properly. They’re away from their parents and in a new stressful environment. Pressures together with freedom to sleep and eat whatever they please cause many students to experience the “Freshman 15”: gaining weight suddenly in their freshman year of college.

Most students do not realize that the “Freshman 15” can cause some serious health problems. Of course, college-age adults are still developing bone mass, so gaining some weight is normal. Sudden weight gain, however, puts too much strain(負(fù)擔(dān))on the heart and lungs, resulting in little energy and some difficulty thinking and remembering. In later life, it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and possible cancer.

The solution to the “Freshman 15” is simple－pay attention to developing good habits! In general:

●Eat normal-sized meals at regular times. Eat slowly and enjoy it, so you don’t need to go back for more.

●Keep only healthy snacks in your room－and don’t snack too often!

●Control drinking and smoking. Alcohol has a lot of calories, and smoking too much makes exercise difficult.

●Exercise regularly! Even just 30 minutes a day－such as walking quickly to class from your dorm－will make a big difference!

60. What happened to Celia in her first year of college?

A. She had sleep problems.

B. She put on weight suddenly.

C. She always studied late.

D. She went on a diet so as to keep in good shape.

61. What do many students think of their freshman year of college?

A. They find it quite different.

B. They find it not quite difficult.

C. They find it very free.

D. They find it simple.

62. What do most college students fail to realize?

   A. Gaining some weight is normal.

B. They have grown up.

C. They have gained a lot of weight.

D. Sudden weight gain may result in serious health problems.

63. What are students advised to do?

A. Eat slowly and exercise regularly.

B. eat all food slowly and regularly.

C. Keep enough healthy snacks in the room.

D. Eat healthy snacks as much as possible.

Dear Editor,

Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. By banning all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.

These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2! Where can kids go for a snack?

There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?

Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. Fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.

The City Council claims that local merchants, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business. I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.

Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. If I need a tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the some kind of tire for $9. Again, I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.

Wes Woodrow

9th-Grade Student at Brockingham High School

C. the government’s ban benefits local merchants much

D. discount stores usually offer a discount of 40%.

C. harmful, not helpful

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with  36  problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very  37  . So, what makes blogging different from writing in  38  diary?

The biggest difference is that blogging is much more  39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of  40  that she does not want to  41  .

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog  42  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her  43  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.   44 

I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but  45  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  46  that my sister might read it!

The biggest  47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something  48  about her in my diary, she would never know.   49    , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend  50  read her blog and get a “cry”.

There are also  51  of blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,”   52  would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would  53  respond（回應(yīng)）and tell her how much they  54  her. Blogs help people  55  in contact with their friends and to hear what the people around them are doing.
