Types of Test
Placement
A placement test is designed to sort new students into teaching groups, so that they can start a
course at approximately the same level as the other students in the class. It is concerned with the
student’s present standing, and so relates to general ability rather than specific points of learning. As
a rule the results are needed quickly so that teaching may begin. A variety of tests is necessary
because a range of different activities is more likely to give an accurate overall picture of a student’s
level than a single assessment. Sometimes one member of staff sees each student individually
before the final class allocation is made. This procedure has several advantages. It helps to complete
the assessment for each individual student by disclosing factors which are not revealed by the
written tests, either positive ones such as a friendly, outgoing character or a higher level of
production than a writing test suggests, or negative ones such as a slight stammer(口吃) or more
than average shyness. Perhaps the greatest advantage of the interview is that there is now the
opportunity to assess both oral production (the ability to make English sounds) and fluency (the


ability to sound English in a social situation) at one and the same time.
Diagnostic
A diagnostic test (sometimes called a formative or progress test) checks on student’s progress
in learning particular elements of the course. It is used for example at the end of a unit in the course
book or after a lesson designed to teach one particular point. These tests can take the form of an
extension of the lesson from a practice phase into an assessment phase. They can provide
information about progress which may be used systematically for remedial(补救的) work. The
diagnostic test tries to answer the question “How well have the students learned this particular
material?” If his learning has been successful, the results will give a considerable lift to the
student’s moral and he is likely to approach the next learning tasks with fresh enthusiasm. If he
finds he has not mastered the point at issue, the test should give him clear indications of how he
falls short, so that he can do some useful revision.
Achievement
An achievement test (also called an attainment test) looks back over a longer period of learning
than the diagnostic test, for example a year’s work, or a whole course, or even a variety of different
courses. It is intended to show the standard which the students have now reached in relation to other
students at the same stage. This standard may be established for a country, as with school-leaving
certificates; or it may relate to an individual school or group of schools which issues certificates to
students attending courses. But the important point which is common to all these situations is that
the standard remains constant as far as possible from course to course and from year to year and is
external to the individual class or textbook.
Proficiency
The aim of a proficiency test is to assess the student’s ability to apply in actual situations what
he has learnt. It seeks to answer the question: “Having learnt this much, what can the student do
with it?” This type of test is not usually related to any particular course because it is concerned with
the student’s current standing in relation to his future needs. Efforts must be made to use in the tests
the kind of language which actually occurs in the situations the student will meet. For example, a
test which sets out to assess the proficiency of a student hoping to follow a university course in an
English-speaking country would need to take into account not only his level of skills in listening to
lectures, but also his ability to take notes, to make full use of what is written on the blackboard or
projected, and finally to use the information he has gained from the lecture in his subsequent


writing.
An important element in proficiency testing is to assess in some way the student’s ability to
repair breakdowns in communication, by asking for a repetition or an explanation, for example, or
by rephrasing(改述) what he has just tried to say. A rather typical example of a standardized
proficiency test is the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). It is used by nearly 1 000
institutions of higher education in the United States as an indicator of a prospective student’s ability
to undertake academic work in English. The TOEFL consists of the following sections:—Listening
Comprehension measures the ability to understand English as it is spoken in the United States.
—Structure and Written Expression measures mastery of important structural and grammatical
points in standard written English. —Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension tests the ability to
understand the meanings and uses of words in written English as well as the ability to understand a
variety of reading materials.
Proficiency tests sometimes add sections that involve free writing andor oral production. This
division of tests into separate categories is clearly rather arbitrary(武断的), and though it is
convenient to say that the purpose of any test can be defined in this way, there are in practice
several different purposes for every test. For example, it has been argued above that an achievement
test assesses the learning that has gone before, and is therefore concerned with the past, but a
student taking this kind of test usually does so because he needs the qualification to convince
someone else of his future potential, either as a student in a more advanced course or as an
employee. In the same way, although a proficiency test is not in theory concerned with how the
student’s present stage of competence has been arrived at, he may well have prepared for it by
taking a course designed to help him to pass.

45. Placement test can provide information about students’ specific points of learning.
46. The interview has an advantage of reducing the workload of faculty members.
47. A diagnostic test checks on students’ ability to communicate.
48. A test for school leaving certificates can be regarded as an achievement test.
49. A proficiency test aims to assess students’ ability to apply in actual situation what they have
learned.
50. The author chooses the TOEFL as an example of proficiency tests because it is a well-known
test.


51. An important element in proficiency testing is to assess in some way the examinee’s ability to
continue a broken down communication by asking for a repetition or an explanation.
52. To see each student individually helps to find the positive factors not revealed in a written test,
such as a _______________________________ than a writing test suggests.
53. Diagnostic tests can take the form of an extension of the lesson from a practice phase into
______________________________.
54. There is an argumentation that an achievement test is designed to be involved the knowledge of
the past, but the aim of an examinee is to get the qualification to
______________________________.
Task 2 In-depth Reading (
Questions 55~64; 20 minutes
)

Directions: There are 2 passages in this task. Each passage is followed by five questions. You
should read carefully the four choices following each question and decide on the best answer. If you
finish the task before the time limit, you can click the SUBMIT button and move on to the next task.

Passage One
Questions 55 to 59 are based on the following passage.
Although monkeys and chimpanzees are weaker and less fierce than many other animals, they
possess brains that are much developed along the evolutionary road. Birds can catch insects on the
wing with unparalleled skill—but they cannot think and reason. In technical terms it can be said that
they are lacking in insight. The abilities that they do possess are built-in instincts derived from their
genetic inheritance. Monkeys can reason. They can easily remember a lighted door indicating the
presence of food. A monkey can reach a banana hanging high up in its cage by piling up boxes to
stand on and then knocking down it with a stick.
Wolfgang Kobler had provided various boxes and other apparatuses by which he proposed to
test a chimpanzee’s ability to think out a method of reaching a fruit hung nine feet in the air. The
animal looked about it and sized up the problem. Then it took Kobler by the hand, led him to a
position immediately under the banana, jumped up on to his shoulder and reached it down from
there. But evolution, although it has brought monkeys to a remarkable degree of cleverness, has
stopped short at a crucial ability, the possession of which places man at a clearly superior level.


Their minds cannot cope with abstract ideas. For example, an ape can be taught to fill a can with
water from a barrel and take the can of water to put out a fire so that it can reach into a box and get
food. But if the whole set-up is arranged on a raft the animal will continue to draw its water only
from the barrel. It cannot grasp that any water, taken more, conveniently, say, from the pond on
which the raft is floating, will put out the fire just as well. The abstract idea that water puts out fire
is beyond it.

55. Birds owe their remarkable abilities to______________.
(A) inheritance


(B) insight
(C) intelligence
(D) navigation
56. The superior intelligence of monkeys, compared with other creatures, apart from man, is
demonstrated by______________.
(A) the possession of brains
(B) the ability to reason and think
(C) the memory
(D) the ability to cope with abstract ideals
57. Which of the following can NOT show the intelligence of monkeys?
(A) Being less fierce.
(B) Piling up boxes to get food.
(C) Remembering lighted doors.
(D) Developing their own methods for solving problems.
58. Monkeys are differentiated from man because they lack our ability to______________.
(A) draw water from a pond
(B) understand abstract ideas
(C) stop short and consider difficult problems
(D) use water in the pond to put out fires
59. Kobler’s chimpanzee is clever because it______________.
(A) chose Kobler himself as the quickest route
(B) successfully completed the experiment
(C) took Kobler by the hand
(D) used all the gear provided

Passage Two
Questions 60 to 64 are based on the following passage.
There are three basic ways in which individual economic units interact with one another. They
are the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system. In a market system,
individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place. Transactions
may take place through barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as
automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who
wants to trade an old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence the
introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably.
An alternative to the market system is administered control by some agency over all


transactions. This agency will issue laws or commands as to how much each goods and service
should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be
one way of administering such an economy. The central plan drawn up by the government shows
the amount of each commodity produced by the various firms and distributed to different
households for consumption.
In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition. Each
person’s place with the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion, and custom. Transactions
take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an
obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and
provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of
tradition alone progress may be difficult to achieve.

60. What is the main purpose of the passage?
(A) To explain the science of economics.
(B) To outline types of economic systems.
(C) To argue for the superiority of one economic system.
(D) To compare barter and money-exchange markets.
61. Which of the following could best replace the word “real” (Line 2, Para. 2)?
(A) High quality.
(B) Concrete.
(C) Utter.
(D) Essential.
62. According to the passage, a barter economy can lead to_________.
(A) rapid speed of transactions
(B) misunderstandings
(C) inflation
(D) difficulties for the traders
63. According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control on an administered system?
(A) Individual households.
(B) Small businesses.
(C) Major companies.
(D) The government.
64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
(A) The central plan drawn up by the government is mainly based on the needs of the state as a
whole.


(B) The economic system in China is based on the traditional system.
(C) In a market system, transactions are controlled by the government.
(D) In a traditional society, economy develops very fast.
