Part IV Reading Comprehension
Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
We might wonder at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a
person’s knowledge and ability remain as primitive (原始的) as ever they were. It really is
extraordinary that after all these years; educationalists have still failed to devise anything more
efficient and reliable than examinations. For the claim that examinations test what you know, it is
common knowledge that they more often do the opposite. They may be a good means of testing
memory or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing
about a person’s true ability.

As anxiety (焦虑) makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much
depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may
be decided in one fateful day. It doesn’t matter that you weren’t feeling very well, or that your
mother died. Little things like that don’t count: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best
when he is in great terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination
system expects him to do. The moment a child begins school, he enters a world of violent
competition where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the
increasing number of drop-outs: young people who are written off as complete failures before they
have even started a career? Can we be surprised at the suicide (自杀) rate among students?

61. According to the writer, what do examinations NOT test?

A) Students’ pressure. B) Students’ memory.

C) Students’ progress. D) Students’ knowledge.

62. What does the word “knack” most likely mean in Paragraph One?

A) “special skill” B) “difficult quiz”

C) “convenient device” D) “good advice”

63. How do examinations often make young people feel?

A) Annoyed and angry. B) Sorry and sad.

C) Surprised and disappointed. D) Worried and upset.

64. Which of the following situations would the writer hope to see about young people at school?

A) Their success and failure are clearly defined by exams.

B) They work hard before the examination day.

C) Their failure is decided on the examination day.

D) Few of them drop out of school.

65. What is the writer’s attitude toward examinations?
A) Critical. B) Casual. C) Neutral. D) Positive.

Passage Two
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
Perhaps the most amazing thing to come out of kinesics, the study of body movement, was
suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally
programmed. In other words, we learn our looks – we are not born with them. A baby has
