10、st 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.

11、 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 e3xpressing their ideas in the essay form.Besides, in an essay test the student&

12、#39;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

13、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.

25、 best describes Mum?A. clever B. hard working C. warm hearted D. strangePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.No one knows for sure why birds migrate(定期遷徙。One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the I

26、ce Age, when ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia and North America. As the ice melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again in winter. Gradually, these comings and goings became habits, and birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone.Another t

27、heory proposes that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas. There they lived so well that the region became overcrowded. Many species had to move northward.During the summer, these birds found plenty of room and food. In winter, however, food became scarce and they had to return t

28、o the south.A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands(腺in the bird's body and prepares it for migration. One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by exposing them for two months to artificial daylight. Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly n

29、orth as soon as they are set free. The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird's body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight.This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time. Each species seems to ha

30、ve its own schedule. The theory would also account for the regular time and routes of migration. Birds arrive at a given place year after year. Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days. Total hours of daylight, rather than weather, start them on the way.How birds find their way to the same pl

31、ace year after year and why they follow their own particular route are still mysteries. They evidently do not follow known landmarks(地面標志,for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.31.We can conclude from the first paragraph that _.Aduring the Ice Age, the whole Europe

32、 was covered with iceBthe south used to be the homelands of all birdsCscientists can confidently explain why birds migrate nowDmigration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth.32.The birds mentioned in the third paragraph fly north in midwinter because _.Athey are specially trained by a scientistBthey are affected by seasonal changesCthere is a change in their body temperatu
