英銘老師：閱讀測驗是很多考生畏懼的英文題型之一，其實閱讀測驗的解題並不難，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到“examination” (考試)、 “influence” (影響)，所以文章一定跟 “考試的影響”有關。

Examinations have come to exercise so great an influence in | |
|
the modern age that it may be difficult to take a view of them | |
|
unclouded by prejudices. Those who pass examinations have an | |
|
interest in encouraging their use and in emphasizing their | |
|
5 |
advantages. Those who fail may be in danger of accepting a |
|
pessimistic view of their own abilities which could affect their whole | |
|
future. Here lies a great danger, for even in a society in which | |
|
everyone would be given an equal chance, no means of selection can | |
|
be tolerated which depresses the ambition of those rejected. There | |
|
10 |
was little disgrace in failing an examination at a time when only a |
|
small elite was involved. Nowadays nearly everyone is examined and | |
|
graded at one level or another, and opportunity for promotion is | |
|
becoming steadily more available to those who pass tests. | |
|
Examinations are important, but what is regrettable is that there | |
|
15 |
is a tendency to put aside that which is not to be estimated by |
|
examination. Moral excellence and strength of character, though | |
|
encouraged in school by tradition, come second to examination | |
|
technique when a student applies for entrance to the next stage of | |
|
education. But we must bear in mind that it is the defects in persona | |
|
20 |
l qualities rather than lack of knowledge which are responsible for |
|
failures in life. |
