问题     In ancient times, the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
    In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree.
    Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
    One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.
The kind of exams where students must select answers are______.

选项 A、personal
B、spoken
C、objective
D、written

答案C

解析 事实细节题。文章最后一段说“老师出客观性试题时,会写出一系列的问题,每个问题有四个选项,其中只有一个是正确的,而另外三个对那些没有好好准备的考生来说具有很大迷惑性。”因此学生必须选答案的考试是客观考试,第四段第一 句为主题句,故C是正确答案。
