问题      In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the school of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poems 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 testing candidates for the Doctor’s Degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all the students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. It perhaps 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, is similar to a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, 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 are like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.

选项 A、took objective tests
B、specialized in one subject
C、sat in a room full of candidates
D、never wrote in exams
