求这些题目的答案，谢谢了！

In ancient times the most important examinations werespoken, not written. In the schools of ancient GreeceandRome,testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
In theEuropeanuniversities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degreeshad to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made aspecial study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the processof testing candidates (考生) for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, however, modern examiniations are written.The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came intoexistence with the great increase in population and development of modernindustry. A room full ofcandidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks andcarefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at anautomobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and studens areexpected to act like machines.
One type of test is sometimes called an objective (客观) test. It is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a seriesof questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with eachquestion the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements thatlook like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.
