　參考範文：

In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.

To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.

In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?

　參考譯文：

在大多數高校考試作為主要手段,判斷一個學生成功與否掌握特定的主題。雖然確實工作很有效,但其副作用也是巨大的。

首先,考試降低了教學的標準。由於教師經常通過考試成績來判斷,他們減少了訓練學生考試技巧。沒有對象可以教成功僅僅通過接觸目的.考試。此外,最不受歡迎的影響是,考試鼓勵不好的學習習慣。考試分數是他的學業成績的唯一標準,學生是驅動的機械記憶而不是創造性地思考問題。

事實上,我們很少有人承認考試可以貢獻什麼真正重要的學生的學術發展。如果是這樣,為什麼我們不能做出改變和創立出一種比考試更有效、更可靠嗎?
