浙江省湖州市长兴县龙山中学共同体素养检测2024-2025学年八年级上学期12月月考英语试题
①Many years ago people took tests to show how much they knew. Today students still take many different kinds of tests.
②Throughout history, tests have been a kind of measuring tool (测量工具). They measure how students are learning, as well as how teachers are teaching. Teachers can use tests as a way to see if their teaching are working. If students are doing poorly on tests, teachers can change how they' re teaching to help students understand things more clearly.
③Many teachers understand that tests can actually help students learn. Testing has been believed to help students remember what they have been taught. Tests serve as a way for students to find gaps in their understanding. Once they fill those gaps, they can do better on the next test.
④However, testing isn't always a good thing. For some students, this causes(造成)a lot of worries because they want to do well. Tests can make some students lose sleep because they' re studying for a long time or because they' re afraid of doing poorly.
⑤Besides, some people think that tests are not always a good way to measure how smart students are. For example, if Lucy is sick the day of a test, she might do poorly on the test when she is actually smart. Tests only look at one day in her life, but not how she does in school over a long time.
⑥Are you for or against tests? Should students have to take tests?
