2019年大学英语新三级考题作文

In most colleges and universities, examinations are used as the main means to determine whether a student is successful or unsuccessful in mastering a particular subject. Although its working efficiency is high, its side effects are also great.

First of all, the examination lowers the teaching level. As teachers are usually judged by their test scores, they can only train students' test skills. No course can be taught successfully only by studying with the intention of taking the exam. In addition, the worst influence is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the test score is the only standard to measure academic performance, students are forced to memorize mechanically instead of thinking creatively.

In fact, few people admit that examinations play a really important role in students' academic development.

Academic level test is the main means to assess whether the relevant subjects of ordinary senior high school students meet the requirements of curriculum standards, and it is also an important means to check the fairness and impartiality of the credit recognition of ordinary senior high schools. The results of academic level examination are one of the main references for the enrollment and selection of colleges and universities.

If so, why can't we make changes and design a more effective and reliable method than the examination?

在大多数学院和大学里，考试被用作决定一个学生在掌握一门特定学科方面是成功还是失败的主要手段。虽然它的工作效率很高，但它的副作用也很大。

首先，考试降低了教学水平。由于教师通常是根据考试成绩来评判的，他们只能训练学生的考试技巧。仅仅通过带着参加考试的意图去学习，没有一门课程可以教得成功。此外，最不良的影响是考试助长了不良的学习习惯。由于考试分数是衡量学习成绩的唯一标准，学生被迫机械地记忆，而不是创造性地思考。

事实上，很少有人承认考试对学生的学业发展有什么真正重要的作用。

学业水平考试是考核普通高中学生相关科目学习是否达到课程标准要求的主要手段，也是检查普通高中学分认定公平、公正程度的重要手段。学业水平考试结果是高等学校招生选拔的主要参考依据之一。

如果是这样的话，为什么我们不能做出改变，设计出比考试更有效、更可靠的方法呢？
