Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
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,side effects are also enormous.
To begin, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged
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
examinations encourage bad study habits. As
examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather
to think creatively.
In fact, fewus admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case,
cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?

I can still hear my teammate’s voice in my mind, “No, do not press the buzzer(蜂鸣器) until you (discuss) the answers with us, okay?”
I still pressed the buzzer anyway,(stick) to my instinct(直觉). My team had no time to waste. Checking the answers would require too much time. Besides, I did
quick answer check myself and it looked just fine.
I was doing was a brave move, of course. If what I was about to say was wrong, the
(possible) of our team winning would be destroyed
(complete). I had said a couple of wrong answers before, thus reducing my teammates’ faith in me. I told the teacher my answer. My heart
(beat) wildly while I waited for my teacher’s response. When at last I heard that my answer was indeed correct, I could feel relaxed. I knew my method was against what the team wanted,
I decided to stick to what I thought would benefit the team, instead of sitting and doing
because of the feeling of deep regret I had about the previous wrong
(answer). Trust your instinct. Do not be afraid to try something in your own way.

Snake dishes have become popularrecent years. Snake meat in various flavors (风味) is often seen in restaurant ads. Eating snake seems to be now in vogue(盛行), and if you haven’t eaten snake yet, you
(consider) “out of date”. But I wonder
all the trends are worth following.
Some people may defend themselves _saying that snake meat is nutritious. But these people don’t realize that many parasites(寄生虫)，
do harm to our health, are found inside snakes.
According a survey, about 1000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China and sometimes as
as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in Shenzhen in a single day!
These figures warns us that if no action is taken, number of snakes will drop and make an increase in mice and worms population, which will
in a decrease(减产) of crop output. Who will see such tragedy happen?
So let’s start not to eat snakes any more because “to protect the snake is to protect ”

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed worriedly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he
(eventual) managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him
the bad weather, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after searching for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke
(roll) up to the sky. The worst had happened;
was lost. He was almost fainted with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that
(approach) the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" he asked one of his
(rescue). "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we lose heart,
God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.
Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be smoke signal from the grace of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for them.
