范文：

In most schools and colleges 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.

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. Examinations do not motivate a student to seek more knowledge， but to restrict his reading； they do not enable him to study consistently throughout the semester， but to induce cramming during exam week. Examinations also lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers themselves are often judged by examination results， they are often judged by examination results， they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. And no subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations.

Actually， few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students academic development. If thats the case， why cant we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations？

在大多数学校和学院，考试是用来作为一个主要的手段，决定一个学生是否成功或失败，掌握一个特定的主题。虽然它的工作效率相当高，它的副作用也是巨大的。

最不良的影响是考试鼓励学习习惯不好。由于考试分数是他学习成绩的唯一标准，学生被机械地机械地记住而不是创造性地思考。考试不能促使学生去追求更多的知识，反而限制了他们的阅读；他们没有使他学习整个学期，但填鸭式教学在考试周。考试也降低了教学标准。由于教师往往根据考试结果来判断，他们往往通过考试结果来判断，他们是减少训练学生的考试技巧。没有人能成功地被教导成功仅仅通过被接触的意图来参加考试。

实际上，我们中的几个人都承认，考试能为学生的学术发展做出任何重要的贡献。如果是这样的话，为什么我们不能做一个改变，设计一些比考试更有效、更可靠的方法呢？
