Section A
Directions : Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
The standardized educational or psychological test that are widely used to aid in selecting , classifying , assigning , or promoting students , employees , and military personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books , magazines , the daily press , and even in congress. The target is wrong , for in attacking the tests , critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools , with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions. Whether the results will be valuable , meaningless , or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user.
