答案:Testscanbecategorizedintotwomajorgroups:norm-referenced
testsandcriterion-referencedtests.Thesetwotestsdifferintheirintended
purposes,thewayinwhichcontentisselected,andthescoringprocesswhich

Atestthatmeasuresstudentknowledgeandunderstandinginrelationto

Aperlocutionaryact,however,istheeffectoftheutterance.Bytelling

2.WhatarethemajortypesofsemanticChanges?
答案:Therearemainlythreekindsofsemanticchanges,namely,
broadening,narrowing,andmeaningshift.Classshiftandfolketymology
alsocontributetochangeinmeaning
(1)Broadening
Broadeningisaprocesstoextendorelevatethemeaningfromits

holidayusedtomean“holyday”inreligiousEnglish.Todayitmeans“aday
forrest”regardlessofitsreligiousnature.
(2)Narrowing
Contrarytobroadening,theoriginalmeaningofawordcanbe
narrowedorrestrictedtoaspecificsense.Atypicalexampleistheword
meatwhichoriginallymeant"food".Inthecourseoftime,therangeof
meaningwasnarrowedtomeanspecifically"thefleshofanimalsusedas

Forinstance,thewordbeadoriginallymeans“prayer”,butlateritrefersto

SupposethatJohnSmith,happilymarriedtoMarySmith,addresses
hiswifeas“Mary,Smith,howmanytimeshaveIaskedyounottoflip

forthe“meaning”ofthisunusualformofaddress.Mr.Smithmayaddresshis

【参考译文】
假设约翰·史密斯开心地娶了玛丽小姐后却这样称呼他的妻子:“玛
丽·史密斯,我告诉过你多少次了,换台时不要老那么快!”撇开字面意
思,这不寻常的称呼的出现是有理由的。在这个例子中,史密斯先生称
呼他妻子为“玛丽·史密斯”用以表达他的愤怒。用这样的称呼而非“玛
丽”,正传达了史密斯先生的不满和恼怒。因此可以说这样用词的“隐含
意义”是:他被激怒了。假设有另外一个类似的句子,其中约翰·史密斯
称呼妻子为“亲爱的”,我们就可以进行比较并发现两个句子语气的不
同。
用以表达语言使用者的情感,包括调整其在语言使用过程中的态度
及评价的这层意义就叫感情意义。这类意义实际上是依附于其它意义之
上的。要表达情绪,总是要依靠其它类别的意义——概念意义,内涵意
义,又或者社会意义——来调节。例如,“黑鬼”一词最初是某个特定种
族的名字,而现在已变成用来辱骂他人或者是表达对他人的蔑视。同
样,某些政治词语也经历了相似的发展,比如“法西斯”。
