student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. i was elected as their arbiter（仲裁人）. i read the examination problem: “show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（气压计）. ”the student had answered; take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. the length of it is the height of the building.”the student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didnt confirm his competence in physics. i suggested the student try again. i gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. then, use the physical formula（公式）to calculate the height of the building.”at this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. i couldnt help asking the student what the other answers were. he listed many others, and then added, probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, sir, here is a fine barometer. if you tell me the height of the building, i will give it to you.”, then, i asked the student if he really did not know the conventional(传统的) answer to this question. he admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.the name of the student was bohr who later was famous all over the world. he won the nobel prize for physics in 1922.1. the student got

in most western countries, journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers, since in western countries all newspapers are independent of the government. some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people. other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be given to poor people. you can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the west by looking at the newspaper he reads. all newspapers report national and international news. they give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial issues in the editorials and columns of opinion. the readers of the newspaper can also comment on these editorials or articles. there are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books, etc. these are very important, for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful. all these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life. all these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper. when he or she has made a decision on the articles, the newspaper is prepared for printing. all this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office. there are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements, photographs and much, much more.5. what does the underlined word “be fitted” mean?a. be suitable b. be putc. be read d. be measured6. what articles comment on controversial issues?a. editorials and opinion columns. b. news stories.c. some of the informative articles. d. jokes and humour.7. which is true about the journalists in western countries?a. theres no time limit for their report articles.b. they have no right to influence the readers opinions.c. a newspaper can come out with just a journalist working individually.d. journalists must submit their articles before the due date.8. why are good reviews important to books?a. good reviews are excellent introduction to books.b. readers especially favour books with good reviews.c. good reviews can make readers feel relaxed and comfortable.d. good reviews can bring a large circulation(发行量) of the books reviewed.【答案】 5. b6. a7. d8. d【解析】试题分析: ：这篇文章主要介绍了西方国家的报纸以及记者的日常工作，因为工作的压力，许多记者必须一起工作，他们必须在最后期限交文章。5. b 细节理解题。根据文中第二段最后all this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office. there are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements, photographs and much, much more.可知，广告，照片是有最后期限的，可知好的评论可以使这些书得到大量的传播，所以选d。考点：考查生活类短文阅读。cproudly reading my words, i glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. confused, i glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. having no choice, i slowly raised the report i had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “what could be causing everyone to act this way?”quickly, i flashed back to the day miss lancelot gave me the task. this was the first real talk i received in my new school. it seemed simple: go on the internet and find information about a man named george washington. since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, i had never heard of that name before. as i searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! one invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across america. i stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. i called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. ah! tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, george washington carver.weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, i was totally lost. oh well, i lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what i had done wrong. as a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “my report is on george washington, the man who started the american revolution.” the whole world became quite! how could i know that she meant that george washington?obviously, my grade was awful. heartbroken but fearless, i decided to turn this around. i talked to miss lancelot, but she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. i felt that the punishment was not justified, and i believed i deserved a second chance. consequently, i threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. ten months later, that chance unfolded as i found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. i smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. justice is sweet!9. what did the authors classmates think about his report?a. interesting b. ridiculous. c. boring. d. puzzling.10.why was the author confused about the task?a. he was unfamiliar with american history. b. he followed the advice and flipped a coin.c. he forgot his teachers instruction. d. he was new at the school.11.the underlined word “burning” in para. 3 probably means _.a. annoyed b. ashamed c. ready d. eager12.in the end, the author turned things around _.a. by redoing his task b. through his own effortsc. with the help of his grandfather d. under the guidance of his headmaster【答案】 9. b10.a11.d12.b【解析】试题分析: 文章介绍了主人公“我”在完成老师交待的任务时，对美国历史不是很熟悉，介绍的华盛顿这个人物不是历史上领导美国革命的华盛顿，而是另外一个人。在课堂上，读自己写的有关人物的报告时，引起了同学的嘲笑，分数也很低，接下来的时间，主人公“我”努力学习，并最终取得了好的成绩。9. b细节理解题。根据文中第一段前两句proudly reading my words, i glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. confused, i glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.由同学们的笑和老师的表情可知“我”的文章是荒唐可笑的。所以选b。结果是通过“我”的努力。所以选b。考点：考查故事类短文阅读。di believe that my country，poland，is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. when we were little
