colleague. he was about to give a 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 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.

bees are enough to send big, tough african elephants running away, a new study says. beehives (蜂窝)either recorded or realmay even prevent elephants from damaging farmers crops.in 2002, scientist lucy king and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. today, lucy wants to see if african honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. but before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern kenya and set up a recorder. then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. next，lucy searched out elephant families in samburu national reserve in northern kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.from a distance, lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. when lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. she hasnt tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. she has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.5. we know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .a. loud noises b. some crops c. video cameras d. angry bees6. as mentioned in the passage, lucy .a. works by herself in

elephants ignore african honeybees.b. waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.c. elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them. d. farmers do not allow lucy to conduct tests in their fields.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 di believe that my country，poland，is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. when we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parentsto some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. its not so common nowadays to treat food that way，since you hardly ever bake your own bread. besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! but though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been keptthats why i feel so sorry every time i have to throw any food awayeven though i no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore! many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. its widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. in most homes in poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals togetherextremely difficult now, but so rewarding! you can share other members troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment, instead of rushing through life aimlessly. furthermore, your body，and stomach in particular will be very grateful for such a time! in poland, a wedding，christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. women in the house get together and cook ,sometimes for a few days before the event，and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about. you cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. whats more, almost everyone in poland will be as interested in the topic as i am.13. when the writer was a child, he/she _. a. found people were crazy about bread b. began to realize the importance of food c. thought that cutting bread was amazing d. learned people hardly baked their own bread14. the writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because_. a. he/she makes food from scratch b. his/her parents would blame him/her c. some customs still have effect on him/her d. many people are still working hard as farmers15. from the text, we can learn that, in poland, _. a. most meals can be interesting topics for a long time b. the whole family often have meals together nowadays c. its common for women to get together to cook for a few days d. family members can know more about each other by having meals together第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 16 if you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. you might sell
