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 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. The student got a zero at the beginning because _.A. the teacher wasnt satisfied with himB. his answer wasnt complete or correctC. the teacher didnt fully understand his answerD. his answer didnt show his knowledge of physics2. We know from the passage that _.A. the student knew the expected answer B. the administrator told Bohr the heightC. the author preferred Bohrs last answer D. the teacher was a very stubborn person3. We can learn from the passage that _.A. instructors can teach students how to thinkB. arbiters can help students to get high scoresC. students should be given more freedom in thinkingD. teachers should make students use physical formulas4. What was Bohrs attitude toward his schooling?A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Positive.三、书面表达。请从下列人物中选择你最喜欢的一位，用英语写一篇120词左右的短文。要求根据所给信息作适当发挥，且需包括以下三部分内容：1. 对该人物的简单介绍；2. 喜欢该人物的理由；3. 从该人物身上得到的启示。Thomas EdisonMadame CurieQian Xueseninventor; creative; diligent; full of wisdomscientist; determined; selfless; modestscientist; diligent; selfless; devoted“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”“The human must have to have the patience, specially must have the confidence.”“Dont lose faith.
