One day, I received a call from a 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(氣壓計).” 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 didn’t 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 clashed 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 couldn’t 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.
小題1:The student got a zero at the beginning because_______.
A．the teacher wasn’t satisfied with him.
B．his answer wasn’t complete or correct
C．his answer didn’t show his knowledge of physics
D．the teacher didn’t fully understand his answer
小題2:We know from the passage that______ .
A．the administrator told Bohr the height
B．the student knew the expected answer
C．the author preferred Bohr’s last answer
D．the teacher was a very stubborn person
小題3:We can learn from the passage that______.
A．instructors can teach students how to think
B．a(chǎn)rbiters can help students to get high scores
C．teachers should make students use physical formulas
D．students should be given more freedom in thinking
小題4:What was Bohr’s attitude toward his schooling?
A．CriticalB．OptimisticC．ApprovingD．Ambiguous

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:A

試題分析：文章從一個學(xué)生的物理答案得0分說起，得出的結(jié)論是應(yīng)該允許學(xué)生自由地思考。

Then she reached inside her blouse, took out her       money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here's his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a      time.
All heads turned to the woman. “ It's only money,” she shrugged.
She rode the rest of her way home       a happy smile, with the money she'd lost earlier   .

Inventor，physicist，surveyor，astronomer，biologist，artist... Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. Once he worked with renowned（有名聲的） men of science like Christian Huygens，Antony van Leeuwenhoek，Robert Boyle，Isaac Newton and the great architect，Christopher Wren.
Hooke’s early education began at home，under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of thirteen，and from there he went to Oxford，where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and devising（發(fā)明） instruments. In 1662，at the age of twenty－eight，he was named Curator of Experiments of the newly formed Royal Society of London. Hooke accepted the job，even though he knew that it had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through the microscope was one of his favorite occupations. He devised a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (軟木) under a microscope，he saw honeycomb－like structures. They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact，it was Hooke who coined the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院)．
Perhaps because of his varied interests，Hooke often left experiments unfinished. Others took up where he left off and then claimed sole(獨占的)credit. This sometimes led to quarrels with colleagues. One work that he finished was his book MICROGRAPHIA，a volume that reveals the immense potential of the microscope. The book also includes，among other things，ideas on gravity and light which may have helped scientists like Newton while they were developing their own theories on these phenomena.
Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater(隕石坑) on the moon is named after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science.
小題1:From the first paragraph，we can know that Robert Hooke __________.
A．was famous because he worked with many scientists
B．liked making friends with the famous people
C．received a lot from other scientists
D．made contributions to many different fields
小題2:Robert Hooke probably went to school in __________.
A．1647　　　B．1634C．1662D．1640
小題3:Robert Hooke made himself known to some of the best scientists in England by __________.
A．learning by himself with his father’s help
B．introducing himself to them
C．designing experiments and instruments
D．refusing any reward from Royal Society of London
小題4:Robert Hooke couldn’t get along well with his colleagues because __________.
A．he couldn’t finish his work on time sometimes
B．he had all kinds of interests in his daily life
C．he was too proud to look up to them
D．the other scientists took the fruits of his experiments
