5.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(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 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 added5"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.
56.The student got a zero at the beginning becauseD.
A.the teacher wasn't satisfied with him
B.his answer wasn't complete or correct
C.the teacher clicln5t fully understand his answer
D.his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics
57.We know from the passage thatA
A.the student knew the expected answer
B.the administrator told Bohr the height
C.the author preferred Bohr s last answer
D.the teacher was a very stubborn person
58.We can learn from the passage thatC.
A.instructors can teach students how to think
B.arbiters can help students to get high scores
C.students should be given more freedom in thinking
D.teachers should make students use physical formulas
59.What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?B
A.Optimistic.B.Critical.C.Approving.D.Ambiguous.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们讲述了一个学生的物理答案得0分,但他自己认为满分,他就是后来伟大的物理学家波尔,他十分批判学校应试教育的教育模式,提倡自由思考,作者旨在呼吁学校应允许学生自由地思考.
解答 56.D.推理判断题.根据文章第一段"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"他用绳子绑着气压计从楼上放下来,只通过测量绳子的长度就可求得楼高,可知这个学生的答案没有涉及到物理方面的知识;故选D.
57.A.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段:Then,I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did,可知他后来成为伟大的物理学家,可推测这个学生知道这个问题的答案;故选A.
58.C.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段:but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.可知学生应该被允许自由地思考;故选C.
59.B.推理判断题.根据文章倒数第二段:but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.可知Bohr他知道问题的常规答案,但是厌倦了高中干涉他思考方式的教育方法,可知他对学校教育是批判的;故选B.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
