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 and measure 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 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 couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were.He listed many others，and then added，"Probably the best one is to take the barometer to the administrator and say 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 in Physics in 1922.

　　【解题导语】　本文主要讲述了一个学生不按老师的要求解答物理题，但最终获得诺贝尔物理学奖的故事。

5．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．the teacher didn't fully understand his answer

D．his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics

D　解析：细节理解题。从第二段第一句中的"but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics"可知，这个学生的解题方法没有体现物理方面的知识是他得零分的原因。

6．We know from the passage that ________．

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

A　解析：细节理解题。从倒数第二段中的"Then，I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did"可知，这个学生知道被期待
