问题     This past fall semester, at Duke University, there were two students who were taking Organic Chemistry. They did pretty well on all of the tests and the midterms and labs, etc. , such that going into the final they had a solid "A". These two friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals’ week, even though the Chemistry final was on Monday, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and have a party with some friends up there. So they did this and had a great time. However, with the aftereffects of alcohol and everything, they overslept all day Sunday and didn’ t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.
    Rather than taking the final then, what they did was to find Professor Aldric after the final and explain to him why they missed the final. They told him that they went up to UVA for the weekend, and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire(爆胎) on the way back and didn’ t have a spare and couldn’ t get help for a long time and so were late getting back to campus.
    Aldric thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final on the following day. The two guys were overjoyed and relieved. So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Aldric had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin.
    They looked at the first problem, which was something simple about free radical formation and was worth 5 points. "Cool," they thought, "this is going to be easy. " They did that problem and then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page.
    It said: (95 points) Which tire was flat?
How did the Professor arrange the make-up exam?

选项 A、He made the exam booklet very long.
B、He gave them different exam papers.
C、He asked a very surprising question.
D、He gave them very limited time to finish the paper.

答案C

解析 推理判断题。根据文章最后两段“They looked at the first problem,which was…”可知,教授为他们安排了补考,考卷由两道题组成,第一题占五分且非常容易,第二题占95分,但是与专业知识无关,而是问他们哪个轮胎爆胎了。这道题超出了这两位学生的预料。因此选项C(教授出了一道令人惊讶的问题)符合题意。其他三个选项与文章大意不符。
