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?
It can be inferred from the passage that______.

选项 A、the students didn’t like Professor Aldric
B、the two students had difficulties in their studies
C、Professor Aldric was very clever and humorous
D、the two students would surely pass the make-up exam

答案C

解析 推理判断题。从文章最后三段描述教授为他们所安排的补考形式以及内容可以推断出,这位教授非常机智和幽默,他猜到这两位学生在撒谎,但是并没有直接拆穿他们的谎言,而是将这两位学生安排在不同房间并且在试卷中问了同样的问题:哪个轮胎爆胎了?如果他们给出的答案不同,谎言将不攻自破。因此,选项C符合题意。
