The Final Exam | 期末考试

English Original

One night, Jack Evans and his three university friends went out drinking until late, as many students do, and neglected to study for their test scheduled for the next day.

In the morning, they devised a plan. They smeared grease and dirt on themselves to look as disheveled as possible.

They approached the dean and explained they had attended a wedding the previous night. On their return, they claimed a tire on their car had burst, forcing them to push the vehicle all the way back, leaving them unfit to take the exam.

The compassionate dean granted them permission to take the test after three days. The students gratefully accepted, assuring him they would be ready.

On the appointed day, they returned. The dean informed them that, as this was a special test, all four would need to sit in separate classrooms.

They agreed, confident after three days of preparation. The exam paper, titled MID SEMESTER COURSEWORK EXAMINATION, consisted of five questions totaling 100 points.

INSTRUCTIONS:
All questions are required. Any inconsistencies in the answers among the four students will result in a zero mark for all candidates.

  1. Write down your name. (2 POINTS)
  2. Write the names of the bride and groom at the wedding you attended. (30 POINTS)
  3. What type of car were you driving? (20 POINTS)
  4. Which tire burst? (28 POINTS)
  5. Who was driving? (20 POINTS)

中文翻译

一天晚上,杰克·埃文斯和他的三位大学朋友像许多学生一样外出喝酒到深夜,完全忘记了为第二天的考试复习。

第二天早上,他们想出了一个计划。他们用油脂和污垢把自己弄得尽可能的肮脏和狼狈。

他们去找院长,解释说前一天晚上去参加了一场婚礼。在回来的路上,他们声称汽车的一个轮胎爆了,不得不一路把车推回来,因此状态不佳,无法参加考试。

富有同情心的院长同意他们三天后再参加考试。学生们感激地接受了,并保证届时会准备好。

到了约定的日子,他们回来了。院长告知,由于这是一场特殊考试,他们四人需要在不同的教室进行。

他们同意了,对过去三天的准备充满信心。试卷标题为期中课程作业考试,包含五道题,总分100分。

考试说明:
所有题目必须作答。四位学生答案中任何不一致之处将导致所有考生得零分。

  1. 写下你的名字。(2分)
  2. 写出你参加的婚礼中新郎和新娘的名字。(30分)
  3. 你们当时开的是什么类型的车?(20分)
  4. 哪个轮胎爆了?(28分)
  5. 当时是谁在开车?(20分)
