   An exam board delighted GCSE students after it answered its own question in a GCSE chemistry paper.


  最近参加英国普通中学教育考试(GCSE)的学生都乐了,因为化学考卷直接给出了一道题的答案。
  The AQA exam question asked students to complete the blank in the following question: limestone 1 is mostly calcium 2 __ A subsequent question read: "limestone is mostly calcium carbonate", which essentially 3 gave the answer away.
  这套由AQA机构出的试卷中,一道填空题问:石灰岩的主要成分是___ ,接下来的一道题题干为:“石灰岩的主要成分是碳酸钙”,正好是前面问题的答案。
  An AQA spokesman said: "As part of our ongoing 4 quality control checks we noticed that an answer to a one-mark question was given in a longer question later on in the paper. This shouldn't have happened, and we're sorry it did. We'll make sure it doesn't affect students' grades, but schools can get in touch if they have concerns."
  AQA官方发言人称:“我们最近正在进行的试题质检发现,有一道一分的填空题,答案在后面的题干中出现了。发生这种错误很不应该,我们深感抱歉。我们会保证此题不影响学生的最终成绩,若学校仍有疑虑可与我们联系。”
  Students on Twitter reacted with joy.
  学生们开心地在推特上分享了这件事。
