“The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. ”The reason is not political or economic, but technological – technologies that flowed directly from advances in basic science,” wrote the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking in a Time essay explaining Einstein’s significance __1__.
1. C。 分析:空格前句是长句子,但是在该句子中发现了短语结构“explaining Einstein’s significance(解释爱因斯坦的影响)”,借助这篇文章的主题—“介绍爱因斯坦”,而整个段落是位于文章的开头部分(第3段)因此判断在空格处很可能出现总结概述爱因斯坦的影响的句子,而且空格前句中有advances与C中的those advances呼应。因此判断C(很明显,没有哪个科学家能比爱因斯坦更好的代表这些科学成就)正确。
A. “Indirectly, relativity paved the way for a new relativism in morality, art and politics,” Isaacson wrote in an essay explaining Time’s choices.
B. How he thought of the relativity theory influenced the general public’s view about Albert Einstein.
D。 Roosevelt heeded the advice and formed the “Manhattan Project” that secretly developed the first atomic weapon.
E In his early years, Einstein did not show the promise of what he was to become.
F In his “special Theory of Relativity,” Einstein described how the only constant in the universe is the speed of light.
Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879. __2__ He was slow to learn to speak and did not do well in elementary school. He could not stomach organized learning and loathed taking exams.
2. E。分析:空格前后句结构都较简单—前句谈到了爱因斯坦的出生,后句谈到学习语言很迟钝,因此判断空格处应该提到有关爱因斯坦的小时候的情况,因此E(在爱因斯坦小的时候,他并没有表现出他将成为一个伟人的任何迹象。)正确。
