In 1905, However, he was to publish a theory which stands as one of the most intricate examples of human imagination in history. __3__. Everything else – mass, weight, space, even time itself – is variable.
3. F。分析:空格后句说“其余的任何东西—质量,重量,空间,甚至时间都会发生变化。”结合被选项判断F合适:F中谈到只有光速是宇宙中的常数。言外之意其他的东西都会发生变化,这与空格后的句意一致。
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.

4. A。分析:借助空格后的句意 –人们不太相信绝对的东西,不仅对时间和空间的绝对性提出了质疑,而且对(以往所接受的)真理和道德也提出了质疑。
B How he thought of the relativity theory influenced the general public’s view about Albert Einstein.
D Roosevelt heeded (留意)the advice and formed the “Manhattan Project” that secretly developed the first atomic weapon.
Einstein’s famous equation was also the seed that led to the development of atomic energy and weapons. In 1939, six years after he fled European fascism and settled at Princeton University, Einstein, an avowed Pacifist, signed a letter to president Roosevelt urging the United States to develop an atomic bomb before Nazi Germany did. __5__ Einstein did not work on (继续这个计划的工作)the project.
