Unlike many scientists who work with
microscopes, telescopes or some kind of laboratory equipment to perform
experiments in order to solve problems they are working on, or find the answers
they are looking for, Albert Einstein was a different kind of scientist. He did
not perform experiments to prove his theories. He devoted his entire genius to
conceiving. (构想) and developing (推导) ideas, and then turning them into written
mathematical formulas. Some of Einstein's theories were so far
ahead of their time that they could not be tested until years later when better
scientific instruments and equipment had been invented. For instance, one theory
pointed out the existence of a certain star that nobody had ever seen. Another
predicted that an atom, then considered the smallest particle (粒子) in the
universe, was actually composed of even smaller particles. Eventually both
theories were proved to be true. Albert Einstein gave the world
many new mathematical formulas that helped explain the laws of the universe. No
one in history has done so much as Einstein to help us understand such
mysterious things as light, motion, gravity, space and
time.
单选题
Unlike many scientists, Albert Einstein made his discoveries ______.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】题干是和其他科学家不同,爱囚斯坦是______探索的。”由文章第一段“He devoted his entire genius to conceiving and developing ideas”可知他是在头脑中进行构思的,并不是通过实验。
单选题
Some of Einstein's theories could not be tested because______.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】题干是“爱因斯坦的一些理论不能得到测试因为______。”由文章第二段“Some of Einstein's theories were so far ahead of their time that they could not be tested until years later when better scientific instruments and equipment had been invented.”可知,他的理论无法被测试因为所需的工具和设备不齐全。
单选题
We owe our thanks to Einstein for three of the following except______.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】题干是“我们应感谢爱因斯坦的贡献除了第______项.”由文章最后一句话“such mysterious things as light,motion,gravity,space and time”即可得出答案。
