单选题 Once Einstein gave a lecture in many places in America. His driver always listened to him and knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself. So Einstein agreed that the driver gave the lecture for him.
As nobody knew Einstein there, the driver gave the lecture for Einstein that evening. At first he was a bit afraid, but Einstein's smile made him feel better. He gave a good lecture and the people were quite pleased.
Then the driver started to leave and Einstein followed him without a word. When they got to the door, a man asked the driver a difficult question.
The driver said that the question was very easy, and told the man to ask his driver behind to answer it.

单选题 The story happened in______.
A. England B. America C. Germany

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 题干的意思是故事发生在哪里，是问故事发生的地点。文中的相关细节为“Once Einstein gave a lecture in many places in America．”，即爱因斯坦曾经在美国许多地方作演讲。由此可以推断故事发生在美国，故正确答案为B。

单选题 Who gave the lecture?
A. The driver. B. Einstein.
C. Both Einstein and his driver.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 题干的意思是谁作了演讲。经过分析可以知道文中提及的报告是谁作的，虽然第一感觉应该是爱因斯坦，但是文中的相应细节为"the driver gave the lecture for Einstein that evening．”，即那天晚上司机代替爱因斯坦作演讲。故正确答案为A。

单选题 Why didn't the driver answer the question asked by the man when they passed the door?
A. Because it was too difficult for him to give the answer.
B. Because it was answered by Einstein.
C. Because it was too easy.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 题干的意思是为什么司机不回答他们经过门的时候一个男士问的问题。这需要我们根据文章细节做一下简单的推理。我们从整篇文章可以看出，the driver作演讲的原因仅仅是因为他听到的次数太多，他自己并没有高深的知识，结合以下句子“a man asked the driver a difficult question．”，即男士问了司机一道难题，可以推断问题太难，司机回答不出来，A是这个意思。B的意思是因为爱因斯坦回答了，这应该是他回答不了的结果而不是他不回答的原因。C的意思是太简单了，与文意相背。故正确答案为A。

单选题 Why didn't Einstein give the lecture?
A. Because he was too tired.
B. Because people there didn't know Einstein and the driver was familiar with the lecture.
C. Because Einstein had other things to do.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 题干的意思是问为什么爱因斯坦自己不作演讲。A的意思是爱因斯坦太累了，文中并没有提及。B的意思是那里的人们都不认识爱因斯坦而且司机对演讲的内容非常熟悉。跟文中的细节"His driver always listened to him and knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself．So Einstein agreed that the driver gave the lecture for him．”以及“As nobody knew Einstein there,…”即他的司机总是听他演讲，对演讲内容熟到他自己都可以做了，因此爱因斯坦同意司机来代他作报告。C的意思是爱因斯坦有其他的事情要做，文中也没有相关信息。故正确答案为B。

单选题 We can infer(推断) that
A. people there hadn't seen Einstein before
B. people liked the driver more than Einstein himself
C. people knew Einstein very well

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 题干要求我们根据文章内容推断。A的意思是那里的人们以前没有见过爱因斯坦。B的意思是那里的人们更喜欢司机而不是爱因斯坦本人。C的意思是那里的人们都很熟悉爱因斯坦。文中的相关细节为“As nobody knew Einstein there…”，即因为那里没有人见过爱因斯坦，故正确答案为A。
