Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on 14 March, 1879. 1 Einstein was so smart that at age 16 he wrote his first paper. However, Einstein did badly at school. 2 He ended up at college in Switzerland. His grades meant it was difficult to get a job after college, but a friend found him work finally.
Albert had a great year in 1905, publishing (发表) four scientific papers! 3 One of the things he researched was that energy and mass (质量) are different forms of the same thing. This was explained by his famous equation E=mc2. In 1909 Albert was finally made a professor at the University of Zurich. He continued improving his work, and in 1915 he published his theory of general relativity (广义相对论) .
In 1919, one of Albert's theories was proved, making him the most famous scientist alive! 4 His work changed the way we think about time and space, and also helped with developments like the television.
5 And in 1933, Albert decided to stay in the USA forever. He became an American in 1940. Sadly, Einstein's work with atoms (原子) led to the invention of the atomic bomb. Albert spent the rest of his life taking part in activities for world peace. He died in 1955.
A.Albert spent lots of time in America.
B.Einstein loved to use his imagination.
C.His work turned modern physics on its head.
D.Even as an adult, Einstein was disorganized.
E.As a child, he enjoyed solving math problems.
F.And he won the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.
G.One teacher even said he'd never achieve anything!

Ⅲ.语法填空
I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how 1 (terrible) shy I was with so many eyes fixed on me. I had no choice but 2 (prepare) for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, 3 was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part 4 (lie) in my oral presentation from my memory — for it 5 (forbid) to read from the paper.
The real moment began when I stood on the platform with my legs 6 (tremble) and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found 7 back, delivering my speech without difficulty. After 8 seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding — I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before the audience disappeared. Actually with my 9 (confident) built up, I now turn out to be a great speaker.
Looking back, I know the 10 (great) difficulty on my way to success is my fear. Overcome it and I will be able to achieve my goals.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者9岁时被要求在全班同学面前发表演讲时战胜恐惧,最终获得成功的故事。
1.terribly 考查副词。句意:你可以想象,有那么多眼睛盯着我,我是多么害羞。修饰形容词shy需用副词terribly作状语。
2.to prepare 考查非谓语动词。句意:不过,我别无选择,只能做好准备。have no choice but to do sth.是固定结构,意为“除了做某事别无选择”。故填to prepare。
3.which 考查定语从句。句意:首先,我要起草演讲稿,这对我来说只是小菜一碟,我是个好作家。分析句子可知,空格处应填入非限定性定语从句的关系词,该关系词指代前面整个句子内容,在定语从句中作主语,故用关系代词which引导。
4.lay 考查动词时态。句意:但最难的部分在于我的口头陈述,因为从报纸上读是被禁止的。分析句子可知,空格处应填入谓语动词,根据上文的“was”和下文“began”,此处描述过去,故谓语动词用一般过去时。lie的过去式为lay,表示“存在于”。故填lay。
5.was forbidden 考查动词时态语态。句意同上。分析句子可知,空格处应填入谓语动词,此处描述过去的事情,所以用一般过去时态,句子主语和forbid之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,主语为it,be动词用was。故填was forbidden。
6.trembling 考查非谓语动词。句意:真正的时刻开始于我站在站台上,双腿颤抖,脑子一片空白。分析句子可知,此处为“with+宾语+宾语补足语”的复合结构。with的宾语my legs和tremble之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作宾补。故填trembling。
7.myself 考查反身代词。句意:渐渐地,我发现自己恢复了正常,毫不费力地发表了演讲。分析句子可知,空格处应填入代词作宾语,此处指“我找回了自己”,所以用反身代词作宾语。故填myself。
8.what 考查宾语从句。句意:在似乎一百年之后,我发现我的观众在鼓掌——我成功了!分析句子可知,空格处应填入宾语从句的引导词,从句中缺少主语,故用连接代词what引导。
9.confidence 考查名词。句意:实际上,随着我的信心的建立,我现在变成了一个伟大的演讲者。根据空格前的形容词性物主代词可知,空格处应填入名词作宾语。故填confidence。
10.greatest 考查形容词最高级。句意:回顾过去,我知道在我成功的道路上最大的困难是我的恐惧。空处需填形容词作定语,修饰名词difficulty,定冠词the修饰形容词最高级。故填greatest。
