三、阅读理解Passage 1Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on — but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism (纳粹主义) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.21.The first paragraph is mainly about _____.A.a new outlook of the universeB.the feelings of an American college presidentC.the change in human thought caused by EinsteinD.the difficulty in teaching Einstein's theory解:C[解析]本题是主旨题第⼀段的主题句是第⼀句“Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history”表明爱因斯坦对科学和历史都有极⼤的影响,⽽第⼆句说明了爱因斯坦使⼈们对世界观,对宇宙有了⼀个新的认识。

In some cases, instead of giving a formal definition or explanation, the author may cite an example which is sufficient to throw light on the meaning of the term, e.g.Many United Nations employees are polyglots.

What contextual clues do you often use to help you in guessing the meanings of new words?Demonstrate these clues with examples. 8.2.3-157答案:Context clues vary a great deal but can be summed up as follows:(1) Definition . Often we find that the author gives formal definition immediately after the new term, e.g.Perhaps the most startling theory to come out of kinesics, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Bird- whistell.(2) Explanation.If the concept is complicated and must involve technical terms in its definition, the author might explain the idea in simple words. That is, he might make a restatement in known words e.g.It's just one more incredible result of the development of microprocessors—those tiny parts of a computer commonly known as ‘silicon chips,.(3) Example. In some cases, instead of giving a formal definition or explanation, the author may cite an example which is sufficient to throw light on the meaning of the term, e.g.Many United Nations employees are polyglots. Ms. Mary, for example, speaks five languages.V. Analyze and comment on the following. Write your answers in the space given below. ( 20% )50.
