　　Albert Einstein, whose theories on space time and matter helped unravel the secrets of the atom and of the universe, was chosen as "Person of the Century" by Time magazine on Sunday.

　　A man whose very name is synonymous with scientific genius，Einstein has come to represent more than any other person the flowering of the 20th century scientific thought that set the stage for the age of technology.

　　"The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. The reason is not political or economic，but technological 一 technologies that flowed directly from advances in basic science. ” wrote theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking in a Time essay explaining Einstein's significance. (1)

　　Time chose as runner-up President Franklin Roosevelt1 to represent the triumph of freedom and democracy over fascism, and Mahatma Gandhi2 as an icon for a century when civil and human rights became crucial factors in global politics. 、

　　"What we saw was Franklin Roosevelt embodying the great theme of freedom's fight against totalitarianism, Gandhi personifying the great theme of individuals struggling for their rights, and Einstein being both a great genius and a great symbol of a scientific revolution that brought with it amazing technological advances that helped expand the growth of freedom. ” said Time Magazine Editor Walter Isaacson.

　　Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879. (2) He was slow to learn to speak and did not do well in elementary school. He could not stomach organized learning and loathed taking exams3 ?

　　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 a variable. And he offered the world his now-famous equation ： energy equals mass times the speed of light squared ― E = mc2.

　　(4) "There was less faith in absolutes, not only of time and space but also of truth and morality."

　　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 pacifist4，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 the project.

　　Einstein died in Princeton, New Jersey in 1955.

　　答案與題解：

　　1.C本文主要講愛因斯坦為20世紀(jì)人類科學(xué)作出的重大貢獻(xiàn)。本段是理論物理學(xué)家史蒂 芬?霍金在《時(shí)代》雜志上發(fā)表的一篇評(píng)價(jià)愛因斯坦所作貢獻(xiàn)的文章中的幾句話，他說世界 在近100年里發(fā)生的改變比歷史上任何一個(gè)世紀(jì)的改變都大得多。原因不是政治的或經(jīng)濟(jì) 的,而是基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)的發(fā)展直接引發(fā)的科技。這兩句話并未提及愛因斯坦，因此此處選C最合 適：“很顯然，沒有哪個(gè)科學(xué)家比艾爾伯特?愛因斯坦更能代表這些進(jìn)步?！眛hose在此發(fā)揮了 銜接作用。

　　2.E本段簡(jiǎn)要介紹愛因斯坦早年生平。E說：“愛因斯坦在小時(shí)候并未顯示日后會(huì)成為大科 學(xué)家的任何天賦。”后一句話實(shí)際上是對(duì)E的詳細(xì)解釋。

　　3.F本段主要介紹愛因斯坦提出的相對(duì)論。第一句話告訴我們1905年的時(shí)候愛因斯坦發(fā)表 一個(gè)人類歷史上展現(xiàn)出最具奇巧想象力的理論，第三、第四句話是具體解釋相對(duì)論，F(xiàn)說: “在他的‘特殊相對(duì)論’中，愛因斯坦描述了為什么宇宙中唯一不多的是光速?！庇纱丝磥鞦 放在此處最合適，其中constant和variable意思相反，構(gòu)成詞匯銜接(>\化01 cohesion)。

　　4.A本段是伊薩克森在《時(shí)代》雜志上的一篇文章中對(duì)相對(duì)論的深遠(yuǎn)意義所做的評(píng)述,他說: “相對(duì)論間接地為道德、藝術(shù)和政治領(lǐng)域中新的相對(duì)主義的出現(xiàn)鋪平了道挺?！焙笠痪涫菍?duì)此 的進(jìn)一步解釋。 、

　　5.D本段主要講愛因斯坦與原子能和原子武器發(fā)展的關(guān)系。前一句告訴我們愛因斯坦1939 年在一封給羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)的敦促美國(guó)搶在納粹德國(guó)之前研制原子彈的信上簽了名。D說：“羅 斯福對(duì)這項(xiàng)建議十分關(guān)注，遂制訂了秘密制造第一顆原子彈的‘曼哈頓計(jì)劃’。”后一句說愛 因斯坦未參與這個(gè)項(xiàng)目，其中the project指的就是the “Manhattan Project"。
