Once, Einstein gave a lecture in a university. After his speech, the audience started asking questions.

A girl asked, “Do you think you’re ________ giant of science?”

Einstein said ________ a smile, “A giant is a person who is tall in height. You see I’m so small, how can I be a giant? Maybe I see a bit farther, only ________ I stand higher!”

Then a boy asked, “You mentioned you stand higher than ________. It reminds me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps. I don’t want to ask ________ you talked, but I want to know whether you realized you have been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top.”

Looking at the boy ________, Einstein replied, “Well,________ height cannot become a top. And there is no top that no one can get to, so we don’t want to be a top, but we want to be a person to climb the top!”

Then he took up a piece of chalk and ______ on the blackboard, “Standing on the top, you are not tall, but even smaller!”

Then he said, “Though I stand tall, in the eyes of the world I’m still small! Finally, I can tell you a sentence, which was the last one I told the lady on the top of the Alps, ‘Any top can ________, for there is no giant in the world but the one ________ stands higher!’”

A storm of applause sounded. The lady who listened to Einstein’s instruction on the Alps that year was no other than Madam Curie!

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的 A、B、C 和 D 項中，選出最佳選項并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

（A）

Feeding a crowd of hundreds doesn’t make Kenny Seals-Nutt nervous.

In fact, he does well and successfully in the kitchen. He’s in his perfect place whendicingtomatoes, making salads and baking cakes.

By the time Kenny, 16, reached his third year of high school at Hickory Grove,

North Carolina, US, he had become president of his school’s cooking club. He also opened his own food company, called Modern Fusion.

Kenny said he developed his love of cooking by watching his mother, and his grandmother, who owned a catering business（飲食業(yè)）. Kenny helped them both in order to remember their tips: how long to cook chicken so it stays wet, and the right amount of tomatoes to add to the noodles or fishes.

At the age of 5, he cooked his first dish. Taking it for his school lunch, he warmed it up in the school’s microwave, while the other kids ate their sandwiches.

“I love to eat, and it started to become more fun to cook than to use a microwave,” he said.

Cooking came easy to Kenny, and he enjoyed adding new ingredients （作料） into

common dishes. “It started with a strong interest and I wanted to know more,” he said.

He began to watch the Food Network and read chef（大廚）blogs.

Last summer, Kenny put his skills to the test by working with his grandmother to cater（備辦食物）for his uncle’s wedding. While she cooked traditional dishes, Kenny wanted to add something new to them.

Now Kenny spends his weekends catering his own events: weddings, birthday parties, baby showers and so on. Kenny’s dishes are always a hit.

Chef Frederick Mookie Hicks, owner of a catering business, said Kenny’s success comes from his ability in the kitchen. Hicks said he has asked Kenny to cook with him on jobs three times now, and he presents Kenny as a positive example of a good chef to the students in his cooking classes.

“He’s so smart at cooking that he doesn’t let anything stop him,” Hicks said. “I

knew in the first five minutes of working with the kid that he is something special.”

1.What does the underlined word “dicing” probably mean?

A. Planting. B. Cutting. C. Drawing. D. Eating.

2.Which of the following best describes Kenny’s cooking?

A. Traditional. B. Creative. C. Simple. D. Strange.

3.From the last two paragraphs, Hicks implies（暗示） .

A. Kenny has a great talent for cooking

B. anybody should learn from Kenny

C. Kenny is one of his best students

D. no chefs can do better than Kenny

4.We can learn from the article that .

A. Kenny proved himself by catering his uncle’s wedding alone

B. Kenny likes to follow his mother’s recipe when cooking

C. Kenny was able to cook his first dish in middle school

D. Kenny’s success in cooking has a lot to do with his family

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Kenny, a special chef B. Kenny and his family

C. Kenny’s business D. A gift for Kenny
