Question

 It was well-known that Einstein was the father of the famous Theory of Relativity. But do you know it owes a great deal to Marits,Einstein's former wife?

In 1896,17-year-old Einstein went to Zurich to study physics. There he met a girl fromHungary. They studied in the same class. The same interest brought the two together and the young man fell in love with Marits. In 1903, when Einstein was 24 years old,he married Marits,who was 4 years older than he.-

After their marriage, Einstein devoted himself to the research of the great theory. To give her husband more help,Marits gave up her own work,and became a good wife and assistant. She tried her best to encourage him whenever possible and she was sure that her husband would succeed. They often discussed the theory while walking outside or sitting together in the room. They even discussed it in their letters when one of them was away from home.

In 1914，the Einstein moved to Berlin and settled there. At that time,Einstein's theory proved to be correct and he had become famous all over the world. Marits was very proud of him and his success. But it was not long before the First World War broke out. Marits as well as her two sons,who were all on holidays in Switzerland, couldn't come back to Berlin. The war not only stopped Einstein's work but broke up the warm,happy family. In 1919, Einstein and Marits had to get divorced(離婚) .

Einstein himself,however, later said that Marits was really an outstanding woman.

A篇文章主要介紹了愛(ài)因斯坦的前妻Marks對(duì)愛(ài)因斯坦的科學(xué)研究作出的杰出貢獻(xiàn)。

1.D主旨大意題。D項(xiàng)是文章的主旨，通讀全文后不難選擇答案。

2.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段中的句子The same interest brought the two together and the young man fell in love with Marits.回答了本題。

3.D邏輯推理題。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)是拆散Einstein夫婦的原因，伹沒(méi)有第一次世界大戰(zhàn)，誰(shuí)能知道Einstein能同Marits白頭偕老呢？孩子可能跟隨了母親，但這并不等于Einstein就失去了孩子。Einstein待在柏林并非是因?yàn)閼?zhàn)爭(zhēng)的爆發(fā)。所以，選項(xiàng)A、B、C均不符合邏輯。

4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。
