Question

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Five-year-old Albert Einstein stared at his hand as if it held magic. Cupped in his palm was a small, round instrument with a glass cover and a jiggling needle. Albert's father called it a compass. Albert called it a mystery. No matter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north. Quietly Hermann Einstein watched his son. Albert was a chubby little boy with pale, round cheeks and thick, black hair that was usually messy. His bright brown eyes were wide with discovery.

Something was in the room with him, Albert realized—something he couldn't see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Deeply attracted, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism, the strange force that made the compass needle point north. 【1】To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the compass was a miracle he would never forget.

But then Albert had always been different from other children. Born March 14，1879, in Ulm, Germany, Albert hadn't been looked like other babies. As she cradled（搖） her new son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. 【2】Was something wrong with Albert? Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Albert's head began to look right to her.

When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich，where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. Looking down at the tiny sleeping bundle, Albert was puzzled. Where were the baby's wheels? Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels.

【3】But any response at all would have delighted them. At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. Hermann and Pauline wondered why he was so late in talking. As Albert grew older, he continued to have trouble putting his thoughts into words. Even when he was nine years old, he spoke slowly, if he decided to say anything at all.

But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. Sometimes when he went hiking with his parents and Maja, he thought about his father's compass and what it had showed to him. The clear, open meadows (草地) were filled with more than the wind or the scent of flowers. 【4】The very thought of it quickened Albert's pulse.

A.Other babies didn't have such large, pointed skulls.

B.But nothing his father said made the invisible power seem less mysterious or wonderful.

C.There was so much curiosity about the world that Albert was always by himself thinking hard.

D.They were also filled with magnetism(磁性).

E.Albert was ahead of his peers in different aspects.

F.Albert's parents were amused by his confusion.

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。通過大量實例記敘艾爾伯特與眾不同之處。

【1】

通過上文得知被父親所解釋的驅(qū)使指南針工作的磁性所深深吸引�？崭窈竺嬷v述的是不像其他小孩只把指南針當(dāng)另一種玩具，而對于艾爾伯特來說是一件神秘難以讓人忘懷的寶貝�？梢酝瞥龃丝崭裉钆c磁性是一種不可見的力量，但一點也不失其神秘感和神奇感相關(guān)的事物。故填：B。

【2】

根據(jù)文意，他媽媽抱著他的時候感覺他的頭很奇特，是不是他有什么問題呢？不是，而是他的頭比普通小孩的頭要大些而已。故選A。

【3】

通過上文得知，艾爾伯特覺得妹妹很奇怪，她的輪子呢？因為他玩的玩具多半是帶有輪子的玩具，而艾爾伯特對于任何事物的反應(yīng)都會讓他的父母親高興。據(jù)此可以推出艾爾伯特的混亂不清的思想使得他父母感到高興，故選F。

【4】

當(dāng)他出去玩的時候，他想的是他父親給他講的指南針的事情和他所展示給他看的神奇之處。所以當(dāng)他看到這些鮮花時想起父親講的這些事情便心跳加速，說明這些鮮花也是充滿磁性的。故選D。
