1．There is a story about how Albert Einstein was travelling to universities，giving lectures on his famous theory of relativity（相对论）．One day while on their way to a university，the driver said，"Dr．Einstein，I've heard that lecture more than 30times．I have learned it by heart and bet（打赌）I could give it myself．""Well，I'll give you the chances，"said Einstein，"they don't know me at the next school．So when we get there，I'll put on your cap and you introduce yourself as me and give the lecture．"The driver gave Einstein's lecture so wonderfully that he didn't make any mistakes．When he finished，he started to leave，but one of the professors stopped him and asked him a question which was very difficult．The driver thought fast．"The answer to that question is so simple，"he said，"I'm surprised you have to ask me，in fact，to show you just how simple it is，I'm going to ask my driver to come up here and answer your question．"9．The driver asked Albert Einstein to give him a chance to give lectures becauseC

分析 本文写了一名聪明的司机，因为背会了爱因斯坦的报告，假装科学家作报告并机智地解决了提问的尴尬局面．
解答 9．C 细节理解题．根据句子I've heard that lecture more than 30times．I have learned it by heart and bet（打赌）I could give it myself．我学习这个演讲超过30次，我用心学习我打赌我能自己做演讲，所以C选项符合此意．
10．D 推理判断题．在司机做完报告之后one of the professors stopped him and asked him a question which was very difficult．一个教授叫住他问了一个非常难得问题，但是被司机机智地解决了，可以推断出爱因斯坦让司机代替他作报告实际上是想取笑他的，结果出人意料，所以答案选D．
11．B 推理判断题．根据文章内容可知，作报告的只是一名司机，对于高深的科学难题是不懂的，他只是背会了爱因斯坦的报告，其实一无所知，所以答案选B．
12．D 推理判断题．根据故事内容我们可以看出这个司机是一个非常聪明的人，机智地避开了尴尬的局面，让教授和观众信以为真，所以答案选D．
