4. A. So　　　　　　 B. Instead　 C. Therefore D. And

答案: B　 指导：instead of在这里相当于instead of getting a job as a physics professor，此处表示爱因斯坦并没有放弃，而是更加努力。表示“没有…而…”只能用instead，其他不合逻辑。注意这是高考完形填空的常没考点。

3. A. science　　　　 B. maths　　 C. physics　 D. money

答案: C　 指导：relative to在这里是“与……有关”的意思。Einstein没能找到做物理教授的工作，他觉得自己不适合物理方面的工作。由常识可知，爱因斯坦从事的是物理方面的工作，而不是其他方面。

2. A. unable　　　　 B. able　　 C. unwilling D. anxious

答案: A　 指导：从下文的"Well，I just don't have the work relative to 3(physics)，I should give up on it ．．．”得知，Albert Einstein起初没有得到物理教授的工作，因此用was unable to．其他选项“不乐意”、“非常急切”都不符合题意。

1. A. full-time　　　 B. hard　　 C. easily　　 D. part-time　

答案: D　 指导：联系全句，可知作者在此谈论尽早做自己喜欢做的工作的必要性。A项有一定的干扰性，从第二段作者所　 举的例子(一个想成为艺术家的人)我们可以看出，作者认为无论是兼职，还是不拿报酬做自己喜欢的工作都是有必要的。前面有“即使没有报酬”作为信息提示，因此只能是“兼职的、业余的”。

20. A. it　　　　 B. he　　　　 C. they　　　　 D. you

答案: C　 指导：they指的是driving on a highway and living one's life这两件事情。其他代词指代不对。
