Question

【题目】 Albert Einstein was born on 14th March,1879 in Germany. He was a special person since he was born. Einstein wasn’t able to speak a word until three. He was interested in everything and full of creative ideas. He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them. His questions were often hard to answer for teachers.

Einstein started school in 1885. Though he did well in math and science, he failed in many subjects like history, geography and languages. He was not the teachers’ favorite. He didn’t enjoy going to school. Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. He graduated as a teacher of math and physics in 1900.

After graduation, Einstein worked at the Patent (专利) Office. He spent much time studying physics. By 1909, Einstein had become a top scientist. Though he became successful in the field of science, he still put great effort in scientific research. Finally, he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.

Einstein kept at his research until he died in 1955. Scientists studied his brain after his death to see if there was anything special about it. However, there was no answer.

Today many famous scientists still think Einstein is the smartest man in the world.

Albert Einstein — the ① Smartest Man.
Early life	Being able to speak at the ② of three.
Schooling	③ a university in Zurich after finishing high school.
④ graduation	Becoming successful in the field of science.
Later life	Keeping at his research until he died. His brain — being studied after his ⑤ .

【5】death

【解析】

文章是介绍世界上伟大的科学家爱因斯坦的生平情况。

【1】根据文中Today many famous scientists still think Einstein is the smartest man in the world. 今天许多著名的科学家仍然认为爱因斯坦是世界上最聪明的人。可知人们认为他是世界上最聪明的人，而world是一个名词，所以这里应该用所有格形式修饰后面的名词Man，故答案为World’s。

【2】根据文中He was a special person since he was born. Einstein wasn’t able to speak a word until three. 他从出生起就是一个特别的人。爱因斯坦三点才开口说话。可知他三岁时开始说话，英语中表达“在……岁时”结构是at the age of，故答案为age。

【3】根据文中Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. 爱因斯坦在瑞士读完高中，进入苏黎世的一所大学。可知，这里指的是“进入大学”，英语中表达“进入”是enter，文章说的是Einstein，与enter之间是主动关系，所以这里直接用ing形式，故答案为Entering。

【4】根据文中After graduation, Einstein worked at the Patent (专利) Office. He spent much time studying physics. By 1909, Einstein had become a top scientist. 毕业后，爱因斯坦在专利局工作。他花了很多时间研究物理。到1909年，爱因斯坦已成为一位顶尖科学家。可知这里说的是他毕业之后的事情，故答案为After。

【5】根据文中Einstein kept at his research until he died in 1955. Scientists studied his brain after his death to see if there was anything special about it. 爱因斯坦一直坚持他的研究直到1955年去世。科学家们在他死后对他的大脑进行了研究，看他是否有什么特别之处。可知是在他去世后，人们对它的大脑进行研究，而空格前是物主代词his，所以这里应该填一个名词，故答案为death。
