【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述爱因斯坦从小就对事物很好奇，上学的时候一直沉浸在自己的幻想中，但是后来在物理上有所成就的故事。

【1】句意：对他来说，指南针不是一个玩具而是一个奇迹。

he他；him他（宾格）；they他们；them他们（宾格）。介词for后面用代词的宾格，此处指的是对于Albert Einstein来说，用him。故选B。

【2】句意：他的眼睛发亮，手在颤抖。

face脸；head头；eyes眼睛；hair头发。根据“shone”和“It was the music that moved him”可知此处指的是爱因斯坦对音乐很好奇有触动，用名词eyes。故选C。

【3】句意：他们告诉他这个男孩对学业和交朋友都不感兴趣。

good好的；used二手的；strict严格的；interested有趣的。根据“he was lost in his foolish dream”可知此处表达“对某事不感兴趣”用interested。故选D。

【4】句意：但是爱因斯坦充满了乐趣，想象着世界是一个奇妙的地方。

but但是；so因此；though尽管；because因为。逗号前后的句子是转折关系，上文描述爱因斯坦的爸爸对学校里的报告很痛心，但是爱因斯坦很开心。此处用连词but表示转折。故选A。

【5】句意：他准备在数学和物理教师岗位上工作。

helped帮助；got得到；prepared准备；replied回复。此处用动词短语“prepare oneself for sth.”表达“为某事做好准备”。故选C。

【6】句意：虽然他完成了学业得到了教师证，但是他不能得到一份工作。

unable不能的；able能够的；happy开心的；ready准备好的。句子前后是转折关系，可知此处表达的是“不能”，引出下文当了一个普通的职员，用形容词unable。故选A。

【7】句意：他们中的一些后来成为了伟大的科学发现。

brought带来；led引导；happened发生； had有。此处用动词短语led to表示“导致，引起”。故选B。

【8】句意：他不能日常散步而不会被摄影师和记者包围。

for为了；by被；with和；without没有。without表示没有……的情况，意为只要爱因斯坦出门散步就会被包围，此处使用双重否定表示肯定，故选D。

【9】句意：他只能向他们微笑，而后用自己安静的方式继续工作。

got on和某人相处，上车；went on继续；caught up赶上；ended up结束。此处用动词短语go on with sth.表示“继续某事”而不被这些记者摄影师打扰。故选B。

【10】句意：他被认为是现代物理之父。

born出生； connected连接；attended出席；regarded认为。此处用短语be regarded as表达“被认为是”。故选D。
