Question

Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany. As a child, he was slow to learn to talk. As a pupil, he was backward. But when he was fourteen years old, he became clever. He taught himself maths from textbooks. He studied hard because he wanted to be a physicist.
In 1901,Einstein began teaching. In 1902 he continued his studies at the University of Zurich. Several years later, he formulated(系统地阐述)his famous Theory of Relativity(相对论).To most people the law of relativity is difficult to explain. But once Einstein explained it very well to a group of young students. He said," When you sit with a good girl for two hours, you think it is only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That is relativity."
After Hitler came into power in Germany, Einstein went to America. In 1940 Einstein became an American citizen. In 1955, Einstein's life ended at the age of seventy-six.

解析试题分析：文章介绍了爱因斯坦的一生及其主要的成就
【小题1】B 推理题。根据第一段第二行. But when he was fourteen years old, he became clever.说明在14岁之前，爱因斯坦学习是很不好的，本题问的是12岁的时候，故B正确。
【小题2】A 细节题。根据第二段3,4行To most people the law of relativity is difficult to explain.说明A正确。
【小题3】B 计算题。根据第三段第二句In 1940 Einstein became an American citizen.和文章第一句Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany.说明他是在61岁的时候成为美国公民的，故B正确。
【小题4】D 推理题。根据文章第二段可知爱因斯坦详细说明了相对论，对于现在的科技做出了很大的贡献，故D正确。
【小题5】C 主旨大意题。文章介绍了爱因斯坦的一生及其主要的成就，故C正确。
