【解析】本文主要講述愛因斯坦經(jīng)常做演講,他的司機(jī)總是坐在前排認(rèn)真聽,所以他也可以自己做演講了。有一次愛因斯坦讓他的司機(jī)替他做演講,演講非常成功。但最后一位男士問了一個(gè)很難的問題,司機(jī)急中生智,讓他的“司機(jī)”來替他回答這個(gè)“很容易”的問題。

1.做小汽車用“in a car”;做公共汽車、火車、飛機(jī)用“on a bus/train/plane”;由介詞“in”可知“in a car”,故選D。

2.“l(fā)istened to him very carefully”可推斷司機(jī)應(yīng)該“總做在前排”,故選A。

3.根據(jù)“the driver learned it well enough to give it himself”可推斷“演講是同一個(gè)”,故選B。

4.根據(jù)后面的句子“she is my wife.她是我的妻子!笨赏茢嗄俏豢腿嗽谠儐枴澳阏J(rèn)識(shí)她是誰嗎?”,故選B。

5.根據(jù)句子“he asked the driver to give the lecture for him in a small town”可推斷“愛因斯坦備被告之做一次演講”,故選C。

6.根據(jù)前后句子可推斷“當(dāng)演講結(jié)束的時(shí)候,人們熱情地鼓掌”,故選D。

7.由“asked the driver a question”可推斷“當(dāng)他們準(zhǔn)備離開演講室時(shí),一位男士叫住了他們”,故選C。

8.由“to show how easy it is, I'll ask my ___ to answer it.”可知“司機(jī)不會(huì)回答這個(gè)問題”,從而可以推斷“這是一個(gè)很難的問題”,故選A。

9.smile 意思是“微笑”;fry意思是“哭”;refuse意思是“拒絕”;jump意思是“跳”。根據(jù)句子“the question was interesting but really quite easy”可知司機(jī)應(yīng)該是“微笑”的,故選A。

10.對(duì)文章有了大概的了解可知“這次演講是由愛因斯坦的司機(jī)做的,而司機(jī)遇到了難題,他便會(huì)急中生智讓他的"司機(jī)"愛因斯坦替他來回答”,故選B。

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day the feelings were told that the island would sink, so all built boats and left, except Love. Love was the only one who stayed.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a big boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”

Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Love decided to ask Vanity(虛榮心) who was also passing by in a beautiful ship.“Vanity, please help me!”

“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage(破壞) my boat, “Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.”

“Oh…Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.”It was an elder. So thankful and happy, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.
