Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
In 1905, as part of his Special Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein published the point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by equation E = me 2(energy = mass times the speed of light squared). But bombs were not what Einstein had in mind when he published this equation.
In 1929, he publicly declared that if a war broke out he would “refused to do war service, direct or indirect…” His position would change in 1933, as the result of Adolf Hitler's coming into power in Germany.
Einstein's greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging that the bomb be built because some physicists feared that Germany might be working on an atomic bomb. Among those concerned were physicists Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner. But Szilard and Wigner had no influence with those in power. So in July 1939 they explained the problem to someone who did: Albert Einstein. After talking with Einstein, in August 1939 Szilard wrote a letter to President Roosevelt with Einstein's signature on it, which was delivered to Roosevelt in October 1939.
Germany has invaded Poland the previous month; the time was ripe for action. That October research of a-bomb began but proceeded slowly because the invention of the atomic bomb seemed distant and unlikely. In April 1940 an Einstein letter, ghost-written by Szilard, pressed the researchers on the need for “greater speed”.
As the realization of nuclear weapons grew near, Einstein looked beyond the current war to future problems that such weapons could bring. He wrote to his friend about his fear about the future use of the a-bomb.
The atomic bombings of Japan occurred three months after Germany gave in.
In November 1954, five months before his death, Einstein summarized his feelings about his role in the creation of the atomic bomb: “I made one great mistake in my life… when I signed a letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification---- the danger that the Germans would make them”.
（1）What can we learn about Szilard and Wigner?
A.They were not as influential as Einstein.
B.They were responsible for the invention of nuclear weapons
C.They had cheated their friend Albert Einstein.
D.They had an intention to destroy the world.
（2）We can conclude that Einstein ___________.
A.was important in the development of atomic bomb
B.was not involved in the invention of atomic bomb
C.directly participated in the invention of the atomic bomb
D.helped with the invention of atomic bomb
（3）The best title for the passage would be __________.
A.A Story of Albert Einstein
B.Albert Einstein and the Atomic Bomb
C.It was Unfair for Einstein
D.How the Atomic Bomb was Invented

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）A
（3）B
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了愛因斯坦與原子彈的故事。愛因斯坦的相對論催化了原子彈的產(chǎn)生，然而愛因斯坦本人是一個反對戰(zhàn)爭的人，但是為了對抗希特勒他致信美國總統(tǒng)讓美國制造原子彈。最終愛因斯坦預見到原子彈的威力和危害，并對致信美國總統(tǒng)讓他制造原子彈這件事感到慚愧。

⑴細節(jié)理解題。Szilard和Wigner出現(xiàn)在第三段，原文是“But Szilard and Wigner had no influence with those in power.So in July 1939 they explained the problem to someone who did: Albert Einstein. ”，他們沒有撼動掌權(quán)者，之后他們讓愛因斯坦出面。有此可知他們沒有愛因斯坦有影響力。故選A。

⑵細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Einstein's greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging that the bomb be built ”可知愛因斯坦致信美國總統(tǒng)才使得原子彈被發(fā)明，故B、D錯，根據(jù)第四段“In April 1940 an Einstein letter, ghost-written by Szilard, pressed the researchers on the need for ‘greater speed'.”可知愛因斯坦沒有直接參與，C錯。故選A。

⑶主旨大意題。本文不僅僅是講愛因斯坦的故事，原子彈也占了很大的比重，而且二者是密不可分的，故選B。
