magination.Helovedwatchingthingscarefullyandaskingalotofquestionsaboutthem.Hisquestionswereoftenhardtoanswerforteachers.”可知，愛因斯坦總是對周圍的事情感興趣，并且充滿了想象力。他喜歡認(rèn)真地觀看事物并且問許多有關(guān)的問題。他的問題對于老師來說經(jīng)常很難回答。由此可知，愛因斯坦是一個不同尋常的人，因此畫線單詞的意思是“非凡的”。故選C?！?4題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Helovedwatchingthingscarefullyandaskingalotofquestionsaboutthem.”，“Einsteinstartedschoolin1885.”，“Aftergraduation,EinsteinworkedattheSwissPatentOffice.”，“By1909,Einsteinhadbecomeatopscientist.”和“Finally,hewasawardedtheNobelPrizeforPhysicsfortheyear1921.”可知，正確的順序是a-c-e-d-b。故選B?！?5題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Scientistsstudiedhisbrainafterhisdeathtoseeiftherewasanythingspecialaboutit.”可知，科學(xué)家們對愛因斯坦的大腦很感興趣。故選C。BLookingattheundonehomeworkonhisdeskalwaysmakesDavidGreyfeeluncomfortable.Moreoftenthannot,DavidleaveshishomeworkbehindandsurfstheInternetorwatchesTVinstead,waitinguntilthelastminute.“ButthelongerIwait,”saysDavid,aged15,“themoreIworry.”Everyoneprocrastinates(拖延)becausetheywanttofeelgoodnow.Thewaytodothatistoavoidthetask.Youcanprocrastinateonnearlyanything,evenenjoyabletaskssuchasplanningavacation.“Somepeople第6頁/共16頁procrastinatecleaning.Somepeopleprocrastinatebycleaning,”saysProfessorPeterStone.Researchhasshownthatthetoptasksyoungpeopleprocrastinatearestudyingandgoingtobed.“Onebigreasonforprocrastinationisthatpeopleareafraidoffailure,ofnotmeetingothers’expectations,”Stoneadds.Somepeoplebelievethatprocrastinationwillmakethemthrive.Butresearchersdisagree.“Ididastudyseveralyearsago,askingprocrastinatorstofinishataskinacertainperiodoftime,”saysStone.“Theydidworsethannon-procrastinators:theymademoremistakesandtheytooklonger.Buttheythoughttheydidbetter.”Nomatterwhatthereasonis,procrastinationisusuallynotgoingtobegoodforyou.Forexample,bedtimeprocrastinationcanleadtosleeplessness,whichinturncancausemanyotherhealthproblems.Forthosewhoneedsomedrivetostopprocrastinating,thebestadvicemightbetotakeactionfirst.Ifyou’vebeenprocrastinatingonformingahabitofexercise,justputonyourwalkingshoes.Alittlebitofprogresswillgetyoumoving.Next,findsomethingtohelpyouremembertotakeaction.Ifyouwanttogotobedat10:30p.m.,youmightsetatimeddimmerswitchat10p.m.Whenthelightsaredimmer,you’llstartgoingtobed.Itworksformostpeople.Finally,reward(獎勵)yourselfeverytimeyoumakeprogress.Forexample,afteryou’verun3km,enjoyyourfavouriteicecream.Butbecareful:itwon’tworktheotherwayaround.16.Whatisthemainreasonforpeople’sprocrastinationaccordingtothepassage?A.Theywanttoavoiddoinghardwork.B.Theyneedtofinishthetoptasksfirst.C.Theyplantodotheenjoyabletaskslast.D.Theyareafraidtoloseandletothersdown.17.Theunderlinedword“thrive”inparagraph3mostprobablymeans.A.thinkfasterB.giveupmoreeasilyC.worrytoomuchD.workmoresuccessfully18.Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingisTRUEaboutprocrastination?A.Ithelpspeopletoavoidmakingmistakesintheirwork.B.Itisahabitthatonly
