安徽省砀山县第二中学2019-2020学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题（考试时间70分钟，满分100分）一阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共10小题：每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AAlbert Einstein (1879-1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time.Born of Jewish parents at Ulm in Switzerland and got his Ph.D. at the University of Zurich. He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism in Germany and Hitlers persecution（迫害） of the Jews.In 1905, while still at Zurich, he published his Special Theory of Relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move, a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relative to the other. From this and also from other more complicated facts, Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there is really no such thing as absolute motion. Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. By 1915, Einstein had made known his General Theory of Relativity. He also improved on Newtons theory of gravity. Most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.Towards the end of his life, Einstein was asked by a group of students to explain his complicated Theory of Relativity. He said, “When you sit with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute; but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. That is relativity.”1.

One of the conclusions drawn by Einstein is that _ A. planes can go faster than trains and buses. B. people couldnt run as fast as vehicles. C. light goes the fastest of all things. D. two trains can never go at the same time.3. Einstein added that if something such as a ruler was moving, it would seem to get shorter and shorter _ A. because the ruler itself was short.
