So she always took it with her whenever she went to look for cloth for curtains.In one shop she showed the shopkeeper the comb and then looked at various cloths for curtains for half an hour with him, until he got tired and said to her, “Madam, wouldn’t it be easier just to buy some cloth you like, and then find a new comb to go with t hat?”71.

An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(同一性) of time and space and so on –but even ordinary men now understandthat the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by World War I.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I, honors were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whiem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble(谦卑的) manner. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany till the rise of Naziism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.76. The main idea of the first paragraph is __________.A.the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to othersB.the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC.the difference between science and historyD.the change in human though produced by Einstein77. It seems to the American university president that __________.A.Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in historyB.Ever ybody understands Einstein’s scientific ideasC.The new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyoneD.Our ideas about the universe are different today from those in the past becauseof Einstein78. Between 1914 and 1918 Einstein __________.A.received world-wide praiseB.had no chances for studyC.almost did nothing in his officeD.still continued his scientific research79. Einstein did his greatest work __________.A. when Naziism roseB. when he was youngC. during World War ID. after he left Europe80. From the passage we can know that __________.A.Germans usually have a high respect for scienceB.Einstein had other interests besides scienceC.Einstein was forced to work again in 1918D.Einstein led a quiet life during World War I(C)London’s Underground, the tube is the quickest way of getting about London. The fares used to be expensive, but then they were cut, and now far more people are using the tube than ever before.The movement of trains is coordinated(协调) in the Central Control room near Eustom Station. The Line Controller’s job is to keep the service as close as possible to the timetable. Many things can go wrong on such a large network, there are closedowns,accidents and so on.The main criticism o f passengers is that the trains don’t run late enough at night, and don’t reach far enough out of London, but, on the whole, most passengers are happy with the service.A regular feature of the London Underground is the presence of musicians, playing guitars and other instruments, hoping for money from passing travelers. They are called “buskers”, and what they do is illegal(不合法的).Gavin, who plays the clarinet (单簧管)，explains that the law against busking（街头卖艺）dates back to the 1950s. He can’t see any reason why buskers should be stopped, and he thinks that passengers like them, I think that most people would rather hear music than walk into a tunnel which is dim and cold and empty!81.
