UNIT 6 THE ADMIRABLE THE MAN WHO CHANGED OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE Albert Einstein, who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics，is often considered one of the smartest men who ever lived.He made numerous contributions to the world, the most well-known being the general theory of relativity and the famous formula E＝mc2.Einstein was not only a genius; he was a courageous and kind figure loved by many people. This gentle genius was born in Germany on 14 March 1879.When he was 16, he tried to enter university in Switzerland, but failed due to his low scores in the general part of the entrance exam, despite obtaining exceptional scores in maths and physics.After studying for another year, he managed to pass the exam, entering university in 1896 and graduating in 1900. After two years of looking for work as a teacher, Einstein took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent office.While working there, out of a strong passion for knowledge, he continued to study, earning a doctorate in physics in 1905. That same year, which was later recorded as a miracle year in science, he published four extraordinary physics papers.Following this, he gradually became famous throughout the world as the new Isaac Newton. After four years, he was able to quit his job at the patent office and enter research full-time at a university.In 1922, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. 词汇 积累 1.exceptional/ k'sep nl/adj.卓越的，杰出的 2.miracle/'m r kl/n.奇迹；不平凡的事 3.extraordinary/ k'str d neri/adj.意想不到的；非凡的；不一般的 4.award/ 'w d/vt.授予；奖励 n.奖，奖品 5.make contributions to为……作贡献 6.due to因为；由于 佳句 背诵 1.While working there, out of a strong passion for knowledge, he continued to study, earning a doctorate in physics in 1905.(人物介绍，状语从句的省略) 在此工作期间，出于对知识的强烈热情，他继续学习，并于1905年获得了物理学博士学位。 2.Following this, he gradually became famous throughout the world as the new Isaac Newton.(人物介绍，现在分词短语作状语) 此后，他逐渐以新艾萨克·牛顿闻名于世。 Period Ⅰ Topic Talk & Lesson 2 如何解答时间与数字题 在听力中，时间、数字和计算是听力测试中常见的题型，几乎每年都有。历年高考试题中虽然涉及数字的题目并不多，但考生的答对率却不高。究其原因，一是对数字的表达方法不够熟悉，二是对技巧的运用不够熟练。 1.试题线索 时间题的三个选项一般都是表达时刻的数字，或是星期、年、月等词，偶尔会有介词后跟数字。数字题的选项则有可能为纯粹的数字或带有货币符号的数字。 2.解题要点 一般来说，正确答案不会是直接听到的数字，而往往是在意思上与这相同或相近，或换了一种表达方式，或要求对听到的数字进行简单的四则运算。做这类题时，听清这些数字和它们之间的关系是解题的关键。这些数字之间的关系往往用“more/less, later/earlier, fast/slow, before/after”之类的形容词、副词或介词短语来表示，多为时间题。 【示例】 When did the school bus leave on Saturday A.6：30. B.8：30. C.9：00. 【听力原文】 M: Could you tell me the timetable of the school bus W：Well, the bus leaves here for ... ...
