Einstein, known as a famous physicist, went to Gottingen to give a lecture at the (26) invitation of the mathematical physicist David Hilbertin 1915. He was particularly (27) for this visit because it would give him a golden opportunity to explain the intricate relativity to him. The visit turned (28) a great success, and he told one of his friends excitedly that he had convinced Hilbert of the theory of relativity.Amid all of Einstein’s personal worries at that time, a new scientific (29) would emerge. He was trying his utmost to find the right equations that would (30) his new concept of gravity, ones that would (31) how objects move (32) space and how space is bent by objects. By the end of the winter, he was (33) to find out the mathematical approach he had been pursuing (34) almost three years was incorrect. And now there was a fierce (35) Einstein discovered that Hilbert had (36) theories from Einstein’s lecture and would come up (37) the correct equations first.It was an arduous task at that time. Although Einstein performed better in physics than Hilbert, Hilbert was the better mathematician. So later Einstein (38) himself to (39) after equations, proofs, and (40) so that he could return to an earlier mathematical strategy and give as lectures to Berlin’s Prussian Academy of Sciences.His first lecture (41) on Nov. 4, 1915, and he explained his new approach during the lecture, (42) he admitted he did not yet obtain the precise mathematical formulation. Einstein was also (43) engaged in revising his equations to compete with Hilbert. Worried (44) being scooped(抢先) ,he sent a copy of his lecture to Hilbert. "I am curious to know whether you will make use of this new solution," Einstein noted with a touch of (45) 41().

A pretty important role, Peter. What sort of protest would you organizeM: Well, recently we’ve been involved in anti-nuclear campaigns. I, personally arranged for the demonstration against radioactive waste dumping in the Atlantic Ocean. We’ve got a few small Green Peace boats that we harass the dumping ship with.W: Say Hold on, Peter. I thought you said your organization was non-violent. What do you mean by "harass"M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea. We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop.

听下面一段对话,回答第22至第25题。In January 1989, the Community of European Railways presented their proposal for a high speed pan-European train network extending from Sweden to Sicily, and from Portugal to Poland by the year 2020. If their proposal becomes a reality, it will revolutionize train travel in Europe. Journeys between major cities will take half the time they take today. Brussels will be only one and a half hours from Paris. The quickest way to get from Paris to Frankfurt, from Barcelona to Madrid will be by train, not plane. When the network is complete, it will integrate three types of railway line: totally new high speed lines with trains operating at speeds of 300 kilometers per hour, upgraded lines which allow for speeds up to 200 to 225 kilometers per hour, and existing lines for local connections and distribution of freight. If business people can choose between a three-hour train journey from city-center to city-center and a one-hour flight, they’ll choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won’t go by plane any more. If you calculate flight time, check-in and travel to and from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic jams or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first. Since France introduced the first 260-kilometer-per-hour high speed train service between Paris and Lyons in 1981 , the trains have achieved higher and higher speeds. On many routes, airlines have lost up to 90% of their passengers to high speed trains. If people accept the Community of European Railways’ plan, the 21st century will be the new age of the train. What will take place when the proposal becomes a reality().
A. Passengers in European airlines will greatly decline
B. Europeans will pay less for traveling
C. Traveling time by train between major European cities will be cut by half
D. Trains will become the most convenient means of travel in Europe
