Albert Einstein(1879—1955)
Early Life
Albert Einstein was born on 14th March, 1879 in Germany. He was an extraordinary(非凡的)person since he was born. Einstein wasn't able to speak a word until three. He was curious(好奇的)and imaginative.He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them. His questions were often hard to answer for teachers.
Schooling
Einstein started school in 1885. though he did well in maths and science, he failed in many subjects like history, geography and languages. He was not the teachers' favourite. He didn't enjoy going to school. Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. He graduated(大学毕业)as a teacher of maths and physics in 1900.
Scientific Work
After graduation, Einstein worked at the Patent Office. He spent much time studying physics. By 1909, Einstein had become a top scientist. Though he became successful in the field of science, he still put great effort in scientific research. Finally, he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.
Later Life
Einstein kept at his research until he died in 1955. Scientists studied his brain(脑)after his death to see if there was anything special about it. However, there was no conclusion(结论).
Today, many famous scientists still think Einstein is the smartest man in the world.
71.Einstein loved watching things carefully and _________ about them.
72.Though Einstein _________ , he failed in many subjects.
73.Finally, Einstein won the Nobel Prize _________ in 1921.
74.Scientists studied Einstein's brain after he died so that _________ .

答案解析：
71. 根据文中“He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them.”可知，爱因斯坦喜欢仔细观察事物并就它们问很多问题，所以此处填“asked a lot of questions”。
72. 从文中“Though he did well in maths and science, he failed in many subjects like history, geography and languages.”能得出，尽管爱因斯坦数学和科学学得好，但很多其他科目不及格，故填“did well in maths and science”。
73. 依据“Finally, he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.”可知，爱因斯坦在1921年获得了诺贝尔物理学奖，“for physics”表示“为了(物理学领域)”，即获得的是物理学奖，所以填“for physics”。
74. 由“Scientists studied his brain(脑)after his death to see if there was anything special about it.”可知，科学家在他死后研究他的大脑是为了看看是否有特别之处，“so that”引导目的状语从句，这里用“they could see if there was anything special about it”符合语境。
75. 根据“Today, many famous scientists still think Einstein is the smartest man in the world.”可知，很多著名科学家仍然认为爱因斯坦是世界上最聪明的人，所以填“the smartest man in the world”。
