Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein. His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy and gravity. Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy, even television as a practical application of Einstein's work. In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. In 1905, at age 26, he published the first of five major research papers. The first one provided a theory explaining Brownian movement, the zig- zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension. The second paper laid the foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. In it he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy, called quanta or photons, that have some of the properties of particles and some of the properties of waves. A third paper contained the "special theory of relativity" which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe. The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. Here Einstein presented his famous formula, E = mc2 , known as the energy mass equivalence. In 1916, Einstein published his general theory of relativity. In it he proposed that gravity is not a force, but a curve in the space-time continuum, created by the presence of mass.
Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the exalting of one nation above all others. He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism, the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they denounced his ideas. He then moved to the United States. In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom. Einstein wrote to President Franklind. Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb. He suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research. Question 23: The word "entirely" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A. partly B. completely C. quickly D. slowly Question 24: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2? A. At the age of 26, Einstein published five important research papers that had a significant impact on the field of physics. B. In 1905, Einstein published a series of groundbreaking papers on various scientific topics. C. Einstein's work in 1905 focused on atomic theory and the movement of particles in suspension. D. At 26, Einstein contributed to the development of the photon theory and Brownian motion theory. Question 25: The word "denounced" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ________. A. supported B. ignored C. criticized D. praised Question 26: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement or characteristic of Albert Einstein? A. Publishing important papers on atomic theory B. Developing the special theory of relativity C. Opposing nationalism and supporting Zionism D. Creating a theoretical model for the development of atomic weapons Question 27: The word "he" in the sentence "He then moved to the United States" in paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. President Franklin D. Roosevelt B. A German chemist C. Albert Einstein D. A member of the Nazi Party Question 28: Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage? A. Einstein was opposed to war and violence, as well as the political ideologies of the Nazis. B. Einstein's theories on relativity were not widely accepted during his time. C. The United States developed the atomic bomb due to Einstein's letter to Roosevelt. D. Einstein was a supporter of nationalism and the exalting of one nation above all others. Question 29: In which paragraph does the author explain Einstein's scientific contributions in relation to the atomic bomb? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 Question 30: In which paragraph does the writer discuss Einstein’s opposition to nationalism and war? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40. Stephen William Hawking (1942 - 2018) was a famous physicist, cosmologist and great author. Despite suffering from physical disabilities, he overcame lots of obstacles to become a great scientist. Born as a healthy child in Oxford, England, Stephen had a normal childhood. Despite having low grades in most subjects at school, he dreamt of going to university. Years later, he realised his dream with a first-class Bachelor’s degree in Physics at Oxford University and then pursued a PhD in Cosmology at Cambridge University. Unfortunately, by the time he completed his PhD in 1966, he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a kind of neurological disease that made him unable to use his muscles the same as normal people. Despite his severe physical disabilities, Stephen managed to fulfil his ambitions and significantly contributed to modern science. In 1974, Stephen proposed that black holes emit radiation, which is now known as Hawking radiation, a groundbreaking idea that challenged other existing theories. Being unable to write or speak properly, Stephen had to speak through a portable computer that was modified to fit his wheelchair. That computer helped him write lots of books, one of which was “A Brief History of Time” published in 1988, which featured scientific concepts of the universe. Stephen also appeared on lots of TV programmes, explaining complicated concepts to TV viewers in simple ways, which made him popular outside his academic community. Fc. One of the greatest lessons that people can learn from Hawking might be his will to survive. A disabled person diagnosed with ALS was thought to be able to survive another 4 years, % but Stephen managed to survive
