【解析】

本文主要讲述了爱因斯坦。对很多人来说，他的名字是“天才”的代名词。他是相对论之父，世界上最著名的科学家之一。爱因斯坦不仅仅是一位科学家。他也是一个普通人，过着丰富多彩的生活。他喜欢用小提琴演奏莫扎特，也喜欢徒步旅行和散步。

1.

句意：他就是爱因斯坦，世界上最著名的科学家之一。

teachers教师；artists艺术家；presidents总统；scientists科学家；根据下文“But Einstein wasn't just a scientist.”可知爱因斯坦不仅仅是一位科学家，所以用scientists，故选D。

2.

句意：2012年3月19日，爱因斯坦的一些个人论文和科学研究首次在网上发表。

closed关；published出版，发表；finished完成；written写；根据下文“Einstein published four important papers in 1905.”可知1905年，爱因斯坦发表了四篇重要论文，所以此处也是发表，用published，故选B。

3.

句意：他们让人们有机会更多地了解爱因斯坦本人。

career职业；change改变；chance机会；challenge挑战；根据上文提及爱因斯坦的一些个人论文和科学研究首次在网上发表，可推测出是有机会了解这个人，所以用chance，故选C。

4.

Among在……之中（用于三者以上）；From来自；Between在……之间（用于两者）；After之后；根据“Einstein published four important papers in 1905.”可知爱因斯坦发表了四篇重要论文，是三者以上，所以用among，故选A。

6.

句意：其中一篇关于光电效应的论文为他赢得了1921年的诺贝尔物理学奖。

7.

句意：它告诉我们，时间可以变慢或加速，这取决于运动物体的速度。

broken down出故障；slowed down减速；cut down砍倒；taken down记下；根据“sped up”可知是加速，与之对应的应是减速，所以用slowed down，故选B。

8.

句意：这一理论改变了人们理解宇宙的方式。

interest兴趣；way方式；mind思想；advantage优点；根据前文说到相对论，可推测出是改变了人们理解宇宙的方式，所以用way，故选B。
