Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. Unlike many scientists who work with microscopes, telescopes or some kind of laboratory equipment to perform. experiments in order to solve problems they are working on, or find the answers they are looking for, Albert Einstein was a different kind of scientist. He did not perform. experiments to prove his theories. He devoted his entire genius to conceiving. (构想) and developing (推导) ideas, and then turning them into written mathematical formulas. Some of Einstein's theories were so far ahead of their time that they could not be tested until years later when better scientific instruments and equipment had been invented. For instance, one theory pointed out the existence of a certain star that nobody had ever seen. Another predicted that an atom, then considered the smallest particle (粒子) in the universe, was actually composed of even smaller particles. ually both theories were proved to be true. Albert Einstein gave the world many new mathematical formulas that helped explain the laws of the universe. No one in history has done so much as Einstein to help us understand such mysterious things as light, motion, gravity, space and time. Unlike many scientists, Albert Einstein made his discoveries ______.
