题目

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 One day, Vinod Menon, head of the physics department at City College of New York, was going through his office mails. He opened a box, only to find $180,000 with a nameless letter and a return address. Having never seen so much money, he was too shocked to know what to do with it. City College of New York is one of the most-productive public university systems in the United States, and the physics department has played a key role. Three Nobel Prize winners in physics received their education there, and in 1921 Albert Einstein gave one of his first lectures at the Harlem campus. "Supposing that you are a bit curious as to why I am doing this, the reason is simple," the letter read. It continued to explain that many years before, its generous writer had taken advantage of the excellent educational opportunity, available (可得到的) at City College to study physics, ear a master's degree, and do a long. productive, well-rewarding scientific job. The sender wished to offer the money to poor students learning physics and other sciences. The return address was to a house in Pensacola, Florida whose owners had no idea of the money. The money was first put aside, but after the two-month-long research which had found nothing that could link it to activities which are not lawful, the leaders of the college decided to keep and make good use of the money. Dr. Menon, who grew up in India, noted that the gift would provide for two fully-funded scholarships (全额奖学金) every year for ten years, and that he would try to see it go into the hands of the students who had the fewest means-such as immigrants (移民) like him. (1) How did Vinod Menon feel at the first sight of so much money? A . Overjoyed. B . Surprised. C . Anxious. D . Calm. (2) Why does the author mention Albert Einstein in paragraph 2? A . To show Einstein was an excellent student. B . To introduce Albert Einstein to readers. C . To explain the money was from Einstein. D . To prove the college is famous. (3) What can be inferred about the sender from the letter? A . The sender is successful in some way. B . The sender lives in Florida at present. C . The sender owns a house in Pensacola. D . The sender used to do something against the law. (4) What will the college do with the money? A . Return it to its owner. B . Set up scholarships with it. C . Give it away to immigrants. D . Put it all into the bank. 答案: B D A B
