【主旨大意】本文主要講述愛因斯坦經(jīng)常做演講，他的司機總是坐在前排認真聽，所以他也可以自己做演講了。有一次愛因斯坦讓他的司機替他做演講，演講非常成功。但最后一位男士問了一個很難的問題，司機急中生智，讓他的“司機”來替他回答這個“很容易”的問題。
小題1:做小汽車用“in a car”；做公共汽車、火車、飛機用“on a bus/train/plane”；由介詞“in”可知“in a car”，故選D。
小題1:由“l(fā)istened to him very carefully”可推斷司機應(yīng)該“總做在前排”，故選A。
小題1:根據(jù)“the driver learned it well enough to give it himself”可推斷“演講是同一個”，故選B。
小題1:根據(jù)后面的句子“she is my wife.她是我的妻子�！笨赏茢嗄俏豢腿嗽谠儐枴澳阏J識她是誰嗎？”，故選B。

小題1:由“asked the driver a question”可推斷“當他們準備離開演講室時，一位男士叫住了他們”，故選C。
小題1:由“to show how easy it is, I'll ask my ___ to answer it.”可知“司機不會回答這個問題”，從而可以推斷“這是一個很難的問題”，故選A。
小題1:A smile 意思是“微笑”；fry意思是“哭”；refuse意思是“拒絕”；jump意思是“跳”。根據(jù)句子“the question was interesting but really quite easy”可知司機應(yīng)該是“微笑”的，故選A。
小題1:對文章有了大概的了解可知“這次演講是由愛因斯坦的司機做的，而司機遇到了難題，他便會急中生智讓他的"司機"愛因斯坦替他來回答”，故選B。
