【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述愛因斯坦從小就對事物很好奇，上學(xué)的時(shí)候一直沉浸在自己的幻想中，但是后來在物理上有所成就的故事。

【1】句意：對他來說，指南針不是一個(gè)玩具而是一個(gè)奇跡。

he他；him他（賓格）；they他們；them他們（賓格）。介詞for后面用代詞的賓格，此處指的是對于Albert Einstein來說，用him。故選B。

【2】句意：他的眼睛發(fā)亮，手在顫抖。

face臉；head頭；eyes眼睛；hair頭發(fā)。根據(jù)“shone”和“It was the music that moved him”可知此處指的是愛因斯坦對音樂很好奇有觸動(dòng)，用名詞eyes。故選C。

【3】句意：他們告訴他這個(gè)男孩對學(xué)業(yè)和交朋友都不感興趣。

good好的；used二手的；strict嚴(yán)格的；interested有趣的。根據(jù)“he was lost in his foolish dream”可知此處表達(dá)“對某事不感興趣”用interested。故選D。

【4】句意：但是愛因斯坦充滿了樂趣，想象著世界是一個(gè)奇妙的地方。

but但是；so因此；though盡管；because因?yàn)�。逗�?hào)前后的句子是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，上文描述愛因斯坦的爸爸對學(xué)校里的報(bào)告很痛心，但是愛因斯坦很開心。此處用連詞but表示轉(zhuǎn)折。故選A。

【5】句意：他準(zhǔn)備在數(shù)學(xué)和物理教師崗位上工作。

helped幫助；got得到；prepared準(zhǔn)備；replied回復(fù)。此處用動(dòng)詞短語“prepare oneself for sth.”表達(dá)“為某事做好準(zhǔn)備”。故選C。

【6】句意：雖然他完成了學(xué)業(yè)得到了教師證，但是他不能得到一份工作。

unable不能的；able能夠的；happy開心的；ready準(zhǔn)備好的。句子前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，可知此處表達(dá)的是“不能”，引出下文當(dāng)了一個(gè)普通的職員，用形容詞unable。故選A。

【7】句意：他們中的一些后來成為了偉大的科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)。

brought帶來；led引導(dǎo)；happened發(fā)生； had有。此處用動(dòng)詞短語led to表示“導(dǎo)致，引起”。故選B。

【8】句意：他不能日常散步而不會(huì)被攝影師和記者包圍。

for為了；by被；with和；without沒有。without表示沒有……的情況，意為只要愛因斯坦出門散步就會(huì)被包圍，此處使用雙重否定表示肯定，故選D。

【9】句意：他只能向他們微笑，而后用自己安靜的方式繼續(xù)工作。

got on和某人相處，上車；went on繼續(xù)；caught up趕上；ended up結(jié)束。此處用動(dòng)詞短語go on with sth.表示“繼續(xù)某事”而不被這些記者攝影師打擾。故選B。

【10】句意：他被認(rèn)為是現(xiàn)代物理之父。

born出生； connected連接；attended出席；regarded認(rèn)為。此處用短語be regarded as表達(dá)“被認(rèn)為是”。故選D。
