问题     Charles Steinmets, at the age of twenty - seven, was already famous as an electrical genius and was becoming known as a warm - hearted, unusual character. One bitter winter day, an electrical engineer entered Charles’ small laboratory to discuss a problem. He found the youthful scientist working in an overcoat, fur cap and boots, his hands blue with cold. The engineer could not resist asking Charles why he hadn’t built a fire. Charles replied that a mouse had babies in his stove and they were not old enough to move.
    Born in Germany over a century ago, Charles specialized in mathematics, chemistry, and electrical engineering. In 1889 he emigrated to the United States and found work in a factory located in Yonkers, New York. Although he was offered an important job by the General Electric Company he decided not to accept it. Soon however, the General Electric Company purchased the company in Yonkers where Charles worked. He then moved to Schenectady, New York, and continued his experiments. Out of his laboratory came many experimental discoveries and over two hundred patents. A-round that time electricity was used only as direct currents, flowing in one direction. It could not be sent more than several miles from the generator that supplied the power. The experiments that Charles conducted helped the electrical industry move forward in giant strides. One of his major contributions was the simplification of alternating current. In addition to his books on the theory of alternating current , he was also known for studies of lighting.
What do you think the other people in Charles’s life thought of him as a person?
选项 A、An eccentric, difficult person who cared only for his friends.
B、An intelligent, admirable person who cared for all human life.
C、A man went all out to gain all the status he could from his talent.
D、A quite hard - working old man just trying to do his work.
答案B
解析 推论题。本题问你认为查尔斯生活中的其他人会怎么看待他这个人。根据文章第一节即可知人们对他的评价，故选B。一个聪明值得人们崇敬的关心全人类生活的人。其它选项均与文中所说内容不符。选项A中的“古怪、难处，只关心他的朋友”，显然不符合文中所说。选项C中的“利用自己的天赋全力为自己谋取一切地位”，显然也不符合文中所说。选项D中的“一个沉默寡言勤奋工作努力做研究的老人，显然更不符合文中所说。
