2023年上海公共英语考试真题卷（5）本卷共分为1大题50小题，作答时间为180分钟，总分100分，60分及格。一、单项选择题（共50题，每题2分。每题的备选项中，只有一个最符合题意） 1.Einstein, known as a famous physicist, went to Gottingen to give a lecture at the (26) invitation of the mathematical physicist David Hilbertin 1915. He was particularly (27) for this visit because it would give him a golden opportunity to explain the intricate relativity to him. The visit turned (28) a great success, and he told one of his friends excitedly that he had convinced Hilbert of the theory of relativity.Amid all of Einstein’s personal worries at that time, a new scientific (29) would emerge. He was trying his utmost to find the right equations that would (30) his new concept of gravity, ones that would (31) how objects move (32) space and how space is bent by objects. By the end of the winter, he was (33) to find out the mathematical approach he had been pursuing (34) almost three years was incorrect. And now there was a fierce (35) Einstein discovered that Hilbert had (36) theories from Einstein’s lecture and would come up (37) the correct equations first.It was an arduous task at that time. Although Einstein performed better in physics than Hilbert, Hilbert was the better mathematician. So later Einstein (38) himself to (39) after equations, proofs, and (40) so that he could return to an earlier mathematical strategy and give as lectures to Berlin’s Prussian Academy of Sciences.His first lecture (41) on Nov. 4, 1915, and he explained his new approach during the lecture, (42) he admitted he did not yet obtain the precise mathematical formulation. Einstein was also (43) engaged in revising his equations to compete with Hilbert. Worried (44) being scooped(抢先) ,he sent a copy of his lecture to Hilbert.

In Bra, thats close enough to being right on time. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin, Bra smells of roses, and leisure is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes "slow food" (the opposite of American fast food) and one of 31 Italian municipalities that have joined a sister cause, the "slow cities. " These cities have declared themselves paradises from the accelerating pace of life in the global economy. In Bra, population 27,866, the town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic. The city offers cut-rate mortgages to homeowners who do up their houses using a local butter-colored material and reserves choice commercial real estate for family shops selling handmade chocolates or specialty cheeses. And if the movement lead
