【答案与解析】
1. B。句子中含有具体的表示过去的时间(1921)时，要用一般过去时。
2.C。本句的意思是：他不计较钱，生活简朴。care是个不及物动词，要与后面的介词构成短语后才能接宾语，这四个选项中，只有about和for能与 care 构成固定搭配。care about是“担心，介意”的意思，care for是“计较”的意思。
3. C。该题用语法分析法。动词visit后面的宾语补足语，要用带to的动词不定式。
4. C。根据下文的 The train arrived, but he… 可知此处应填 railway station。
5. D。根据下文“欢迎委员会没有别的选择，只好向王后如实汇报”，就能推测出没有接到爱因斯坦，也就是“到处都没有”。
6. A。接不到爱因斯坦王后不会“满意”，更不会“快乐”和“感兴趣”，只能是“担心”爱因斯坦的安全。
7. B。根据上句的语境“担心爱因斯坦的安全”，自然就会命人到处“寻找”。find 是“找到”的意思，find out是“发现，查明”的意思，look after是“照料”的意思，只有look for才是“寻找”的意思。
8. C。上文“到处寻找”，下文自然要点明所在的地方“在哪儿”。
9. D。从爱因斯坦的回答“我认为步行比乘公共汽车更有利于健康”可推测出王后问的是“为什么……”。
10. B。此处指“爱因斯坦微笑着回答”。with a smile是个固定表达方式，意思是“面带微笑”。
