【1题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:在医院期间,他阅读了阿德伯特·爱因斯坦的书,并对物理学产生了兴趣。根据上文的While in the hospital, he read Adlbert Einstein’s books可知,此处介绍过去发生的事情,所以需要用一般过去时。主语he和谓语动词become是主动关系。故填became。
【2题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:高中时,他的物理成绩从来没有名列前茅,但他先后就读于东京大学和罗切斯特大学,并在那里获得了博士学位。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,先行词the University of Rochester在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句。故填where。
【3题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:最重要的是采取积极的学习态度。分析句子结构可知,此空为主语从句的谓语动词。根据下文is以及句意可知,此处陈述客观事实,需要用一般现在时。在主语从句中,What作主语,所以谓语用单数。count表示“重要”时是不及物动词,没有被动。故填counts。
