问题     In 1915 Einstein made a trip to Gottingen to give some lectures at the invitation of the mathematical physicist David Hilbert. He was particularly eager -- too eager, it would turn【B1】-- to explain all the intricacies of relativity to him. The visit was a triumph, and he said to a friend excitedly, "I was able to【B2】Hilbert of the general theory of relativity."
    【B3】all of Einstein’s personal turmoil (焦躁) at the time, a new scientific anxiety was about to【B4】. He was struggling to find the right equations that would【B5】his new concept of gravity,【B6】that would define how objects move【B7】space and how space is curved by objects. By the end of the summer, he【B8】the mathematical approach he had been【B9】for almost three years was flawed. And now there was a【B10】pressure. Einstein discovered to his【B11】that Hilbert had taken what he had learned from Einstein’s lectures and was racing to come up【B12】the correct equations first.
    It was an enormously complex task. Although Einstein was the better physicist, Hilbert was the better mathematician. So in October 1915 Einstein【B13】himself into a month-long frantic endeavor in【B14】he returned to an earlier mathematical strategy and wrestled with equations, proofs, corrections and updates that he【B15】to give as lectures to Berlin’s Prussian Academy of Sciences on four【B16】Thursdays.
    His first lecture was delivered on Nov. 4, 1915, and it explained his new approach,【B17】he admitted he did not yet have the precise mathematical formulation of it. Einstein also took time off from【B18】revising his equations to engage in an awkward fandango (方丹戈双人舞) with his competitor Hilbert. Worried【B19】being scooped (抢先), he sent Hilbert a copy of his Nov. 4 lecture. "I am【B20】to know whether you will take kindly to this new solution," Einstein noted with a touch of defensiveness.
选项 A、up
B、over
C、out
D、off
答案 C
解析 前句提到，爱因斯坦应数学物理学家希耳伯特的邀请，做了关于相对论的讲座。本句的意思是“他特别急切地向他解释了相对论的所有复杂情况——结果证明他当时这样做大过急切了”。此处考查动词短语，turn与 out 连用意思是“结果是”，符合文意。因此，C项out 正确。与其它选项搭配时分别是turn up 为“调高，出现”； turn over为“翻转，移交”；turn off 为“关掉”，均不合文意。
