Nikola Tesla: The Inventor Who Shaped Modern Life
We all know Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but
do you know who built the electrical system that makes our
daily lives easier? That person was Nikola Tesla—one of the
greatest inventors. With more than 300 inventions, such as
wireless power, radio technology, X-ray machines, remote
controls, and electric motors, he really changed how we live today.
When Tesla was in high school, he started to love science. He watched his physics
teacher do experiments with electricity, and to him, those experiments felt like magic.
From that moment on, he wanted to learn everything he could about electricity.
Tesla had a very special skill: an amazing memory. He could remember almost
everything he saw, like whole books or pictures. After finishing high school, he went
to the Technical University of Graz. There, he studied maths, physics, and
philosophy. He was a top student—so hardworking that his teachers often worried
about his health.
Tesla's first job was in Budapest, where he worked as an electrical engineer. He
was great at his work and helped make the telephone company better. In 1882, he
moved to Paris and got a job at the Continental Edison Company. Later, he went to
the United States to work with Thomas Edison.
Tesla worked very hard all his life. Once, he even worked for 84 hours without
stopping to sleep. He could speak 8 languages and always wanted to make the world a
better place. Money didn't matter to Tesla—only science did. He believed people
should always try their best to build a good future for everyone.

A. He invented the light bulb and radio.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇人物传记类阅读理解，解题的核心思路是先明确每道题干的关键词，带着关键词回到原文对应段落定位信息，逐一比对选项和原文表述，排除明显错误的干扰项，细节题直接匹配原文内容，主旨题结合全文开篇点出的核心主题判断即可。具体思考路径：1. 做细节题时优先锁定题干对应的原文位置，不要凭常识主观选择；2. 主旨题要排除只覆盖局部内容的选项，抓住全文核心介绍特斯拉对现代生活的贡献的主线。
【解析】
46. 逐一核对选项：
选项A：原文明确说明灯泡是爱迪生发明的，特斯拉没有发明灯泡，表述错误；
选项B：原文最后一段提到"Money didn't matter to Tesla—only science did"，说明他相比金钱更在意科学，表述正确；
选项C：原文提到他的特殊技能是超强记忆力，不是擅长拍好照片，表述错误；
选项D：原文没有说明他和爱迪生一起建造了电力系统，表述错误。
因此选B。
