A boy of 14 has become the youngest student to win a place at Cambridge University. Arran Fernandez, who was 16 at home by his father, Neil, will 17 a mathematics degree at Fitzwilliam College next month and he hopes to have a career as a research mathematician to 18 the Riemann hypothesis(黎曼猜想) that has confused the brightest minds. It will make him the youngest Cambridge student 19 14-year-old William Pitt the Younger studied there in 1773. Last night the child genius said: “I am looking forward to going to the 20 . I have started the first-year books 21 and it is all right, not too 22 . I can understand it. I am excited about going to Cambridge, 23 I am used to making records about being the youngest in education.

He was offered the 33 to learn at Cambridge in 2010, when he was 14, on the condition he gained an A-level in physics, which he 34 with an A+ grade. Arran had already gained an A grade in further maths last year. Cambridge also asked him to attend three GCSEs in subjects which were not related to maths and physics to 35 his knowledge. He gained A+s in English literature and French and an A in English language this summer.

本文为一篇记叙文，介绍了一位剑桥大学最年轻的高材生。
小题1:A纵观全篇可知，Arran Fernandez并没有去过学校，一直都是爸爸在家教他。此处用了被动语态。equipped“装备”；arranged “安排”；evaluated“测评”；
小题1:D 此处表示，Arran Fernandez下个月开始，将开始在Fitzwilliam College学院主修数学学位。
小题1:A他想解决黎曼猜想。work out“解决”；make out“制定出”；help out“帮助……走出困境”break out“爆发”。
小题1:C 这将会使得他成为自1773年以来最年轻的剑桥大学的学生。
