[分析]： 特定信息的找寻和判断。 关于Appleton，原文提到aged 18 he won a scholarship to Cambridge，where in 1913 he received a first-class degree in natural sciences 即他18岁那年获得奖学金进入剑桥大学深造，1913年获得自然科学学位，这与题干中obtained a degree in natural sciences from Cambridge in 1913的说法相符；原文in August 1914 saw him join the Royal Engineers； while there he was trained in Marconi’s recent invention，radio technology 即1914年8月他加入皇家工程师协会，接受训练，学习Marconi的最新发明，无线电技术，与题干one year later joined the Royal Engineers where he was trained in radio technology invented by Marconi的说法相符，因此该题的说法是正确的。[解题关键] 正确理解复杂句的内容。如本题原文介绍Appleton在剑桥大学学习情况时，使用where引导的定语从句，使有关信息充实。
