[单选题]材料题
根据下面资料，回答44-47题
ACopernicus was born in Torun, Poland, on February 19,1473. Little is known about his early life except that his father died when he was 10. An uncle adopted (收养) him, his two sisters, his brother. The uncle saw to it that the two boys received a good education. Copernicus went to the Uni-versity of Cracow. There he studied such subjects as Latin, mathematics, astronomy. It was proba-bly at that time that he changed his Polish name, Niklas Koppernigk, to the Latin form of Nieolaus Copernicus. In 1496 Copernicus went to Italy,where he spent the next 10 years studying at various universities. In Copernieus′ time people still believed that all things--the sun, the stars, the planets--moved around the earth. It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned. Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on this belief. Because the Church had long been the center of learning, the theory was also linked to religious( 宗教的)beliefs. In 1506 Copernicus returned to his homeland. A few years later he began to work for the Church. All those years Copernicus carried on his work in astronomy. He had just the most basic equipment and, like other scientists of his day, made observations with only his eyes. Still, using mathe-matics logic (逻辑), Copernicus worked out a different theory ,which held that the planets went around the sun. Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked about his theory with his friends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, appeared at the very end of his life. Copernicus saw the first copy on the day he died,May 24,1543. Which of the following is TRUE about Copernicus? 查看材料A.He had two brothers a sister.
BHe used to be called Niklas Koppernigk.
CHe lost his father soon after he was born.
DHe spent 10 years at the University of Cracow.

参考答案
答案解释：
由文章第一段第三句“．．．his two sisters，and?his brother．”可知，A项不正确，因为哥白尼有两个姐姐和一个哥哥。C项说哥白尼刚出生父亲就去世了，与文中第一段第二句“…his father died when he Was 10．”不符。由第一段最后一句“…where he spent the next 10 years stud-ying at various universities．”可知他在各所大学学习十年之久，故D项错误。由文章第一段第七句可知B项正确。
