解析：

(1)	begin…as＝work…as根據上下文的意思，可以知道愛因斯坦開始是做數學老師的。故選擇A項。
(2)	the following year＝the next year“下一年，隨后的一年”。below側重指位置，通常作后置定語，C、D選項意思講不通。
(3)	held與前面的a position構成固定短語，意思是“擔任……職務(位)”。
(4)	根據上下文意思，應該是愛因斯坦在工作之余“寫”了三篇非凡的論文，故應該選擇C項。
(5)	on在這兒意思是“關于……”正式用語，在口語中用about“關于……的論文”。
(6)	for后面是一個介詞賓語從句，缺少主語，所以選用what。故選擇B項。
(7)	evidence for/of sth．“……的證據”，故選擇C項。
(8)	make contributions to…“對……作出貢獻”，為固定搭配，故應該選擇A項。
(9)	extend…to…“把……延伸(擴大)到，適用于……”，故應該選擇B項。
(10)	根據后面的by可以知道空上應該選用過去分詞形式，意思是：由機械力引起的加速度。故應該選擇C項 提示：
