Question

Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. he’s a world well-known on space and time. Stephen is researching some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?
Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong---- he didn’t die. He can’t walk now but he uses a wheelchair(輪椅). He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲學(xué)).
Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams(圖表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1891, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China, he impressed us with his self-confidence, humorous and witty(風(fēng)趣的) conversation.

【主旨大意】：本文是記敘文。介紹了著名的科學(xué)家史蒂芬?霍金。他從20歲的時(shí)候就得了很?chē)?yán)重的病，醫(yī)生說(shuō)他只能活兩年多，但是他奇跡般德活了下來(lái)。隨后憑借他頑強(qiáng)的毅力與聰明才智在科學(xué)領(lǐng)域獲得了一個(gè)又一個(gè)的輝煌。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題由第一段中“Stephen is researching some very big question.”可知他現(xiàn)在正在研究一些重大的問(wèn)題，這些問(wèn)題還沒(méi)有得出答案。故選C。

【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題根據(jù)短文最后一段It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 23 different language. 可知這本書(shū)在全世界很著名。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)推理  根據(jù)短文第二段中He studied math and science.與第二段中 Three years later, in 1965, he become a doctor of philosophy.可知他沒(méi)有涉及藝術(shù)。故選D。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)推理  縱觀全文可知史蒂芬?霍金現(xiàn)在牛津大學(xué)讀書(shū)而后得病然后有進(jìn)了劍橋大學(xué)，而后他又見(jiàn)到了教皇，這是在1891年，在1988年寫(xiě)了他的第一本重要的書(shū)。故選C。
