Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942. He is one of the most well-known scientists on space and time in the world. Hawking is researching how the universe began and how it ends. He is called the King of the Universe.

When he studied math and science at Oxford University, he became seriously ill, which made him unable to speak or breathe without the help of machines. Till now, he can’t move or feed himself and he is helped to dress, eat and wash by a nurse. However, he has a wheelchair with a special computer, with which he can communicate with others.

In spite of all these difficulties, he refused to give up his hope of living and went on to study at Cambridge University after graduating from Oxford University. In 1965, he got a Doctor’s Degree of philosophy(哲學(xué)). Because of his serious illness, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he is respected by people in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It has been sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China to give lectures. His self-confidence and humorous conversations impressed us deeply.

From Hawking’s unusual experiences , we learn that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad the situation is .As he once said, “Life is not fair, you just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

這篇短文給我們介紹了著名的科學(xué)家—史蒂芬霍金。因?yàn)榧膊∷�不能走路，甚至不能說(shuō)話，但是他從來(lái)沒(méi)有放棄生存的希望。他在1965年獲得博士學(xué)位；在1988年出版了他最受歡迎的書—《時(shí)間簡(jiǎn)史》，他是一個(gè)值得我們學(xué)習(xí)的人物。

【1】根據(jù)短文開(kāi)頭第一句話Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942. He is one of the most well-known scientists on space and time in the world.可知，霍金是世界上最著名的研究時(shí)空的科學(xué)家之一。由此可知這個(gè)題目的答案是肯定的。

【2】根據(jù)短文第二段中When he studied math and science at Oxford University, he became seriously ill, which made him unable to speak or breathe without the help of machines.可知，當(dāng)霍金在大學(xué)的時(shí)候，他得了嚴(yán)重的疾病，這種病使得他在沒(méi)有機(jī)器的幫助下不能說(shuō)話或呼吸。由此可知答案為Because he became seriously ill.

【3】根據(jù)短文第三段中In 1965, he got a Doctor’s Degree of philosophy(哲學(xué)).可知，霍金是在1965年獲得了博士學(xué)位。故答案為In 1965.

【4】根據(jù)短文第三段中Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time.可知，在1988年，霍金寫了他的第一本重要的著作《時(shí)間簡(jiǎn)史》。故答案為A Brief History of Time.

【5】根據(jù)短文最后一段From Hawking’s unusual experiences , we learn that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad the situation is.可知，從霍金不尋常的經(jīng)歷中，我們可以學(xué)到：不管情況多么糟糕，我們都不能失去希望。

這篇短文是一篇記敘文，給我們介紹了著名的科學(xué)家—史蒂芬霍金�；艚疬@個(gè)人物可能很多學(xué)生都聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)關(guān)于他的事跡，因此這些背景的知識(shí)有助于學(xué)生們對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的理解。文章敘述清晰、完整，內(nèi)容比較容易理解。題型是回答問(wèn)題，考查我們對(duì)文章細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容的理解，答案常可以在原文中找到。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文，掌握大意；然后根據(jù)題干所問(wèn)，定位到原文相應(yīng)地方，搜索信息作答。例如第3小題，題目問(wèn)的是霍金在什么時(shí)候獲得了博士學(xué)位，我們利用題干中的Doctor’s Degree of philosophy作為關(guān)鍵詞，定位到文章的第三段，就可以很快找到答案。再如第4小題，題目中的Hawking’s first important book是關(guān)鍵詞，利用它我們就可以找到這本書的名字。
