Answer 1

【答案】

【1】BA

【2】他致力于他的科學(xué)研究。

【3】21或twenty-one

【4】passed away

【5】We can learn his exploring spirit from him.

【解析】這篇短文給我們介紹了著名的科學(xué)家—霍金，他在21歲時(shí)得了一種很嚴(yán)重的病，要靠輪椅行走。但他沒有放棄他的科學(xué)研究，在1988年他寫出了著名的《時(shí)間簡(jiǎn)史》。2018年3月14日，霍金去世，他是這個(gè)世界上最偉大的科學(xué)家之一。

【1】根據(jù)1處空格的下句話After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973可知，這里提到的是在他離開天文研究所之后…，因此這個(gè)空格應(yīng)先告訴我們他在劍橋大學(xué)的天文研究所工作，故應(yīng)選B。2處的上句話說的是霍金在21歲的時(shí)候，得了一種嚴(yán)重的疾病；下句話提到He continued to do his research in the field of science他繼續(xù)他的研究，因此我們可以知道，他并沒有放棄，故應(yīng)選A。

【2】這句話中使用了短語devote…to致力于，奉獻(xiàn)于…，后面跟名詞或者動(dòng)名詞形式；scientific research科學(xué)研究。因此這句話的意思是：他致力于他的科學(xué)研究。

【3】根據(jù)短文中When he was 21 years old, he caught a serious disease.可知，霍金在21歲的時(shí)候，得了一種嚴(yán)重的疾病。因此這里填數(shù)字21或者英文twenty-one。

【4】die的意思是“死，死亡，”同義詞是pass away，意思是“去世”。

【5】根據(jù)短文的最后一句話We can learn his exploring spirit from him.可知，我們應(yīng)從霍金的身上學(xué)習(xí)他的探索精神。
