World famous physicist(物理學家) Stephen Hawking died peacefully at his home in Cambridge on March 14th, 2018.

Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8th, 1942. He went to school in a small city near London. As he himself admitted, he wasn’t very serious about studying. He did very little work, he was never top of his class. However, he still achieved good marks. After leaving school, Hawking first went to Oxford University to study physics. Then he went to Cambridge University to study cosmology(宇宙學).

At the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn’t communicate except by blinking(眨眼). He sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chose his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音響合成器). “I’ve had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said, “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”

Although Hawking was a disabled man, he made great achievements. He received many awards and prizes for his work, including the Albert Einstein Award—the highest achievement in physics.

Hawking worked at Cambridge University as a professor. His story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair." he once said, "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

【解析】試題本文是一篇人物小傳，簡要介紹了霍金身殘志堅、取得諸多成就的傳奇一生，啟發(fā)人們身處逆境也不要放棄希望，要像霍金一樣盡最大的努力去工作學習。

【1】題意：史蒂芬·霍金什么時候去世的？考查細節(jié)理解題。根據第一句World famous physicist Stephen Hawking died peacefully at his home in Cambridge on March 14th, 2018.，可知選B。

【2】題意：在倫敦附近的一個小城市學習期間，我們知道 。考查細節(jié)理解題。A. Stephen Hawking was the best student of his class史蒂芬·霍金是班上最好的學生。B. Stephen Hawking didn’t work hard at his lessons史蒂芬·霍金沒有認真學習功課。C. Stephen Hawking began to study cosmology史蒂芬·霍金開始研究宇宙學。根據As he himself admitted, he wasn’t very serious about studying. He did very little work, he was never top of his class.，可知他對學習不是很認真，故選B。

【3】題意：史蒂芬·霍金21歲時發(fā)生了什么事？考查細節(jié)理解題。A. There was something wrong with his head他的頭有點不對勁。B. He couldn’t even blink to communicate except by moving fingers除了動手指，他連眨眼都不眨。C. He could neither talk nor move他既不會說話也不會移動。根據At the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn’t communicate except by blinking. 他不能移動和說話了，可知選C。

【4】題意：史蒂芬·霍金生病后是怎么和別人交流的？考查細節(jié)理解題。根據To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chose his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer.他利用音響合成器和別人交流，可知選C。

【5】題意：為什么Stephen Hawking在他的工作中如此成功？考查文意理解題。根據作者的議論和霍金的話His story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair." he once said, "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."，結合霍金和命運抗爭的事實，可知選A。
