Question

【題目】 Stephen Hawking died at the age of 76 on March 14, 2018. Hawking is known as the most famous physicist(物理學(xué)家) after Einstein.

Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on January 8, 1942. During his life, he married twice, and had three children. When he was a kid, Hawking went to school in St. Albans—a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving high school, Hawking went first to Oxford University to study physics, and then he went to Cambridge University to study the universe(宇宙).

At the age of twenty, Hawking started noticing that something was wrong with him. Later, he went to the hospital and doctors said that he would die before he was 23. But Hawking didn't give up. In 1988, Hawking completed his book A Brief History of Time. In the book, he talked about many things, like the universe, the big bang(宇宙大爆炸) and the black hole.

【解析】

本文主要是介紹了著名的物理學(xué)家霍金一生的重要時刻所發(fā)生的事情。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“After leaving high school, Hawking went first to Oxford University to study physics.”高中畢業(yè)后，霍金首先去牛津大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)物理學(xué)。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“At the age of twenty, Hawking started noticing that something was wrong with him.”霍金在20歲那年開始注意到他自己出了點問題。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Hawking is known as the most famous physicist(物理學(xué)家) after Einstein.”可知，霍金是一位非常著名的物理學(xué)家。因此選項A正確；根據(jù)“During his life, he married twice, and had three children.”可知，他一生中結(jié)了兩次婚，有三個孩子。因此選項B錯誤；根據(jù)“Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on January 8, 1942.”可知，霍金1942年出生于英國牛津。因此選項C正確；根據(jù)“Later, he went to the hospital and doctors said that he would die before he was 23.”可知，醫(yī)生說霍金在23歲之前就會死。所以選項D正確。故選B。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)“Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on January 8, 1942…When he was a kid, …After leaving high school, …At the age of twenty, …In 1988…Stephen Hawking died at the age of 76 on March 14, 2018.”霍金于1942年1月8日出生于英國牛津……當(dāng)他是個孩子的時候，……中學(xué)畢業(yè)后，……二十歲時……在1988年……霍金于2018年三月14日去世，享年76歲�？芍�，本文主要是在介紹霍金的一生。故選A。
