Question

【題目】七、閱讀表達： 回答下面5個問題，每題答案不超過5個詞。

Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942．He’s 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)）. Now he works as a professor at Cambridge University．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 experience, 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．”

【解析】

這篇短文給我們介紹了著名的科學(xué)家—霍金，他的著作是《時間簡史》。霍金是一個殘疾人，他在上大學(xué)的時候，得了一種嚴重的病，導(dǎo)致他不能動。但他的疾病并沒有影響他對科學(xué)的研究和探索。

【1】根據(jù)短文開頭Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942可知，霍金在1942年出生在英國。故答案為In England.

【2】根據(jù)短文第二段However, he has a wheelchair with a special computer, with which he can communicate with others．可知，霍金通過一個特殊的電腦和其他人進行交流。故回答By using a special computer.

【3】根據(jù)短文第三段中In 1965, he got a Doctor’s Degree of philosophy可知，霍金獲得博士學(xué)位是在1965年，而由短文開頭Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942可知霍金出生在1942年，計算可知，那年他23歲。

【4】根據(jù)短文第三段Because of his serious illness, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write可知，因為霍金病得很重，所以對于他來說畫圖表或是寫字是非常困難的。

【5】根據(jù)短文最后一段From Hawking’s unusual experience, we learn that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad the situation is.可知，通過霍金的經(jīng)歷我們可以學(xué)到：不管情況有多么糟糕，我們?nèi)魏稳硕疾荒苁�去希望。這個題目的答案不是固定的，合理即可。

這篇短文介紹了著名的科學(xué)家霍金，這個人物學(xué)生們比較熟悉，對于他的故事比較了解，這對于他們理解文章內(nèi)容是有幫助的。題目是任務(wù)型閱讀，要求根據(jù)文意回答問題，以考查文章事實細節(jié)為主，答案可以在原文直接找到。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問，鎖定文中相關(guān)語句作答。注意答語應(yīng)是使用正確的人稱和時態(tài)，可以簡略回答，也可以做完整的回答。例如第3小題，根據(jù)短文第三段中In 1965, he got a Doctor’s Degree of philosophy可知，霍金獲得博士學(xué)位是在1965年，而由短文開頭Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942可知霍金出生在1942年，計算可知，那年他23歲。故回答23 years old./He was 23 years old.
