霍金是現(xiàn)代著名的科學(xué)家，他寫了一部著名的作品《時間簡史》。這篇短文講述了霍金第二次來到中國的杭州參加一個數(shù)學(xué)研究會，并出席新聞發(fā)布會的事情。

【1】句意：他的第一次拜訪是在十多年前。visit參觀，拜訪；book書；country國家；city城市。上句話Stephen Hawking… was on his second journey to China in Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province說的是霍金第二次來到了中國的杭州，因此這里說的是他第一次來這里的拜訪，故應(yīng)選A。

【2】句意：《大都市報》報道說，這個偉大的理論科學(xué)家被邀請到浙江大學(xué)參加一個數(shù)學(xué)研究會。study學(xué)習(xí)，研究；develop發(fā)展；attend參加；work工作。根據(jù)空后的a mathematics research institute以及下一段中he made his appearance at a press conference可知，霍金是來參加一個會議的，故應(yīng)選C。

【3】句意：星期天晚上霍金出席了在香格里拉賓館舉行的新聞發(fā)布會。made制作；held舉行；covered覆蓋；proved證明。根據(jù)空前的a press conference可知，這里應(yīng)表示舉行新聞發(fā)布會，故應(yīng)選B。

【4】句意：在電腦的幫助下，這個老人總共回答了九個問題。assistant助手；servant仆人；computer電腦；book書。霍金是一個殘疾人，他只能動兩個手指，依靠電腦的幫助來與人們交流，故選C。文章中沒有提到霍金有助手，故A不對；仆人更不可能；D選項的書不能幫助他回答問題。

【5】句意：我發(fā)現(xiàn)真正的宇宙比《星球大戰(zhàn)》中的要更有趣。dangerous危險的；dark黑暗的；terrible可怕的；interesting有趣的。根據(jù)下文I encourage young people to study theoretical physics first if they are interested in it.可知，霍金覺得宇宙是非常有趣的。故應(yīng)選D。

【6】句意：但是這個創(chuàng)造了如此豐富的作品的有天賦的人得了嚴(yán)重的運動神經(jīng)元病。he他，人稱代詞主格形式；who關(guān)系代詞，引導(dǎo)定語從句，先行詞是人；what什么，常引導(dǎo)賓語從句、主語從句等，不能引導(dǎo)定語從句。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，這里是一個定語從句，修飾名詞man，故選B。

【7】句意：我熱愛我的生活，我的家人和音樂給了我最大的快樂。greatest最大的；saddest最傷心的；worst最糟糕的；least最少的�？蘸�happiness的意思是“快樂”，故應(yīng)選A。

【8】句意：….霍金笑著說，他只能動兩根手指。hardly幾乎不；gently輕輕地，溫柔地；ever曾經(jīng)；only僅僅，只。根據(jù)句意two fingers可知，這里表示強(qiáng)調(diào)的作用，故應(yīng)選D。

【9】句意：在即將到來的這一年，他計劃給年輕人寫一本新的《時間簡史》。past過去的；good好的；old 老的；coming即將到來的。根據(jù)句中he is scheduled to write…可知，這是霍金明年的計劃，故應(yīng)選D。

【10】句意：我決定重新寫這樣所有人都能輕松地讀懂。as if 好像；as long as只要；so that以至于，為的是；even though即使，盡管。根據(jù)句意可知，空后這個句子表示的是霍金想重寫《時間簡史》的目的，故用so that引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句。故應(yīng)選C。

這篇短文給我們講述了霍金來中國的杭州參加一次會議的事情。短文內(nèi)容比較容易理解，題型是完型填空，考查學(xué)生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強(qiáng)。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀全文，了解大意；然后根據(jù)上下文的語境做題，注意辨析選項中四個單詞的意思和用法，選擇最佳答案；最后應(yīng)再讀一遍短文，檢查答案。例如第2小題，考查動詞辨析，根據(jù)空后的a mathematics research institute以及下一段中he made his appearance at a press conference可知，霍金是來參加一個會議的，故應(yīng)選C。再如第10小題，考查連詞辨析，根據(jù)句意可知，空后這個句子表示的是霍金想重寫《時間簡史》的目的，故用so that引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句。故應(yīng)選C。
