Stephen Hawking, who was born on 8 January 1942 and died on 14 March 2018, knew what he wanted to do by the time he was eight years old. His parents lived in London where his father was undertaking research into medicine. He did not want to follow his father as his parents hoped. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did physics instead. Stephen was interested in studying the universe.
But when he was 21, he was told that he had ALS — an incurable nerve disease, which affects walking, speaking, breathing, swallowing, etc. The doctors predicted that he had only a few years to live. “The doctors' grim (残忍的) prognosis (预测) made me determined to get the most from a life I had previously taken for granted and life was no longer boring for me，” Hawking said.
He didn't die. Instead, as his physical condition worsened, Hawking's reputation in scientific circles grew. Hawking himself acknowledged his disease as being a crucial factor in focusing his attention on what turned out to be his real strength: theoretical research.
In 1988, Stephen Hawking published a book called A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes. The book tries to explain many of Hawking's physical and mathematical ideas and calculations without using maths. The book became a best seller and his later books, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays and most recently in 2001, The Universe in a Nutshell. Of the three, the first one was made into a film in 1991.
Hawking said, “You have to be positive if you're to get much sympathy or help. Nowadays, muscle power is obsolete. What we need is mind power — and disabled people are as good at that as anyone else.”

It was September 5, 2009. Lexi Youngberg, then 16, was on vacation in Spring Lake, Michigan. She was riding on a small boat with her friends, Robby and Kaitlin, when a motorboat crashed into them. The sound was so loud that other boaters heard it over the roar (轰鸣声) of their engines. The teen boy who had been driving the motorboat stepped on the gas by mistake. Kaitlin, 23, had only small cuts, but Robby, 15, had been badly cut by the propeller (螺旋桨). And Lexi was floating facedown in the water. When one boater swam to Lexi, she was breathing. However, she was unconscious. She had a deep cut on her head. And the lower part of her left leg, just below the knee, was gone. A doctor rode up in another boat and tried to save Robby, but it was too late.
For Lexi, the good news is that she survived while the bad news is that she lost one of her legs forever. When Lexi looked at her swollen leg, she felt hopeless. But as time passed, Lexi began to feel stronger. She was grateful that her life had been spared, and she decided to make the most of it. At the end of November 2009, Lexi met with Dr. John Hardy, who was an expert at making artificial legs. She hoped he would help her get back to doing the things she loved.
Three years after the accident, Lexi moved on with her life. In spring 2011, she joined a soccer team in her school. That fall, she started college. Lexi is thankful that she can still do the things she loves. One day, she wants to be a physical therapist (理疗师) and work with those with disabilities. But first she plans to compete in the Paralympics. Whatever Lexi decides to do, one thing is certain: Nothing is going to get in her way.

Archery (箭术) is one of the oldest sports that are still being practiced today. The bow and arrow dates as far back as the Old Stone Age, and is the most widely used weapon (武器) in human history.
While there is recorded evidence of archery competitions taking place in China more than 3,000 years ago, the modern sport of archery most likely originated in England during the 14th century. Then the sport began to develop fast and there were a few different styles of shooting, some of which developed into what we see today in the sport of archery.
There was clout shooting, in which arrows were held high into the air with the purpose of hitting a target which was laid flat, not vertical. The aim was to land the arrow as close to the target as possible. This variety of shooting is still practiced today, often with traditional bows.
“Roving marks”， another style, saw players shooting at a target, only to shoot at a new target from the location of the previous target. It is said that this is the oldest form of competitive archery, and was practiced by Henry Ⅷ. Finally, there was butt (靶垛) shooting, in which butts held targets, which the players would shoot at. This is the ancestor of modern day Olympic target shooting.
Archery was a part of the second Olympic Games, which was held in 1900. It was dropped after 1920, however, because rules varied too much between nations. Archery was brought back into the Olympics in 1972. This was after enough nations had formed archery governing bodies affiliated (隶属) with the Fédération Internationale de Tir l'Arc, which was founded in Paris in 1931, to standardize rules for international competitions.
From its early history to modern times, archery has always been a competitive sport. Surely, many years from now archery will continue to be a popular sport reaching across age gaps and national borders, uniting archery lovers from all over the world.

A．was already very common in the Old Stone Age
B．could be seen around Europe in the 14th century
C．was recorded as a sport in China over 3,000 years ago

8．The underlined word “originated” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”．
A．started B．settled
C．changed D．continued
9．What can we learn about clout shooting
A．It can not be seen nowadays any more.
B．It is the oldest form of competitive archery.
C．Arrows have to land on the centre of a target.
D．Players should shoot at a target that lies down.
10．What would be the best title for the text

Stephen Hawking, who was born on 8 January 1942 and died on 14 March 2018, knew what he wanted to do by the time he was eight years old. His parents lived in London where his father was undertaking research into medicine. He did not want to follow his father as his parents hoped. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did physics instead. Stephen was interested in studying the universe.
But when he was 21, he was told that he had ALS — an incurable nerve disease, which affects walking, speaking, breathing, swallowing, etc. The doctors predicted that he had only a few years to live. “The doctors' grim (残忍的) prognosis (预测) made me determined to get the most from a life I had previously taken for granted and life was no longer boring for me，” Hawking said.
He didn't die. Instead, as his physical condition worsened, Hawking's reputation in scientific circles grew. Hawking himself acknowledged his disease as being a crucial factor in focusing his attention on what turned out to be his real strength: theoretical research.
In 1988, Stephen Hawking published a book called A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes. The book tries to explain many of Hawking's physical and mathematical ideas and calculations without using maths. The book became a best seller and his later books, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays and most recently in 2001, The Universe in a Nutshell.

Archery (箭术) is one of the oldest sports that are still being practiced today. The bow and arrow dates as far back as the Old Stone Age, and is the most widely used weapon (武器) in human history.
While there is recorded evidence of archery competitions taking place in China more than 3,000 years ago, the modern sport of archery most likely originated in England during the 14th century. Then the sport began to develop fast and there were a few different styles of shooting, some of which developed into what we see today in the sport of archery.
There was clout shooting, in which arrows were held high into the air with the purpose of hitting a target which was laid flat, not vertical. The aim was to land the arrow as close to the target as possible. This variety of shooting is still practiced today, often with traditional bows.
“Roving marks”， another style, saw players shooting at a target, only to shoot at a new target from the location of the previous target. It is said that this is the oldest form of competitive archery, and was practiced by Henry Ⅷ. Finally, there was butt (靶垛) shooting, in which butts held targets, which the players would shoot at. This is the ancestor of modern day Olympic target shooting.
Archery was a part of the second Olympic Games, which was held in 1900. It was dropped after 1920, however, because rules varied too much between nations. Archery was brought back into the Olympics in 1972. This was after enough nations had formed archery governing bodies affiliated (隶属) with the Fédération Internationale de Tir l'Arc, which was founded in Paris in 1931, to standardize rules for international competitions.
From its early history to modern times, archery has always been a competitive sport. Surely, many years from now archery will continue to be a popular sport reaching across age gaps and national borders, uniting archery lovers from all over the world.
