Stephen Hawking knew what he wanted to do by the time he was eight years old. His parents lived in London where his father w as 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 prognosis 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 says today, speaking from his wheelchair through a computerized voice synthesizer.
He didn’t die. Instead, as his physical condition worsened, Hawking’s reputation in scientific circles grew. Hawking himself acknowledges 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. 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 are 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 says, “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 Nowadays, muscle power is obsolete.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.”
1. What career did Hawking’s parents wish him to take up?
A. To study physics.
B. To study the universe.
C . To study medicine.
D. To study mathematics.
2. Which book of Stephen Hawking’s was made into a movie?
A. The Universe in a Nutshell.
B. Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays.
C. A Brief History of Time.
D. All of the above.
3. According to Hawking, his disease .
A. stopped him making greater achievements
B. stopped him outweighing other famous scientists
C. caused him to focus his attention on the research
D. caused him to lose the hope of life
4. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Stephen Hawking and the universe
B. The life story of Stephen Hawking
C. A disabled person worked wonders
D. Disabled people don’t lack mind power
1. C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的第二、三句话可知答案。
3. C【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段的末句可知,霍金认为正是因为他的疾病才使得他把精力放在他擅长的
领域。
4. B【解析】主旨大意题。文章中提到了霍金对于所研究领域的选择,他何时患病,患病后的态度以及所取得 的成就等,只有B项最能概括文意。
B
I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability，not a person.
Then I fainted(昏倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after first aid. I agreed to take it easy, but as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the colour burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.
I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me. As my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.
Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth.
＂Stupid kids! They have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going？＂I thought. People stared down at me，pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.
＂I’m just like you！＂ I wanted to scream. ＂The only difference is that you’ve got legs，and I have wheels.＂
People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.
5. The author once ________ when she was healthy.
A．helped disabled people
B．looked down upon disabled people
C．imagined herself sitting in a wheelchair
D．saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs
6. Facing the wheelchair for the first time, the author ________.
A．felt curious about it
B．got ready to move around in it right away
C．refused to accept it right away
D．threw it away
7. The experience of the author tells us that ______.
A．life is the best teacher
B．people often eat their bitter fruit
C．life is so changeable that nobody can foretell
D．one should not do to others what he would not like others to do to him
8. What is the best title for this passage?
A．How to get used to wheelchairs
B．People in wheelchairs should be equally treated
C．People with two legs are truly healthy
D．The difference between healthy people and the disabled
【文章大意】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾对坐轮椅的残疾人倍感同情，而当自己因为意外晕厥也坐上轮椅时，才感觉到坐轮椅的人和正常人一样，同样应受到他人的尊重。
5. B 【解析】从第一段中的＂But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair，I only saw a disability，not a person.＂ 可以看出不论作者什么时候看到有人坐在轮椅上，作者看到的只是残疾，而不是一个完整的 人。说明作者曾经对坐在轮椅上的人有偏见。look down upon意为＂看不起＂。
7. D【解析】从最后一段看出作者悟出的道理：一个人不应该做他不愿意别人对他做的事情。从＂...I was once just like them.I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated.＂可知。
8. B【解析】从作者一开始看不起残疾人到自己成为残疾人，亲身感受到残疾人的窘迫，可以看出人们不应 该看不起残疾人。尤其是从最后一句＂I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.＂可得知，有些双腿健全的人，实际上在人格上是残疾的。因此，要平等对待残疾人。
六、七选五

【语篇解读】本文作者讲述的是"咖啡"对她的意义,字里行间流露着温馨的情感。

4. watching【解析】考查非谓语动词。咖啡就是我爸爸和妈妈每晚在饭后看ABC新闻。本句已经有谓语动 词is,故空处用非谓语动词,my dad and mum和watch是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式。
5. had run/ran【解析】考查动词的时态。我们没有钱的时候就露营。run out of money这一动作的结果就是 camp,应该用完成时态,且此处描述的是过去的事情,故用过去完成时态。此处也可用一般过去时 表示过去某一时间发生的动作或状态。

7. the【解析】考查冠词。at the start of...是固定搭配,意为"在……开始时"。
9. based【解析】考查非谓语动词。base在此意为"把……设在……",分析句子结构可知,base与其逻辑主语a coffee bar之间为动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式。
10. What【解析】考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,在从句中作主语,表示"所…… 的事物",故用What。

【文章大意】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾对坐轮椅的残疾人倍感同情，而当自己因为意外晕厥也坐上轮椅时，才感觉到坐轮椅的人和正常人一样，同样应受到他人的尊重。
5. B 【解析】从第一段中的＂But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair，I only saw a disability，not a person.＂ 可以看出不论作者什么时候看到有人坐在轮椅上，作者看到的只是残疾，而不是一个完整的 人。说明作者曾经对坐在轮椅上的人有偏见。look down upon意为＂看不起＂。
7. D【解析】从最后一段看出作者悟出的道理：一个人不应该做他不愿意别人对他做的事情。从＂...I was once just like them.I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated.＂可知。
8. B【解析】从作者一开始看不起残疾人到自己成为残疾人，亲身感受到残疾人的窘迫，可以看出人们不应 该看不起残疾人。尤其是从最后一句＂I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.＂可得知，有些双腿健全的人，实际上在人格上是残疾的。因此，要平等对待残疾人。

4. watching【解析】考查非谓语动词。咖啡就是我爸爸和妈妈每晚在饭后看ABC新闻。本句已经有谓语动 词is,故空处用非谓语动词,my dad and mum和watch是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式。
