London (CNN) There is no God—that's the conclusion of the celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking, whose final book is published Tuesday.The book Brief Answers to the Big Questions, which was completed by his family after his death, presents answers to the questions that Hawking said he received most during his time on Earth.
Other bombshells the British scientist left his readers with include the belief that alien life is out there, artificial intelligence could outsmart humans and time travel can't be ruled out.
“There is no God. No one directs the universe，” he writes in the book.“For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse by God，” he adds. “I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature.”
While Hawking spoke of his lack of belief in God during his life, several of his other answers are more surprising.“There are forms of intelligent life out there，” he writes. “We need to be cautious about answering back until we have developed a bit further.”
“Travel back in time can't be ruled out according to our present understanding，” he says. He also predicts that “within the next hundred years we will be able to travel to anywhere in the Solar System.”
In remarks prepared by Hawking and played at the launch of the book in London on Monday, the scientist also turned his attention to the world he was leaving behind. His greatest concern, his daughter said, “is how divided we've become，” adding，“He makes this comment about how we seem to have lost the ability to look outward, and we are increasingly looking inward to ourselves.”
Hawking's final message to readers, though, is a hopeful one. Attempting to answer the question “How do we shape the future？”， the scientist writes, “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.”
1．Which question is NOT probably included in the book Brief Answers to the Big Questions?
A．Is there Alien life?
B．Does the solar system exist?
C．Is time travel possible?
D．Does anyone direct the universe?
2．Hawking mentioned his disability in his book to__________．
A．show his confidence
B．complain of God
C．tell readers about his hardship
D．support his disbelief in God
3．What was Hawking most concerned about?
A．Artificial intelligence will outsmart humans.
B．Alien life will come to the earth some day.
C．Technology will destroy the world.
D．Human beings are not united.
4．What did Hawking suggest human beings do?
A．Contact alien life.
B．Explore the universe.
C．Develop the earth.
D．Respect artificial intelligence.
答案与解析
本文是一篇新闻报道。CNN报道了霍金的新书“Brief Answers to the Big Questions”，霍金在这本书中解答了人们之前提出的一些问题并提出了自己的个人观点。
1．B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Other bombshells the British scientist left his readers with include the belief that alien life is out there, artificial intelligence could outsmart humans and time travel can't be ruled out.”和第三段第一句“‘ There is no God. No one directs the universe，’he writes in the book.”可知霍金在“Brief Answers to the Big Questions”中解释了外星人、人工智能、时间旅行以及宇宙主宰等问题，并没有涉及太阳系是否存在。故B项正确。
2．D 推理判断题。根据第三段后两句“‘For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse by God，’ he adds. ‘I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature.’”可知霍金认为世界上的所有事情都可以用自然法则来解释，例如像他这样的残疾也是有科学原因的，而不是受到上帝的诅咒。所以他提到自己的残疾是为了支持自己的不信仰上帝。故D项正确。
3．D 细节理解题。根据第六段第二句“His greatest concern, his daughter said, ‘is how divided we've become，’……”可知霍金最大的担忧是人类的分裂，也就是人类的不团结，故D项正确。
4．B 推理判断题。根据最后一句“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.”可知霍金建议人们要仰望天空而不是低头看地。他建议人们更多探索宇宙，故B项正确。
B
(2018年高考·课标课标卷Ⅲ)
While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture—on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素)．
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed，” he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, ” he said.
“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, ” said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
5．Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are __________．
A．following the latest world trend
B．getting international recognition
C．working harder than ever before
D．relying on foreign architects
6．What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?
A．Its hilly environment. B．Its large size.
C．Its unique style. D．Its diverse functions.
7．What made Wang's architectural design a success?
A．The mixture of different shapes.
B．The balance of East and West.
C．The use of popular techniques.
D．The harmony of old and new.
8．What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?
A．Spread them to the world.
B．Preserve them at museums.
C．Teach them in universities.
D．Recreate them in practice.
答案与解析
这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国建筑设计师王澍在其作品中融合中国传统建筑文化，获得了建筑界的诺贝尔奖——普利策奖，这让中国建筑现在得到了国际认可。
5．B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的内容可知，王澍获得2012年普利策奖，而普利策奖相当于建筑界的诺贝尔奖，他是第一个获此奖的中国人，故推知中国建筑现在得到了国际认可。故B项正确。
6．C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段对CAA校园的描述可知，它的设计风格独特，与大多数中国大学的校园很不同，许多游客对复杂的建筑空间和丰富的建筑类型感到吃惊，故C正确。
7．D 细节理解题。根据文章第六段1995年普利策奖的获得者Tadao Ando的评语可知，王澍设计的成功之处是把中国传统元素融入现代设计，并保持两者的和谐，故D正确。
8．D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段和倒数第三段中“In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created”可知，传统的研究要与实践相结合，故D正确。

(2018年高考·北京卷)
My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P．E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”．
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS！”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．
1．A month before the marathon, the author __________．
A．was well trained B．felt scared
C．made up his mind to run D．lost hope
2．Why did the author mention the P．E. class in his 7th year?
A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C．To show he was not talented in sports.
D．To share a precious memory.
3．How was the author's first marathon?
A．He made it.
B．He quit halfway.
C．He got the first prize.
D．He walked to the end.
4. What does the story mainly tell us?
A．A man owes his success to his family support.
B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.
答案与解析
这是一篇记叙文。作者在参加马拉松前一个月受了伤，训练时间不足，且在初一时就被体育老师说没有运动天赋，但是30多岁的他依然坚持跑完马拉松，突破自我，挑战不可能。
1．C 细节理解题。根据题干中的a month before the marathon可知答案在第一段，由最后一句“Yet, I was determined to go ahead”．可知作者决定参加比赛，故答案为C。
2．C 细节理解题。将题干中的P.E. class in his 7th year定位在第二段，作者自己在7年级的时候做得不是很好，后来被老师认为不是一个擅长运动的人，并且第三段提到老师的not athletic一直影响着他，故答案为C。
3．A 细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段中的“I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal”．可知作者坚持到最后，终于做到了，故答案为A。
4．B 主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文，在最后一段点题：Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．可知，作者是一个意志坚定，通过不懈努力，最终获得了成功的胜利者，故答案为B。
Ⅴ.短文改错
Getting rid of the bad habit of procrastination (拖延症) is now my goal in life. My first step was to set small targets what can be reached realistically. For example, I plan to set a timetable for my study. So after school, I will put finishing homework in the last place. Additionally, I will make a list of my important task including their due dates but follow my schedule strictly. I will avoid find excuses for putting them off. At same time, I will ask for my friends and parents to help me. By achieving this small targets, I have confident that I will overcome procrastination.
答案
【难项分析】
第二处：what→that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，本句是一个含有定语从句的复合句，先行词targets在定语从句中作主语，指物，应用that/which来引导该从句。
第五处：but→and 考查连词。根据上下文可知，make和follow两个动作之间是递进关系，故用and。
第十处：confident→confidence 考查名词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用confident的名词形式confidence作have的宾语。

This year's flu season is pretty scary. To try to minimize the effects, public officials are still urging anyone who hasn't yet gotten their flu shot to get one as soon as possible. However, even if every single person got a shot in the arm, the vaccine(疫苗)—with its excellent 36 percent effectiveness—would not prevent everyone from getting infected with the annoying virus. Knowledge is power, so here's what goes on in your body when you come down with the flu.
The influenza virus primarily attacks your nose, throat, and the tubes that lead to your lungs. But the flu is so much more than that. Your muscles ache, your head hurts, and your appetite goes down, among other things. To our surprise, almost all of these symptoms have less to do with the virus itself than with your immune(免疫的)response to them. Unfortunately, the very defense you have in place to get rid of the flu is the reason you feel so painful when you recover.
The virus usually enters through your mouth, typically by way of your hands. But it takes a few days for symptoms to set in. While this process might cause some harm to your nose and throat, it's nothing major, and nothing like the symptoms that typically accompany a bad or even mild case of the flu.
The real fun starts when your immune system begins to fight. Your immune system comes in two parts: the innate system and the adaptive. The innate immune system is essentially an all-purpose tool. As soon as your body senses the presence of any injury or invader (入侵者), the innate immune system launches into action by producing tiny proteins called cytokines and chemokines. The cytokines reproduce almost immediately and start to attack the virus. This increase in immune cells creates an serious inflammation(炎症) throughout the body. But the worst is still to come. Meanwhile, the chemokines work with the adaptive immune system to help create T cells. These cells are a special type of white blood cell that works in a much more specific way: They find the influenza virus, identify what's special about it, and create something unique on their surface that finds and destroys similar invaders.
4．What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A．All the vaccine is not effective.
B．No one can avoid catching this year's flu.
C．This year's flu is the most serious one in recent years.
D．Public health officials have to use a gun when necessary.
5．Why many parts of your body suffer while you're recovering from a flu?
A．Because recovery from illness is painful.
B．Because your immune system is working against your defense system.
C．Because your body is fighting hard against the flu.
D．Because the influenza virus attacks your nose, throat and other parts.
6．The underlined word “fun” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by __________．
A．joy B．battle
C．action D．program
7．What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A．The fight between innate immune system and the adaptive.
B．The categories of immune system.
C．The way immune system works.
D．The process of the development of immune system.
