纪念霍金专题训练
第一节阅读理解
A
Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, also wrote a children’s book with his daughter. Hawking said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter” but without the magic. “It explains the wonders of the universe(宇宙),” said Hawk ing, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago.
Hawking, is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the un iverse. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”
Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).
Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器).
“I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”
Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理学).

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class.
After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks.
It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease（运动神经元病）, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.
At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As h e later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realised that there were a lot of worthwhile（值得做的）things I could do.” Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, how bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair.” He once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

霍金的励志故事 1: 霍金是一个懂的感恩生活和乐观不屈的人。 霍金从小就拥有对自然科学的强烈兴趣，在大学时代当时还没患病，他就意识到，肯 定会有一套能够解释宇宙的万物理论，并陶醉于对其的思索之中，把之当做了自己的信仰，并具有极强的使命感。 在他21岁得知自己患上了不治之症后他也消沉过一段时间，极度失望时他做了一个梦，梦见自己努力去帮助一些人们。医生当时预测他最多只能活2年，但2年过后情况并 不是非常糟糕。后来他又想到了以前曾和自己一个病房的男孩，那个男孩第二天就死去了。他似乎明白了什么，他觉得自己还不算倒霉，不应该就这样放弃，自己17岁就考上剑桥 大学，拥有异乎常人的头脑。之前他就和珍认识，后来他们很快坠入爱河，不久他们结婚 了 患病后，霍金为了家庭，为了自己的理想，果断的“站了起来”，继续了自己的研究。他自己在个人传记中谈到，他并不认为疾病对他有多大影响，他每天都陶醉在自己的世界 之中，努力不去思考自己的疾病。同时，他又努力证明自己能够象常人那样生活!霍金在 自己的生活中，只要能做到的事情绝不麻烦别人，他很憎恨别人把自己当做残疾人，他说：一个人身体残疾了，决不能让精神也残疾。霍金的意志力是非常坚强的，同时他又是一个 对生活很有主见的人。他对生活永远充满了乐观和幽默的态度。在他患病后，曾有6次非 常近距离的和死神交手，他都顽强的活了下来。 一次霍金演讲结束后，一位女记者冲到演讲台前问到：“病魔已将您永远固定在轮椅上，你不认为命运让你失去太多了吗?”大师的脸上充满了笑意，用他还能活动的3根手指，艰难地叩击键盘后，显示屏上出现了四段文字：“我的手指还能活动;我的大脑还能 思维;我有终生追求的理想;我有爱我和我爱的亲人和朋友”...在回答完那个记者的提问后，他又艰难的打出了第五句话：“对了，我还有一颗感恩的心!”现场顿时爆发出了雷 鸣般的掌声。。。 的确用霍金自己的话来说，活着就有希望，人永远不能绝望!比大海更广阔的是天空，比天空更广阔的是人的胸怀!即使病魔把霍金关在果壳中，他也是无限空间之王! 霍金的 故事告诉我们，每个人都应该成为自己命运的主宰，都应该对自己的生活有自己的主见， 拥有自己的梦想，并全力以赴为之奋斗! 2: 在新的千年到来之际，美国白宫曾进行了一系列的演讲，其中以科学为主题的演讲是《想像与变革---下一个千年的科学》。它的演讲者就是英国剑桥大学应用数学与理论物

Bicycles are a convenient means of transportation. People can go wherever they like by bike on a short trip. It is easy to go to work or school by bike because most of the Chinese live not far away from where they work or study. Riding bicycles is also good exercise, which can help build people's bodies. What's more, riding bicycles can save energy. China has a population of more than 1,300 million. As bicycles are not expensive, almost every family has one. Now each family in China has at least a bike instead of a car. Thus a great deal of energy is saved and serious air pollution is reduced. That's why bicycles are so popular in China. 假如你是Amy，请你给你的网友Joan发一封电子邮件告诉她你在老师的帮助下学习英语的一些变化和取得的进步。 1．过去：认为学英语就是背语法规则和英语单词：不喜欢读英语，更不愿意和同学练习对话。 2．现在：意识到英语是说出来的，开始喜欢讲英语并和同学用英语交流；经常上网阅读一些新的英语文章并查阅一些英语资料，对英语越学越感兴趣并且取得了很大的进步。 注意：词数100左右，开头已给出，不记入词数。 生词：互联网internet 软件 software Dear Joan, Hello!

霍金——黑洞理论的创立者 魏继国主编2018、3、14 编者按：谨以此文纪念霍金这位当今世界上最伟大的物理学家。 他的勇气与坚持鼓舞了全世界 2018年3月14日，在伽利略的忌日、爱因斯坦的诞生日当天，著名英国科学家霍金 在家中安然辞世。为了缅怀这位伟大的物理学家，剑桥冈维尔与凯斯学院降半旗纪念霍金，剑桥大学也刊发文章回忆了霍金的身平，表达对这位剑桥大师的缅怀之情。 剑桥大学的文章称，霍金这位学生时代就被诊断出来患有运动神经元疾病并最终常年禁锢在轮椅上的教授，被广泛认为是世界上最杰出的人物之一。在长达几十年与病魔抗争的岁月里，他与命运作斗争的决心使他成为了世界各地残疾人士中的冠军。 终其一生，霍金在探索宇宙的基本规律上开辟了新的天地，包括揭示黑洞有温度并产生辐射（现在称为霍金辐射）这一现象。与此同时，他还试图通过流行书向更广泛的读者解释许多这些复杂的科学观点，其中最着名的是他的畅销书《时间简史》。 霍金一生中取得了无数的奖章和荣耀，在谈及霍金所取得的巨大成就时，兴趣与希望是霍金开启不平凡人生的法宝。剑桥大学的文章称，学生时代的霍金总是被老师排在班级排名的后面，但他的学校朋友却昵称他为“爱因斯坦”，这鼓励了他对科学的兴趣。用他自己的话说，“物理学和天文学提供了理解我们来自哪里以及我们为什么在这里的希望。我想了解宇宙的深处。” 多年后，霍金还曾在他的网站上写道：“我几乎在我所有的成年生活中都患有运动神经元疾病。然而幸运的是，它并没有阻止我有一个非常有吸引力的家庭，也没有阻止我在工作中取得成功。我很幸运，我的状况恶化得比预想的缓慢得多，这说明人们不需要失去希望。” 而霍金在现实的生活中，也不断践行自己不失去希望的信念，反而以一种积极的姿态不断尝试和挑战。文章指出，旅行是霍金的逍遥时光之一。1962年，他遭遇伊朗Bou-in-Zahra7.1级地震，那被他视作他的冒险之一；1997年，他访问了南极，并随潜水艇潜入南极深处；2007年，为给宇航员进行常规训练，他在零重力状态下体验了失重，回来后还喊道：“太空，我来了。” 2017年，在剑桥举行的75岁生日庆典上，霍金说：“活着并且活跃于物理理论研究，这是一个光荣的时刻，在过去的50年里，我们对宇宙的理解发生了很大的变化，如果我在其中做出了一点贡献，我很高兴。” 他还说，他希望其他人能够感受到他对探索宇宙规律的热情。“我想分享我对这个事业的兴奋和热情。所以请记住仰望星星，而不是在你的脚下。试着理解你看到的东西，并对宇宙保持好奇心，无论生活如何艰难，总会有一些事情可以做，并且成功。重要的是，你不要放弃。” 【人物事略】 史蒂芬·威廉·霍金，国际著名的数学家、理论物理学家，英国剑桥大学应用数学和理论物理系终身教授。1942年1月8日在英国牛津出生，先后毕业于牛津大学和剑桥大学，学习数学、物理和宇宙学，并获剑桥大学哲学博士学位。1963年，在大学学习后期，患了“肌肉萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症”(运动神经元疾病，在美国被称为“卢伽雷氏症”)，半身不遂，丧失了说话能力，全身只有两个手指头能活动。在经历了一段短暂的失望和沮丧后，霍金又开始了他的宇宙学研究。 霍金在大爆炸和黑洞等宇宙学理论上取得了突出的成就。他的宇宙学著作《时间简史》是一部里程碑式的畅销书。他先后获得阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦奖和物理学界的沃尔夫奖等大奖，1989年获“英国爵士”荣誉称号，他还是英国皇家学会会员和美国科学院外籍院士。著有《广

每周一测 Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A Though they have been around since the late 1990’s, emoji(表情符号) usage has increased sharply with the wide use of smartphones. Recently, a team from the University of Michigan and Peking University analyzed 427 million messages sent by users in 212 countries to look into the differences in emoji use by location and culture. The findings indicated the French are emoji power users and included them in 19.7% of their texts. It’s almost twice that of Russia, where only 10.9% of the messages cont ained emojis. Americans came in a close third at 9.2% and was followed by Mexico at 7.9%. Also, though the handily wins the title as the most popular emoji, the French appear to prefer the . They are also more likely to use variations of the heart emoji. Not surprisingly, the study found that women tend to use emojis more extensively than men. However, they stick to a handful of favorites. Men, on the other hand, show better judgment and appear to go to extra length to find an emoji that matches the situation. But even so, they select from the top 119 of the 1 281 emojis available. The researchers say people living in Australia and France who believe one person’s need is greater than that of a society or group, used happier emojis. Conversely, those from countries with closely knit societies, like Colombia, prefer using sad or angry emojis. Also, cultures like Turkey and Russia, known for their strictness, appeared to be more content, at least according to the emojis. On the other hand, people in tolerant cultures, like Mexico, seemed unhappy or dissatisfied. The researchers believe the findings of this "first large-scale analysis of emoji usage" will help develop input methods and perhaps even expand our emoji vocabulary! Who knew the tiny image we add to brighten up our texts could show so much about our culture? 1. Which country is the second-place winner of the use of emojis? A. France. B. America. C. Russia. D. Mexico. 2. How are men different from women in using emojis? A. Men often choose the rarely used emojis.

邂逅霍金葛剑雄①自从《时间简史》在中国翻译出版后，知道霍金的人越来越多。青年人争相阅读《时间简史》，一时颇有洛阳纸贵之势。我没有看过这本书，但我对霍金以高度残疾之身写出如此经典著作的精神和业绩，却充满了深深的敬意。②我知道霍金是剑桥大学的，想不到在来剑桥的第二周就见到了他。③那天下午，当我们经过剑桥河边的时候，忽然我见到前面缓缓驶来一辆轮椅车，上面坐的正是霍金——和以前在照片上见到的完全一样。 ④车驶进了，我却呆滞了，是敬仰，是震惊，是凝视，是沉思？都是，或许都不是。在他经过我身边的那段时间，我什么都没有做，只是目送他静静地过去。⑤这是一个弱小的身躯，稍向右侧倾斜地靠在——或者说是被安放在——轮椅车背上。除了他的目光，似乎见不到他有其他动作。他的目光显得异乎寻常，显示着超常的魅力：我想走上前去，又下意识地摸着相机。但我既没有移步，也没有拍照，连拍一下他的背影的念头也很快被自己否定了。 ⑥或许是霍金独特的形象震撼了我。对于这样一位随时面对逼近的死神却依然像超人那样奋斗的人，对他的任何一种干扰都是一种罪恶，更不用说任何好奇的举动或过分热情的表现。 ⑦或许是周围的人感染了我。当霍金经过时，一切都是那么平静，认识他的和不认识他的人都毫无异样，就连照料他的老护士也不靠近他的轮椅，只是默默地跟着，人们都尊重他作为一个正常人的生存权利。⑧霍金的轮椅渐渐消失了，就像路上无数过往的行人一样。 ⑨霍金是不幸的，当风华正茂时遭遇了罕见的疾病。他要用很大的努力才能举起头来；他不能写字；看书必须依赖一种翻书页的机器，读文献时必须让人将每一页平摊在一张大办公桌上，然后他驱动轮椅如蚕吃桑叶般地逐页阅读。⑩然而，就是这样一位被疾病固定在轮椅上三十多年的人，却坚持说自己是个快乐的人。他的思维穿越时间和空间，追寻着宇宙的尽头、黑洞的隐秘。他凭着敏锐的直觉和严密的推理，直接挑战被人广泛认同的传统量子力学、大爆炸理论甚至爱因斯坦的相对论。⑾霍金是幸运的。他生活在一个人的价值得到充分尊重的时代，他也生活在一个科学技术高度发达的时代。要不，他如何能完成他的著作，如何能继续他的生命和工作？他的轮椅上装满了大大小小的机械和电脑，他的身前就有显示屏和特殊的键盘，这是IBM公司专为他设计制造的，所以他才能自如地操纵轮椅，才能传达自己的思维，才能延续他的生命。⑿我更庆幸霍金生活在剑桥，他完全可以像常人一样生活，不必随时面对镜头、鲜花、握手和掌声，不用应付集会、宴请、报告和表彰，因为大家都懂得个人的价值和时间的宝贵。⒀愿霍金在平静中度过他不平凡的一生。 [注]霍金，英国理论物理学家，主要致力于黑洞量子力学的研究，被誉为“继爱因斯坦之后世界上最杰出的理论物理学家”。 1.结合全文回答，霍金“超常的魅力”除目光以外，还表现在哪些方面？（不少于三点） 2.第⑤段中，作者为什么“既没有移步，也没有拍照，连拍一下他的背影的念头也很快被自己否定了”？ 3.作者说“霍金是幸运的”，其理由是什么？请分条陈述。 4.第⒀段中，作者为什么希望霍金在“平静”中度过他的一生？ 5．阅读下面一则材料，回答问题。有一次，在学术报告结束之际，一位女记者问：“霍金先生，卢伽雷病已将你永远固定在轮椅上，你不认为命运让你失去太多了吗？”霍金的脸庞充满恬静的微笑，他艰难地扣击键盘，于是，随着合成器发出的标准伦敦音，宽大的投影幕上缓慢而醒目地显示出如下一段文字：“我的手指还能活动，我的大脑还能思维；我有终生追求的理想，有我爱和爱我的亲人和朋友；对了，我还有一颗感恩的心……”因为罕见的疾病而瘫痪的霍金始终坚持说“自己是一个快乐的人”，联系材料中他的精彩回答，你认为他具有怎样的人生态度？你从中得到什么启迪？“课外阅读”答案： 1.取得杰出的科学成就；直接挑战传统权威理论；以坚强毅力战胜罕见疾病；以乐观的态度面对人生。（答出三点即可）2.（1）霍金独特的形象震撼了“我”，对这样一位超常的人，任何干扰都是一种罪恶；（2）周围的人感染了“我”，大家都尊重他作为一个正常人的权利。（意思对即可） 3.霍金生活在一个人的价值得到充分尊重的时代；霍金生活在一个科学技术高度发达的时代；霍金生
纪念霍金专题训练 第一节阅读理解 A Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, also wrote a children’s book with his daughter. Hawking said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter” but without the magic. “It explains the wonders of the universe(宇宙),” said Hawk ing, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago. Hawking, is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the un iverse. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.” Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼). Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器). “I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.” Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理学). 1.

The illness stopped him from being successful. B Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学).
