Things You Didn't Know About Stephen Hawking
Even if you don't keep a close eye on new developments in physics, you've probably heard of the famous physicist Stephen Hawking.
These days, we know Hawking as a brilliant mind whose theories are difficult for a nonscientific mind to grasp. This is why it may come as a shock to learn that Hawking was a slacker when it came to his school studies.
With a little more effort, he brought those grades up to about average, but not much better. However, from an early age he was interested in how things worked. He has talked about how he was known to take apart clocks and radios. However, he admits he wasn't very good at putting them back together so they could work again.
Stephen Hawking took a liking to mathematics from an early age, and he would have liked to have majored in it.He hoped Stephen would instead study medicine.
But, for all his interest in science, Stephen didn't care for biology. He has said that he found it to be “too inexact, too descriptive (敘述的)”
One problem, however, was that Oxford didn't have mathematics as a major. The result was that Stephen would attend Oxford and major in physics. That's why he chose to study universe.
A. His father wanted to send him to Oxford.
B. His father, Frank, however, had different ideas.
C. Actually, he focused on the bigger questions.
D. He would have rather devoted his mind to more precise concepts.
E. In fact, when he was 9, his grades ranked among the worst in his class.
F. However, there're many interesting facts you might not know about him.
G. Both his teachers and peers seemed to understand that they had a future genius.

Answer 1

【答案】F；E；B；D；C
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，即使你不會密切關(guān)注物理學的新發(fā)展，你可能也聽說過著名的物理學家史蒂芬·霍金，然而一些關(guān)于他的有趣的事情你也許并不知道。
（1）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前” Even if you don't keep a close eye on new developments in physics, you've probably heard of the famous physicist Stephen Hawking.“我們很可能聽說過著名物理學家霍金，此處選擇F. However, there're many interesting facts you might not know about him.“然而，關(guān)于他很多事有趣的事情我們可能并不知道”緊承上文進行論述。
（2）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后”With a little more effort, he brought those grades up to about average, but not much better.“即使霍金付出很多努力，他的成績?nèi)匀粍倓傔_到平均水平，此處選擇E. In fact, when he was 9, his grades ranked among the worst in his class.“事實上，當霍金9歲時，他是班里成績最差的學生之一”引起對下文的論述。
（3）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前”Stephen Hawking took a liking to mathematics from an early age, and he would have liked to have majored in it.“霍金小時候喜歡數(shù)學，而且本來會學數(shù)學專業(yè)的，此處選擇B. His father, Frank, however, had different ideas.“然而他的父親弗蘭克有不同的觀點”呼應(yīng)上文。
（4）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前”He has said that he found it to be ’too inexact, too descriptive (敘述的)‘”inexact和descriptive即“不準確的”或“描述性的”，此處選擇D. He would have rather devoted his mind to more precise concepts.“他寧愿在那些更為精確的概念上下功夫”呼應(yīng)上文。
（5）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“That's why he chose to study universe.”霍金寧愿選擇研究宇宙，故此處選擇C. Actually, he focused on the bigger questions.“事實，也把重點放在更大的問題上”符合語境。
