【解析】
本文为记叙文。主要对伟大 的物理学家霍金做了简单的介绍
1.考查副词作状语。但不幸的是,在二十岁的时候,正在牛津大学学习,不幸的是他却得了重病。分析句子可知,本句中的形容词unlucky在句子中作状语,修饰整个句子,修饰整个句子要用副词,故把unlucky改成unluckily
2.考查固定用法。In one’s twenties为固定用法,意为“在某人二十几岁时”,所以把twenty改成twenties
3.考查连词。分析句子he , in his twenties was studying in Oxford University while he was found seriously ill.可知,意为“当他被发现得了重病时,他才二十多岁正在牛津大学读书”。当….时候,为when。用when引导的状语从句表示时间,说明一个也可以表示某一个动作正在进行时,另一个动作突然发生。而while意为“与…同时,然而,却,当…时候”,虽然while也有当….时候,但主从句的动词同时发生。本句中是说当他正在上大学时,突然生病了。所以把 while改成when
4.考查连词。他生病了,然而这并不能阻止他像其他人那样过着有意义和丰富多彩的生活。根据语境可知,前后关系是转折的,而非因果关系。故把Therefore 改成However 。
5.考查冠词。Live a… life为固定搭配,意为“过着…..的生活”,所以在life as others 前面加a 。
6.考查动词不定式。他是如此的积极乐观以致于最终战胜了所有的障碍。本句中考查了so… as to do….结构,所以本句中的defeated要用动词原形defeat,故把defeated改成defeat。
7.考查动词的时态。本句讲述霍金生前的事,因此要用一般过去时,所以把is改成was。。
8.考查非谓语作状语。分析句子可知,本句中的Publishing的逻辑主语是his book,与publish是被动关系,书是被出版,要用过去分词 Published。故把Publishing改成Published
9.考查句子的语法结构。他的《时间简史》,出版于1988,成了畅销书,在书中他提出了著名的时间理论。分析句子可知,本句中的his book A Brief History of Time 后面被一个定语从句修饰,“书”在从句中作状语。意为在书中他提出了著名的时间理论,所以作状语表示气象的地点,要用where,所以句中的介词from是多余的,故把from where 的from 去掉
10.考查固定搭配。 在某人多大岁数时,用“at the age of….”而不“in the age of ”,故把in the age of 改成 at the age of
