阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1 964 I came across a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies;he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty.This was Stephen Hawking.I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his Ph.D.degree.

  But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 70.Even mere survival would have been a medical wonder.but of course he didn't merely survive.He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world-for his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing success over adversity(逆境).

  In 1 964 Stephen received his“death sentence,”against ever celebrating this uniquely inspiring achievement.Stephen went from St.Albans School to Oxford University.He was a “laid back”undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree, and an“entry ticket”to a research career in Cambridge.

  Within a few years of his disease he was wheelchair-bound, and his speech was unclear.But his scientific career went from strength to strength:he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes and how our universe began.In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the early age of 32.

  The great at advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were unconnected-for instance, Isaac Newton famously realized that the force making an apple fall was the same as the f0Ilce that held the moon and planets in their orbits.Stephen's

  Theory has still not been tested.However, it has been hugely influential;indeed, one of themain achievements of string theory has been to confirm and build Oil his idea He has un-doubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top-10 living theoretical physicists.
