World famous physicist(物理学家) Stephen Hawking died peacefully at his home in Cambridge on March 14th, 2018.

Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8th, 1942. He went to school in a small city near London. As he himself admitted, he wasn’t very serious about studying. He did very little work, he was never top of his class. However, he still achieved good marks. After leaving school, Hawking first went to Oxford University to study physics. Then he went to Cambridge University to study cosmology(宇宙学).

At the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn’t communicate except by blinking(眨眼). He sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chose his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器). “I’ve 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 was a disabled man, he made great achievements. He received many awards and prizes for his work, including the Albert Einstein Award—the highest achievement in physics.

Hawking worked at Cambridge University as a professor. His story shows that nobody, however 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."

【解析】试题本文是一篇人物小传，简要介绍了霍金身残志坚、取得诸多成就的传奇一生，启发人们身处逆境也不要放弃希望，要像霍金一样尽最大的努力去工作学习。

【1】题意：史蒂芬·霍金什么时候去世的？考查细节理解题。根据第一句World famous physicist Stephen Hawking died peacefully at his home in Cambridge on March 14th, 2018.，可知选B。

【2】题意：在伦敦附近的一个小城市学习期间，我们知道 。考查细节理解题。A. Stephen Hawking was the best student of his class史蒂芬·霍金是班上最好的学生。B. Stephen Hawking didn’t work hard at his lessons史蒂芬·霍金没有认真学习功课。C. Stephen Hawking began to study cosmology史蒂芬·霍金开始研究宇宙学。根据As he himself admitted, he wasn’t very serious about studying. He did very little work, he was never top of his class.，可知他对学习不是很认真，故选B。

【3】题意：史蒂芬·霍金21岁时发生了什么事？考查细节理解题。A. There was something wrong with his head他的头有点不对劲。B. He couldn’t even blink to communicate except by moving fingers除了动手指，他连眨眼都不眨。C. He could neither talk nor move他既不会说话也不会移动。根据At the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn’t communicate except by blinking. 他不能移动和说话了，可知选C。
