Stephen Hawking remembered by Bernard Carr

8January 1942-14 March 2018 The physicist 's former research student recalls their close relationship at Cambridge,the sheer might of his intellect, and how he once bored the great man to sleep

Stephen was not so famous when I began my PhD at Cambridge in 1972,but his brilliance was already clear to his peers and I found it rather daunting when,on becoming his research student,I was informed by one of my tutors that he was the brightest person in the department.(1) ,it soon became(2) that my relationship with him would not be the usual type of supervisor-student relationship.In those days,before he had his entourage of nurses and assistants,students would necessarily have to help him in various ways (3) his disability.This was not an arduous task,but it did mean that my relationship with him became quite (4) . Indeed,I shared an office with him, lived with his family for a while and (5) him as he travelled around the world,giving talks and collecting medals.

I soon discovered some of Stephen's singular (6) .The first,of course,was that he was very smart.Students are probably always in awe of their (7) and with Stephen the awe was even greater.Indeed,on matters of physics,I always regarded him as an oracle,just a few words from him yielding(产生)insights that would have taken weeks to (8) on my own.However,Stephen was only human and not all encounters led to illumination.Once I asked a question about something that was (9) me.He thought about it silently for several minutes and I was quite (10) with myself for asking something that Stephen couldn't answer immediately.His eyes then closed and I was even more impressed with myself because he was

clearly having to think about it very deeply.Only after some time did it become clear that he had fallen asleep.Nowadays,I also sometimes fall asleep while talking to students,so I recall this incident with amusement.

The other human side of Stephen is that he didn't suffer fools gladly and sometimes got annoyed.One of the stories put around is that he would vent his frustration by running over students 'toes.I'm not sure about that-he once ran over the toes of the Prince of Wales,and I'm sure that was just an accident.On the other hand,I well recall one occasion when I made a remark in the departmental common room at tea time that showed I had misunderstood what he'd been saying.Stephen screamed “No!"so loudly that his wheelchair shot back halfway across the room under the recoil.I was most impressed that a single word from him could have such (11) consequences.

I also learned about Stephen's stubbornness and determination to continue doing things for himself as long as possible,despite the relentless progress of his illness.For example,because he had an office in both the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics and the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge,I also had offices in both places.I recall that he sometimes gave me a lift(probably illegally!)between the two places in his three-wheeled invalid car.I found this rather (12) because I thought he drove faster than was https://www.wendangku.net/doc/cb13733960.html,ter,he had to discontinue the use of the car but he never lost his drive and the desire to travel as far and wide as possible.One regret is he didn't live long enough to achieve his dream of going into space.

I'm often asked where Stephen stands in the pantheon(名流群)of great physicists.There are many ways of being a great physicist and they cannot be (13) like runners in an Olympic race.Stephen himself never (14) to have the status of Newton or Einstein, but I strongly disagree with people who suggest that his scientific contributions have been (15) because of his iconic status.His disability was clearly a factor in his becoming so famous,but I doubt any other (16) physicist will achieve the accolade of being interred next to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.

Stephen died on Einstein's birthday and was born on the date of Galileo's death,so it's (17) that he should be connected to his two greatest heroes in this way.I doubt Stephen would have

attributed much significance to this,but he would certainly (18) that we don't understand the mystery of time.In any case,the synchronicity is fitting because his first major discovery was that spacetime trajectories can have singular endpoints where strange things may happen.Stephen was the most (19) person I have ever known and I feel truly (20) that he was my friend.

【答案】BCBCA DAABC BCCAD DBDAC

【解析】

1，根据前面一句中，我的其他导师告诉我Stephen是整个部门里最耀眼的人，后面说很快我和Stephen的关系不是一般的导师和学生之间的关系可知，作者虽然认为Stephen聪明耀眼，但是与自己关系密切，所以用让步比较合适，答案选B.

2，由本段后文中可推出，我和Stephen关系密切是很明显的。

3，根据句意是由于霍金的残疾，所以学生需要以不同方式帮助他，四个选项中B项表示的是由于。

4，根据句意，虽然帮助残疾的霍金并不是什么艰难的工作，但是这让我们的关系变得亲密起来，所以选C比较合适，其他不适合句意。

5，根据句意，知此处选A合适，意思为；确实，我与霍金在一个办公室，和他家人同住过一段时间，陪伴他周游世界......

6，结合文章第二段和第三段讲的都是霍金的一些性格特征，所以知此处应选D.

7，由前文知学生通常对自己的导师怀有敬畏之心，supervisor在前文已出现过。

8，9，我常常把霍金视作无所不知之人，他的三言两语就足够让我对于困惑着的我的问题产生了新的见解，要没有他，我估计得自己琢磨好些时间呢。

10，复现词，后文中由，我对于提出了一个连霍金也要思考的问题感到印象深刻。

11，我没有想到他的简简单单一个字能产生如此巨大的后果。

12，我觉的这相当不安全，随意反推知霍金开车是相当吓人了。

13，经常有人问我霍金在伟大物理学家群中地位如何，可是成为一个伟大的物理学家由太多种方式，并不能像奥运会中的赛跑者一样被排名。

14，霍金他自己从来没有声称过自己和牛顿和爱因斯坦一样牛掰。

15，我强烈的反对有人说霍金的名气夸大了他的科学贡献。

16，当然，他的残疾是使他出名的因素之一，但是我怀疑当代由任何的科学家能够有资格埋在牛顿坟墓旁。

17，霍金的忌日是爱因斯坦的诞辰，霍金的诞辰又是伽利略的忌日，所以以如此额方式把霍金和其他两位科学家联系在一起很奇怪。

18，我怀疑这事和霍金有关，但是他肯定不会承认我们懂得时间的奥秘。（霍金说任何的同

步性是合理的，因为他的第一个发现就是时间的轨道会有一些奇怪的结点，而在这些结点会有奇怪的事情发生。）

19，霍金是我认识并了解的当中最奇特的一个，所以选A比较合适。

20，并且能与他为友，我倍感荣幸。

△Global team of scientists find ecosystem below earth that is twice the size of world's oceans Reading Comprehension

Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.B.

C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Scientists identify vast underground ecosystem

The Earth is far more alive than 1 thought,according to"deep life"studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of that found in all the world's oceans.

Despite extreme heat,no light,minuscule nutrition and intense pressure,scientists estimate this subterranean biosphere is teeming with between 15bn and 23bn tonnes of micro-organisms, hundreds of times the combined weight of every human on the planet.

Researchers at the Deep Carbon Observatory say the 2 of underworld species bears comparison to the Amazon or the Galapagos Islands,but unlike those places the environment is still largely original because people have yet to 3 most of the subsurface.

The team combines 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in 4 ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics.A year before the conclusion of their 10-year study,they will 5 an amalgamation(融合）of findings to date before the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting opens this week.

Samples were taken from boreholes more than 5km deep and undersea drilling sites to construct 6 of the ecosystem and estimate how much living carbon it might contain.

One organism found 2.5km below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not 7 at all on energy from the sun.Instead,the methanogen(甲烷微生物) has found a way to create methane in this low 8 environment,which it may not use to reproduce or divide,but to replace or repair broken parts.The strangest thing is that some organisms can exist for millennia.They are

metabolically active but in stasis,with less energy than we thought possible of 9 life.

Rick Colwell,a microbial ecologist at Oregon State University,said the timescales of subterranean life were completely different.Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years,barely moving except for 10 in the tectonic plates,earthquakes or eruptions.

Underworld biospheres vary depending on geology and geography.Their combined size

is estimated to be more than 2bn cubic kilometers,but this could be 11 further in the future.

The researchers said their discoveries were made possible by two technical advances:drills that can penetrate far deeper below the Earth's crust,and improvements in microscopes that allow life to be 12 at decreasingly minute levels.

The scientists have been trying to find a lower limit beyond which life cannot exist,but the deeper they dig the more life they find.There is a temperature maximum-currently l22C-but the researchers believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more 13 instruments.

Mysteries remain,including whether life colonizes up from the depths or down from chemical processes,and what this might the surface,how the microbes 14 revealing about how life and the Earth co-evolved.

The scientists say some findings enter the realm of philosophy and exobiology-the study of extraterrestrial life.Robert,a mineralogist at the Carnegie Institution for Science,said:"We must ask ourselves:if life on Earth can be this different from what experience has led us to expect,then what strangeness might 15 as we probe for life on other worlds?"

Forgotten statue kept in a margarine tub is 2,000-year-old treasure

A 2,000-year-old Roman statuette of a silver-eyed goddess Minerva that for more than a decade was kept in a plastic margarine tub(黄油容器）is among a record number of treasure discoveries made by the nation's army of metal detectorists.

高中英语完形填空

专题讲座——完形填空 ［复习要点］ 完形填空题是对学生英语语言知识与语言运用能力的一种测试。其考查的形式灵活，综合性较强，要求考生能综合运用所学的知识在特定的语境中进行合理的推理判断，并能准确地从四个备选项中选出正确答案，使补足后的短文结构完整，意义通畅。 一、完形填空题的特点 完形填空题能够较为准确地检查学生的各项知识水平和综合运用语言知识的能力。这种题型的主要考查内容为：①词语辨析、基本句型、基础语法；②固定搭配与习惯表达；③阅读理解能力和逻辑推理能力。近年来，完形填空题更侧重对语言应用能力、阅读理解能力的考查。 完形填空题（cloze test）又叫“克漏字”测验。它有以下两大特点和规律： 第一，一篇完形填空题是一个有机的整体。尽管看起来形式上有残缺（若干个空），但它的内容、语言习惯，句与句之间的衔接点，句子与段落之间的联系，段落与段落之间的逻辑顺序仍或隐或现地存在于篇章之中。因此，在做完形填空题时，通读全文、明了大意、理清观点、分清层次是十分重要的一步。考生解题时必须自始至终依托语境，注意上下文之间、词与词之间，从语法到意义的合理搭配。尤其要注意短文中承上启下的过渡词等，如so, but, however, then, therefore, also等。 第二，完形填空题选材广泛。它涉及社会、政治、经济；文化、教育、历史、地理、科普知识、人物故事等。因此，考生做完形填空题时，要快速通览全文，了解文章概貌与各段落的中心意思，把握文章主旨脉络，掌握文章作者的意图。 在平时学习中，要注意从以下几个方面训练和提高。 ⑴捕捉信息点，弄清逻辑关系： 完形填空题短文第一句话通常不设空，这给学生提供了一个语境，使学生能掌握短文的一些初始信息，例如：文章的大概内容，动作发生的基本时间，短文叙述的切入点等。这些基本信息给学生提供一个语境，使学生解题时能够依境而行。但这只是解答完形填空题的最基本的信息，考生还必须依据上下文提供的信息点（如时间、人物、地点、事件、背景等）对文章的脉络有针对性地理解和判断，弄清段落前后的逻辑关系，才能使短文内容沿着合乎逻辑的顺序发展，才能使局部和全局关系一致。 ⑵明确词义辨析，考虑固定搭配： 不熟悉词语的用法和区别，尤其是同义词语的用法比较，对固定搭配不熟练或记忆不准，都会造成很大的阅读障碍和错误选择，因而考生平时学习时要注重词义辨析，牢固掌握固定搭配。只有这样，考试时才能应付自如。 ⑶运用语法知识，具备各方面知识： 在分析完形填空题所给选项时，仅考虑符合短文大意和固定搭配是不够的。有些题中还须考虑语法结构是否正确，知识内容是否正确等。有些答案不能直接从短文中找到，而是需要通读全文，

历届高考英语完形填空全国卷

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读
