He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking. This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek(in 1987) and The Simpsons(in 1989). Each time, he played himself. Hawking, is perhaps the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang theory. The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe. Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones(光錐)． Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(合成器)． Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. However, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them, “I imagine they might exist in very big ships... having used up all the resources from their home planet，” Hawking said in a British documentary named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking. 【文章大意】　本文是一篇人物簡介，介紹了Stephen Hawking及其提出的“宇宙大爆炸”理論和著作的《時間簡史》等成就。 5．What does the “two Bangs” in the title refer to? A．The director of the TV show and the founder of it. B．The director and the actor of The Big Bang Theory. C．The scientific genius on the TV show and the one in real life. D．The founder of the Big Bang theory and Sheldon. C　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Sheldon Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show—The Big Bang Theory. He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.”可知，“two Bangs”指的是電視劇《生活大爆炸》中的科學(xué)天才Sheldon Cooper和現(xiàn)實生活中的科學(xué)天才Stephen Hawking。故選C項。 6．The Big Bang theory mainly explains ． A．how the universe started B．what the universe is like C．how old the universe is D．how the universe exploded A　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe.”可知，“宇宙大爆炸”理論主要解釋了宇宙是如何形成的。故選A項。 7．According to the passage, which of the following about Hawking is TRUE? A．He was born with a disability. B．He played an artist in Star Trek. C．He uses a computer to communicate. D．He believes aliens are our friends. C　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第三、四句“Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side.To communicate，he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse.”可知，Hawking依靠電腦與人交流。故C項正確。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句“When he was 21，Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking.”可知，A項錯誤；根據(jù)第二段可知，Hawking在Star Trek這部電視劇扮演的是他本人，即一名科學(xué)家，而不是藝術(shù)家，故B項錯誤；根據(jù)最后一段中“Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space.However，he believes they are probably very dangerous...”可知，D項錯誤。 Ⅲ.短文改錯 (2016遼寧五校協(xié)作體聯(lián)考) Dear Michelle， I’m very exciting！Today is my first day at a new school in Australia.The school I study is a government school.Although I’m new to my classmates，the teacher asks me to introduce me to them in class.I tell them I come from Changchun and I like playing with computer games，listen to music and doing sports in my spare time.I also like the Australia way of life.Australia is a large country.There are mainly six public libraries and museums in Sydney.Just a few minute walk from where I live，there is a park.Around my house，there are plenty of space.Michelle，I miss you very much.I’ll never forget the days we spend together and the fun we shared all our old classmates.
