28、tephen Hawking was born on 8 January, 1942 and grew up in St Albans, the eldest of four brothers and sisters. His father was a research biologist and his mother a medical research secretary, so it was not surprising that he was interested in science. As a student he was drawn to physics and maths as

29、 he believed they offered the most fundamental insights into the world. But nothing marked him out as special from his classmates or in his first term at Oxford University. Stephen got first in Physics from Oxford, and started a PhD at Cambridge. His own private universe expanded when he proposed to

30、 his future wife. Jane was also from St Albans, and was a modern languages undergraduate. She had met Hawking at a New Year s party, before his diagnosis. The couple decided to marry quickly, because they did not know how long Stephen had to live. As Stephen s health deteriorated, he took to walking

31、 with stick. Hawking escaped the limits of his disability by training his mind to work in a new way. As he started to lose the use of his limbs, he developed a way of visualizing problems in his mind to reach a solution instead of by writing equations. Some of his colleagues have suggested that this

32、 way of thinking has led to his greatest discoveries. Hawking was now working on one of science s most bizarre ideasblack holes, an extreme prediction of Einstein s general theory of relativity. Hawking s work on black holes helped prove the idea of a “ Big Bang“ at the birth of the Universe. Develo

33、ped in the 1940s, Big Bang theory was still not accepted by all scientists. Working with mathematician Roger Penrose, Hawking realized that black holes were like the Big Bang in reverseand that meant the maths he d used to describe black holes also described the Big Bang. It was a key moment in show

34、ing the Big Bang really happened. As his body deteriorated, Hawking s career was taking off. 26 Hawking developed an early interest in science because_. （ A） his brothers and sisters loved it （ B） he took related lessons as a kid （ C） he excelled in maths and physics （ D） his parents influenced him

35、27 What can be learned about Hawking s wife Jane? （ A） She and Hawking came from the same place. （ B） She and Hawking went to the same school. （ C） She married Hawking on New Year s Day. （ D） She didn t know of his disease before their marriage. 28 Hawking s self-trained way of working_. （ A） helped

36、 the recovery of his health （ B） required a lot of equation writing （ C） relied heavily on mental images （ D） was copied by his colleagues 29 The following statements about the Big Bang theory are true EXCEPT_. （ A） Hawking was its founder （ B） it was connected with black holes （ C） Hawking s resear

37、ch supported it （ D） not all scientists agreed with it 30 As a leading figure in science, Hawking_. （ A） lived for fifty-five years （ B） wrote many best-selling novels （ C） led some organizations for the disabled （ D） fought against his disease most of his life 30 Imagine that you re a fly. You re j

38、ust looking for a place to rest, when you see a nice pink leaf. That looks like a nice place to land. As you rest your feet on the leaf, you notice something strange. This leaf is hairy. You begin to make your move, but you trigger the plant s reaction. Snap! In one-tenth of a second, you are caught

39、 in the Venus flytrap. You will be digested in five to twelve days. Out of about 391,000 plant species in the world, only 600 or so are carnivorous. We call them this because they attract, trap, and eat bugs. Like other plants, they get energy from the sun. But unlike other plants, they get their nu

40、trients from their prey(猎物 ). Carnivorous plants live in places where the soil lacks nutrients. Most plants get nutrients from the soil. Carnivorous plants have turned to other sources. Pitcher plants trick their prey into landing on them. They offer nectar(花蜜 )bribes to the foolish insects that wou

41、ld take them. True to their name, pitcher plants have deep chambers. Their landing surface is slippery. They have inward pointing hairs, making it hard to escape. The fly lands on the pitcher plant to eat, but slips into a pit filled with digestive fluids. Corkscrew plants have inviting stems. Curve

42、d hairs line the inside of these stems. These hairs allow insects to go up the stems, but not back. Going forward leads to the plant s stomach. Bugs who wander into the corkscrew plant find that they are unable to escape. They must march to their own death. And then there are the bladderworts. They

43、live in water and float near the surface. Their traps are like small bladders(囊状物 )hidden beneath the water. Only their flowers are visible from the surface. When bugs swim into the trigger hairs, the plant reacts. The bladder sucks up the prey and the water surrounding it. The prey will be digested

44、 within hours. 31 The word “carnivorous“(Para. 2)is closest in meaning to “_“. （ A） nutritious （ B） bug-eating （ C） plant-ating （ D） attractive 32 Which statement would the author most likely agree with? （ A） There are too many species of carnivorous plants. （ B） There are too few plant species in t

45、he world. （ C） Only a small number of plant species are carnivorous. （ D） The majority of plants are carnivorous. 33 Carnivorous plants get their nutrients mainly from_. （ A） other plants （ B） the soil （ C） the sun （ D） their prey 34 Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the third p

46、aragraph? （ A） There are many studies of carnivorous plants. （ B） The pitcher plant tricks bugs into its stomach. （ C） The pitcher plant kills its prey in various ways. （ D） Some plants attract bugs by offering them nectar. 35 As can be inferred, the corkscrew s chamber for digestion is located_. （

47、A） somewhere towards its root （ B） somewhere towards its top （ C） inside its flowers （ D） inside its leaves 35 Serenity(宁静 )is difficult to find in today s fast-paced world. A moment of complete calm seems to be a rare and wonderful find. For me, those precious moments occur on a boat. As legendary

48、sailor Vito Dumas once said: “It s out there at sea that you are really yourself. “ On deck, enjoying awe-inspiring views, the cares of everyday life blown away on the sea breeze, you can appreciate his point. Flying is a misery. From airport chaos to the confined space of an aircraft, nothing about

49、 commercial aviation appeals to my sense of adventureor comfort. Favouring boat travel isn t just about managing flight fear, though. Whether I m on a short ferry crossing or a cruise, the sea provides a true sense of travel, from the impressive physical shift of a ship leaving port to its navigation of the open water. “ We are tied to the ocean,“ John F. Kennedy said. As my ship steers towards an exciting new destination
