Imagine this: you are twenty-one years old and a promising graduate student at one of the top universities in the world. One day, your doctor tells you that you have an incurable disease and may not have more than twelve months to live. How would you feel? What would you do? Here is what Stephen Hawking thought:
（There did not seem) much point in working on my PhD-I did not expect to survive that long. Yet two years had gone by and I was not that much worse. In fact, things were going rather well for me and I had got engaged to a very nice girl, Jane Wilde. But in order to get married, I needed a job,and in order to get a job, I needed a PhD.
Instead of giving up, Hawking went on with his research, got his PhD and married Jane. Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he had always dreamt of. He continued his exploration of the universe and travelled around the world to give lectures. As his disease has disabled him, Hawking has to sit in his now-famous wheelchair and speak through a computer. He talked about his theories and thoughts on some of the greatest questions: What is time, how did the universe begin,and what exactly are black holes?
Hawking became famous in the early 1970s, when he and American Roger Penrose made new discoveries about the Big Bang and black holes. Since then, Hawking has continued to seek answers to questions about the nature of the universe. In 1988, he wrote A Brief History of Time, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were pleased and surprised to find that a scientist could write about his work in a way that ordinary people could understand. The book sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.
1.According to the quote in paragraph 2, when was Stephen Hawking told about his disease?
A.Twelve months earlier. B.When he was getting married.
C.Two years earlier. D.When he met Jane Wilde.
2.Why did Stephen Hawking think: “There did not seem much point in working on my PhD?”
A.Because there was no point in being a PhD. B.Because he thought he would die soon.
C.Because there was no hope of being PhD. D.Because he had no place to work.
3.What made Hawking known to the world in 1970s?
A.His book A Brief History of Time. B.His discovery about the Big Bang and black hole.
C.His fighting against the disease. D.His lectures to university students.
4.What can we learn from Steven Hawking?
A.Where there is a will,there is a way. B.Every road leads to Rome.
C.Practice makes perfect. D.Better late than never.

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Imagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!
The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.
His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie’s jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.
The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (横杆) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.
Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大镜). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫虫).
The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!
Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!
1.The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.
A. coach B. teammate C. challenger D. record holder
2.What can we learn about the spittlebug?
A. It likes living on the ceiling.
B. It is good at flying in the air.
C. It is the same length as a pencil.
D. It has a wonderful jumping talent.
3.In the author’s opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug’s jumping abilities are ________.
A. surprising B. promising C. doubtful D. fearful
4.How does the author develop the text?
A. By giving instructions.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By following the order of importance.
