【分析】史蒂芬•霍金出生于1942年1月8日，英国牛津。他在伦敦附近的小城市圣奥

尔班斯上学，虽然成绩不错，但从未是班上的尖子生。霍金先后就读于牛津大学和剑桥

大学，学习物理和宇宙学。20岁时，他发现自己身体出了问题，被诊断出患有运动神经

元疾病，医生预言他将在23岁之前死去。起初，霍金非常沮丧，但后来他开始以不同的

方式看待生活，结婚并在剑桥大学担任教授。他坚信自己的故事表明，无论情况有多糟

糕，都不应该失去希望。他曾说过：”生活是不公平的，你只能在自己的处境中尽力而为。

fl

【解答】（1）考查连词。句意：尽管他做得很好。And和；Although尽管。结合句意可

知此句是Although引导的让步状语从句。故选C。

（2）考查动名词。句意：离开学校之后，在那里他学习了物理，第三人称单数形式；left

过去式，动名词/现在分词，此处应填动名词。

（3）考查动词。句意：像他自己说的那样。say说；said说；says说；wassaying说。根

据后句中的didn't可知，所以动词用过去式said。

（4）考查限定词。句意：他是个非常懒惰的学生。afew—•些；little很少的wasalazy,

（他是个非常懒惰的学生，是做很少的工作，不可数名词。故选D。

（5）考查副词。句意：在圣诞节期间他去看望他的家人，让他去看医生；very很；quite

相当，such…that..."如此以致于",而such后要用名词，此处应填so。

(6)考查冠词。句意：在圣诞节期间他去看望他的家人，让他去看医生；a一个，修饰

以辅音音素开头的单词，不定冠词；/零冠词，此处表示泛指，所以要用不定冠词a来填

空。

(7)考查介词。句意：霍金被送到医院做检查；。f.....的；for为了，fortest表示为了”

检查"。

(8)考查动词。句意：医生说没有办法帮助他，动词原形，过去式，不定式help帮助。

此处用不定式表目的。

(9)考查形容词。句意：起初。sad伤心的；sadder更伤心的；the,形容词最高级，形

容词最高级。故选A。

(10)考查介词。句意：就像他后来写的那样，我厌倦了生活；On在……的上面；As

如同……一样，是就像他后来写的那样。

(11)考查动词。句意：就像他后来写的那样，我厌倦了生活；told一般过去时；wastold

一般过去时的被动语态，是被告知，be+动词过去分词，所以要用一般过去式的被动语态

来填空。

(12)考查动词。句意：看记来没有什么值得做；seemtohas错误，动词原形to。这个

句子是Therebe句型。seemlo"看起来"。故选C。

(13)考查动词不定式。句意：为了度过一个有意义的生活，并且在剑桥大学找到一份

教授的工作，不定式；Lives第三人称单数形式。此句是不定式作目的状语。

(14)考查代词。句意：他强烈地认为他的故事说明了没有人应该失去希望。somebody

一些人；nobody没有人：everybody每个人，他的故事说明了没有人应该失去希望。因此

主语要用nobodyo

(15)考查固定短语。句意：他置经说过："生活不公平。could能：haveto不得不：had

t。过去式。根强句意可知生活不公平。直接引语中时态为一般现在时。故选B。

【点评】首先通读全文，了解文章大意，紧紧抓住上下文语境所提供的信息，然后明确

词意，结合所学语法，运用排除法逐一选出答案，最后再通读全文核对答案。

二、完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16〜25各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，

【分析】这篇短文讲述了一位商人帮助一个贫穷的中年男子的故事。男子因为找不到工

作无法养家，商人给了他一个任务，让他拿着砖头在广场上走五个小时，作为回报，商

人会付给他五英镑。男子坚持完成了任务，几年后，他已经有了自己的事业，他感谢商

人的帮助，并认为那块砖头给他带来了幸运和成功。然而，真正让他成功的是他对小事

情的坚持和忠诚。

【解答】(1)考查形容词辨析。句意：你看上去很强壮？strong强壮的；smart聪明的。

根据后文Whydon'tyouwork?)可知是看起来很强壮。

(2)考查动词辨析。句意：如果你在胳膊下面夹着一块砖走五个小时不停下来。break

打破；fix修理。根据后面withbrickhis，故选B。

(3)考查名词辨析。句意：在我离开去做生意之前。business生意；bookshop书店。根

据whenIwasleavingformybusiness可知这里是去做生意。

(4)考查动词辨析。句意：当我五个小时后回来时。crying哭；doing做。根据walkaround

thesquareforfivehourswithoutstopping(在广场走五个小时不能停)可知他依然在走着。

(5)考查动词辨析。句意：他感谢了我并告诉我当他们知道他为什么做这些时。continued

继续；offered主动提出。根据Hetheygivework，故选C。

(6)考查动词辨析。句意：他说他们可以直接给他工作。accepted接受：ran跑。根据

but表示转折。故选B。

(7)考查名词辨析。句意:在离开之前。bread面包；brick砖。根据下文1stillkeepthat

brick(我仍然保留着那块砖)，故选C。

(8)考查动词辨析。句意：看到我不确定他是谁，现在拥有了自己的公司；imagined

想像；supposed猜想，故选A。

(9)考查形容词辨析。句意：我仍然保存着那块%beautiful漂亮的；expensive昂贵的。

根据后面Ihaveasithasbroughtmeluckandsuccess(我保留它因为它给我带来了好运和

成功)可知这应该是最重要的东西。

(10)考查副词辨析。句意：实际上，而是他在做甚至是一件小事时的坚定；nearly几

乎；out外面verything可知此处是加强语气。

【点评】解答完形填空题需要快速阅读全文，了解文章大意，再带着选项去读，边读边

做，注意联系上下文。
