He went to school in St. Albans — a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then hewent to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology (宇宙论). As he himself said hedidn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still gotgood marks.It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He startedto bump (撞上) into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, theresult came back. Hawking had motor neurone (神经性) disease, an incurable illness whichwould make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctorssaid they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23. At first, Hawking becamevery sad. After a while, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Beforemy illness was diagnosed (诊断), I had been very bored with my life. There had not seemed tobe anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized thatHawking married, found a job atthere were a lot of worth-while things I could do.”　Cambridge University and had three children. He also went on to some of the most important scientific researches.Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believesthat his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope.fair,” he once said. “You just have to try your best in your own situation.”52. As a university student, Stephen Hawking ________.A. worked very hardB. studied math and physicsC. was the best student in his classD. was lazy and did very little work53. Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him when ________.A. he was sent to hospital for testsB. his mother made him see a doctorC. he was twentyD. he visited his family at Christmas time one year54.

Professor Stephen HawkingD. A Lazy BoyDA sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the twoto do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible.When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury (埋葬) it in the garden and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage users to recycle. Scientists have come upwith a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard orsoft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without givingout any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phonecover that includes a sunflower seed (种子). When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we are working with scientists to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time.” Said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means producers are under pressure (压力) to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can change this, according to the scientists.56. After you have finished using the new type of mobile phone, ________.A. the phone will do harm to the environmentB. the phone cover will break down easily in the soil you bury itC. it will be recycled by the producers.D. it can be sent back to the shops.57. Which of the following is wrong about the cover of the new type of phone?A. It can help the sunflower seed after the mobile phone breaks down.B. It looks like normal plastics but it can break down.C. It includes a sunflower seed.D. It makes sure the seed only grows after the phone is thrown away.58. The new type of phone can reduce the harm to the environment mainly ________.A. because of the material of its coverB. because of the sunflower seedC. because it’s made of no poisonous chemicals.D. because you bury it in the soil after you finish with it.59. This type of research is done because ________.A. the technology that produces mobile phones is changing quicklyB. users are constantly throwing their mobiles away.C. nobody has ever thought of recycling mobile phones.D. producing mobile phones uses a lot of energy, so this has become a very big problem for the environment.60. We can guess from the story ________.A. the new type of mobile phones is already on the market.B. the new type of mobile phones will sell very well.C. recycling mobile phones is not useful to the environment.D. other flowers may be used in the new type of mobile phones.五、词汇运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）A)根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空填一词。
