Ⅲ阅读理解
The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain＇s greatest scientists biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephan Hawking is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable menSurprisingly they have rather more in common than we think
Most striking is the similarity in their backgroundsThey were born in the early 1940s to middle class families — not wealthy but comfortably off with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public serviceBoth families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University — and both succeeded Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics
Neither man has a very positive view of his early university 1ifeHawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very antiwork You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or failHard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (科生)．
Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for DawkinsLike Hawking he wasn＇t particularly hardworking and never attended his lecturesBut he found Oxford＇s system of weekly essaybased lessons with an academic tutor useful It was really only the tutorial system that educated me
For both men scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962Dawkins who remained at Oxford describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book The Selfish GeneThis volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinian evolution
Hawking on the other hand moved to Cambridge University after graduation where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert EinsteinHe writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyesAlthough communication is slow — he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine — his illness has not affected his mind or his research on spacetime and the origins of the universe
Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinkerRead together they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research
1．Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking＇s and Dawkins＇ backgrounds
A．They were both from wealthy families
B．They studied the same subject in university
C．They graduated from the same secondary school
D．They both came from families that valued good education
解析：选D 细节理解题根第二段中Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University — and both succeeded知两家庭非常重视孩子教育
2．Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student
A．He preferred doing his own research and experiments
B．Students considered it inappropriate to study too much
C．The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him
D．He was more interested in making friends with his classmates
解析：选B 细节理解题根第三段中Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for知B项正确
3．What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage
A．Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate
B．Hawking is more respected by the scientific community
C．They knew each other during their studies at Oxford
D．Hawking has experienced more physical difficulties
解析：选D 推理判断题根第六段中He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes推断霍金历身体痛苦达尔文

Ⅲ阅读理解
The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain＇s greatest scientists biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephan Hawking is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable menSurprisingly they have rather more in common than we think
Most striking is the similarity in their backgroundsThey were born in the early 1940s to middle class families — not wealthy but comfortably off with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public serviceBoth families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University — and both succeeded Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics
Neither man has a very positive view of his early university 1ifeHawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very antiwork You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or failHard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (科生)．
Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for DawkinsLike Hawking he wasn＇t particularly hardworking and never attended his lecturesBut he found Oxford＇s system of weekly essaybased lessons with an academic tutor useful It was really only the tutorial system that educated me
For both men scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962Dawkins who remained at Oxford describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book The Selfish GeneThis volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinian evolution
Hawking on the other hand moved to Cambridge University after graduation where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert EinsteinHe writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyesAlthough communication is slow — he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine — his illness has not affected his mind or his research on spacetime and the origins of the universe
Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinkerRead together they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research
1．Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking＇s and Dawkins＇ backgrounds
A．They were both from wealthy families
B．They studied the same subject in university
C．They graduated from the same secondary school
D．They both came from families that valued good education
解析：选D 细节理解题根第二段中Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University — and both succeeded知两家庭非常重视孩子教育
2．Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student
A．He preferred doing his own research and experiments
