双语阅读:霍金现象 堪称科学界的奇迹

Cosmic superhero Stephen Hawking never ceases to amaze his admirers. At the age of 72 he is the world’s most celebrated scientist and the ultimate symbol of triumph over adversity, as he celebrates five decades of intellectual achievement while livingwith motor neurone disease, which kills most patients within two or three years. “宇宙之王”斯蒂芬•霍金(Stephen Hawking)从未停止让他的崇拜者惊叹。

72岁高龄的他不仅是在世最著名的科学家,而且是战胜逆境的终极象征。

50年来,他在患有运动神经元疾病(MND)情况下取得了非凡学术成就,而这种疾病的患者大多在两、三年内死亡。

This week Professor Hawking enjoyed the limelight at the London premiere of the latest film about his life, The Theory of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne. Last week he showed off a new communications system designed by Intel, which enables him to write and speak more efficiently — in his famous American android voice —by registering tiny movements of his cheek muscles.最近,霍金教授在《万物理论》(The Theory of Everything)伦敦首映式上成为公众瞩目的中心,这是最新一部刻画霍金生平的电影,由埃迪•雷德梅尼(Eddie Redmayne)主演。

2020届高考英语山东省二轮复习训练题:04_限时组合练(四)

限时组合练(四)限时:60分钟 总分:100分第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A(2019山东潍坊三月一模,B)Hawking was perhaps the most famous scientist in the world when he died in 2018 at age 76.His 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, sold ten million copies and made him an unlikely superstar even to people who sweated over high school science.Humor was always a big part of Hawking's effort to bring physics to the masses. In his 2010 book, The Grand Design, for instance, he recounts how, in 1277, the Catholic Church declared scientific laws such as gravity to be wrong, since they seemed against God's idea.“Interestingly,”the text adds jokingly, “Pope John was killed by the effects of the law of gravity a few months later when the roof of his palace fell in on him.”Hawking was only 21 when he was diagnosed with the disease ALS. For most people, the condition would have been a disaster. But Hawking rolled over hardship as if it were just a pebble under his wheelchair.“Life would be tragic,”he once said, “if it weren't funny.”He kept smiling even though he spent more than 50 years in a wheelchair.“He loved adventure and fun,”says Mlodinow, who once took Hawking on a punt-boat trip down the River Cam in Cambridge, England, despite the obvious danger of the boat turning over.“You know about when he went on the Vomit Comet? It's a plane that flies in a parabolic(抛物线的)path so you are weightless, like you are in space. A lot of people vomit, but he loved that sort of thing.”And he was 65 at the time.Hawking's greatest hit, humor-wise, was probably the cocktail party he threw in 2009. It was a “welcome reception for future time travelers,”he said, so naturally, he sent out the invitations the day after the party. No one showed up yet. “Maybe one daysomeone living in the future will find the information and use a wormhole time machine to come back to my party, proving that time travel will one day be possible,” Hawking explained. And if that happens, don't be surprised if Hawking is there too. After all, he never missed a chance to have fun.1.What can we learn about Pope John?A.He was not in favor of God.B.He was a scientist like Hawking.C.He was opposed to the law of gravity.D.He was killed due to the discovery of gravity.2.What drove Hawking to go on the Vomit Comet?A.His fondness of adventure.B.The invitation from his friend.C.The requirements of his work.D.His desire for recovery from ALS.3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The cocktail party was a great success.B.The possibility of time travel was not proved.C.Hawking was a man who enjoyed holding parties.D.The wormhole time machine was used at that time.答案 [语篇解读] 本文为人物介绍类记叙文。

送别霍金 实用类文本阅读题(带解析)

送别霍金 实用类文本阅读题(带解析)

世界唏嘘声中送别霍金——“他回到了星辰宇宙”“最接近外星人的地球人走了”,“他回到了星辰宇宙”,“时间永留简史”,……2018年3月14日中午,一则名人讣告在中国网友的朋友圈瞬间刷屏。

这位名人是英国物理学家史蒂芬霍金,他以“黑洞理论”闻名,其科普著作《时间简史》畅销全球,他本人的形象常常是坐着轮椅、使用语音合成器与人交流。

一位外国物理学家何以引发如此轰动?有人说,霍金是继爱因斯坦之后最伟大的理论物理学家。

也有人认为,霍金在物理学界的真实地位或许被高估了。

但不得不承认的是,“当霍金说些什么时,全世界都在听”,没有哪位科学家能像他这样“引发社会大众想象,让全球千万人喜爱”。

何况这位21岁就罹患“渐冻人症”的天才巨匠还代表着另一种意义——与不幸命运抗争的人类意志力的化身。

悼念——一个巧合的日子对于科学界来说,3月14日是个特殊的日子——“国际圆周率日”,每年科学家和数学家们会在这一天庆祝数学常数π(近似值3.14)。

另外,139年前,爱因斯坦在这一天出生。

美国福克斯新闻网称,76岁的霍金在14日去世是个“令人震惊的巧合”。

还有一个巧合是,霍金的出生日和意大利数学家伽利略以及著名的德国思想家经济学家马克思去世的日期一致。

有人宣称,也许是霍金故意安排了这种巧合。

贡献——“霍金的理论不会过时”霍金于1942年出生,父亲为生物学家。

1963年,霍金被确诊患有“渐冻人症”。

1964年霍金结婚时,医生曾评估他只剩下两至三年寿命。

到1970年,霍金已无法行走,后来全身能够动的仅剩几根手指。

1985年,霍金失去说话能力。

尽管恶疾缠身,霍金在1965年凭论文《宇宙膨胀的性质》获得博士学位。

失语3年后,霍金完成《时间简史:从大爆炸到黑洞》。

这本著作被翻译成40多种语言。

2001年,霍金发表《果壳中的宇宙》。

英国《金融时报》14日称,霍金对宇宙学的许多重大问题,尤其是20世纪物理学的两个伟大理论相对论和量子力学的统一做出了重要贡献。

原创英语阅读理解霍金 Hawking

The world has lost one of its brightest stars. British physicist Stephen Hawking died on March 14, at the age of 76.Hawking was known for his vast knowledge of black holes and the Big Bang theory, which attempts to explain how the universe began. His 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which contains his understanding of the universe, is one of the biggest-selling science books of all time.His hard work led him to receive many awards and prizes. Forexample, in 2006, he was awarded the Copley Medal, anoutstanding award for scientific achievement.But his fame didn’t only come f rom his scientific achievements—his life experience was also inspiring. At the age of 21, he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (运动神经元病), before being confined to a wheelchair and needing the help of a voice synthesizer (合成器) to speak. He was predicted to die within a few years, yet he lived on to become one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known.Although he’s no longer with us, his legacy will surely live on. As Sajid Javid, a UK government minister, put it, “A brie f history on Earth; an eternity in the stars.”【语篇概述】本文是一篇时文报道。

Stephen Hawking高考英语热点话题阅读理解解答

霍金真的走的。

霍金的伟大不仅仅在于他在科学上的成就,从一个人的角度来讲,他是非常了不起的。

试想想,任何一个身患残疾,整日坐在轮椅上,不能自理的人来说,还能实现自己的人生价值,这种成就,这种乐观和顽强,是他永远留给我们的财富。

今天摘选了霍金曾经说过的一些话,我们一起来学习一下。

New Words:attitude n. 态度;看法;psychologically adv. 心理上地;心理学地concentrate vi. 集中;浓缩;handicap n. 障碍;appeal to 对…有吸引力1. ON DISABILITIES"If you are disabled, it is probably not your fault, but it is no good blaming the world or expecting it to take pity on you. One has to have a positive attitude and must make the best of the situation that one finds oneself in; if one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well. In my opinion, one should concentrate on activities in which one's physical disability will not present a serious handicap. I am afraid that Olympic Games for the disabled do not appeal to me, but it is easy for me to say that because I never liked athletics anyway. On the other hand, science is a very good area for disabled people because it goes on mainly in the mind. Of course, most kinds of experimental work are probably ruled out for most such people, but theoretical work is almost ideal. My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics. Indeed, they have helped me in a way by shielding me from lecturing and administrative work that I would otherwise have been involved in. I have managed, however, only because of the large amount of help I have received from my wife, children, colleagues and students. I find that people in general are very ready to help, but you should encourage them to feel that their efforts to aid you are worthwhile by doing as well as you possibly can."— From "Handicapped People and Science," Science Digest 92, No. 9, September 19842. ON IMPERFECTION"Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist."— From Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking, 20103. ON THE ADVICE HE GAVE HIS CHILDREN"One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away."— To Diane Sawyer/ABC News, June 2010热点话题练习1:Stephen Hawking,a world famous British physicist,will write a children's book with his daughter.Hawking said the book will be "a bit like Harry Potter" but without the magic."It explains the wonders of the universe(宇宙)," said Hawking,while he was on a visit to Hong Kong last week.Hawking,64,is probably the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein.He is an expert on black holes.He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe."My goal is simple," Hawking once said."It is to completely understand the universe,why it is as it is and why it is there at all."Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking.For a period of time,he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side.To communicate,he moves two fingers to control the computer's mouse.He selects his words from the screen,which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器)."I have had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said."Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work."Although Hawking is such a disabled man,he made great achievements.He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years.This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award.It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理).41.The book that Stephen Hawking will write is________.A.the same as Harry Potter.B.is quite different from Harry Potter.C.about the magicD.about science42.From text we can learn ________.A.Hawking is more famous than Einstein.B.Hawking is less famous than Einstein.C.Both Hawking and Einstein are very famous.D.Neither Hawking nor Einstein is famous.43.What does the underlined pronoun "it" stand for?A.The goal.B.The magic.C.The universe.D.The book.44.According to the text,which of the following statements is the fact?A.Hawking has received many awards and prices except the Albert Einstein Award.B.The illness keeps him from moving and talking.C.He communicates with others by speaking.D.The illness stopped him from being successful.45.What is the best title for the text?A.Stephen HawkingB.A Famous BookC.Live as Hawking DoesD.A Clever Man热点话题练习2:Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. 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, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits(承认), he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to 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, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later write, "Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There bad not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation(处境) is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair, "he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."1.As a university student, Stephen Hawking _______.A.worked very hard B.studied math and physicsC.was the best student in his class D.was lazy and did very little work2.Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him when ______.A.he was sent to hospital for tests B.his mother made him, see a doctorC.he was twenty years old D.he visited his family at Christmas time one year3.In this passage the word "incurable" means ______.A.无法治愈的B.难以确诊的C.常见的D.可以治愈的4.When Hawking was first diagnosed with motor neuron disease, he __.A.made up his mind to get married B.began to ,see his life in a different wayC.thought that nothing in life was worth doing D.became very unhappily5.What would be the best title for this passage?A.Motor Neuron Disease B.Life is Fair C.Professor Stephen Hawking D.A Lazy Boy热点话题练习3:Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous scientists in this century.He was born in 1942.he’s a worldwell-known on space and time.Stephen is researching some very big questions, such as:How did the universebegin? How will it end?Stephen was a student at Oxford University.He studied math and science.Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick.He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As amatter of fact, the doctors were wrong-he didn’t die.He can’t walk now but he uses a wheelchair(轮椅).Hecan’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself.But he refused to give in to the condition.He talks with thehelp of a computer.After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University.Three years later, in 1965, he became adoctor of philosophy(哲学).Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams(图表)or to write.So hestarted to think in pictures.With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world.In 1891, he met the Pope(教皇)in Rome.They talked about his ideas.Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book,A Brief History of Time.It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.He wasonce invited to China, he impressed us with his self-confidence, humorous and witty(风趣的)conversation.1.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Stephen is good at thinking.B.Stephen cannot walk.C.Stephen has had the answers to some very big questions.D.Stephen had once studied math and science at Oxford University.2.How old was Stephen when he became a doctor of philosophy?A.21 B.23 C.27 D.253.A Brief History of Time is _________.A.a book which is well-known all over the word B.a book about Rome’s historyC.Stephen’s talk collection with the Pope in RomeD.Stephen’s talk collection with me in China4.Stephen’s studies DO NOT relate(涉及)to _________ according to the passage.A.science B.math C.philosophy D.Art5.The right order of Stephen’s main experiences in _________.a.He went to Cambridge University.b.He became very ill.c.He wrote his first import book.d.He met the Pope in Rome.A.c-a-b-e-d B.a-b-c-d-e C.c-b-a–e–d D.a-c-b-e-d热点话题练习4:Stephen Hawking, the disabled author of A Brief History of Time is launching his second journey to China in Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province. His first visit was over 10 years ago.The great theoretical scientist has been invited to attend a state-of-the-art mathematics research institute at Zhejing University, Hangzhou-based Dushi Kuaibao reported.On Sunday evening, he made his début at a press conference held at Shangri-La hotel, Hangzhou. Hawking appeared at about 5:00 p.m. with his wife.The 50-year-old man answered a total of nine questions with the help of his computer.“Experts in theoretical science are dispersed around the world, but we need communication. I am very glad that the world’s first-class conference is being held in China this time,”he said.“I find the real universe much more interesting than the one in the film Star Wars ,” Hawking joked.“I encourage young people to study theoretical physics first if they are interested in it.”Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity impli ed (隐含) space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great scientific development of the first half of the 20th century.One consequence(结果) of such a unification theory would be that black holes would not be completely black, but emit (放射) radiation and eventually evaporate (蒸发) and disappear. Another conjecture (推测) is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.But the talented man who has produced such rich work suffers serious Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎缩性脊髓索硬化). He is one of the 350,000 sufferers in the world. The disease kills over 100,000 people every year.“I like life and I love life, my family and music give me the greatest happiness,”smiled Hawking, who can only move three fingers.In the coming year, Hawking said he is scheduled to write a new edition of A Brief History of Time for young children.“A Brief History of Time is my first book for common people. But I later found that I could write it in a more simple way,”he answered,“So I decided to rewrite it so that all people can read it easily.”1.It is obvious that Hawking ________.A.comes to China for the first time B.has never been to China beforeC.has been to China twice D.hopes to come to visit China one day2.What do the underlined words“are dispersed”in the fifth paragraph mean?A.Live together. B.Live far away from. C.Know each other better.D.Have connection with each other.3.From the passage we know the nature of Hawking’s being ________.A.determined and humorous B.learned and humorous C.learned and shy D.disabled4.It can be inferred that Hawking ________.A.greatly improved Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity B.knows a lot about Einstein’s theoryC.has A Brief History of Time published recently D.loves nothing but his study on universe热点话题练习5:Stephen Hawking, the disabled writer of A Brief History of Time, was on his second journey to China in Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province.

——题记于是我披着星星戴着月亮去了山谷,流水匆匆汇过我脚下,夜莺的歌声在树梢掠过。

又是一段感人肺腑的故事,你现在也是不是正在回想着感恩的那些事,感谢着世界赋予你的鸟语花香。

溪水欢快的流着,给人一丝感慨,一份触动。

小溪不停的流向大海。

目的是回报,那我们呢。

窗外浮着薄薄青烟似地雾,用手一划,立即清澈如水。

暮光燃烧了太阳,推着我浪迹天涯,一回头,红色薄雾里的影子变得苍老,露出老态。

踏上云彩挥舞着丰满的翅膀,青色的天空流露对生的信仰,墨色浓雾里的影子如同枯朽的老树。

我看见岁月的车轮碾过你的额头,如同碾在我心上一般疼痛。

小小道外的石桥路口,黄色灯光轻轻照在你的睫毛上,村头得圆月不落,青瓦房里的绿蓑衣都长满了时光的老茧,你在床上小憩,手里仍旧拿着儿时我的小衫……我在城市的这头,幻作一缕柔柔的黄色灯光,偷偷地,透过窗。

院子里的老井,湿漉漉的井绳,吱呀作响的木门,常常刺痛我深夜的梦,突然,四下一片寂静的漆黑,屋里,我张开眼,照亮一小片的夜。

你还在劳作……要我拿什么感谢你,要我用什么回报你,要我怎样,您才会高兴?您才会放下手里的时间,去看看黄花落水……福建高中学考满分作文范文篇2秋天是很诱惑人的,我被您深深的吸引住了;我既爱您又在心里怪罪于你。

秋天,起风了,农民伯伯忙起来了。

这个季节是个丰收的季节,每个人脸上都挂着笑容,乐呵呵的,一边和周围的聊会、一边还在干活;好不热闹。

美丽的秋天让我久久的离不开思绪,很怀念您可是我又很怨您。

可是你是大方的不管我咋么对您、您都不会责怪我,您太仁慈了。

中秋节是每家都团圆的节日,我看真你们笑的那么的开心。

我却是一个人,别人问说“你问你为什么不回家”,我淡淡的一笑说节约路费。

我只是有家回不成的。

看着别人一家都在吃月饼,我好不羡慕呀!想想自己以前是多么的幸福,有爸爸宠着、有妈妈疼着、有弟弟在一边和你吵闹着那是多么温馨的画面。

高考英语热点阅读理解霍金专题

近几年来,科技题材的文章一直是高考英语阅读理解所倍加青睐的。

当代最伟大物理学家霍金的离世无疑唤起了人们对科学的关注,因此,关于霍金的文章极有可能出现在高考英语阅读理解中。

阅读理解(一)Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, also wrote a children’s book with his daughter. Hawking said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter”but without the magic. “It explains the wonders of the universe(宇宙),”said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago.Hawking, is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe. “My goal is simple,”Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器).“I have had the disease for most of my life,”Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理学).1. In the first paragraph, the book that Stephen Hawking wrote is_____.A. the same as Harry PotterB. is quite different from Harry Potter.C. about the magicD. about science2. From text we can learn _____.A. Hawking is more famous than EinsteinB. Hawking is less famous than EinsteinC. Both Hawking and Einstein are very famousD. Neither Hawking nor Einstein is famous3. What does the underlined pronoun “it”stand for?A. The goal.B. The magic.C. The universe.D. The book.4. According to the text, which of the following statements is the fact?A. Hawking has received many awards and prices except the Albert Einstein Award.B. The illness keeps him from moving and talking.C. He communicates with others by speaking.D. The illness stopped him from being successful.答案:1-4 DCAB阅读理解(二)Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, 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 and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks.It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump 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, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease(运动神经元病),an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realised that there were a lot of worthwhile(值得做的)things I could do.”Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair.”He once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”5. As a university student, Stephen Hawking _______.A. worked hardB. studied math and physicsC. was the best student in his classD. was lazy and did very little work6. Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him when _______.A. he was sent to hospital for testB. his mother made him see a doctorC. he was twentyD. he visited his family at Christmas time one year7. In the passage the word “incurable”means _______.A. 无法治愈的B. 难以确诊的C. 常见的D. 可以治愈的8. When Hawking was first diagnosed with motor neuron disease, he _______.A. made up his mind to get marriedB. became very sadC. thought that nothing in life was worth(值得的) doingD. began to see his life in a different way答案:5-8 DCAB。

霍金对黑洞提出全新解释Wait, so my life may not have disappeared down a black hole after all?等等,你刚才是说,我不会被黑洞所吞噬?There is a chance for it to emerge and bloom like the career of David Hasselhoff?It's charming when a phrase enters the language and we think we all know what it means. In the case of "black hole," we think of an infinity of black nothingness that swallows everything that slips into it.But now, in a new paper called "Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes," Stephen Hawking has cast the cat among the black, holey(多洞的) pigeons and cau sed a scattering of incomprehension.His precise words were: "The absence of event horizons mean that there are no black holes -- in the sense of r eg imes from which light can't escape to infinity."It seems clear. There are no forever and ever holes of blackness. There is always the chance that light might emerge.Hawking continued, however: "There are howe ver apparent horizons which persist for a period of time. This suggests that black holes should be redefined as metastable bound states of the gravitational field."So there are black holes. It's just that we should redefine them a touch. So what's this apparent horizon?Well, it's "a surface along which light rays attempting to rush away from the bla ck hole's core will be suspended."But if they're su spended, they will never emerge, stuck in solitary confinement like the Man in the Iron Mask. The result is surely still the same. Once something disappears into a black hole, it's done for.At times of existential stress like these, I turn to Nat ure magazinefor help. It suggests that, at least in theory (and, let's face it, this is all theory), black holes might at some point disappear.However, the magazine offers a dispiriting set of words from Don Page, a physicist from the University of Edmonton in Canada. It might be possible that particles could emerge from black holes, he said.Oh, cry of joy.However, if particle s did "it would be worse than tr ying to reconstruct a book that you burned from its ashes."Ah, now that's a feeling I'm familiar with.。

轮椅上的霍金阅读题答案

轮椅上的霍金阅读题答案

轮椅上的霍金阅读题答案斯蒂芬·威廉·霍金(Stephen William Hawking,1942年1月8日—2018年3月14日),男,出生于英国牛津,英国剑桥大学著名物理学家,现代最伟大的物理学家之一、20世纪享有国际盛誉的伟人之一。

下面给大家分享一些关于轮椅上的霍金阅读题答案,希望对大家有所帮助。

轮椅上的霍金在轮椅上坐了40年,全身只有三根手指会动,演讲和答问只能通过语音合成器来实现。

然而,他撰写的科普著作《时间简史》在全世界拥有无数的读者。

他就是“宇宙之王”史蒂芬·霍金。

命运对霍金十分残酷。

1963年,21岁的霍金在剑桥大学读研究生时,不幸患上了会导致肌肉萎缩的卢伽雷氏症,不久就完全瘫痪,被长期禁锢在轮椅上。

1985年,霍金又因患肺炎做了穿气管手术,又被彻底剥夺了说话的功能。

40年过去了,疾病已使他的身体彻底变形:他的头只能朝右边倾斜,肩膀也是左低右高,双手紧紧地并在当中,握着手掌大小的拟声器键盘,两只脚则朝内扭曲着。

嘴已经歪成S型,只要略带微笑,马上就会现出“龇牙咧嘴”的样子。

现在,这已经成了他的标志性形象。

他不能写字,看书必须依赖一种翻书的机器,读文献时必须让人将每一页平摊在一张大办公桌上,然后驱动轮椅如蚕吃桑叶般地逐页阅读。

医生曾诊断身患绝症的霍金只能活两年,但他一直顽强地活了下来,并且正是在这种令人难以想象的艰难中成为世界公认的科学巨人。

虽然,他的身体一点也没有离开过轮椅,但是,他的思维却飞出了地球,飞出了太阳系,飞出了银河系,飞到了上百亿光年外的宇宙深处,飞向了神秘莫测的黑洞。

他在大脑中想象着,论证着,计算着。

他思考着宇宙从什么时候开始,时间有没有尽头。

他发现了黑洞的蒸发性,推论出黑洞的大爆炸……他还建立了非常美的科学的宇宙模型。

他被选为最年轻的英国皇家学会会员,成为只有像牛顿这样的大科学家才能跻身的卢卡逊数学讲座的教授。

比起整天被人众星捧月般的顶礼膜拜,他宁愿一个人静静地思考宇宙的命运。

霍金-轮椅上的天才霍金----轮椅上的天才在新的千年到来之际,美国白宫曾进行了一系列的演讲,其中以科学为主题的演讲是《想像与变革---下一个千年的科学》。

它的演讲者就是英国剑桥大学应用数学与理论物理系教授、"轮椅天才"斯蒂芬·霍金。

他患有严重的残疾,双手只有3个手指能动。

这个极度残疾和极度聪明的科学家成了这次不同寻常演讲的理想人选。

外号叫"爱因斯坦"20世纪90年代,谈论宇宙学渐成一种时髦,宇宙大爆炸理论虽不是新的理论,但在公众心中却非常新颖。

特别是谈到霍金,人们表现出了极大的兴趣,并称他是自爱因斯坦之后最好的物理学家。

霍金是英国人。

他出生于1942年1月8日。

这一天恰好是意大利物理学家、近代物理学的奠基人伽利略逝世300周年的纪念日,几天前还是牛顿的生日:1643年1月4日。

当然,这并不意味着,呱呱坠地的小霍金头上罩上了金色的光环。

用霍金自己的话说:"我估计大约有二十万个婴儿在同日诞生"。

小霍金也像普通的小孩一样,喜欢玩具,着迷于玩具火车,甚至自己花钱买来了电动火车。

十几岁时,霍金还喜欢制作飞机模型和轮船模型,甚至尝试发明一些游戏,比如制作不同颜色零件的工厂、运送产品的公路和铁路,以及股票市场。

霍金和一个同学负责编制游戏的规则。

在编制这些游戏时,小霍金的目标是"建造我能控制的可以开动的模型","这些游戏及制作都来自于探究事物并且进行控制的要求"。

这种要求一直驱动霍金去"探究事物",甚至在后来的宇宙学研究中仍在起作用。

上学期间,霍金分在一个很好的班,尽管他的成绩名次从未进过前一半,但仍受到同学的尊敬,同学为他起了一个"外号"---爱因斯坦。

霍金在班上有一些要好的同学,他们喜欢听音乐,特别是古典音乐,如莫扎特、马勒、贝多芬,也到音乐厅去听音乐。

他们还经常讨论一些科学和宗教问题,例如宇宙的起源和宇宙的运行是否需要上帝的作用。
