Hawking once 9 how he felt when f irst informed of his disease, 10 that he would never realize his potential. “But now, 50 years later, I 11 be more satisfied with my life,” he said.
Hawking also gained popularity 12 the science world and appeared in several TV shows. He was featured in the f ilm The Theory of Everything, which recorded his rise to honour and relationship with his f irst wife, Jane.
Professor James Hartle, who once worked with him, praised his unique ability to see through all the clutter (混乱) in physics and get to the 13 . “My memory of him would be first as a scientist and, second, as a human being whose story is a victory 14 misfortune, which inspired a lot of people.” Professor Jim Al-Khalili pictured Hawking as a humorous person. “He was a fun loving guy.

Passage 2
Do you think you have what it takes to be a successful scientist? A successful scientist is generally a good 16 . He makes full use of the facts he observes. He doesn’t accept ideas which are not based on obvious facts, and therefore 17 to accept authority(权威) 18 the only reason for truth. He always checks ideas 19 and makes experiments to prove them.
The 20 of modern science may perhaps be considered to 21 as far back as the time of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who lived between the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle Ages to 22 that we should learn science by observing and 23 on the things around us, and he himself 24 many important truths.
Galileo (1564—1642), however, who lived more than 300 years later, was the most greatest of several great men in Italy, France, Germany, and England, who began to show how many important truths could be discovered by observation by degrees. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 25 towards the earth than small ones, 26 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 27 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It is Galileo’s 28 of going direct to nature, and proving our opinions and theories by experiment, that has 29 all the discoveries of modern science.
What makes those people good scientists? From the 30 of Galileo, we know clearly that successful scientists are those whose observations have produced better results.

Passage 3
The Scientific Contributions of Marie Curie
Marie Curie was a pioneering scientist whose research in the field of radioactivity 31 the way for numerous scientific advancements. 32 facing significant challenges as a woman in a male-dominated field, Curie became the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in different scientific 33 - physics and chemistry.
Curie’s interest in science began at a young age, but 34 the restrictions placed on women in Poland at the time, she was unable to 35 higher education in her home country. Determined to follow her 36 , she moved to Paris in 1891 to study at the prestigious(有声望的) Sorbonne University. There, she earned degrees 37 physics and mathematics and met her future husband and research partner, Pierre Curie.
Together, the Curies conducted 38 research on radioactivity, a term that Mari e Curie herself 39 . In 1898, they discovered two new radioactive elements, polonium -named after Marie’s native Poland - and radium.
Following Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, Marie continued her research, eventually 40 pure radium metal in 1910. For this achievement, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911, making her the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. Her discoveries had significant practical applications, 41 in the field of medicine.
In addition to her scientific contributions, Marie Curie was a trailblazer(先驱) for women in science. At a time when women were often 42 from academic and scientific institutions, Curie broke barriers and became the first female professor at the Sorbonne. Her perseverance, 43 , and passion for discovery continue to inspire generations of scientists, especially women in STEM fields. Despite the personal 44 she made - such as the health problems she suffered because of prolonged exposure to radiation - Marie Curie’s contributions to science and humanity remain 45 .

Passage 5
She wasn't aiming to make history, But in the late 1990s, when Sumita Mitra, a chemist at 3M, 61 to use nanotechnology(纳米技术) to improve dental(牙齿的) fillings, that's exactly what happened. Now . 62 in dental offices-and almost every mouth, her fillings are certainly one of the life.
Any invention starts with a 63 and so did Mitra's fillings. Before the mid-1990s, fillings came in changing inventions two different 64 . One wasn't strong enough for stress-bearing roots of the teeth like biting surfaces, and the other was strong but could become rough from 65 and chewing. Dentists often had to use two types of materials for every filling, which created problems.
In the 1990s, nanotechnology became a growing field for scientific advances. Mitra thought that 66 nanoparticles(纳米粒子) could be used to make a filling, the result would both look nice and be able to 67 wear and tear(磨损). Mitra didn't have much 68 with nanotechnology, but scientists a 3M's research labs were 69 with it for other uses. She joined them and 70 some very unique combinations of nanoparticles. Realizing that nanoparticles could 71 all the requirements was one significant moment, but the ability to combine nanoparticles was the big breakthrough. Nanoparticles are all the same size, and Mitra realized that she could 72 them like a bunch of grapes. The work was groundbreaking and 73 the creation of a famous product-the 3M Filtek Supreme Universal Restorative. The product was the first successful 74 of nanotechnology in dental material and the first commercial application of nanotechnology at 3 M.
Though the invention isn't 75 used in other fields, it has really taken dentistry by storm. Patient and dentists are pleased with it.

The newspaper strongly 113 Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became 114 by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.”
To Alfred, this obituary was a(n) 115 . He spent his lifetime alone 116 things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will, so as to 117 his public image, and to be remembered for a good cause. In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last 118 , saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great 119 to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace.

It was correct, but abundant proof was still needed. He was 64 (determine) to find out why.
Snow began by 65 (mark) on a map the exact places 66 all those who died had lived. Snow doubted if the water pump was 67 (blame). At last, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump 68 (remove). Through his intervene, the disease was stopped in its tracks. 69 (fortunate), we now know how to prevent cholera, thanks 70 the work of John Snow. Moreover, Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases. For this reason, Snow is considered as father of modern epidemiology.

Passage 2
Do you think you have what it takes to be a successful scientist? A successful scientist is generally a good 16 . He makes full use of the facts he observes. He doesn’t accept ideas which are not based on obvious facts, and therefore 17 to accept authority(权威) 18 the only reason for truth. He always checks ideas 19 and makes experiments to prove them.
The 20 of modern science may perhaps be considered to 21 as far back as the time of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who lived between the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle Ages to 22 that we should learn science by observing and 23 on the things around us, and he himself 24 many important truths.
Galileo (1564—1642), however, who lived more than 300 years later, was the most greatest of several great men in Italy, France, Germany, and England, who began to show how many important truths could be discovered by observation by degrees. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 25 towards the earth than small ones, 26 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 27 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It is Galileo’s 28 of going direct to nature, and proving our opinions and theories by experiment, that has 29 all the discoveries of modern science.
What makes those people good scientists? From the 30 of Galileo, we know clearly that successful scientists are those whose observations have produced better results.

She wasn't aiming to make history, But in the late 1990s, when Sumita Mitra, a chemist at 3M, 61 to use nanotechnology(纳米技术) to improve dental(牙齿的) fillings, that's exactly what happened. Now . 62 in dental offices-and almost every mouth, her fillings are certainly one of the life.
Any invention starts with a 63 and so did Mitra's fillings. Before the mid-1990s, fillings came in changing inventions two different 64 . One wasn't strong enough for stress-bearing roots of the teeth like biting surfaces, and the other was strong but could become rough from 65 and chewing. Dentists often had to use two types of materials for every filling, which created problems.
In the 1990s, nanotechnology became a growing field for scientific advances. Mitra thought that 66 nanoparticles(纳米粒子) could be used to make a filling, the result would both look nice and be able to 67 wear and tear(磨损). Mitra didn't have much 68 with nanotechnology, but scientists a 3M's research labs were 69 with it for other uses. She joined them and 70 some very unique combinations of nanoparticles. Realizing that nanoparticles could 71 all the requirements was one significant moment, but the ability to combine nanoparticles was the big breakthrough. Nanoparticles are all the same size, and Mitra realized that she could 72 them like a bunch of grapes. The work was groundbreaking and 73 the creation of a famous product-the 3M Filtek Supreme Universal Restorative. The product was the first successful 74 of nanotechnology in dental material and the first commercial application of nanotechnology at 3 M.
Though the invention isn't 75 used in other fields, it has really taken dentistry by storm. Patient and dentists are pleased with it.
