On March 14, 2018, Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory (理论) that the universe (宇宙) began with the big bang (大爆炸) and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A brief History of Time, which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone that had a strong will and optimistic attitude (乐观心态).
When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and speak using a computer. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. He traveled around the world for science meetings, visiting every continent (大洲), including Antarctic (南极洲). In 1985, he took a train trip around China. He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek (从星际迷航) and the Big Bang Theory (生活大爆炸). He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. He hoped to travel into space one day.
Hawking left our universe forever. One of science’s brightest stars went dark.

Have you ever heard of satellites(卫星)? What are they used for?
Satellites are helping to forecast(预报)the weather now. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change so that it can work better for people.
Nowadays, more and more countries have weather satellites. Nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive the new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say the weather will change soon. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the meteorologists could only forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for about two weeks. Soon they may be able to forecast the weather for more than two weeks or more ahead.
With the development of the society, weather satellites will work better and better in people’s life.

When they receive the new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say the weather will change soon. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the meteorologists could only forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for about two weeks. Soon they may be able to forecast the weather for more than two weeks or more ahead.
With the development of the society, weather satellites will work better and better in people’s life.

52. because
53. best 54. at
55. winning
56. luck 57. were
58. babies 59. high
60. choose
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了中国人对数字“8”的喜爱及原因。
【51题详解】
句意:在中国,幸运数字的发音与幸运词的发音相似。分析句子可知此处缺少名词,表示“幸运的意思”故填mean“意思是”的名词形式meaning“意思” ,meaning是可数名词,前面没有a,故用其复数形式,故填meanings。
【52题详解】
句意:例如,数字8是最受欢迎的数字,因为在汉语中,它发音为ba,听起来类似“发”,意思是“致富”。前后是两个完整的句子,所以用连词,且两个句子之间有因果关系,because因为,引导原因状语从句,故填because。
【53题详解】
句意:也许2008年北京奥运会就是一个最好的例子来说明中国人对8这个数字的热爱。空前有定冠词the, 说明是形容词最高级,good的最高级是best,故填best。
【54题详解】
句意:开幕式于8月8日下午8:00后8分8秒举行。“8 minutes and 8 seconds past 8:00 p.m.”表示“8点8分8秒”,和具体的时间点连用的时间介词是at,故填at。
【55题详解】
句意:这是为了在这场大赛中获得最大的胜利。空前有介词of所以后面用动名词形式作宾语,win的动名词形式为winning,故填winning。
56题详解】
句意:中国夫妇也希望数字8能给他们的孩子带来好运。分析句子可知此处缺少名词;lucky好运的,形容词对应的名词为luck“运气,好运”,不可数名词,故填luck。
【57题详解】
句意:2008年,约有1700万新生儿。根据时间“In 2008”,可知此处用一般过去时,there be句型的过去时态就是把be改为过去式,根据“about 17 million newborns”可知be用were,故填were。
【58题详解】
句意:其中许多婴儿在8月左右出生。后面谓语动词were是复数形式,所以此处用baby“婴儿”的复数形式babies,故填babies.
【59题详解】
句意: 句意:带有“8888”的车牌可以以很高的价格出售。根据“Chinese people’s love for the number 8 can be seen even in small things such as number plates”可知带有“8888”的车牌可以以很高的价格出售,high高的,用来修饰价格,high price高价格,故填high。
【60题详解】
句意:当中国人选择楼层号码、电话号码或活动日期时,他们也更喜欢带有 8 的数字。分析句子可知此处缺少谓语动词,该句描述的一般事实,所以用一般现在时;choice选择,名词,对应的动词为choose,根据“the Chinese”泛指中国人,本身是复数,所以填写动词原形,故填choose。

阅读填空
A friend’s grandfather came to America from East Europe. After arriving at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order.
Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray (餐盘) full of food sat down opposite him and told him how cafeteria worked.
“Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”
“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” The grandfather told a friend, “Life’s a cafeteria. You can get anything you want as long as you are ready to pay the price. You can even get success. But you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”
In fact, life is like a cafeteria. Don’t wait for success to come to you. And success is in your own hands.
61. Grandfather knew ________ about the cafeteria ________ the woman told him about it.
62. The woman told Grandfather how to ________ a ________ in a cafeteria.

【导语】本文收一篇记叙文,讲述作者的祖父来到美国的一家自助餐厅吃饭,祖父坐在座位上等着别人来给他点单,直到一位女士告诉他食物要自取。祖父从中悟出道理:成功不是等来的,要靠自己去争取。
【61题详解】
根据“After arriving at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order.”可知,在女士告诉祖父关于自助餐厅的规则之前,祖父对餐厅一无所知(或者:直到女士告诉祖父自助餐厅的取餐规则,祖父才了解这家餐厅),know nothing about “对……一无所知,对……不了解”;before“在……之前”;not...until “直到……才……”。故填nothing;before/until。
【62题详解】
根据“At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay”可知,女士告诉祖父如何付款。order a meal“点餐”,buy a meal“买一顿饭”,meal“餐”,可数名词用冠词“a”修饰。故填order/buy;meal。
【63题详解】
根据“He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order”可知,祖父在自助餐厅坐着等他人为他点餐,可推断出祖父是第一次到自助餐厅吃饭。故填first;time。
【64题详解】
根据“Don’t wait for success to come to you”可知,作者认为等待成功降临是不对的,动词不定式后面接动词原形。故填wait;for。
【65题详解】
根据“Life’s a cafeteria. You can get anything you want as long as you are ready to pay the price. You can even get success. But you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself”可知,生活就像自助餐厅,在自助餐厅和生活中,你都需要亲自采取行动,获取自己想要的东西。both...and...“……和……”,连接并列成分。故填both;and。
