4．Hawking has left much for Chinese to think about． British physicist Stephen Hawking，possibly the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein，gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August．
An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers． But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol（偶像）．His books，Such as A Brief History of Time（《時間簡史》），become best sellers in Chinese bookstores．"Hawking helps people expand their-horizons and become interested in science，"said Pan Yunhe，president of Zhejiang University．
Indeed，experts don't think it likely that Hawking's lectures and profound（深奧的） ideas will be easily understood by the average person． But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many young people．
And the"Hawking fever"caused by his visit has made people ask，"How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking？"
"Nurturing（培養(yǎng)）top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves，"said Zhang Fan．Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999and will be a sophomore（大學二年級學生）at Trinity College in October，2002．
In Britain，Zhang said，teachers encourage students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in． And they also encourage students to develop new ideas，which helps them to nurture their creativity．
In China，the Ministry of Education（教育部）has encouraged schools to provide quality education to tap（開發(fā)）student potential（潛力）．
"I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations（想象力） and solve problems on our own，"said Lu Jie，a 9th grader of Sanfan Middle School in Beijing．

解答 CCBAD
10 C 細節(jié)理解題．由第一段中的"But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol（偶像）．"可知他在科學方面持續(xù)不斷的努力使得很多年輕人以他為偶像，故選C．
11 C 猜測詞義題．由第二段Hawking helps people expand their-horizons and become interested in science，可知霍金幫助人們擴展他們的視野并且?guī)椭麄儗茖W感興趣，故選C．
12 B 細節(jié)理解題．由第一段的"experts don't think it likely that Hawking's lectures and profound（深奧的）ideas will be easily understood by the average person"，可知專家認為一般人是無法了解霍金的深奧的知識的．故選B．
13 A 細節(jié)理解題．由文章后三段內(nèi)容the Ministry of Education（教育部）has encouraged schools to provide quality education to tap（開發(fā)）student potential（潛力）．可知教育部鼓勵學習提高開發(fā)學生潛力的素質(zhì)教育，故選A．
14 D 細節(jié)理解題．由第二段Hawking helps people expand their-horizons and become interested in science，可知霍金幫助人們擴展他們的視野并且?guī)椭麄儗茖W感興趣，和倒數(shù)第二段的the Ministry of Education（教育部）has encouraged schools to provide quality education to tap（開發(fā)）student potential（潛力）．可知教育部鼓勵學習提高開發(fā)學生潛力的素質(zhì)教育，可知ABC正確，故選D．
點評 一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題．
閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面．閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力．考生必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡，把握語篇實質(zhì)．
二、看題干，帶著問題讀文章．
首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調(diào)等，這類題必須經(jīng)過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等．其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章進行掃讀，對有關信息進行快速定位．此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準確率．
三、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題．
在實際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關系，研究細節(jié)的暗示，推敲作者的態(tài)度，理解文章的寓義．要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全．推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎．
猜詞是應用英語的重要能力．它不但需要準確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認識較多的課外詞匯．我們要學會"順藤摸瓜"，通過構(gòu)詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義．
