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 men.Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.
Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds.They were born in the early 1940s to
middle class families — not wealthy but comfortably off, with a strong commitment to
academic excellence and public service.Both 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 1ife.Hawking describes the
attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very antiwork, “You were supposed to either be
brilliant without effort or fail.Hard 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 (本科生)．
Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins.Like Hawking, he wasn't
particularly hardworking and never attended his lectures.But 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 1962.Dawkins, 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 Gene.This 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
Einstein.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.Although 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
thinker.Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of
postwar British research.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了达尔文和霍金学习和成长的经历。
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。根据第二段中的“Both families were keen to send their boys to
Oxford University — and both succeeded”可知，两个家庭都非常重视孩子的教育。
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.

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。根据第六段中的“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.”可以推断，霍金经历的身体痛苦要比达尔文多。
4．What is the function of the last paragraph?
A．To state which book the writer prefers.
B．To recommend the reviewed books to readers.
C．To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.
D．To suggest the order in which the books should be read.
