【題目】Choose the best answer（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢福?/span>

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking is worth reading, especially for those who love science, space, physics, and the universe (宇宙). About half of Hawking’s text is rather hard to understand, which must be the reason why he added pictures to newer editions. Some of the “abstract (抽象)” things are hard to imagine, so the pictures help you understand.

This book is based on theoretical physics (理論物理). Most people read the cover and think that it will be way over their heads, but it’s not. There are two ways to read it. You can read the chapter overviews, which are basic and you’ll still learn a lot, but it won’t be too difficult. Or, you can read the full details (細(xì)節(jié)) in each chapter, which is how you’ll learn the most.

This book makes references (參考) to other physicists, history, and current social and economic issues (問題), and explains how each of us is involved in the universe. Dr. Hawking also openly says “I think” about things. He gives his view on matters and shows the facts to help you see what you think the answer is, so it seems as if (好像) he was talking directly to you.

The reason why I love this book more than any other physics “text” is because Dr. Hawking wrote it like a novel. He’s telling a story, the story of the universe, and it’s just fun to read!

I always want to know how and why something is, and in this book Dr. Hawking always answers this question as best he can. If he can’t give you a definite answer, he’ll tell you what he thinks and help you develop your own opinion. I truly hope that you will read this unusual book.

【1】Stephen Hawking added pictures to A Brief History of Time to ________.

A.make it more attractive to readersB.make it easy to understand

C.help you to develop your imaginationD.show you more about the universe

【2】The underlined phrase “over their heads” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A.higher than their headsB.rather difficult for them to understand

C.very easy for them to readD.too high for them to reach

【3】If you ________, you’ll learn the most about the book.

A.read the full details in each chapterB.read the chapter overviews

C.draw pictures according to the bookD.read the cover of the book

【4】What makes you feel as if Dr Hawking was talking directly to you? ________

A.He tells me what he thinks and helps me develop my own opinion.

B.He openly says “I think” about things.

C.He always answers how and why something is as best he can.

D.He gives his view on matters and shows the facts to help me see what I think the answer is.

【5】According to the writer, A Brief History of Time is ________.

A.expensiveB.boringC.interestingD.confusing

【6】We can get the idea from this passage that ________.

A.Hawking doesn’t answer all the questions about the universe

B.the book can’t make references to other physicists

C.the book doesn’t deal with the economy but science

D.Hawking can talk to everyone face to face
