答案： 1-5 CACDB 6-10 DADCB

Stephen Hawking, the famous scientist, passed away peacefully when he was 76 on 14 March, 2018, at his home in Cambridge, England.
Hawking was a famous physicist. His 1988 book A Brief History of Time became an international best-seller and made him world-famous. Hawking was also known worldwide for explaining subjects like the beginning of the universe (宇宙) and his successful research on black holes. His work is known as Hawking radiation.
He got the ALS(渐冻症) in 1963. At that time, doctors said he would only live a few years. But he proved them wrong by living for over 50 years more and going on with his scientific work. The disease finally put him in a wheelchair and took away his ability to speak. For many years, Hawking communicated by using a special tool but not in his own voice.
In his 2013 book My Brief History, Hawking wrote about his ideas of the illness, “I felt it was very unfair — why should this happen to me? At the time, I thought my life was over and that I would never realize the ability I felt I had.” “But now, my goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is a complete understanding of the universe — what it is and why it is there.”
Hawking was a big supporter of human space travel, especially the space travel to the Moon and Mars. He said it would help humans in a common purpose of spreading themselves beyond the Earth. “We are running out of space and the only places to go are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I believe that humans need to leave the Earth,” he once said.
