【解析】这篇短文给我们介绍了著名的科学家—霍金，他在21岁时得了一种很严重的病，要靠轮椅行走。但他没有放弃他的科学研究，在1988年他写出了著名的《时间简史》。2018年3月14日，霍金去世，他是这个世界上最伟大的科学家之一。

【1】根据1处空格的下句话After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973可知，这里提到的是在他离开天文研究所之后…，因此这个空格应先告诉我们他在剑桥大学的天文研究所工作，故应选B。2处的上句话说的是霍金在21岁的时候，得了一种严重的疾病；下句话提到He continued to do his research in the field of science他继续他的研究，因此我们可以知道，他并没有放弃，故应选A。

【2】这句话中使用了短语devote…to致力于，奉献于…，后面跟名词或者动名词形式；scientific research科学研究。因此这句话的意思是：他致力于他的科学研究。

【3】根据短文中When he was 21 years old, he caught a serious disease.可知，霍金在21岁的时候，得了一种严重的疾病。因此这里填数字21或者英文twenty-one。

【4】die的意思是“死，死亡，”同义词是pass away，意思是“去世”。

【5】根据短文的最后一句话We can learn his exploring spirit from him.可知，我们应从霍金的身上学习他的探索精神。
