【解析】

试题分析：文章以霍金的事迹为例，告诉我们要不畏艰难，勇于实现自己的人生价值。

【1】But 根据前面的live a happy and peaceful life和后面的a serious disease and will die soon.可知，此处表示转折，故填But。注意大写开头。

【2】Probably 副词修饰整个句子，故填Probably。

【3】what 句意：这是伟大的科学家Stephen Hawking所做的。从句缺少引导词，缺少宾语，根据句意故填what。

【4】discouraged 句意：Hawking没有感到丧失信心。discouraged气馁的。

【5】Instead 句意：Hawking没有因为身体状况而丧失信心，相反，他继续他的宇宙研究。故填Instead。

【6】on 句意：关于一些大问题的理论和思想。表示“关于……”用on。

【7】wisdom 句意：他的幽默、自信，当然还有他的智慧。根据句意可知此处用名词形式，故填wisdom。

【8】which A Brief History of Time是先行词，指物，而且前面有介词，故用which。

【9】has been selling 句意：自从出版，这本书一直畅销。since“自从……以来”，和现在完成时态和现在完成进行时态连用；sell well销量很好（主动表示被动），根据句意可知，用现在完成进行时态，故填has been selling。

【10】greatest 句意：自从Albert Einstein之后，他被当作物理界最伟大的科学家。根据句意用最高级，故填greatest。

【知识拓展】

1.Since自从……以来（可作介词和连词），和现在完成时态连用，根据语境也可和现在完成进行时态连用。He has lived here since he came. 自从他来到这里，就一直在这里住着。

2.It is /has been+一段时间+since 主语+一般过去时态+其他。自从做某事有多长时间了。

在这个句型中如果从句的动作是终止性动词，则表示从动作开始到现在多长时间了；如果从句的动作是持续性动词，则表示从动作结束到现在多长时间了。It is three years since he joined (终止性动词)the army.他参军有三年了；It is five years since he lived（持续性动词）here.他离开这有五年了。
