【答案】BCBCADAABCBCCADDBDAC

【解析】

1，根据前面一句中，我的其他导师告诉我Stephen是整个部门里最耀眼的人，后面说很快我和Stephen的关系不是一般的导师和学生之间的关系可知，作者虽然认为Stephen聪明耀眼，但是与自己关系密切，所以用让步比较合适，答案选B.

2，由本段后文中可推出，我和Stephen关系密切是很明显的。

3，根据句意是由于霍金的残疾，所以学生需要以不同方式帮助他，四个选项中B项表示的是由于。

4，根据句意，虽然帮助残疾的霍金并不是什么艰难的工作，但是这让我们的关系变得亲密起来，所以选C比较合适，其他不适合句意。

5，根据句意，知此处选A合适，意思为；确实，我与霍金在一个办公室，和他家人同住过一段时间，陪伴他周游世界......

6，结合文章第二段和第三段讲的都是霍金的一些性格特征，所以知此处应选D.

7，由前文知学生通常对自己的导师怀有敬畏之心，supervisor在前文已出现过。

8，9，我常常把霍金视作无所不知之人，他的三言两语就足够让我对于困惑着的我的问题产生了新的见解，要没有他，我估计得自己琢磨好些时间呢。

10，复现词，后文中由，我对于提出了一个连霍金也要思考的问题感到印象深刻。

11，我没有想到他的简简单单一个字能产生如此巨大的后果。

12，我觉的这相当不安全，随意反推知霍金开车是相当吓人了。

13，经常有人问我霍金在伟大物理学家群中地位如何，可是成为一个伟大的物理学家由太多种方式，并不能像奥运会中的赛跑者一样被排名。

14，霍金他自己从来没有声称过自己和牛顿和爱因斯坦一样牛掰。

15，我强烈的反对有人说霍金的名气夸大了他的科学贡献。

16，当然，他的残疾是使他出名的因素之一，但是我怀疑当代由任何的科学家能够有资格埋在牛顿坟墓旁。

17，霍金的忌日是爱因斯坦的诞辰，霍金的诞辰又是伽利略的忌日，所以以如此额方式把霍金和其他两位科学家联系在一起很奇怪。

18，我怀疑这事和霍金有关，但是他肯定不会承认我们懂得时间的奥秘。

（霍金说任何的同步性是合理的，因为他的第一个发现就是时间的轨道会有一些奇怪的结点，而在这些结点会有奇怪的事情发生。

）

19，霍金是我认识并了解的当中最奇特的一个，所以选A比较合适。

20，并且能与他为友，我倍感荣幸。
