参考答案:

1.B2.C3.A4.D

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了居里夫人的艰苦生活和她在科学上的伟大成就。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段第二句"Herparents,bothteachers,hadsmallsalariesandwerequite

poor,especiallyafterhermotherstoppedteachingtoraisefivechildrenandtakecareofherpoor

health.（她的父母都是教师，工资很低，而且很穷，尤其是在她母亲为了抚养五个孩子和照顾

她不好的身体而停止教学之后。户可知，居里夫人的妈妈放弃了工作来抚养五个孩子和照顾

自己身体的时候，家里更贫穷了。故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句"Excellentasshewasinherstudies,shecouldn'tgoon

withtheadvancededucationsheneededbecausePolandwasthenruledbyRussiaandwomen

werenotpermittedtogotocollege.（尽管她的学习成绩很好，但她无法继续接受她所需要的高

等教育，因为当时波兰被俄罗斯统治，女性不允许上大学。厂可知，当时的波兰学校里是不

收女学生的，C项符合题意。故选C。

3.推理判断题。根据第三段“Inordertocontinuehereducation,shesmoothedawaymany

difficultiesandenteredParisUniversity,whereshelivedasimplelifeandstudiedhard,soshe

graduatedwiththehighestgradesinherclass.（为了继续深造，她克服了重重困难，考入了巴黎

大学。在巴黎大学，她生活简单，学习刻苦，所以她以全班第一的成绩毕业。户可知，她毕

业时的分数是班上最高的。由此推断，这个事实可以表明她是班上最棒的学生。故选A。

4.主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了居里夫人的人生中一些重要的事情。所以“A

BriefIntroductionofMadameCurielLife（居里夫人的生活简介）”作为文章标题最为合适。故

选D。

5.C6.C7.C8.B

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了袁隆平的具体情况。

5.细节理解题。根据hobbies中的“Listeningtoviolinmusic”（听小提琴音乐）可知，袁隆平

最喜欢小提琴音乐。故选C项。

6.细节理解题。表格中提到了名字；国籍；职业。文章中未提到出生地。故选C项。

7.细节理解题。根据表格中的“Sept.7,1930”可知，袁隆平出生在1930年。故选C项。

8.细节理解题。根据Dream中的“Toexporthishybridrice（杂交水稻）sothatitcanbegrown

aroundtheglobe"（把他的杂交水稻出口，以至于在世界各地都能种植）可知，B选项“袁隆

平希望他的杂交水稻只在中国种植”错误。故选B项。

9.C10.B11.C12.A

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要写了著名的科学家霍金用科学的幽默来对待自己的生

活，他把物理学和幽默紧密地联系在一起。

9.推理判断题。根据第一段“Hawkingwasoneofthemostfamousscientistsintheworld.But

humorwasalwaysabigpartofHawking'sefforttobringphysicstothemasses.Inhis2010book,

TheGrandDesign,forinstance,hedescribeshow,in1277,thereligiousgovernmentdeclared

scientificlawssuchasgravitytobewrong,sincetheyseemedagainsttheirbelief.Interestingly,5,

thetextaddsinahumorousway,!lthereligiousleaderwaskilledbytheeffectsofthelawof

gravityafewmonthslaterwhentheroofofhispalacefellinonhim.”（霍金也许是世界上最著名

的科学家之一。但幽默一直是霍金努力将物理学带给大众的重要组成部分。例如，在他2010

年出版的《大设计》一书中，他描述了1277年天主教会如何宣布万有引力等科学定律是错

误的，因为它们似乎违背了上帝的理念。“有趣的是，”文字调皮地补充道，”几个月后，教

皇约翰被万有引力定律的影响杀死了，当时他的宫殿屋顶掉下来砸在了他身上。“广可知，

教皇约翰否定万有引力，却被万有引力定律的影响杀死了，霍金之所以在他的书中提到教皇

约翰，是想以这种幽默的方式向大众展示物理学。故选C。

10.推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句"ButHawkingrolledoverdifficultyasifitwerejusta

rockunderhiswheelchair.uLifewouldbetragic（悲剧的）,“heoncesaid,“ifitweren't

fimny.”（但霍金克服困难，就好像它只是他轮椅下的一块石头。他曾经说过:“如果生活不有

趣，那它就是悲剧。”广可知，霍金虽然身处逆境，但他对生活的态度是乐观积极的，对生

活中的逆境持有的态度。故选B。

11.细节理解题、根据最后一段的"Itwasa"welereceptionforfuturetimetravelers/'hesaid,so

naturallyhesentouttheinvitationsthedayaftertheparty.Nooneshowedupyet."Maybeone

daysomeonelivinginthefuturewillfindtheinformationanduseawormholetimemachinetoe

backtomyparty,Hawkingexplained."（他说，这是一场“欢迎未来时间旅行者的招待会”，所

以很自然地，他在派对的第二天就发出了邀清。然而没有人来。“也许有一天，生活在未来

的某个人会发现这些信息，并使用虫洞时光机来参加我的派对。”霍金解释道。）”可知，没

有人出现在霍金举办的鸡尾酒会上是因为还没有时光机这样的东西。故选Co

12.主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句"Hawkingwasoneofthemostfamousscientistsintheworld.

ButhumorwasalwaysabigpartofHawking'sefforttobringphysicstothemasses.（霍金也许是

世界上最著名的科学家。但购默一直是霍金努力将物理学带给大众的重要组成部分。广，第

三段第一句"SoHawkingmadejokes.（所以霍金会讲笑话。）”和最后一段最后一句"Afterall,he

nevermissedachancetohave毕竟，他从不错过任何一个玩乐的机会。）“可知，本文讲

述了著名科学家霍金幽默的一面。他把物理学和幽默紧密地联系在一起。因此推断A项“霍

金幽默的一面”为最佳标题。故选A。

13.C14.B15.A

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一项名为“我是科学家”的项目以及参与该项目的

一些科学家的故事。

13.细节理解题。通读全文，根据第一段“Aprojectcalled"IAmAScientisf,isgivingmiddleand

highschoolstudentstheopportunitytointeractwithmodemdayresearchers.Belowarestories

fromsomeofthescientistswhoareinvolvedintheprogram.（一项名为“我是科学家”的项目为中

学生提供了与现代研究人员互动的机会。以下是参与该项目的一些科学家的故事）”和Noor

AlAlusi,Epidemiologist部分中“IhaveablackbeltinTaekwondo（跆拳道）.（我是跆拳道黑带）”

和RyojiAmamoto,Neurobiologist部分中Tmahugesportsfan.Tvetraveledtomorethan40

国家。我有潜水执照，但游泳技术很差）”以及YamiciaConnor,PhysicianScientist部分中“I

oncepetedinarobotpetition.IloveBeyonce.Ilovecooking.（我曾经参加过一个机器人比赛。

我喜欢Beyonce。我喜欢烹饪）”可知，文章介绍了参与该项目的一些科学家的个人爱好。由

此可知，通过这个项目，学生们能了解科学家的个人兴趣。故选C项。

14.细节理解题。根据NoorAlAlusi,Epidemiologist部分中“Herwork:DuringtheZika

epidemic,AlAlusimetwiththemunitiesthathadbeenhardesthitbythevirus,usingdataand

mathematicalmodelstokeepthemsafeandhealthy.（她的工作：在寨卡疫情期间，AlAlusi会见

了受病毒影响最严重的社区，使用数据和数学模型来保证他们的安全和健康）”可知，Noor

AlAlusi的工作是利用数据和数学模型来对抗病毒。故选B项。

15.推理判断题。根据第一段"Aprojectcalled"IAmAScientist"isgivingmiddleandhigh
