题目内容：

Today many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work.

One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didn’t know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, But it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact? Marie Curie thought that there must be another source of radiation in this material.

In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, And one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation.

Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.

最佳答案：

小题1:A

小题2:C

小题3:D

小题4:D

答案解析：

小题1:细节题。由文中的这句In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation.可知答案选A。

小题2:细节题。由文章第二段和第三段可知居里夫妇做了很多的实验，终于发现了镭元素，故答案选C。

小题3:推断题。由第一段的In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work.可知过去人们认为女人不会像男人一样把工作做好，故答案选D。

小题4:细节题。由最后一段的Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.可知答案选D。

点评：文章通过对镭是如何被发现的来说明居里夫人这个人物对世界科学方面所做的贡献，同时更说明了女人也可以像男人一样把工作做好，只要给予她们平等的机会和权利。文章思路清晰，主旨鲜明，带着问题，通读全文，找寻答案。
