A
Some of the greatest scientists of all time are women who have made important discoveries in a variety of fields in science. Several of their contributions throughout history are even more than men's contributions. Our list of the most famous female scientists below are organised in order of popularity so you can read about the advancements that they made.
Marie Curie (1867－1934)
Famous For: Work on radioactivity
Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and the only woman to win this award in two fields: Physics and Chemistry. She discovered polonium and radium and her work helped with the creation of X-rays.
Jane Goodall (1934)
Famous For: Primate (灵长类) studies
Jane Goodall is known world-wide for her groundbreaking studies on primates. She is considered as the top expert on chimps in the world and is perhaps best known for her 45-year study on the social lives of these animals in Tanzania.
Rita Levi-Montalcini (1909－2012)
Famous For: Nerve growth studies
Rita Levi-Montalcini was a neurologist (神经病学家) who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1986 for her findings in Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). She was the first Nobel Prize winner to live past her 100th birthday.
Lise Meitner (1878－1968)
Famous For: Work on radioactivity and nuclear physics
Lise Meitner was a key member of a group that discovered nuclear fission (裂变). One of her colleagues, Otto Hahn, was given the Noble Prize for this work. That Meitner didn't get the award is considered to be a huge error by the Nobel committee.

With the world's attention on vaccines (疫苗), now it feels like a good moment to sing the praises of an often forgotten contributor to their development. Three hundred years ago this month, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu got her daughter inoculated (接种) against smallpox, making her child the first person in the West to be protected in this way. Without Montagu's willingness to adopt a practice she had learned from other cultures, the introduction of vaccines around 80 years later would never have taken place.
Montagu first witnessed inoculation when she accompanied her husband to Turkey. Inoculation had started in Asia, probably in China, as early as the 10th century AD. Montagu observed how older women in Turkey took a tiny amount of pus (脓) from a person with smallpox. They then used needles to make cuts on people's wrists and ankles and added the pus to their bloodstream. This helped people gain immunity from future infection.
Like other visitors to the country, Montagu took steps to ensure that her daughter was inoculated. This worked well, but she knew that trying it in England would be far more challenging. Inoculation performed by unlicensed amateurs would threaten doctors' professional standing and potentially rob them of valuable income. Some people also disagree with the practice, as they saw it as going against nature.
Back in England, Montagu observed the increased severity of smallpox infections. Eventually, in April 1721, she decided to use the Turkish practice to have her daughter inoculated, because she believed that the rewards would outweigh the risks. After a safe time had passed following the inoculation, Montagu allowed doctors to examine her daughter.
Doctors in Britain gradually accepted the practice. About 80 years later, a pioneering physician found smallpox vaccines to destroy smallpox completely. As early as last century, academics argued that Montagu was no more than an enthusiastic amateur. In truth, she made a vital scientific contribution towards finding the cure for smallpox.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。三百年前，英国的Mary Wortley Montagu在土耳其目睹了当地妇女接种天花疫苗后，决定将这种技术带回英国，给女儿接种天花疫苗。她冲破重重阻力，终于成功接种，并得到了当地医生的认可和推广。
4．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The origin of smallpox inoculation.
B．Montagu's first access to inoculation.
C．The benefits from smallpox inoculation.
D．Turkish women's invention of inoculation.
解析：选B 段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，该段主要讲述了Montagu在土耳其目睹当地人预防天花的经过，故B项正确。
5．Montagu found it difficult to try inoculation in England because ________.
A．it was against human nature
B．it might harm doctors' interests
C．it was beyond doctors' abilities
D．it might shake some people's belief
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，由无执照的业余人士进行接种会威胁到医生的职业地位并有可能剥夺他们宝贵的收入。据此可知，在英国接种天花疫苗很困难是因为这损害了当地医生的利益，故B项正确。
6．What led doctors in Britain to accept inoculation
A．The increased severity of smallpox infections.
B．A physician's discovery of smallpox vaccines.
C．The result of Montagu's daughter's inoculation.
D．Montagu's focus on its rewards rather than its risks.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段尾句可知，在接种疫苗后的一段安全时间过后，Montagu同意医生为她的女儿进行检查。再根据第五段首句可知，英国医生逐渐接受了接种天花疫苗。据此可知，由于Montagu给她的女儿成功接种了天花疫苗，故英国医生开始接受这一尝试。故C项正确。
7．What might be the best title of the text
A．An Unsung Hero
B．No Limit to Creation
C．Development of Vaccines
D．A Historic Medical Innovation
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了推动天花疫苗接种的先行者Montagu的故事。她勇敢地给她的女儿尝试接种并获得成功，从而使英国的医生逐渐接受了天花疫苗的接种。故A项最适合作为本文标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Excellence is a form of currency (通货). While a commitment to excellence can help you gain true wealth and realize the inbuilt value of your potential, a lack of commitment devalues potential and reputation.
If you are to become the person you meant to be on the day you were born, do whatever you do with all your might. __8__ If you accept being average and ordinary, life will make you average and ordinary.
__9__ But it has everything to do with decision, commitment and action. And excellence is a destination for anyone who appreciates, respects, and demonstrates hard work and good judgement!
We all have a range of career choices and opportunities. But we expand the range and quality of our choices when we practise excellence. __10__ So attempt to make every opportunity one of importance because every opportunity counts.
What is considered excellent today will become the minimum cost of admission tomorrow. __11__ Obviously, the bar is constantly being raised. If you don't produce excellent results consistently, someone else will.
There is no mercy period for averageness, and you must have a zero tolerance policy for it. People expect the best. __12__ So never relax the rules of excellence. When you face quality, you suffer physical and emotional withdrawal from your goals. You should have the belief that the efficiency of your business and life are infinite (无限的), that everything can be improved upon, and that every project can be completed in an excellent fashion. Why Because when it comes to excellence, everything counts!
A．Being average is a choice.
B．You're only as good as your last performance.
C．It creates confidence and enhances peace of mind.
D．And we reduce them when we accept being average.
E．If they can't get it from you, they'll find it elsewhere.
F．You will never live longer than its importance and usefulness.
G．Being world-class has nothing to do with size, education, or bloodline.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了卓越的重要性，并介绍了追求卓越的方法。
8．选A 根据空后一句可知，如果你接受普通和平凡，生活将会使你变得普通和平凡。这是对设空处的解释说明，故设空处的内容与“平凡”有关，A项中的average和设空后的“average and ordinary”相呼应。
9．选G 空后的But表明设空处和空后一句之间是转折关系。G项中的“has nothing to do with ...”和下文“has everything to do with ...”形成对比。故选G项。
10．选D 空后的So表明设空处和下文是因果关系，D项即是设空处后一句的原因，同时D项中的them指代前面提到的“the range and quality of our choices”， reduce也与前面的expand形成对比。故选D项。
11．选B 根据空后两句可知，显然，标准在不断提高。如果你不能持续创造出色的结果，其他人会。这说明只有不断提高，才能变得卓越。故选B项。
12．选E 空后的So表明前后是因果关系，设空处强调原因，再结合空前一句(人们期盼最好的)可知，E项(如果人们无法从你身上获取最好的，他们就会另觅他处)符合语境。

参考范文：
Born in an intellectual family in Poland on November 7,1867, Marie Curie, also known as Madame Curie, showed great interest in physics when she was young.
Because of having no chance of being admitted to a university in Poland as a woman at that time, she went to France for further studies and received a degree in physics. In addition, Madame Curie held such an attitude towards life that the weak wait for opportunities while the strong create them.
With strong will and great determination, Madame Curie achieved great success in discovering radium, which enabled her to win the Nobel Prize. It is because she has made great contributions to the world of science that she is regarded as one of the greatest female scientists on account of what she did.
