www.ks5u.com单元综合检测(四).阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分；满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AThe advancement of human civilization is possible just because of enormous contribution made by scientists.They are one of the most influential people of todays world.With practical advantages in engineering，medicine and technology，they have helped us to grow better understanding about the world and different working phenomenon that governs us.Their names are remembered in the sands of time for their work in the welfare of mankind with different inventions that has made our modern lives easy.Here is a list of the four great scientists weve ever seen who changed the world.Louis Pasteur(18221895)Pasteur contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies，anthrax and other infectious diseases.He also invented the process of pasteurization(加热杀菌法)to make milk safer to drink.He probably saved more lives than any other person.Otto Hahn(18791968)Hahn was a German chemist who discovered nuclear fission(裂变)in 1939.He was a pioneering scientist in the field of radiochemistry，and discovered radioactive elements in 1921.He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944.Nikola Tesla(18561943)Tesla worked on electromagnetism and AC current.He obtained around 300 patents worldwide for his inventions from electricity to radio transmission，but many inventions developed by Tesla were not put into patent protection.He played a key role in the development of modern electricity.James Clerk Maxwell(18311879)Maxwell made great progress in understanding electromagnetism.His research in electricity and kinetics laid the foundation for quantum(量子)physics.Einstein said of Maxwell，“The work of James Clerk Maxwell changed the world forever.”【语篇解读】本文介绍了四位伟人，四个人都为社会变革做出了巨大的贡献。1What contribution did Louis Pasteur make to society?AThe development of medicine.BRadiochemistry.CModern electricity.DQuantum physics.A细节理解题。根据第二段“Pasteur contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies，anthrax and other infectious diseases.”可知，Louis Pasteur 促进了医学的发展。所以A选项是正确的。2Who was thought highly of by Einstein?ALouis Pasteur.BOtto Hahn.CNikola Tesla. DJames Clerk Maxwell.D细节理解题。根据最后一段“Einstein said of Maxwell，The work of James Clerk Maxwell changed the world forever.”可知，爱因斯坦对James Clerk Maxwell的评价很高。所以D选项是正确的。3What can we infer about the four people?AThey are medical pioneers.BThey are Nobel Prize winners.CThey are great contributors to society.DThey are founders of modern physics.C主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，他们四个人都是社会的重要贡献者，为社会变革做出了巨大的贡献。所以C选项是正确的。BMadame Curie，the youngest of the five children，was born in Warsaw，Poland in 1867.Marie Curies maiden name was Manya.Her parents were teachers，and she learned the importance of education at a very early age.No higher education was offered to women in Poland at that time，so Manya took a job as a tutor.She sent part of her income to Paris to help pay for her elder sisters medical studies.Her sister qualified as a doctor and married a fellow doctor in 1891.Manya went to joined them in Paris，changing her name to Marie.She entered the Sorbonne(now the University of Paris)and studied physics and mathematics，graduating at the top of her class.For the research she wanted to do，she was introduced to another young scientist，Pierre Curie.Later，they fell in love with each other.After she was rewarded the Nobel Prize，fame troubled Marie Curie and also her husband，because science was their world and in this world of science，fame and honor to persons had no value.One day when a writer for a newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself，her thoughts and her beliefs，she answered him，“In science we must be interested in things，not in persons.” Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman was found in these few words，which she was later often to repeat.One evening，at a big party，a friend asked if she would like to meet the King of Greece，who was also a guest.She answered in her simple manner，“I dont see the value of it.” Then，seeing that she hurt the feeling of her friend，she quickly added，“But.but.of course，I shall do whatever you please.Just as you please.”【语篇解读】居里夫人是一位伟大的科学家。本文简要介绍了她成为科学家前后的生活。从她的言辞中可以看出她淡泊名利的个性和人品。4What did Marie Curie once do to help pay for her elder sisters medical studies?AShe was a teacher.BShe was a doctor.CShe was a tutor. DShe was a waitress.C细节理解题。根据第一段第四句和第五句可知，居里夫人曾经做过家庭教师，并用自己的部分收入资助姐姐上学。5What was valuable to Marie Curie?AScience and research. BFame and honor.CCharacter and spirits. DPersons and things.A推理判断题。根据第三段首句可推知，居里夫人和她丈夫更看重科学和研究，名利对他们来说没有任何价值。6The writer for a newspaper was interested in_Athings BMarie CurieCMaries husband DpersonsD推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，给报社写稿的人试图向居里夫人了解有关她的情况，故可推知，这个人关注的是“人”。7What do you think might have
