分析 本文是一篇人物介紹.介紹居里夫人大女兒 Irene Curie 的一生和她的成就.
解答 71.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段可知,第一次世界大戰(zhàn)開始后,Irene 幫助母親救助傷員,法國政府以軍功章的形式表示對她的貢獻的認可(Her serviceswere recognised in the form of a Military's Medal by the French government).所以艾琳•居里之所以獲得軍人獎章是因為她在搶救傷員方面做出了很多貢獻.故選B.
72.A 推理判斷題.
根據(jù)文章第四段可知:在 1918 年,Irene 在居里夫人研究院成為母親的助手,1924 年 12 月 Frederi c Joliot 加入了該研究院,Irene 教給他該項工作要求的技術,不久他們相愛了并于 1926年結婚,由此可推斷艾琳•居里是在居里研究所遇到后來成為她丈夫的弗雷德里克•約里奧.故選A.
73.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知,他們的第一個孩子出生于1927年,第二個孩子是五年后出生的,也就是1932年.故選A.
