答案与解析
本文介绍了被誉为东方居里夫人的女核物理学家吴健雄。
1.a 考查冠词。根据语境“一个家喻户晓的名字”可知,此处用不定冠词, household是辅音音素开始的单词, 其前用不定冠词a。
2.influential 考查词形转换。空处作定语修饰名词physicists,应用形容词,表“具有影响力的”, 故填influential。
3.wore 考查动词的时态。空处作谓语,且与句中已有的谓语spent时态一致,应用一般过去时, 故填wore。
4.graduating 考查非谓语动词。空前是介词after, 空后是介词from, 故此处应用动名词作宾语,填graduating。
5.as 考查介词。根据语境“在她作为核物理学家的44年生涯中”可知,此处表“作为”, 故用介词as。
6.and 考查连词。 她的昵称“Chinese Madame Curie”“queen of nuclear research”和“first lady of physics”是并列关系,应用并列连词and。
7.contributions 考查词形转换和名词的数。 空处作介词的宾语,且根据空前的介词among可知,此处用复数形式, 填contributions。
8.to confirm 考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语, 故空处为非谓语,表“第一个/第二个……做……的人”, the first/second .
