Mike White wasn’t too concerned when his five-year-old dog, BuzzMan, hadn’t returned last February. Si, it had been a few hours, so using his cell phone, White followed the sound from the GPS on the dog to a narrow cave entrance just large enough for a dog like BuzzMan. There were fresh dog prints outside. Now White was much more concerned.
Brewington and Mirza were called in for help. They arrived at once and set about enlarging the entranceway by hand. The passageway was just three feet high, forcing the two men to slowly crawl(爬行), the only light coming from headlamps attached to their helmets(头盔). They stopped when they hit a tight space and returned to the outside world.
When BuzzMan hadn’t appeared by Sunday afternoon, smaller volunteers were called in. At 5:00 p.m., four new cavers, two men and two women, moved through the entrance. What added to their difficulty was the dangerous cave floods. “If it rains,” Mirza says, “the cave will kill people.” That night’s weather forecast: rain.
After an hour or so, they reached a difficult situation and could go no farther. Still, one of them, Romanak, decided to push a bit farther before quitting. He crawled 30 feet more, and the passage gave way to a large room. And there was BuzzMan, standing on a narrow rock. Romanak gently attached a chain to his collar, helping him off the rock and out.
At 9:30 p.m.—30 hours later, BuzzMan got out of the cave, running straight to Mike White and licking him by wet kisses.
In total, eight cavers answered the request to rescue Buzz Man on a volunteer basis and were thought highly of by the community. Mirza laughed off the praise. After all, going into tight spaces was their hobby. “What we consider fun,” he said, “often makes most people frightened.”
4. Why did Mike White feel much more concerned?
A. He had difficult yin following the dog’s GPS.
B. His dog might be stuck in a dangerous situation.
C. The cave entrance was large enough for his dog.
D. The rescuers failed to arrive at the scene in time.
5. What increased the difficulty for the cavers?
A. The dark light of the headlamp.
B. The shortage of the manpower.
C. The coming floods of the cave.
D. The length of the passageway.
6. What can we know from the article?
A. The size of the passageway was suitable for the cavers.
B. White and Buzz Man were very attached to each other.
C. It was Mirza who helped Buzz Man off the rock and out.
D. Eight cavers participating in the rescue were well paid.
7. What message does Mirza express in the last paragraph?
A. Many hands make light work.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D. One man’s meat is another man’s poison.
C
Chinese government and tech companies are working together to speed up the digitalization(数字化) of rarely used Chinese characters, which will allow them to be recognized by computers as the country's banks, hospitals and government departments move deals online. However, for lack of technical support, many people's names and place names can not be put in. This has caused troubles in life, such as opening bank accounts and booking transportation tickets.
The public are now invited to photograph unusual characters and send them through a mini program fixed into We Chat, a popular messaging app. If they pass expert approval, they will be added to China's official set of coded (编码的) characters, known as GB 18030. The latest version of GB18030 has more than 80, 000 Chinese characters. However, most computers only support the input and display of about 30, 000 commonly used characters.
Roughly 60 million people in China have names that contain rare characters and a significant number of place names and ancient texts have difficulty being digitalized due to unrecognized characters contained within.
Lin Sumiao, a lawyer based in Beijing, said her name, containing a rare character “su”, was constantly shown as “miao” on exam admission cards when she was in school, and the situation still happens when she prints flight boarding passes.
Lin is unwilling to change her given name as it carries special significance to her. The character “su” consists of characters “geng” and “sheng”, the latter part of the phrase “zi li geng sheng” meaning“to rely on oneself.“The character contains my parents' wish for me to grow up into an independent soul,” she said.
Digitalizing the Chinese characters is difficult, as each character must be represented in a unique form. The digitalization of uncommon characters is a complex systematic project, which requires government guidance and contributions by input methods, program developers, and operating systems.
Despite the difficulties involved, digitalization must continue to not only solve practical problems, but also to protect and pass down Chinese culture. Every rare character is a part of cultural treasures. They shall not be lost in the digital time nor become a block to digital society.
8. Why does the government quicken the digitalization of rare Chinese characters?
A. To get the public familiar with more rare names.
B. To provide technical support for people's daily work.
C. To make it possible to put in uncommon characters.
D. To encourage online businesses across the country.
9. What can we say about GB 18030?
A. It is part of a We Chat program.
B. It is a system of coded characters.
C. It consists of rare Chinese characters.
D. It is fully supported by most computers.
10. What can be inferred from Lin Sumiao’s case?
A. Digitalizing rare characters saves people trouble.
B. Rare characters carry with them special meanings.
C. Chinese people favour names with rare characters.
D. It is unwise to have names with common characters.
11. What is the value of the character digitalization?
A. It proves that Chinese characters are unique from other languages.
B. It shows off teamwork of professionals in a wide variety of fields.
C. It is a breakthrough that pushes forward the growth of technology.
D. It smoothes the way to a convenient life and cultural development.
D
America has long been crazy about weight loss. New diets continue to come up; diet and exercise apps are on the rise. It’s no wonder more people are on diets now than were a decade ago and 4 out of 10 Americans consider themselves to be overweight.
While healthy eating and exercise are important to the length and quality of life, too many people think of weight loss pills as a shorter path to removing extra pounds instead of as a sometimes-useful tool for the individuals they’ve been approved for. There are actually many dangers connected with weight loss pills and it is not recommended that they be taken without seeking advice from the doctor.
For the right person, weight loss pills can be a helpful tool in weight management, but they are usually only suggested for people with extreme fatness and after other weight loss treatments such as diet and exercise have been put into one’s lifestyle first.
While there is no shortage in the number of weight loss pills on the market, only six drugs are currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for long-term use. All but one of these drugs work to either control hunger or to help one feel full after meals. Such FDA-approved drugs are intended to be used by people struggling with significant extra weight and not by anyone looking to drop a few pounds by chance.
For everyone else, a healthy diet and exercise is usually all that is recommended. It is accepted that we do need to pay much more attention to preventing weight problems early in life through healthy diets and regular physical activities, rather than waiting to respond to developed fatness and illnesses. That’s especially true when considering some risks of weight-loss drugs. They are recommended when the benefit of taking them to reduce weight is greater than the risk of side effects or other consequences of these medicines.
These medicines are best used with a complete diet and lifestyle program that can improve results, and when there is a doctor reviewing developing side effects to make adjustments to reduce risk.
12. What is people’s wrong idea about weight loss pills?
A. They work faster than diet and exercise.
B. They probably do harm to people’s heath.
C. They are taken under doctor’s guidance.
D. They are unable to satisfy everyone’s needs.
13. What is true about weight loss pills on the market?
A. Most pills meet the needs of overweight people.
B. The market is flooded with FDA-approved pills.
C. None of these drugs work by controlling hunger.
D. People should keep a sharp eye on their choices.
14. How should people take care of weight problems?
A. Measures should be taken before the problems get worse.
B. Pills will do the trick if they win the favor of most people.
C. A healthy diet and exercise can solve any weight problem.
D. Medicines are recommended when they keep people slim.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Eager to lose weight? B. FDA drugs for sale.
C. Weight-loss pills for all? D. Efforts to fight fatness

Mike White wasn’t too concerned when his five-year-old dog, BuzzMan, hadn’t returned last February. Si, it had been a few hours, so using his cell phone, White followed the sound from the GPS on the dog to a narrow cave entrance just large enough for a dog like BuzzMan. There were fresh dog prints outside. Now White was much more concerned.
Brewington and Mirza were called in for help. They arrived at once and set about enlarging the entranceway by hand. The passageway was just three feet high, forcing the two men to slowly crawl(爬行), the only light coming from headlamps attached to their helmets(头盔). They stopped when they hit a tight space and returned to the outside world.
When BuzzMan hadn’t appeared by Sunday afternoon, smaller volunteers were called in. At 5:00 p.m., four new cavers, two men and two women, moved through the entrance. What added to their difficulty was the dangerous cave floods. “If it rains,” Mirza says, “the cave will kill people.” That night’s weather forecast: rain.
After an hour or so, they reached a difficult situation and could go no farther. Still, one of them, Romanak, decided to push a bit farther before quitting. He crawled 30 feet more, and the passage gave way to a large room. And there was BuzzMan, standing on a narrow rock. Romanak gently attached a chain to his collar, helping him off the rock and out.
At 9:30 p.m.—30 hours later, BuzzMan got out of the cave, running straight to Mike White and licking him by wet kisses.
In total, eight cavers answered the request to rescue Buzz Man on a volunteer basis and were thought highly of by the community. Mirza laughed off the praise. After all, going into tight spaces was their hobby. “What we consider fun,” he said, “often makes most people frightened.”
4. Why did Mike White feel much more concerned?
A. He had difficult yin following the dog’s GPS.
B. His dog might be stuck in a dangerous situation.
C. The cave entrance was large enough for his dog.
D. The rescuers failed to arrive at the scene in time.
5. What increased the difficulty for the cavers?
A. The dark light of the headlamp.
B. The shortage of the manpower.
C. The coming floods of the cave.
D. The length of the passageway.
6. What can we know from the article?
A. The size of the passageway was suitable for the cavers.
B. White and Buzz Man were very attached to each other.
C. It was Mirza who helped Buzz Man off the rock and out.
D. Eight cavers participating in the rescue were well paid.
7. What message does Mirza express in the last paragraph?
A. Many hands make light work.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D. One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Si, it had been a few hours, so using his cell phone, White followed the sound from the GPS on the dog to a narrow cave entrance just large enough for a dog like BuzzMan. There were fresh dog prints outside. Now White was much more concerned.(是的,已经过去几个小时了,所以怀特用他的手机,跟着狗身上的GPS发出的声音,找到了一个狭窄的洞穴入口,这个入口对BuzzMan这样的狗来说刚刚够大。外面有新的狗的脚印。现在怀特更担心了)”可推知,BuzzMan进入了一个狭窄的洞穴,陷入危险的境地,导致怀特更担心了。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What added to their difficulty was the dangerous cave floods. “If it rains,” Mirza says, “the cave will kill people.” That night’s weather forecast: rain.(使他们更加困难的是危险的洞穴洪水。“如果下雨,”米尔扎说,“洞穴会杀死人。”那天晚上的天气预报说:有雨)”可知,山洞里即将到来的洪水增加了洞穴探险者的难度。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“At 9:30 p.m.—30 hours later, BuzzMan got out of the cave, running straight to Mike White and licking him by wet kisses.(晚上9点半,也就是30个小时后,BuzzMan从山洞里出来,径直跑向Mike White,用湿吻舔他)”可推知,White和Buzz Man彼此非常依恋。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In total, eight cavers answered the request to rescue Buzz Man on a volunteer basis and were thought highly of by the community. Mirza laughed off the praise. After all, going into tight spaces was their hobby. “What we consider fun,” he said, “often makes most people frightened.”(总共有8名洞穴探险者在志愿者的基础上回应了营救巴斯人的请求,并得到了社区的高度评价。米尔扎对这种赞扬一笑置之。毕竟,进入狭小空间是他们的爱好。“我们认为有趣的东西,”他说,“往往会让大多数人感到害怕。”)”可知,米尔扎在最后一段表达其他人害怕的东西对他们来说确有趣,也就是“One man’s meat is another man’s poison.(一个人的美食可能是另一个人的毒药)”。故选D项。

Chinese government and tech companies are working together to speed up the digitalization(数字化) of rarely used Chinese characters, which will allow them to be recognized by computers as the country's banks, hospitals and government departments move deals online. However, for lack of technical support, many people's names and place names can not be put in. This has caused troubles in life, such as opening bank accounts and booking transportation tickets.
The public are now invited to photograph unusual characters and send them through a mini program fixed into We Chat, a popular messaging app. If they pass expert approval, they will be added to China's official set of coded (编码的) characters, known as GB 18030. The latest version of GB18030 has more than 80, 000 Chinese characters. However, most computers only support the input and display of about 30, 000 commonly used characters.
Roughly 60 million people in China have names that contain rare characters and a significant number of place names and ancient texts have difficulty being digitalized due to unrecognized characters contained within.
Lin Sumiao, a lawyer based in Beijing, said her name, containing a rare character “su”, was constantly shown as “miao” on exam admission cards when she was in school, and the situation still happens when she prints flight boarding passes.
Lin is unwilling to change her given name as it carries special significance to her. The character “su” consists of characters “geng” and “sheng”, the latter part of the phrase “zi li geng sheng” meaning“to rely on oneself.“The character contains my parents' wish for me to grow up into an independent soul,” she said.
Digitalizing the Chinese characters is difficult, as each character must be represented in a unique form. The digitalization of uncommon characters is a complex systematic project, which requires government guidance and contributions by input methods, program developers, and operating systems.
Despite the difficulties involved, digitalization must continue to not only solve practical problems, but also to protect and pass down Chinese culture. Every rare character is a part of cultural treasures. They shall not be lost in the digital time nor become a block to digital society.
8. Why does the government quicken the digitalization of rare Chinese characters?
A. To get the public familiar with more rare names.
B. To provide technical support for people's daily work.
C. To make it possible to put in uncommon characters.
D. To encourage online businesses across the country.
9. What can we say about GB 18030?
A. It is part of a We Chat program.
B. It is a system of coded characters.
C. It consists of rare Chinese characters.
D. It is fully supported by most computers.
10. What can be inferred from Lin Sumiao’s case?
A. Digitalizing rare characters saves people trouble.
B. Rare characters carry with them special meanings.
C. Chinese people favour names with rare characters.
D. It is unwise to have names with common characters.
11. What is the value of the character digitalization?
A. It proves that Chinese characters are unique from other languages.
B. It shows off teamwork of professionals in a wide variety of fields.
C. It is a breakthrough that pushes forward the growth of technology.
D. It smoothes the way to a convenient life and cultural development.

America has long been crazy about weight loss. New diets continue to come up; diet and exercise apps are on the rise. It’s no wonder more people are on diets now than were a decade ago and 4 out of 10 Americans consider themselves to be overweight.
While healthy eating and exercise are important to the length and quality of life, too many people think of weight loss pills as a shorter path to removing extra pounds instead of as a sometimes-useful tool for the individuals they’ve been approved for. There are actually many dangers connected with weight loss pills and it is not recommended that they be taken without seeking advice from the doctor.
For the right person, weight loss pills can be a helpful tool in weight management, but they are usually only suggested for people with extreme fatness and after other weight loss treatments such as diet and exercise have been put into one’s lifestyle first.
While there is no shortage in the number of weight loss pills on the market, only six drugs are currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for long-term use. All but one of these drugs work to either control hunger or to help one feel full after meals. Such FDA-approved drugs are intended to be used by people struggling with significant extra weight and not by anyone looking to drop a few pounds by chance.
For everyone else, a healthy diet and exercise is usually all that is recommended. It is accepted that we do need to pay much more attention to preventing weight problems early in life through healthy diets and regular physical activities, rather than waiting to respond to developed fatness and illnesses. That’s especially true when considering some risks of weight-loss drugs. They are recommended when the benefit of taking them to reduce weight is greater than the risk of side effects or other consequences of these medicines.
These medicines are best used with a complete diet and lifestyle program that can improve results, and when there is a doctor reviewing developing side effects to make adjustments to reduce risk.
12. What is people’s wrong idea about weight loss pills?
A. They work faster than diet and exercise.
B. They probably do harm to people’s heath.
C. They are taken under doctor’s guidance.
D. They are unable to satisfy everyone’s needs.
13. What is true about weight loss pills on the market?
A. Most pills meet the needs of overweight people.
B. The market is flooded with FDA-approved pills.
C. None of these drugs work by controlling hunger.
D. People should keep a sharp eye on their choices.
14. How should people take care of weight problems?
A. Measures should be taken before the problems get worse.
B. Pills will do the trick if they win the favor of most people.
C. A healthy diet and exercise can solve any weight problem.
D. Medicines are recommended when they keep people slim.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Eager to lose weight? B. FDA drugs for sale.
C. Weight-loss pills for all? D. Efforts to fight fatness
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】

When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea. ____18____
The statue, as it stands today in the Louvre, has been partly repaired. The right wing is a modern copy, but the missing feet, arms, and head have not been recovered, giving viewers much to imagine. For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. ____19____ She must have simply raised her right arm in greeting. Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face.
____20____ As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before.
A. This means that she cannot have held any object.
B. The Nike is in charge of victory in ancient Greek stories.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了卢浮宫里的Winged Victory雕像的历史,艺术形态和历史价值。
【16题详解】
下文“Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866. (后来被带到巴黎,自1866年以来一直在卢浮宫展出。)”说明的是雕像的历史变迁,因此C项“它于1863年在爱琴海的一个希腊岛屿上被发现”符合语境,故选C。
【17题详解】
上文“Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky (Winged Victory刚刚从空中飞下来)”说明的是雕像的状态,空格处承接上文“飞下来”,然后“降落在船顶”,因此F项“她登上舰顶,庆祝一场古老战役的胜利”符合语境,故选F。
【18题详解】
上文“The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea. (风把她的裙子吹到身上,卷起厚厚的褶皱,流到身后。当观众看着她时,他们几乎能感觉到来自大海的风)”说明雕像的形态栩栩如生,因此E项“他们很难相信这么逼真的雕像是石头做的”符合语境,故选E。
【19题详解】
上文“For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. (例如,耐克是否将物体握在她的手中?事实上,人们在1950年发现了她的右手,她的手指是张开的)”说明空格处回答了上文提出的问题:是否将物体握在她的手中?因此A项“这意味着她不能拿任何东西”符合语境,故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face. (她的头可能直视前方,观众只能猜测她的面部特征)”说明Winged Victory的头部是不存在的,是不完整的,以及下文“As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before (作为现存为数不多的希腊原始雕塑之一,它将继续吸引观众,就像它以前毫无疑问地那样)”说明Winged Victory的重要意义和价值,可知,空格处起着承上启下的作用,因此G项“尽管Winged Victory未完全幸存,但它确实是一部杰作”符合语境,故选G。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了夏至的相关信息。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:夏至是中国古代建立的节日,一般在6月21日或22日。Summer Solstice(夏至)与 establish 在 逻 辑 上 是 被 动 关 系,所 以 用 过 去分词作定语。故填established。
【37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:至当天,北半球全年白天持续时间最长。根据空格处的the可知,此处表示最长的,用形容词最高级。故填longest。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:在这一天之后,白天的时间越来越短,北半球的温度也越来越高。根据become可知,空处填名词复数。故填temperatures。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:在中国古代,夏至不仅是一个节气,也是一个重要的节日。not only…but also为固定短语。故填but。
【40题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:早在汉朝,人们就庆祝夏至。主语Summer Solstice与谓语celebrate为被动关系,再结合时间状语“As early as the Han Dynasty ”可知,本句为一般过去时的被动语态。故填was celebrated。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:俗话说,冬至是吃饺子和夏至面条的时候。本句在描述事实,所以为一般现在时,主语为单数,谓语为单数。 故填goes。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:夏至前后,小麦收获,新面粉上市。come into the market“上市”为固定短语。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:人们在夏至吃面条,意思是“品尝新鲜”和“庆祝丰收”。which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面的整个句子,作主语。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国古代有在夏至祭拜大地的习俗。表示“.….的”用介词of作后置定语。故填of。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:在夏至,明清两代皇帝会带领大臣们祭拜地球,为国家和人民祈求好天气和和平。分析句子可知,空处为非谓语动词,与逻辑主语emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties为主动关系。所以填现在分词作状语。 故填praying。
第三节 单句语法填空 (共10小题;每题1分,满分10分)
46. ________ (addict) to social media can affect teenagers’ mental health because they may compare themselves with others and feel anxious. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Being addicted
【解析】

47. With measures_________(take) to promote tourism in China, the 2023 May Day holiday saw a record number of tourists. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】taken
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意:随着中国采取各项措施促进旅游业发展,2023 年五一假期迎来了创纪录的游客数量。本句为with的复合结构,measures与take为被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填taken。
48. The lantern Festival is the first full moon night in Chinese lunar year,___________(indicate) harmony, reunion, and the coming back of the spring. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】indicating

【答案】to feature
【解析】

50. __________(compare) with women, men always prefer to stay connected with friends by sharing activities rather than talking. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Compared
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意:与女性相比,男性总是更喜欢通过分享活动而不是交谈来与朋友保持联系。compared with“与……相比”为固定短语,为过去分词作状语,置于句首,首字母大写。故填Compared。
51. Some popular stars wear masks in public to escape _________ (recognize) by fans,which allows them to enjoy their private lives more freely. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】being recognized
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:一些受欢迎的明星在公共场合戴口罩以避免被粉丝认出,这使他们能够更自由地享受他们的私人生活。escape doing sth.表示“逃避/避免做某事”,且此处表示“避免被粉丝认出”,应用动名词的被动式being done作宾语。故填being recognized。
52. ____________(judge) from the data of the State Information Center, Chinese economy is recovering from covid-19 gradually. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Judging
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词。句意:根据国家信息中心的数据来判断,中国经济正在逐步从疫情中复苏。juding from“根据……来判断”现在分词作状语,置于句首,首字母大写。故填Judging。

54. Sorry I’m late. I didn’t realize there ________ (be) so much traffic at this time of the day. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:对不起,我迟到了。我没意识到一天中的这个时候交通会这么拥挤。根据句意可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,即说话者迟到的时候并没有预料到当时的交通状况。在宾语从句“there _____ so much traffic at this time of the day”中,由于主句“I didn’t realize”使用的是一般过去时,从句也通常要用相应的过去时态来保持时态的一致性。结合“at this time of the day”可知描述过去发生的事情,使用一般过去时,结合从句为there be句型和主语“so much traffic”可知,be动词用was。故填was。
55. —She hasn’t done it yet.
—She ought __________. (用恰当的省略形式填空)
【答案】to have
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。句意:—她还没有做完。—她本应完成了。根据句意及ought可知,表达“本应当做某事(但实际上未做)”可使用should/ought to + have done结构。故填to have。

【答案】
My favourite scientist is Marie Curie, who was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize.
Together with Pierre, she made several important scientific discoveries: she discovered radium and polonium, and she developed the theory of radioactivity. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903. After her husband’s death in 1906, she continued their work and discovered that radium could be used to treat illnesses. I think that is her greatest contribution to science. In 1911, Marie received her second Nobel Prize-this time in Chemistry. To this day, no one else has received two Nobel Prizes in different sciences. Marie Curie also did a lot for other people. She helped injured soldiers during the First World War. She also founded the Curie Institutes in Paris and in Warsaw, which are still major centres of medical research today.
The reason why I admire Marie Curie is that she showed the world that women can make important contributions to science. I hope that one day I can become a scientist like her.
