五、阅读理解。
Marie Curie,born in Poland in 1867,is a pioneer in the field of radioactivity and the only
person to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences.Her journey began with a deep curiosity a-
bout the natural world,particularly the newly discovered element uranium.While studying at
the University of Paris,she noticed that uranium salts emitted rays stronger than those of urani-
um itself,a phenomenon she termed "radioactivity."
Curie's research was groundbreaking but faced numerous obstacles.In the early 20th centu-
ry,women in science were often dismissed,and she worked in a poorly equipped lab with little
funding.Despite this,she persisted,isolating two new elements:radium and polonium.Her
discovery of radium's radioactive properties opened doors to cancer treatment,though the dan-
gers of radiation were not yet understood.Curie herself suffered from radiation sickness due to
prolonged exposure,yet she continued her work.
During World War I,Curie developed mobile X-ray units to help surgeons locate bullets in
wounded soldiers,saving thousands of lives.Her dedication to science and humanity made her a
global icon,though she remained humble,once refusing to patent her discoveries so they could
benefit all of mankind.
Curie's story is not just about scientific achievement;it's a testament to curiosity and resili-
ence.She once said,"Nothing in life is to be feared,it is only to be understood.Her work re-
minds us that curiosity,coupled with courage,can overcome even the greatest challenges

C.Uranium salts.
D.Polonium.
()2.What obstacle did Curie face in her research?

B.Gender discrimination and poor facilities.

B.By developing X-ray units for field hospitals.
C.By training nurses.
D.By patenting her discoveries.
