【语篇解读】 Dame Athene Donald是英国剑桥大学的教授也是杰出的物理学家她被授予“终身成就奖”为万千女性树立了好榜样。 [细节理解题。第三段第二句话的．..not only been recognized by her field of research说明她不仅得到了自己所研究的领域的认可第三句话的the winner of L'Oreal/UNESCO's“For Women in Science Laureate (Europe)”说明她的广泛认可度。强干扰项是C项第一段的you're just as good and have as much to offer as the men只是说明她的自信和对其他女性的鼓励但是并非藐视男性所以C项表述错误。] [细节理解题。第四..has simplified her housework说明她在生活中尽量将家务简单化方法就是by buying the most practical electric appliances而easyiron clothes说明她对衣着不是很挑剔比较随意和D项表述一致。] [细节理解题。第四段说到了Dame的家庭生活第二句话的simplified her housework说明她在工作压力较大的情况下怎么安排家务她成功做到了这一C项表述正确。A项和第二段第二句的a pioneer of soft matter and biological physics相悖；B项和第二段第一句的a wellknown British physicist相悖；D项在文中没有判断依据。] [推理判断题。第一段的Don't be put off和you're just as good说明她挑战科学的决心；第二段的active to inspire and support说明她的积极的生活态度和对人产the Lifetime Achievement Award正说明了她对科学的奉献精神。] [推理判断题。第五段Peter的讲话说明Peter认为从事科学研究的女士很少而他话里的．..failing to attract possible talents也表明了对这一点的遗憾。但是并不是说他认为女士在这个领域不能获得成功所以不能选择C项。]
