2014-2015学年高中英语同步练习和评测题【6】及答案：Unit1（人教新课标必修4）Women of achievement 同步练习(六)阅读理解AMarie was born in Poland in 1867. She was given the name Marie Sklodowska by her parents. Her father was a teacher. Everyone soon saw that Marie had a quick mind.Marie s mother died when her youngest daughter was only ten. This made Marie know that she must work hard at her lessons if she wanted to be successful in her life. So she did and won top honors at her school.Marie and her elder sister, Bronya, dreamed of studying in France. But their father did not have enough money to send them there. Then Marie made out a plan: she would teach at home and send her money to Bronya. After her sister finished studying in Paris, she could get work and send Marie the money to study there in return.With tears in their eyes the girls said goodbye to each other, and Marie worked very hard for six years to pay for her sister s studies. At last it was Marie s turn, but by the time she got to France, her sister was married and could not give her much help.Again Marie worked. She studied in a small room without heat or light. She lived on bread and tea most of the time, but what she cared of most was her science, her study and her research work. This was her world and she liked her experiment most.In Paris she met and married Pierre Curie, a young famous scientist. Together they made their experiments in an old house shabbily equipped (设施简陋的). They knew that some element in the world gave off a strange power. The power could go through other objects. They found more of this power in some elements than in any other elements. It made them believe that it must be a new element itself.For four years they tried experiments to separate this new powerful element. Finally they found something that they called radium. Its power of radiation was much greater than that of other elements.The Curies were awarded the Nobel Prize for their great contribution to science. They used the money for further experiments on the uses of radium. They found it could be used in treating diseases.Unfortunately Pierre died suddenly just after he began to work as professor at the Sorbonne ( 巴黎大学). Marie Curie took his place. She thus became the first woman ever to teach there. She continued their research work and made many more important discoveries. In 1911 she received another Nobel Prize. It is the only time in history that two Nobel Prize have been given to the same person, and this person was a woman.Marie Curie, an extraordinary woman scientist with extraordinary successes discovered a hidden power from which the world benefits much. It was this same power, however, that killed her in 1934.1. Marie and her sister wished to_________.A. study in FranceB. work at homeC. visit ParisD. travel around the world2.

She was born in 1861 and her real name was Helen Porter Mitchell. She grew up in a musical family. When she was 20, Helen Mitchell married the manager of a Queensland sugar farm. But she was not happy and the next year she went back to Melbourne to continue her music and singing lessons. She wanted to make a name for herself as an opera singer.She stayed in Melbourne for four years then left for London. But no one seemed interested in this young unknown singer from Australia. She went to Paris to have lessons from a well-known teacher. In December the same year she gave a concert in which she used the name "Nellie Melba in honour of Melbourne, her home city.Nellie Melba was soon a star. She sang in London, Europe, Russia and America. She was paid well every time she sang. In 1902 she turned to Melbourne. The city was decorated (装饰) and thousands of people waited in the streets to wave and cheer as she drove by. From then on she divided her time between London and Australia.

Everything was all right when she was bom. But when she was nineteen months old, an attack of fever left her blind and deaf for the rest of her life. She became blind so young that as she grew older, she did not remember being able to see; and she became deaf before she had any idea of the importance of human speech. She lived in darkness and silence.As she grew older, she, too, wanted to express her ideas and feelings. But she realized that she was cut off from others.Her parents were greatly worried. How could anyone get in touch with Helen's mind and intelligence (智力) in darkness and silence without speech? Helen was nearly seven before a teacher was found. Her name was Miss Sullivan.Miss Sullivan had a lot of difficulties in teaching Helen Keller. As the child could neither see nor hear, she had to use manual alphabet. But Hellen's energy and intelligence and strong spirit, combined (联合；组合) with Miss Sullivan's skill and patience, overcame all the difficulties. As Helen grew up, she became an able student, passed examinations and finally took a university degree in English literature (文学). She then devoted all herself to helping the blind and the deaf. Her personal success, together with the work she had done for others, made her one of the great-est women in modem times. She wrote many books and "The Story of My life is a remarkable one.11. Which of the following statements is true?A. Helen Keller was born blind and deaf.B. She first became blind and then deaf.C. She became blind and deaf in 1880.D.

Helen Keller's parents were greatly worried because _________.A. she was growing olderB. she was cut off from othersC. she, too, wanted to express her ideas and feelings but she could notD. she was almost seven years old and yet they were not sure whether they could find a suitable teacher for her14. Helen was finally successful mainly because ofA. her parents' helpB. the manual alphabet Miss Sullivan taught herC. the help she got when she took a degreeD. her hard work, cleverness as well as Sullivan's great continuous efforts15. Helen Keller finally became_________.A. an able studentB. a writerC. the greatest woman in modem timesD. a student who took a university degree in English literatureDThe more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone's experience in the organization.Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Coleman is black. He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT&T, Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Merch. Coleman says that based on what he's seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long-term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%;image, 30%;and exposure, a full 60%. Coleman concluded that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won't secure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement mote often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales have dropped from their eyes. "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs, "says Kaleel Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. "They think that if you work hard, you' 11 get ahead—that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion. "She adds, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they' ve gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility. " Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight.16. According to the passage, "things formerly judged to be best left unsaid" probably refers toA. criticisms that shape everyone's experienceB. the opinions which contradict the established beliefsC. the tendencies that help the newcomers to see office matters with a fresh eyeD. the ideas which usually come up with new ways of management in the organization17. To achieve success in your career, the most important factor, according to the passage, is toA. let your superiors know how good you areB. project a favorable image to the people around youC. work as a consultant to your superiorsD. perform well your tasks given by your superiors18. The reason why women and blacks play down their visibility is that they_________.A. know that someone in authority will reach down and give them a promotionB. want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefsC. don't want people to think that their promotions were due to sex or colorD. believe they can get promoted by reason of their sex or color19. The author is of the opinion that Coleman's beliefs are_________.A. biasedB. popularC. insightfulD. superficial20. The best title for this passage would be_________.A. Role of Women and Minorities in ManagementB. The Importance of Being VisibleC. Job Performance and AdvancementD. Sex and Career Success。
