Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using Xray facilities(設(shè)備) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing Xray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military' Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(輻射能). Irene JoliotCurie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

【2】A

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】本文是一篇人物介紹。介紹居里夫人大女兒Irene Curie的一生。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段可知，第一次世界大戰(zhàn)開始后，Irene幫助母親救助傷員，法國政府以軍功章的形式表示對她的貢獻的認可。所以選擇B項。

【2】推理判斷題。文章第四段說：在1918年，Irene在居里夫人研究院成為母親的助手，1924年12月Frederic Joliot加入了該研究院，Irene教給他該項工作要求的技術(shù)，不久他們相愛了并于1926年結(jié)婚，由此可推斷出C項正確。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。第四段最后一句表明：他們第一個孩子于1927年出生，5年后(1932年)第二個孩子出生，所以A項正確。

【4】推理判斷題。縱觀全文可知，Irene在“與放射性物質(zhì)打交道/把家庭與事業(yè)相結(jié)合/死于leukemia”這三方面與母親相同，不同的是Irene獲得一次諾貝爾獎，母親兩次。
