答案:【解析】:本题主要考查了对阅读材料的理解以及细节把握的能力。
1. 第一题问的是Maria Sibylla Merian对什么感兴趣。通过阅读关于Maria Sibylla Merian的段落,我们可以找到关键信息“She began collecting, studying and drawing them when she was young.”,这里的“them”指的是前文提到的“caterpillars and butterflies”,即毛虫和蝴蝶,这些都是昆虫。因此,可以判断Maria Sibylla Merian对研究昆虫感兴趣。
2. 第二题问的是Alice Coachman Davis在哪一年赢得了奥运会金牌。通过阅读关于Alice Coachman Davis的段落,我们可以直接找到关键信息“Finally, Coachman competed in the 1948 Olympic Games in London, where she not only won a gold medal but set a record in the high jump.”,这说明Alice Coachman Davis在1948年赢得了奥运会金牌。
3. 第三题要求我们判断四个选项中哪个是正确的。通过逐一阅读选项,并将其与原文进行对比,我们可以发现:
A选项说Alice是第一个参加奥运会的女性,但原文中并没有提到这一点。
B选项说Nellie因为环游世界而出名,但原文中提到Nellie出名是因为她写了一篇论说文帮助女性获得工作机会,并且她环游世界只是她人生经历的一部分,并非她出名的原因。
C选项说记者Nellie写了一篇论说文帮助女性,这与原文中的描述相符。
D选项说Maria发现了所有昆虫生命周期的秘密,但原文中只提到她发现了毛虫生命周期的真相,并未提及所有昆虫。
