分析 本文是一篇人物介绍．介绍居里夫人大女儿 Irene Curie 的一生和她的成就．
解答 21-24 DCBD21．D 细节理解题．根据文章第三段可知，第一次世界大战开始后，Irene 帮助母亲救助伤员，法国政府以军功章的形式表示对她的贡献的认可（Her services were recognised in the form of a Military's Medal by the French government）．所以选择D
22．C 推理判断题．文章第四段说：在 1918 年，Irene 在居里夫人研究院成为母亲的助手，1924 年 12 月 Frederi c Joliot 加入了该研究院，Irene 教给他该项工作要求的技术，不久他们相爱了并于 1926年结婚，由此可推断出选C．
23．B 细节理解题．第四段最后一句表明：他们第一个孩子于 1927 年出生，5 年后（1932 年）第二 个孩子出生，所以B项正确．
24．D 推理判断题．纵观全文可知，Irene在"与放射性物质打交道/把家庭与事业相结合/死于leukemia"这三方面与母亲相同，不同的是Irene获得一次诺贝尔奖，而母亲两次获得诺贝尔奖．所以本题选D．
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
