2014年职称英语考试真题及解析(理工类A)(6)

正确答案:B

解析:该题说的是：当大洋和大陆板块相撞时，没有人确切地知道哪一个会漂在另外一个的上面。根据第五段的第三句When an ocean plate bumps into a land plate, the less dense land plate floats over the ocean one. 可知当两个板块相撞的时候密度小的大陆板块会漂在大洋板块之上，所以题干的表述是错误的

Madame Curie

1 On the eve of the International Women’s day on March 8th，1994，French President Mitterrand made the announcement that Madame Curie was soon to be admitted into the Pantheon—the memorial hall of the French national heroes．The decision, though coming 60 years late，is a great inspiration and gratification to the people．

4 Unfortunately, in 1906 Mr. Curie was killed in a traffic accident．“It is impossible for me to express the profoundness of the crisis brought into my life by the loss of the one who had been my closest companion，” Madam Curie said sadly．Crushed by the blow，she did not feel able to face the future．She could not forget, however：what her husband used sometimes to say，“Even deprived of me，you ought to continue our work． She was left alone to bring up children and，at the same time，persisted in her giant research project on radium．

6 Since man’s civilization began，there have been very few women like Madame Curie who so perfectly combined the role of a scientist，a wife and mother．She joined with all readiness organization protecting the patents and copyrights of her fellow scientists．She says that scientists need protection while in laboratories the way a child needs it，so that they may be free from the
