本文講述了德國(guó)第一任女總理默克爾的生平事跡。

1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章中Merkelquicklylearnedtospeakbut

tooklongertowalk說明Merkel走路學(xué)得很慢。

2.D詞義猜測(cè)題。聯(lián)系畫線部分后面的Inherfirstbigpolitical

jobasMinisterfortheEnvironmentin1994我們知道，1989年她涉足政

界，所以D項(xiàng)最符合。

3.A推理判斷題。由文章中我們可以知道默克爾是一個(gè)有理

seriouseyeproblemforcedhertogiveuptheidea.可判斷選B。

1857年建立第一家婦女兒童醫(yī)院，時(shí)隔8年，故選D。

9.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由全文可知，ElizabethBlackwell生于英國(guó)，
