Gerty Cori, the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, was born Gerty Theresa Radnitz in Prague in 1896. Gerty decided at the age of sixteen to study medicine. She entered the Realgymnasium at Tetschen, from which she graduated in 1914, and then went to the Medical School of the German University of Prague. While in medical school, Gerty encountered Carl Cori, a classmate who shared both her love of skiing and mountain climbing and her interest in laboratory research. In 1920, the two published the results of their first joint research, received their medical degrees, and married each other.
Gerty's first research position was as an assistant in the Carolinen Children's Hospital in Vienna. In 1922, Carl Cori moved to the United States to join the staff of the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases in Buffalo, New York. Gerty Cori moved a few months later, starting as an assistant pathologist(病理学家) at the institute and later rising to an assistant biochemist. In 1928, the Coris became US citizens.
In 1931, Carl Cori took up a position as chairman of the Department of Pharmacology of the Washington University School of Medicine(WUSM), while Gerty Cori was hired as a research fellow. In the early 1940s the Coris moved to the Department of Biological Chemistry. Gerty Cori was made an associate(副) professor in 1943. She was elevated to the rank of professor of Biological Chemistry in July 1947; in the same year she and her husband were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on the metabolism of glycogen(糖代谢).
In 1947, Gerty Cori began showing the signs of myelofibrosis, an unusual blood disease. She fought the disease for ten years, refusing to give up her research until the last few months of her life. Gerty Cori died on October 26, 1957.

答案：
1. A　细节理解题。根据第一段第四句中“shared both her love of skiing and mountain climbing and her interest in laboratory research”可知，格蒂的丈夫卡尔和她有着相同的兴趣爱好。故选A。
易错归因
本题易误选C项，原因是忽略了一些细节信息。第一段最后的“received their medical degrees, and married each other”说明了他们是在拿到医学学位后才结婚的，根据常识可知，拿到医学学位就证明毕业了，所以C项“他在医学院期间与格蒂结婚”的说法不对。
2. B　细节理解题。文章以时间顺序讲述了女科学家格蒂·科里的人生经历：
故选B。
3. C　词义猜测题。画线词前一句的意思为“格蒂·科里于1943年被任命为副教授”，画线词所在的句子意思为“1947年7月，她被晋升到了生物化学教授的级别”。由此可知，从副教授到教授，格蒂·科里应该是晋升了，由此可以推断画线词为“晋升，提拔”的意思。故选C。
4. D　推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“She fought the disease for ten years, refusing to give up her research until the last few months of her life.”可知，即使与病魔作斗争，格蒂也没有放弃自己的研究，直到生命的最后几个月。由此可以推断，她的精神力量很强大。故选D。
