【解析】

本文主要介紹了3位杰出的女性：英國(guó)的撒切爾夫人，美國(guó)的哈樂(lè)黛和中國(guó)的屠呦呦。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第1個(gè)小短文“Known as: Britain's first female prime minister”，第2個(gè)小短文“Known as: world-famous jazz singer”和第3個(gè)小短文“Known as: Nobel Prize-winning chemist”撒切爾夫人作為英國(guó)第一女首相出名，哈樂(lè)黛作為世界著名爵士歌手出名，屠呦呦作為世界諾貝爾化學(xué)獎(jiǎng)�？芍�，她們都在各自的領(lǐng)域有成就。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第1個(gè)小短文第2大段“She took a tough (強(qiáng)硬的) position against the Soviet Union (蘇聯(lián)) and led a war against Argentina.”她采取強(qiáng)硬的政策對(duì)抗蘇聯(lián)，可知，不是殘酷的政策，故A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第1個(gè)小短文第3大段“If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.”想要做些事情，問(wèn)一個(gè)女性，可知，撒切爾認(rèn)為做比說(shuō)更有效，故B正確；根據(jù)第1個(gè)小短文第1大段“from 1979 to 1990”撒切爾夫人最后是1990年在位，1925年出生，1990年是65歲，故C錯(cuò)誤。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第2個(gè)小短文第2大段“She recorded a song called Strange Fruit that was about the great pain of African-Americans.”她錄制了一首歌曲，里面講述了非裔美國(guó)人的巨大痛苦�？芍�，故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第3個(gè)小短文第1大段“Getting inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine, Tu found artemisinin (青蒿素) in a plant in197l that could treat malaria.”從傳統(tǒng)的中藥中得到靈感，屠呦呦在1971年發(fā)現(xiàn)了可以治療瘧疾的青蒿素植物。可知，文章中沒(méi)有涉及花了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，故A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第3個(gè)小短文第1大段“In 2015, Tu received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.”2015年獲得了諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)，可知，并不是發(fā)現(xiàn)青蒿素了就獲獎(jiǎng)了，故B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第3個(gè)小短文第1大段“Getting inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine, Tu found artemisinin (青蒿素) in a plant in197l that could treat malaria.”從傳統(tǒng)的中藥中得到靈感，屠呦呦在1971年發(fā)現(xiàn)了可以治療瘧疾的青蒿素植物�？芍�，屠呦呦是受了中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)中藥的影響，中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)藥起了中藥作用。故C正確。故選C。

【5】最佳標(biāo)題題。根據(jù)第1個(gè)小短文“Known as: Britain's first female prime minister”，第2個(gè)小短文“Known as: world-famous jazz singer”和第3個(gè)小短文“Known as: Nobel Prize-winning chemist”撒切爾夫人作為英國(guó)第一女首相出名，哈樂(lè)黛作為世界著名爵士歌手出名，屠呦呦作為世界諾貝爾化學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。可知，本文主要講述了3個(gè)對(duì)世界產(chǎn)生影響的女性。故選A。

閱讀理解題中判斷句子的正誤屬于推理判斷題，是英語(yǔ)試題中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的題型，也是難題之一。4個(gè)選項(xiàng)要根據(jù)題干意思一一從原文中查找，有些是關(guān)鍵單詞出錯(cuò)，有些是句子意思表達(dá)有誤。此類判斷題考查學(xué)生對(duì)文章句子的深層次理解能力。如第4題，A是文章中沒(méi)有涉及具體時(shí)間，所以推斷不出；B是時(shí)間出錯(cuò)。所以句子正誤題可以優(yōu)先注意題干中的關(guān)鍵信息，如數(shù)字，地點(diǎn)，程度詞等。
