【分析】
本题考查英语词汇运用,需结合固定结构、名词形式、时态等知识点解题:
1. 看到“the first person”,回忆固定结构“序数词+名词+to do sth”(不定式作后置定语),确定用不定式;
2. 此处指代“女性”这一群体,需用woman的复数形式;
3. 看到“was too busy”,对应固定搭配“be busy doing sth”(忙于做某事);
4. 搅拌矿石的目的是找到新元素,不定式可作目的状语,故用to do形式;
5. 全文讲述居里夫人过去的经历,时态为一般过去时,动词需用过去式;
6. 看到“stopped”,对应固定搭配“stop doing sth”(停止正在做的事),此处指从不停止学习,故用动名词形式。
