Maria Mitchell(1818-1889),the first woman astronomer(天文学家)in the United was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Her parents valued education and insisted on giving same quality of education that boys received. Her father, William Mitchell, was an astronomer and teacher himself. When he built his own school, Maria became a student and also a teaching assistant to him. At home, Maria's father taught her to watch the stars and other 'natural objects in space using his personal telescope(望远镜). Later she went to work at the library of the Nantucket Atheneum. Over the next twenty years, she further developed her interest in reading as many books as she could. She spent her nights watching the sky closely with her father. On October 1,1847, Maria discovered a comet(彗星)by merely using a two-inch telescope. Some years before, King Frederick VI of Denmark had set up prizes to each discoverer of a "telescopic comet ". The prize was to be given to the "first discoverer" of each such comet because comets were often discovered by more than one person. There was once a question of who should be the winner. As the story goes, Francesco de Vico had discovered the same comet two days later, but had reported it to the European official organization first. However, after some discussion this was settled in Mitchell's favor. She won the prize in 1848 and became a big name the world over. The comet was named "Miss Mitchell's Comet".What problem did Maria meet with in winning the prize? ( )A. She named the comet on her own. B. She did not use the required telescope. C. She did not report her discovery in time. D. She discovered the comet with her father.
选项
A. She named the comet on her own.
B. She did not use the required telescope.
C. She did not report her discovery in time.
D. She discovered the comet with her father.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。由最后一段第二句可知,弗兰西斯科·德·维科在两天后发现了同样的一颗彗星,但是他第一个将这颗彗星报告给了欧洲的官方机构。由此推断出,玛丽亚没能及时报告她的发现。故C正确。
