问题     At a time when a towering personality like Mme. Curie
has come to the end of her life, let us not merely rest content
recalling what she has given to mankind in the fruits of her     【M1】______
work. It is the moral qualities of its leading personalities and 【M2】______
that are perhaps of even greater significance for a generation
and for the course of history purely                             【M3】______
intellectual accomplishments. Even these latter are, to a far
greater degree than is commonly credited, dependent of the       【M4】______
stature of character.
    She was oppressed by an abiding sense for the asperities
and inequalities of society. This is what gave her that severe
outward aspect, so easily interpreted by those who were not      【M5】______
close to her--a serious severity unbelieved by any artistic strain.
Once she had recognized a certain way as the right one, she pursued
it without compromise and extreme tenacity.                      【M6】______
    The greatest scientific deed of her life--proving the
existence of radioactive elements and isolating them--owe        【M7】______
its accomplishment not merely to bold intuition but to a devotion【M8】______
and tenacity in execution under the most extreme hardships imaginable,
such as the history of experimental science has not often witnessed.
    If but a small part of Mme. Curie’s strength of
character and devotion is alive in Europe’s intellectuals,       【M9】______
Europe would face a bright future.                               【M10】______
【M6】
选项
答案and extreme: with
解析 结合上下文。She pursued the way without compromise and with extreme tenacity. "compromise"为"a settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions."妥协。"tenacity"为"tile capacity of clinging, being adhensive, holding firmly, as to a belief; stubborness."坚毅。
