参考解析:
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie”可知,玛丽很幸运地在巴黎大学,和她那个时代最伟大的科学家一起学习,其中一个就是皮埃尔·居里,因此A项正确;根据文章最后一段第三句“In 1911, she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for isolating radium”可知,1911年,她因提取镭而获得诺贝尔化学奖,因此B项错误;根据文章最后一段倒数第二句“Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from her long exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about her work”可知,虽然居里夫人长期接触镭,最终患上了致命的疾病,但她从未对自己的工作感到失望,因此C项正确;根据文章最后一段最后一句“Regardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world”可知,不管后果如何,她致力于科学,揭示物理世界的奥秘,D项正确。题干要求选出错误的选项。故选B。
