1. 词汇部分：职业类名词，除historian、chemist外，常见职业名词可填scientist（科学家）、physicist（物理学家）、inventor（发明家），均属于职业范畴，符合要求。
2. 结构部分：
第1题：运用“It is + adj. + of sb. to do sth.”句型，great后需接不定式，故第一空填to develop；and连接并列谓语，help与develop并列，故第二空填help。
第2题：运用“It is + adj. + that...”句型，结合语境，法拉第在物理化学领域的成就令人惊叹，故第一空填amazing；“do research in”是固定搭配，描述他的研究行为，故第二空填did research。
第3题：运用“It is + adj. + for sb. to do sth.”句型，difficult后用for引出动作对象women，故第一空填for；不定式to do作真正主语，故第二空填to do。
