二、阅读理解
Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th 1815. Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George
Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s
changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics
which was unusual for women at the time. She was also punished if her work was not up to standard. However,
she was greatly interested in mathematics and science and would perhaps have learned about them on her own.
Ada was partially disabled and as a result spent much time studying. Ada knew of her mother’s thought about
keeping the creative side of her from germinating (萌芽) however, as Ada herself is known to have said, “If you
can’t give me poetry at least give me poetical science.” Ada married at 19, to William King who was made Earl of
Lovelace in 1838, at which point she became Lady Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, but was known as Ada
Lovelace. Ada and King had a relatively happy marriage, with King even encouraging his wife’s love for
numbers.
During her youth Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville, who was known as the “Queen of 19th
Century Science” and was the first woman to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical Society. It was through
Mary Somerville that Ada first heard of Charles Babbage’s idea for a new calculating (计算) engine. Attracted by
this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.
Ada met Babbage when she was around 17 and the two became close friends. Babbage was working on an
“Analytical Engine”, something he was designing to deal with complex ( 复杂的) calculations. Ada was laterasked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations
and innovations (创新). Her notes were published in 1843 and it turned out that what she had written was so
original, it is now seen as the first comprehensive comment on what would become modern-day computer
programming. Although impressive, Ada was not actually given credit for the article until 1848.
31．What happened to Ada in her childhood?
A．She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.
B．She had to compare herself with other women.

32．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Ada thought poetry was boring.
B．Ada thought science was creative.
C．Ada was interested in both science and poetry.
D．Ada believed poetry was harder than science.
33．What decided Ada’s professional life?

B．She invented an “Analytical Engine”.
C．She translated an article and developed it.
D．She praised Babbage’s achievements.
In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Wu
Mingzhu, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
“About 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet-melons served at people’s dining tables every day are the

over the past 60 years and have cultivated(培育)more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through offseason
breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding, double haploid breeding and distant
hybridization breeding, Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm(种质)resources, from which they cultivated
more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (香瓜)varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance,
said Yi Hongping, former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Center.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to
south. Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas, as far as California. Wu’s work has left her a number
of honors. The “queen of melons” became an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and
an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.

made great discoveries. Jane Goodall’s lifelong 41 in animals began at an early age. By the age of 10 or 11,
Goodall 42 going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a strange dream in those days, as young girls
didn’t think of having such “wild” actions. But she was 43 by her mother. She told her that if she really
wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of 44 and never give up looking for a way.
When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957, she readily 45 it. Within a few months of her
arrival, she met the famous anthropologist(人类学家) Dr Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Goodall was the

became used to her presence.
In October 1960, she observed a chimp making and using 50 to fish for termites(白蚁). This discovery
threw 51 on the popular idea at the time that man was the world’s only toolmaker. The longer Goodall’s
research continues, the more it becomes obvious that chimps are very 52 to humans.
Since the mid-1980s, Goodall has been lecturing around the world to raise people’s sense about
environmental 53 . “ Let’s live in the new age with hope, respect for all living things, understanding and
love.” she said.

Zu Chongzhi was a famous and remarkable mathematician and scientist in ancient China. He lived in
the Northern and Southern Dynasties. When he was young, he had 54 broad range of interests, such as 55
(nature) science and philosophy. And he was interested in mathematics, astronomy and machinery. The
achievement Zu Chongzhi made in the calculation (计算) of the value of pi has been 56 (international)
acknowledged.
Liu Hui, a mathematician in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, proposed a way 57 (work) out the value of pi—
the cyclotomic method (割圆术). Based on the earlier research, Zu Chongzhi came to the conclusion that the
value of pi falls between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927 after more than 1,000 58 (time) of calculation. He also 59
(put) forward the viewpoint that the approximate value of pi is 355/113, which is called “milü”. It boosted the
calculation of pi to a new phase. It was more than 1,000 years before the Western mathematicians calculated the
same value. Thus the value of pi is also called “zulü” 60 memory of him.
Besides the achievement in mathematics, he wrote the book Zhui Shu, 61 gathered his accomplishments
in mathematics and 62 (take) as a teaching material during the Tang Dynasty. And he also made a great 63
(contribute) to astronomy and machinery.
