[素能提升练] I．阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共17.5分) A Four Women Who Made Scientific History Katherine Johnson (1918－2020) Katherine Johnson was a black mathematician and one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist. As a mathematician, she calculated (计算) and analyzed the flight paths of NASA spacecraft. She is best known for making the calculations that allowed the first Americans to enter Earth's orbit and set foot on the moon. The 2016 movie Hidden Figures records Johnson's life and work at NASA. Sally Ride (1951－2012) Sally Ride was important in creating career and educational opportunities for women and girls in science and mathematics. As an astronaut, she became the first American woman in space in 1983. On NASA's second and third Space Shuttle missions, her job was to work the robotic arm, which she used to put satellites into space. After she stopped working for NASA, she founded NASA's EarthKAM project, which provided students the opportunity to take pictures of the Earth and then study them. In 2003, she was added to the Astronaut Hall of Fame. Ada Lovelace (1815－1852) Ada Lovelace is regarded as the world's first computer programmer. She helped develop the idea for a computing machine, and invented an algorithm (算法) for a computer. To honor her contributions, the U．S. Department of Defense named a new computer language “Ada” in the 1980s. Mae Jemison (1956－ ) Mae Jemison is a doctor, engineer, and former NASA astronaut. In 1992, she became the first Black woman to travel into space. Jemison excels in many scientific fields, has authored several books, and even appeared on an episode (一集) of Star Trek: The Next Generation.She was included in the National Women's Hall of Fame and the International Space Hall of Fame. Currently, she leads the 100 Year Starship project through the U．S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. This project is devoted to ensuring that human travel to another star is possible in the next 100 years. 语篇解读　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了创造科学史的四位女性。 1．What did Katherine Johnson and Sally Ride have in common?

Get rid of distractions (分心的事物) How do we focus better if we are always bombarded(轰炸) with information? 1 ． Researchers found that cognitive capacity(认知能力) was significantly better when the phone was out of sight, not just switched off. Keeping your primary focus is to complete what you need to do. During this time, request that you be left alone. Shutting off external disturbances can help you concentrate. 2 Scientific research is starting to collect evidence on the ability of brain training activities to strengthen concentration in adults. Such brain training games can also help you develop your working and short-term memory, as well as your processing and problem-solving skills. Examples of such games include jigsaw puzzles, chess, and brain-stimulating video games. Stop for a break When you focus on something for a long time, your focus may begin to die down. 3 . Researchers have found that our brains tend to ignore sources of constant stimulation(刺激). Taking very small breaks can dramatically improve mental concentration after that. Move around or talk to someone when you begin to feel stuck. 4 ． Get some workouts 5 ．They promote brain health too, which is important for memory capacity and concentration, according to John Ratey, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. So start your day with simple exercises and get your body moving. A．Train your brain B．Monitor your brain activities C．Close social media and keep your phone hidden from sight in a bag D．Routine exercise releases chemicals key for memory and concentration E．You will come back with a more focused mind to keep your performance high F．Exercises like running, swimming, and weight lifting aren't just good for the body G．You may feel it becomes more and more difficult to devote your attention to the task 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍四种方法来帮助提高试图专注于困难或者无聊的工作时面临的问题。 1．答案：C 解析：根据小标题“Get rid of distractions (分心的事物)”及下文“Researchers found that cognitive capacity(认知能力) was significantly better when the phone was out of sight, not just switched off.”可知，手机是导致人们注意力不集中的因素，C项与空前“How do we focus better if we are always bombarded(轰炸) with information？”上下文语意一致。故选C。 2．答案：A 解析：空格处是小标题。根据下文“Scientific research is starting to collect evidence on the ability of brain training activities to strengthen concentration in adults.”可知，本段主要内容和训练大脑有关。A项“训练你的大脑”符合语境。故选A。 3．答案：G 解析：根据小标题“Stop for a break”及空前“When you focus on something for a long time, your focus may begin to die down.”可知，G项与上下文语意一致，都是在论述长时间专注于某件事时的反应。故选G。 4．答案：E 解析：根据小标题“Stop for a break”及空前“Taking very small breaks can dramatically improve mental concentration after that.
