　　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 to grow 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, can't you give me poetical science?” Ada got married at 19, to William King who was made the 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 of 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 calculations. Ada was later asked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations(新事物). 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.

24.What happened to Ada in her childhood?

A.She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.

B.She had to compare herself with other women.

C.She gave up learning because of her father.

D.She was greatly cared for by her father.

25.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Ada thought poetry was boring.

B.Ada believed poetry was harder than science.

C.Ada thought science was creative.

D.Ada was interested in both science and poetry.

26.What decided Ada's professional life?

A.The support of the Royal Astronomical Society.

B.Her communication with Babbage.

C.Her husband's encouragement.

D.Somerville's suggestions.

27.What did Ada do after she met Babbage?

A.She taught people how to program.

B.She invented an “Analytical Engine”.

C.She praised Babbage's achievements.

D.She translated an article and developed it.
