English mathematician Ada Lovelace has been called the world’s first computer program-mer. In the 1840s, she wrote the world’s first algorithm (算法) for an early computing machine.
Ada Lovelace was the daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron. Born in London, England in 1815, she was raised by her mother, Lady Anne Byron. Lady Byron didn’t want her daughter to be a poet like her father, so she had her study science, French, and maths. Love-lace showed a talent for numbers and languages at an early age.
In 1833, Lovelace met Charles Babbage, who had invented a machine called the Difference Engine. She was fascinated by the machine and became Babbage’s lifelong friend. Babbage had a new project in mind, a much more advanced (高级的) machine, the Analytical Engine. They discussed maths and computing as he developed the Analytical Engine.
In 1843, Lovelace translated a French article that Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea wrote about Babbage’s Analytical Engine into English. She added many notes of her own to the translation (译文) since she knew well about Babbage’s work. Her notes showed how Babbage’s Analytical Engine would work, and gave a set of instructions for using the machine.
Ada Lovelace died in 1852, when she was just 36 years old. Lovelace’s contributions to the field of computer science were not discovered until the 1950s. In 1953, her notes on Babbage’s Analytical Engine were published. The engine is now considered as a model of a computer, and Lovelace’s notes as a description (描述) of a computer and software.
In 1980, a new computer language was named “Ada” in honor of Ada Lovelace.
21.Which of the following is TRUE about Lady Byron?
A.She taught her daughter French. B.She was a famous mathematician.
C.She wanted her daughter to be a programmer. D.She valued her daughter’s education.
22.How old was Ada Lovelace when she met Charles Babbage?
A.About 18. B.About 19. C.About 20. D.About 21.

“When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner.

Oh, so easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner in twenty-eight minutes. “
“David Prig, a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand winning games. “

1.句意:但也许很少有人听说过他对别人的善良和宽容。
heard about听说;worried about担心;brought about引起;looked about四下观望。根据下文“The following is a true story about him.”可知,此处指很少有人听说过他对人善良和宽容的故事。故选A。
2.句意:在他的实验中,爱迪生终于制造出了一个可以工作的灯泡——这是数百次试验的最终结果。
sold卖;produced制造;accepted接受;checked检查。根据下文“It was the first electric light bulb that had ever been made”可知,爱迪生制造出了一个灯泡。故选B。
3.句意:这是人类制造的第一个电灯泡,爱迪生非常自豪。
hope希望;anxiety焦虑;pride自豪;surprise惊喜。根据“It was the first electric light bulb that had ever been made”可知,爱迪生制造出了历史上第一个灯泡,他应该感到自豪。故选C。
4.句意:突然一声撞击声,爱迪生转过身来,发现他珍贵的灯泡掉在地上,摔成了碎片。
Luckily幸运地;Excitingly刺激地;Finally最后;Suddenly突然。根据上文“Take it upstairs”可知,刚刚爱迪生还让助理把完好的灯泡拿上楼,然后就听到撞击声,说明“灯泡摔碎”是突然发生的事。故选D。
5.句意:吉米不小心让灯泡从指间滑了出去。
sadly伤心地;angrily生气地;carelessly不小心地;carefully仔细地。根据“let the bulb slip”和选项可知,这是人类历史上第一个灯泡,吉米应是不小心摔碎的。故选C。
6.句意:他回到他的工作台上,又开始做另一个灯泡。
fan风扇;bulb电灯泡;phone电话;book书。根据上文“to see that his precious bulb had fallen to the ground and broken into pieces on the floor.”可知,之前做好的灯泡摔碎了,所以爱迪生重新再做一个灯泡。故选B。

9.句意:不是记忆的能力,而是它的对立面——遗忘的能力,是我们生存的必要条件。
receive收到;remember记得;keep保持;improve改进。根据“but its very opposite, the power to forget”可知,与“忘记”相反的是“记住”。故选B。
10.句意:人生苦短,没有人是完美的。
strong强壮的;nice美好的;bad坏的;perfect完美的。根据下文“If we can forgive those who have hurt us”可知,我们要原谅那些伤害过我们的人,由此可知没有人是完美的,谁都会犯错。故选D。

11.句意:他是当时的一位伟大的教师。
a一,用于辅音音素开头的单词前;an一,用于元音音素开头的单词前;the表特指,定冠词;/不用冠词。teacher为单数名词,此处表示“一位教师”,应用不定冠词表泛指,great为辅音音素开头的单词,因此不定冠词用a。故选A。
12.句意:孔子也以孔丘著称。
know知道,动词原形;knew知道,过去式;knowing知道,动名词;known知道,过去分词。be known as“以……著称”。故选D。
13.句意:然而,有些人描述他生来贫穷。
However然而;And并且;So因此;Because因为。根据上一句“It is generally thought that he was born into a rich family.”可知,人们普遍认为他出生于富裕的家庭,此处表示他生来贫穷,与上一句存在转折关系,应用表示转折关系的副词来衔接。故选A。

Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (大师) in 1977. He was given the silver cup.
“It isn’t rightly mine,” he said, when he was holding the cup. “It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in…”
“A family was staying at my hotel at that time. Mrs. Prig, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He’s only ten,’ she said. ‘I’ve been told that he plays quite well. ‘”
“Well, as you can guess, I wasn’t happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick. . . and so it was. “
“I soon knew that David Prig was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall. The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board. ‘Call me when you are ready, Mr. Watson,’ he said.”
“When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten. Oh, so easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner in twenty-eight minutes. “
“David Prig, a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand winning games. “

31.推理判断题。根据第四段“I wasn’t happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. (我不高兴。一个球员喜欢对手打得和他一样好。但当时是假期,我同意去玩。)”可知,他觉得对手是个10岁的孩子,而他自己是个大师,所以觉得能轻松取胜。故选C。
32.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. ... He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board. ‘Call me when you are ready, Mr. Watson,’ he said.”(快速移动,然后打网球,回到棋盘上,然后回到妹妹身边。……他漫不经心地移动棋子。我把注意力放在了黑板上。‘华生先生,你准备好了就给我打电话,’他说。)”可推知,David下棋思维敏捷,给对手留下的了大量思考的时间,故而有时间去打球,即便在这种情况下David还是赢了这局棋,这说明他的水平是高于作者的。故选B。
33.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten. (我的困境变得无法改变。我被打败了。)”可知,David Prig打败了作者,是最后的赢家。故选A。
