24、Institute of Technology(MIT).It was in the laboratory of Prof.Edward Lorenz that I learned what a computer was and how to develop software.One day my husband saw a newspaper advertisement.The MIT Instrumentation Laboratory was looking for people to develop software to send man to the moon.Deeply att
25、racted both by the idea and the fact that it had never been done before,I became the first programmer to join and the first woman the lab hired.At the beginning,nobody thought software was such a big deal.But then they began to realize how much they were relying on it.Our software needed to be very
26、reliable and able to detect an error and recover from it at any time during the mission.My daughter,Lauren,liked to intimate meplaying astronaut.One day,she was with me when I was doing a simulation(模拟)of a mission to the moon.She started hitting keys and all of a sudden,she selected a program which
27、 was supposed to be run before launch.The computer had so little space that it wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon.I thought:my Godthis could happen by accident in a real mission.I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight.But the higher-ups
28、at MIT and NASA said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake.On the very next mission,Apollo 8,one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done.The Lauren bug!It created destruction and required the mission to be rearranged.After that,they let me put t
29、he program change in.It was the program change that had a crucial influence on the success of the mission of Apollo 11.During the early days of Apollo,software was not taken as seriously as other engineering disciplines(学科).It was out of desperation I came up with the term software engineering.Then
30、one day in a meeting,one of the most respected hardware experts explained to everyone that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be considered an engineering discipline,just like with hardware.It was a memorable moment.24.What do we know about the author?A.She created t
31、he term software engineering.B.She is the first woman ever hired by MIT.C.She taught Lauren to write software.D.She got her masters degree from MIT.25.The Lauren bug in Para.5 refers to _.A.a pet to accompany Lauren B.a mistake causing data loss C.a software ending prelaunch D.a mission to land on t
32、he moon 5 26.What greatly contributed to Apollo 11s success according to the passage?A.The in-time upload of data.B.Astronauts rich experience.C.Experts new attitude.D.The program change.27.What can we learn from Margarets story?A.Honesty is the best policy.B.Two heads are better than one.C.Chances
33、favor the prepared mind.D.A good beginning is half done.C If there is one place you dont want to stick your finger,its the mouth of a Pacific lingcod.These fearsome fish have around 500 needlelike teeth sticking out of jaws(颌)that are strong enough to crush crustaceans(甲壳动物).How lingcod maintain the
34、 sharpness of their terrifying teeth has long been a puzzle.But a study,published in November in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B,claims that Pacific lingcod keep their teeth sharp and shiny by replacing about three percent of them every day.For a lingcod,thats up to 20 teeth replaced daily.In
35、 order to determine the frequency at which lingcod replace their teeth,Ms.Cohen,a coauthor of the new study,and her colleagues kept 20 lingcod at the University of Washingtons Friday Harbor Laboratories and tracked how many teeth they lost and regrew over several days.The fish were placed in a tank
36、of seawater mixed with a red dye(染料)that colored their teeth,then returned to their regular tank for 10 days.When the 10 days were up,the fish were placed in a tank containing a green dye and then examined.The teeth that were present since the start of the experiment were both red and green,whereas
37、the new teeth were only green.After collecting and examining a total of 10,000 teeth,the scientists were able to determine how quickly lingcod lost and regrew their teeth and which teeth were replaced most often.Lingcod,like most fish,have two sets of jaws:oral jaws and pharyngeal jaws.Their oral ja
38、ws are used to catch food while their pharyngeal jaws,which are positioned in their throats,are used to chew their food and move it from their mouths to the stomach.Ms.Carr,the lead author,and colleagues found that teeth are replaced more frequently in the back of the mouth,where most of the chewing
39、 and crushing take place.The way lingcod replace their teeth is likely crucial to their hunting strategy,says Kory Evans,a fish ecologist at Rice University in Houston.The duller a lingcods teeth are,the harder it is going to be for it to hold on to its target.So having the ability to shed teeth and
40、 replace them is pretty important.Dr.Evans said,In order to make it as a lingcod,you need sharp pointy teeth and all your teeth need to be on point.28.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.What role seawater played.B.How teeth changed their colors.C.What conclusion was reached.D.How the study wa
41、s conducted.6 29.According to the passage,lingcods teeth are replaced _.A.to better hunt for food B.every 10 days C.faster in the oral jaw D.with bigger and sharper ones 30.What does the underlined word shed in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Repair.B.Lose.C.Sharpen.D.Examine.31.What is the purpo
42、se of writing this passage?A.To warn people of the danger of a fish.B.To suggest new ways to conduct studies on fish.C.To introduce the findings of a new study.D.To stress the importance of replacing teeth.D As college sports continue to be hugely popular and the National Collegiate Athletic Associa
43、tion(NCAA)brings in large amounts of money,people have restarted the debate on whether college athletes should get paid.Supporters of the idea believe that,because college athletes are bringing in audiences,they should receive some sort of compensation(补偿).In fact,the NCAA brings in about$1 billion
44、income a year,but college athletes dont receive any of that money in the form of a paycheck.Additionally,people who believe college athletes should be paid state that paying college athletes will actually encourage them to remain in college longer and not turn professionals as quickly,either by givi
45、ng them a way to begin earning money in college or requiring them to sign a contract(合同)saying theyll stay at the university for a certain number of years while making an agreed-upon salary.People who argue against the idea of paying college athletes believe the practice could be disastrous for coll
46、ege sports.Paying athletes would turn college sports into a bidding(竞拍)war,where only the richest schools could afford top athletes,and most schools would be shut out from developing a talented team.It could also harm the camaraderie within many college teams if players become unhappy that certain t
47、eammates are making more money than they are.Those against paying college athletes also believe that the athletes are receiving enough benefits already.The top athletes receive scholarships that are worth tens of thousands per year.They receive free food and textbooks,get travel bonuses and free equ
48、ipment,and can use their time in college as a way to attract the attention of professional coaches.No other college students receive anywhere near as much from their schools.While both sides have good points,its clear that the negatives of paying college athletes far outweigh the positives.College a
49、thletes have been compensated enough.Adding a salary would result in a college athletic system where only a few athletes are paid by some schools who enter bidding wars to sign them up,while most student athletics and college athletic programs suffer or even shut down for lack of money.Continuing to
50、 offer the present benefits to student athletes makes it possible for as many people to benefit from and enjoy college sports as possible.7 32.It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that college athletes _.A.tend to serve college longer when paid B.have earned what they are promised C.should sign a cont
