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 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 — long before computers were even invented — 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.
21. What did Katherine Johnson and Sally Ride have in common?
A. They both did teaching jobs. B. They both traveled to space.
C. They both worked for NASA. D. They both spoke up for women’s rights.
22. Whose name was used to name a computer language?
A. Sally Ride’s. B. Mae Jemison’s.
C. Ada Lovelace’s. D. Katherine Johnson’s.
23. What is Mae Jemison doing at present?
A. Writing a book. B. Leading a project.
C. Starring in a TV series. D. Working as an astronaut.
B
When Kevin Day was a child, he could hardly speak due to a speech impediment ( 口 吃 ). Yet he was
extraordinarily fluent in the language of music. Kevin says, “Music was sort of my way of self-expression when I
couldn’t communicate what I felt with words.”
Now in his mid-20s, Mr. Day is breaking racial and age barriers in classical music. His work has already been
performed at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, the Rachmaninov Concert Hall in Moscow, and
the Carnegie Hall in New York. To reach these peaks, the young black composer has had to overcome tough
challenges.
“He is driven, but he is so uplifted and comforted by music that I don’t think it’s a choice for him,” says Cynthia
Johnston Turner, dean of the music faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. During her previous
post at the University of Georgia, she selected Mr. Day for a master’s program. “He has a lot of resilience ( 复原力)
but let’s not ignore the fact that the systems are piled up against him.”
Mr. Day’s work is influenced by life experiences as much as by musical notes. When he was around 10 years old,
his family’s struggles deepened. Both his parents were unable to find a job. Sometimes there was no electricity or
water in the house. In the end, the family lost their house and car. “I don’t make a big deal out of this stuff,” Mr. Day
notes. “I’m always looking forward and try not to look back, not even for reflection.”
To date, Mr. Day’s 200-plus pieces of music include works for concert bands and symphony orchestras. He’s
eager to branch out into contemporary music, including hip-hop and jazz. He is also earning his doctorate. “I have this
sort of spirit of resilience that I’ve kind of inherited from my parents,” says Mr. Day. It’s given him a sense of urgency
to create music that bolsters listeners going through difficult times. “My goal is to try to help others as well.”
24. Which aspect of Mr. Day does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. His career challenges. B. His career goals.
C. His music styles. D. His music achievements.
25. What can be learned about Mr. Day from Cynthia Johnston Turner’s words?
