If your image of a computer programmer is a young man, there’s a good reason. Data from many big tech companies have shown how few of their employees working in programming and technical jobs are female. Google has the highest rates: 17% of its technical staff is female.
It wasn’t always this way. Decades ago, it was women who pioneered computer programming. But too often, that’s a part of history that even people in the computing industry don’t know.
Last week, I took a trip to the birthplace for today’s computer revolution, Stanford University, and randomly asked over a dozen students if they knew who was the first computer programmer. Only one student, Cheng Daofan, got close. “It’s a woman,” she said, searching her mind for a name. “It’s not necessarily an electronic computer. I think it’s more like a mechanic computer.”
She’s probably thinking of Ada Lovelace, who was born in England on December 10, 1815. Lovelace was Lord Byron’s child, and her mother, Lady Byron, did not want her to turn out to be like her father, a romantic poet. So Lady Byron used mathematics to keep her from becoming a poet.
But Lovelace saw poetry in math. At 17, she met Charles Babbage, who showed her his plans for the Analytical Engine that he believed would be able to do complex mathematical calculations. He asked her to write about his work for a scientific journal. In the article, Lovelace expressed a vision for the machine that went beyond calculations.
“A computer could do anything. Letters of the alphabet, musical notes and even the positions on a chess board could be represented by numbers,” wrote Lovelace. She even gave an example on how to load an instruction into the machine.
Babbage’s machine was never built. But his designs and Lovelace’s article were read by people building the first computer a century later. In 1979, a new computer language was named “Ada” in recognition of her pioneering work with Charles Babbage.
24. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Women are not allowed to work as programmers.
B. Women play a key role in computer programming.
C. Most of the programmers in big companies are men.
D. The environment in big companies is not friendly.
25. What can we say about Lady Byron?
A. She might be unhappy with her husband.
B. She was skilled in educating children.
C. She was good at discovering her daughter’s talents.
D. She was wise to see the potential of the computer so early.
26. What did Charles Babbage ask Ada Lovelace to do?
A. Invent a program for his computer.
B. Explain his Analytical Engine in a journal.
C. Write a poem about his new invention.
D. Do some complex mathematical calculations.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ada, an Advanced Computer Language
B. Charles Babbage, the Pioneer of Computers
C. Analytical Engine, the First Modern Computer
D. Ada Lovelace, the First Computer Programmer
C
Eight months after China put a 10-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, a group of about 10 Yangtze finless porpoises(江豚) were seen in the river of Wuhan, Hubei Province. Their appearance was said to be a result of less interference(干涉)from human activities or an increase food availability.
"Rising water levels during the flood season and the fishing ban may both contribute to this rare animal's appearance. Without interference from human activities, the finless porpoises might be more active," said Zhang Xianfeng, an aquatic(水生的) wildlife researcher.
The finless porpoise is widely believed to be an important health indicator of the Yangtze River. Over the past 40 years, its population has declined dramatically due to many factors, such as climate change and habitat loss. In 2013, it was classified as "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. However, the population has shown some stability in recent years thanks to joint protection from government organs, research institutes and other social organizations.
Zhang believes it's a good thing that the public has become more aware of the urgency of saving the finless porpoise and protecting the ecosystem of the Yangtze River. However, the appearance of the finless porpoises cannot necessarily be seen as a sign that the population is increasing. Its total population, around 1,000, is very limited, which makes the chances for them to have babies very slim in such a long river as the Yangtze River.
To preserve biodiversity along the Yangtze River, China imposed a 10-year fishing ban in 332 conservation areas, protecting not only the finless porpoise but also more than 4,300 kinds of aquatic life living in the Yangtze River. The fishing ban, which is crucial to ecological restoration of the whole river, will significantly expand the finless porpoise's food supply and remove the threat from fishing tools. However, the effect will be known only after three to five years.
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The effect of the 10-year fishing ban.
B. The living conditions of finless porpoises.
C. The necessity of limiting human activities.
D. The reasons for finless porpoises' appearance.
29. What has directly affected the birth rate of finless porpoise?
A. The limited population.
B. The human interference.
C. The lack of public awareness.
D. The length of the Yangtze River.
30. What do we know about the 10-year fishing ban?
A. It was put into effect in Hubei Province.
B. It aims to protect a variety of aquatic life.
C. It increased the number of finless porpoises soon.
D. It forbids human activities along the Yangtze River.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To show the effect of a 10-year fishing ban.
B. To introduce the features of finless porpoises.
C. To record the appearance of finless porpoises.
D. To advocate the protection of the Yangtze River.
D
Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fee debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles(雀斑). Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people don’t care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don’t see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted(斜的)and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country’s most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn’t fit with traditional beauty standards.
Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing’s for sure — no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.
32. What do most western people think of having freckles?
A. It is something unbearable. B. It is a destructive weakness.
C. It is a symbol of traditional beauty. D. It is something to wish for.
33. What do the underlined words “see eye-to-eye” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Recognize their strengths. B. Have the same opinion.
C. Misunderstand each other. D. Argue against one another.
34. Why do western girls prefer to appear mature?
A. They think this beauty standard is better.
B. They hope to have high popularity in Asia.
C. They want to look independent and unique.
D. They admire Wonder Woman very much.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How easterners and westerners think of beauty.
B. What Zara’s beauty standard is.
C. Why Chinese people don’t like freckles.
D. What causes the different beauty standards.

Dear Jim,
I’m very glad to hear from you. In your letter, you said you suffer from depression because of the heavy load of study and didn't know how to get rid of it. Therefore, I am writing to offer you with some suggestions.
First of all, that is quite common for high school students to feel depressing sometimes. Which really matters is that you should face your problem and make up your mind to settle it. The most effectively way is to turn to teachers for help. They will surely provide you with useful and practical advices. Besides, take an active part in sports or you'll feel more energetic than before. Hang out with friends is also good way to relax yourself.
I hope my suggestions can be of some help to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

If your image of a computer programmer is a young man, there’s a good reason. Data from many big tech companies have shown how few of their employees working in programming and technical jobs are female. Google has the highest rates: 17% of its technical staff is female.
It wasn’t always this way. Decades ago, it was women who pioneered computer programming. But too often, that’s a part of history that even people in the computing industry don’t know.
Last week, I took a trip to the birthplace for today’s computer revolution, Stanford University, and randomly asked over a dozen students if they knew who was the first computer programmer. Only one student, Cheng Daofan, got close. “It’s a woman,” she said, searching her mind for a name. “It’s not necessarily an electronic computer. I think it’s more like a mechanic computer.”
She’s probably thinking of Ada Lovelace, who was born in England on December 10, 1815. Lovelace was Lord Byron’s child, and her mother, Lady Byron, did not want her to turn out to be like her father, a romantic poet. So Lady Byron used mathematics to keep her from becoming a poet.
But Lovelace saw poetry in math. At 17, she met Charles Babbage, who showed her his plans for the Analytical Engine that he believed would be able to do complex mathematical calculations. He asked her to write about his work for a scientific journal. In the article, Lovelace expressed a vision for the machine that went beyond calculations.
“A computer could do anything. Letters of the alphabet, musical notes and even the positions on a chess board could be represented by numbers,” wrote Lovelace. She even gave an example on how to load an instruction into the machine.
Babbage’s machine was never built. But his designs and Lovelace’s article were read by people building the first computer a century later. In 1979, a new computer language was named “Ada” in recognition of her pioneering work with Charles Babbage.
24. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Women are not allowed to work as programmers.
B. Women play a key role in computer programming.
C. Most of the programmers in big companies are men.
D. The environment in big companies is not friendly.
25. What can we say about Lady Byron?
A. She might be unhappy with her husband.
B. She was skilled in educating children.
C. She was good at discovering her daughter’s talents.
D. She was wise to see the potential of the computer so early.
26. What did Charles Babbage ask Ada Lovelace to do?
A. Invent a program for his computer.
B. Explain his Analytical Engine in a journal.
C. Write a poem about his new invention.
D. Do some complex mathematical calculations.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ada, an Advanced Computer Language
B. Charles Babbage, the Pioneer of Computers
C. Analytical Engine, the First Modern Computer
D. Ada Lovelace, the First Computer Programmer
C
Eight months after China put a 10-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, a group of about 10 Yangtze finless porpoises(江豚) were seen in the river of Wuhan, Hubei Province. Their appearance was said to be a result of less interference(干涉)from human activities or an increase food availability.
"Rising water levels during the flood season and the fishing ban may both contribute to this rare animal's appearance. Without interference from human activities, the finless porpoises might be more active," said Zhang Xianfeng, an aquatic(水生的) wildlife researcher.
The finless porpoise is widely believed to be an important health indicator of the Yangtze River. Over the past 40 years, its population has declined dramatically due to many factors, such as climate change and habitat loss. In 2013, it was classified as "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. However, the population has shown some stability in recent years thanks to joint protection from government organs, research institutes and other social organizations.
Zhang believes it's a good thing that the public has become more aware of the urgency of saving the finless porpoise and protecting the ecosystem of the Yangtze River. However, the appearance of the finless porpoises cannot necessarily be seen as a sign that the population is increasing. Its total population, around 1,000, is very limited, which makes the chances for them to have babies very slim in such a long river as the Yangtze River.
To preserve biodiversity along the Yangtze River, China imposed a 10-year fishing ban in 332 conservation areas, protecting not only the finless porpoise but also more than 4,300 kinds of aquatic life living in the Yangtze River. The fishing ban, which is crucial to ecological restoration of the whole river, will significantly expand the finless porpoise's food supply and remove the threat from fishing tools. However, the effect will be known only after three to five years.
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The effect of the 10-year fishing ban.
B. The living conditions of finless porpoises.
C. The necessity of limiting human activities.
D. The reasons for finless porpoises' appearance.
29. What has directly affected the birth rate of finless porpoise?
A. The limited population.
B. The human interference.
C. The lack of public awareness.
D. The length of the Yangtze River.
30. What do we know about the 10-year fishing ban?
A. It was put into effect in Hubei Province.
B. It aims to protect a variety of aquatic life.
C. It increased the number of finless porpoises soon.
D. It forbids human activities along the Yangtze River.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To show the effect of a 10-year fishing ban.
B. To introduce the features of finless porpoises.
C. To record the appearance of finless porpoises.
D. To advocate the protection of the Yangtze River.
D
Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fee debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles(雀斑). Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people don’t care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don’t see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted(斜的)and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country’s most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn’t fit with traditional beauty standards.
Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing’s for sure — no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.
32. What do most western people think of having freckles?
A. It is something unbearable. B. It is a destructive weakness.
C. It is a symbol of traditional beauty. D. It is something to wish for.
33. What do the underlined words “see eye-to-eye” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Recognize their strengths. B. Have the same opinion.
C. Misunderstand each other. D. Argue against one another.
34. Why do western girls prefer to appear mature?
A. They think this beauty standard is better.
B. They hope to have high popularity in Asia.
C. They want to look independent and unique.
D. They admire Wonder Woman very much.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How easterners and westerners think of beauty.
B. What Zara’s beauty standard is.
C. Why Chinese people don’t like freckles.
D. What causes the different beauty standards.
