阅读理解。     In 1983, Jackie Joyner took part in the world track and field championships in Helsinki, Finland. Her first
chance to be a world champion ended in disaster, however, when she got injured and could not complete the
heptathlon (七项全能). Her brother Al was also present, and he too was injured. Al Joyner said to his sister, "lt"s
just not our time yet."
      One year later, both Jackie and Al Joyner joined the U. S. Olympic team. Having recovered from her
injuries, Jackie was a favorite to win the heptathlon. Al, on the other hand, was not considered likely to win his
event, the triple jump (三级跳). Surprisingly, Jackie won the silver medal in the heptathlon, missing the gold by
only 0. 06 seconds in her final event, the 800-meter run. But Al Joyner became the first American in 80 years
to win the Olympic triple jump. The tears running down Jackie"s face at the end of the day were not for her
hair"s breadth loss (毫厘之间的失败), but rather for the joy at her brother"s success. The brother knew that
Jackie would be back to compete another day.
     In 1985,Jackie Joyner set a U. S. record with a long jump of 23 feet 9 inches. At that time she was under
the guidance of Bob Kersee. Their relationship changed after years spent working together as friends, and they
got married on January 11,1986. When Al Joyner married an athlete named Florence Griffith, the stage was set
for the emergence (出现) of a track and field family of champions. Both the women were coached (指导) by
Bob Kersee in preparation for the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
     At the 1988 Olympics, Jackie Joyner-Kersee not only won the gold medal in the heptathlon, but also took
the gold medal in the long jump. Florence Griffith Joyner"s performance was also exciting. She won three gold
medals at the Olympic Games in the 100,200 and 4×100 meters relay. 1. By saying "It"s just not our time yet", Al wanted to tell Jackie ______.A. to be careful
B. not to be nervous
C. not to give up
D. to stop doing sports 2. From Paragraph 2,we learn people thought that ______. A. Jackie would win the Olympic heptathlon
B. Al would win the Olympic triple jump
C. both Jackie and Al would win a gold medal
D. neither Jackie nor Al would win a gold medal 3. What do we learn about Jackie from the passage? A. She first became a world champion in 1983.
B. She won a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics.
C. She set a long jump world record in 1985.
D. She won two Olympic gold medals in 1988.4. What is the passage mainly about?A. The world track and field championships.
B. Jackie and her family of champions.
C. The events and rules of the heptathlon.
D. The greatest sports stars in the U. S.

     Born in London in 1815, Ada Lovelace was the daughter of Annabella Millbanke and the British poet Lord
Byron. Her parents separated just a month after she was born. Less than a year later, Lord Byron went abroad
and never returned ( he died in Greece in 1824). Ada never knew her father and was raised by her mother. Her mother had mathematical training and insisted that Ada, who was educated privately, study mathematics too.
Ada did well not only in mathematics and science, but also in music and PE.
     In 1833, Ada met Charles Babbage, a famous English mathematician. He was known as the inventor of a
calculating machine called the Difference Engine. They became good friends and began to write to each other
 on the topics of mathematics, logic, and many other subjects.
     Babbage had made plans in 1834 for a new kind of calculating machine ( although the Difference Engine
was not finished),an Analytical Engine. Few people in England would support him with his first machine
unfinished. But he found support for his new calculating machine abroad. In 1842, an Italian mathematician,
Louis Menabrea, published a paper in French on the subject of the Analytical Engine. Babbage asked Ada to
translate the paper.
     When she showed Babbage her translation he suggested that she add her own notes, which turned out to be
three times as long as Menabrea" s. The notes are the source of her enduring fame (不朽的声誉 ). In her notes, Ada predicted (预言 )that such a machine might be used to write music, to draw pictures, and would be used
for both practical and scientific use. She was correct.
     After she wrote the description of Babbage" s Analytical Engine,her life was plagued (折磨) with illnesses.
In 1852, she died of cancer and was buried beside her father at Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire, England.
     In 1980, 165 years after Ada" s birth, the US Defense Department announced a powerful new computer
language. They named it Ada in honor of Ada Lovelace" s important role in the history of computing.
1. It seemed that Ada" s mother _____.
A. had little money to educate Ada at home
B. wanted Ada to be a great musician
C. didn"t wish Ada to be a poet like her father
D. didn"t think Ada was a clever girl
2. Babbage didn" t find support for his Analytical Engine in Britain because _____.
A. his first calculating machine was not finished
B. no one thought the machine would be useful
C. he had moved to Italy and settled there
D. most of his inventions proved useless
3. Menabrea" s paper on Babbage" s Analytical Engine was written in _____.
A. English
B. Italian
C. German
D. French
4. What do we learn about Ada from the passage?
A. She was remembered as a great translator.
B. Her predictions have come true.
C. Her notes were written in computer language.
D. She led a long and fruitful life.
