Question

8．Grace Murray was born on December 9，1906 in New York City．In 1928 she finished her education in Vassar College in math and physics．Since then，she had been teaching at Vassar and continued her studies at Yale University，where she achieved a lot in math in 1934．
     In 1930，Grace Murray married VincentFoster Hopper．They were happy together for 15 years．She taught at Vassaruntil 1943，when she joined the United States Navy（海軍）to help her country during World War 2．Then she was given a job at the Bureau of Computation Project at Harvard University，where she worked on the Mark Series of computers．
      In 1945，she began to do research inapplied（應用）physics at Harvard's Computation Laboratory．In 1949 she joined the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation and worked with them.18 years later，she returned to the Navy．She retired in 1971 but continued teaching for the computer development．Brewster Academy，a school in Wolfeboro，New Hampshire，the United States，gave their computer lab to her for free in 1985，calling it the Grace Murray Hopper Center for Computer Learning．She had spent her childhood summers at a local family in Wolfeboro．She passed away in her sleep in 1992．Since her death，her workmate Elenor Briggs has been going on with her jobs．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇人物故事類文章．主要介紹了格雷斯•穆雷出生于1906年的12月9日紐約市．1928年她完成了在瓦薩學院的數學教育和物理學教育．從那之后，她就開始在瓦薩學院教書并且在耶魯大學繼續深造，在那里在1934年她在數學上取得了很多成績．在二戰中加入海軍．1945年在哈佛大學的計算實驗室，開始研究應用物理，1971年退休，在1992年去世．格雷斯在計算機領域是一個偉大的領導者．

解答 61．答案：C．細節理解題．根據"In 1928 she finished her education in Vassar College in math and physics．Since then，she had been teaching at Vassar"以及"She taught at Vassar until 1943"1943-1928=15，可知題大約在那教了15年，故選C．
62．答案：A．細節理解題．根據"Since then，she had been teaching at Vassar and continued her studies at Yale University，where she achieved a lot in math in 1934．"自從那時候起，就一直在瓦薩學院教書，并且持續耶魯大學數學，1934年的時候，在那里在數學方面取得了很多成績．可知他是在耶魯大學研究的是數學．故選A．
63．答案：B．細節理解題．根據"She had spent her childhood summers at a local family in Wolfeboro．"可知她曾經在那里生活過一段時間，所以才無償讓她使用計算機實驗室．故選B．
64．答案：B．短語理解題．根據"Since her death"可知pass away的意思是去世了，故選B．
65．答案：D．篇章結構題．本文主要是按照時間的先后順序，從出生到去世，介紹了格雷斯•穆雷的生平．所以要選D．
