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（海军）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（应用）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类文章．主要介绍了格雷斯•穆雷出生于1906年的12月9日纽约市．1928年她完成了在瓦萨学院的数学教育和物理学教育．从那之后，她就开始在瓦萨学院教书并且在耶鲁大学继续深造，在那里在1934年她在数学上取得了很多成绩．在二战中加入海军．1945年在哈佛大学的计算实验室，开始研究应用物理，1971年退休，在1992年去世．格雷斯在计算机领域是一个伟大的领导者．

解答 61．答案：C．细节理解题．根据"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，可知题大约在那教了15年，故选C．
62．答案：A．细节理解题．根据"Since then，she had been teaching at Vassar and continued her studies at Yale University，where she achieved a lot in math in 1934．"自从那时候起，就一直在瓦萨学院教书，并且持续耶鲁大学数学，1934年的时候，在那里在数学方面取得了很多成绩．可知他是在耶鲁大学研究的是数学．故选A．
63．答案：B．细节理解题．根据"She had spent her childhood summers at a local family in Wolfeboro．"可知她曾经在那里生活过一段时间，所以才无偿让她使用计算机实验室．故选B．
64．答案：B．短语理解题．根据"Since her death"可知pass away的意思是去世了，故选B．
65．答案：D．篇章结构题．本文主要是按照时间的先后顺序，从出生到去世，介绍了格雷斯•穆雷的生平．所以要选D．
