There's no doubt that one of the greatest human achievements is the exploration of the space．Ever since astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to be sent into the orbit around the moon in 1961，scientists have been pushing the boundaries further and further．But until now the exploration into the unknown has been dominated（主導(dǎo)） by men．
Of course，in the past，women were also included in the space projects and played an active role on the ground and behind the scenes．For example．they worked as seamstresses（女裁縫師），sewing vital spaceflight components．In fact，many of NASA's key works would never have been possible without them．Recently Hollywood produced a movie called Hidden Figures to focus on a group of American female mathematicians，especially the black women，who helped NASA send the first American into space．But this was not women's only contribution．Back in 1963，Soviet astronaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to be sent into space．However，after that，space flight programs were slow to employ women．In the USA．NASA didn't accept applications from women to become astronauts until 1978．
But attitudes have changed and leading officials at NASA say that the first person to set foot on Mars should be a woman．The space agency aims to have a sex-balanced workforce but can only achieve that if equal numbers of men and women are trained for science and technology jobs．As Allison McIntryre told the BBC， "My director is a woman，We have female astronauts．We haven't put a woman on the moon yet．And I think that perhaps the first person to step on Mars should be a woman．"

D
D

1．George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker，not an artist.Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure，Mr.Nakashima rejected the label of artist.For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs，tables，and cabinets.
   Nakashima had a clear goal.He intended to make each piece of furniture as perfect as possible.Even making a box was an act of creation，because it produced an object that had never existed before.Initially Nakashima used local wood，sometimes from his own property.Later，he traveled to seek out English oak，Persian walnut，African zebrawood and Indian teak.He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was cut down.Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.
   Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards，but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots （節(jié)疤） and cracks.These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a colourful life.
   He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful.One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter，Mira，to use when she sat at the table for meals.The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions.Another famous piece，the conoid chair，has two legs supported by blade-like feet.Always，Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful，marked by the simplicity that revealed his love for the wood.
   As the years passed，Nakashima's reputation grew and he received many awards.His children Mira and Kevin，now adults，joined the team of crafts-people in their father's studio.Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true.

（1）Which of the following best describes Nakashima？

A．Generous and outgoing.

A．They had an art studio of their own.
B．They still lacked the ability to create artworks.
C．They had a common interest with their father.
D．They enjoyed the same reputation with their father.

3．When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors，how do they know who's who？
   In the past，scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them.But in the future，they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
   A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys （金絲猴） that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.
   Similar to human facial recognition，the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database （數(shù)據(jù)庫） that includes every monkey，Xinhua reported.
   "When the system is fully developed，we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains.The system will automatically （自動(dòng)地） recognize the monkeys，name them and analyze their
behavior， " said Zhang He，a member of the research team.
   "For each snub-nosed monkey，we have 700 to 800 image samples，and the recognition success rate is 94 percent， "Zhang added.
   "We used mobile phones and portable （可攜帶的） cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters， " said He Gang，a member of the research team and an associate （副的） professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. "There is no need to interfere （打擾） with the monkeys . . .Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive （非侵入性的）. "
   Compared to humans，facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces.The color of their hair causes them to blend （融入） into their environment.These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
   "Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do.It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them，which are needed to improve the system， "said Li Baoguo，leader of the research team.
   Currently，there are about 4，000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain.The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.

（1）What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text？

A．How to mark them.
B．How to tell them apart.
C．How to understand their behavior.
D．How to observe them clearly
（2）What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys？

A．It is now widely adopted in China.
B．It works better than human facial recognition.
C．It will use monkeys' behavior to create a database.
D．It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.
（3）What does "these factors" in paragraph 8 refer to？

a.Image samples.
b.Hairy faces.
c.Hair color.
d.The environment.
A．a(chǎn)b
B．a(chǎn)c
C．bc
D．bd
