Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Mary Ross was born on August 9, 1908, in the state of Oklahoma. Her work is considered critical to the early stages of the age of space travel.
Ross showed special abilities in math and science from an early age. As a student, she developed an interest in aviation, the practice of flying aircraft. She went on to earn a master's degree in mathematics from Colorado State Teachers College -- now called the University of Northern Colorado.
During World War II, Ross began working for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as a mathematician. There, she was urged to complete work in aircraft engineering. She earned a special certification in the field from the University of California - Los Angeles in 1949.
Ross was later chosen to join Lockheed's top-secret Skunk Works team that worked on aircraft designs. The name refers to a group that is permitted to work independently on advanced projects. She was the only female engineer among the team's 40 members.
Early on, she researched defense systems. By the late 1950s, her work centered on satellites and a series of space rockets called Agenda. The rockets were extremely important in the 1960s during the Apollo moon program.
Ross retired from Lockheed in 1973. But she continued to give talks at high schools and colleges to encourage more women and Native Americans to study engineering.
Mary Ross died in 2008, a few months before her 100th birthday.
Questions:
11.In what major did Ross get her master’s degree
12.
13.
14.How many female colleagues did Ross have when working in a Lockheed's top-secret team
15.
16.What did Ross go on to do after her retirement
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Millions of years ago, many large, strange-looking sea creatures lived in what is now the South Atlantic Ocean. Scientists say the continents of South America and Africa separated millions of years ago. As this happened, they say, many kinds of dangerous animals and other life forms settled in the newly formed body of water off the coast of Angola. Today, scientists are studying ancient animal remains discovered on the Angolan coast. They knew there would be remains in the area, but "didn't know how good they would be." Jacobs and a team of scientists and students helped prepare the remains to be shown at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. He said visitors to the museum can see the similarity between the ancient and modern ocean environment and animals. Michael Polcyn, another researcher, says one ancient fish-eating animal had a long nose and teeth similar to that of a dolphin. He notes that visitors can see the remains of large, fierce animals, as well as gentler creatures like an ancient giant sea turtle. "We have a clear picture of this moment in time 72 million years ago that has preserved all of these animals that were living together in one place."
Scientists say a large rock from space hit the earth millions of years ago and killed most of the animals.
Questions:
17.Where are scientists studying the ancient animal remains
18.

20.What does Jacobs do
