51.it wasn t much a picture showing a black x. but three of these people won the nobel prize for figuring out what the photo really showed the shape of dna. the discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists james watson, francis crick，and maurice wilkins. the fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.her name was rosalind franklin. “she should have been up there，” says historian mary bowden.“ if her photos hadn t been there, the others couldn t have come up with the structure.” one reason franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the nobel decision.but now scholars doubt that franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors.at cambridge university in the 1950s, watson and crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of dna s parts and then putting them together. in the meantime, at king s college in london, franklin and wilkins shone xrays at the molecule (分子). the rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.but wilkins and franklins relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of watson and crick. wilkins thought franklin was hired to be his assistant. but the college actually employed her to take over the dna project.what she did was produce xray pictures that told watson and crick that one of their early models was inside out. and she was not shy about saying so. that angered watson, who attacked her in return，“ mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. clearly she had to go or be put in her place.”as franklins competitors, wilkins, watson and crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian pnina abiram. in 1962 at the nobel prize awarding ceremony, wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned franklin. watson wrote his book laughing at her. crick wrote in 1974 that “franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”no, franklin was the solution.“ she contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of dna. she must be considered a codiscoverer，” abiram says. this was backed up by aaron klug, who worked with franklin and later won a nobel prize himself. once described as the “dark lady of dna”， franklin is finally coming into the light.语篇解读谁发现了dna，仅仅只有james watson，francis crick和maurice wilkins吗？本文作者告诉我们，功劳也有rosalind franklin的一份。1what is the text mainly about?a. the disagreements among dna researchers.b. the unfair treatment of franklin.c. the process of discovering dna.d. the race between two teams of scientists.解析主旨大意题。通读全文，可知franklin在dna的发现中也做出了重要贡献，但却由于某些原因而不为人知。由此答案选b项：她受到了不公正的对待。答案b2watson was angry with franklin because she_.a. took the lead in the competitionb. kept her results from himc. proved some of his findings wrongd. shared her data with other scientists解析逻辑推理题。从第五段前两句可知，franklin直言不讳地指出他们犯的错误，这引起了watson的不满。答案选c。答案c3why is franklin described as “dark lady of dna” ?a. she developed pictures in dark labs.b. she discovered the black x the shape of dna.c. her name was forgotten after her death.d. her contribution was unknown to the public.解析逻辑推理题。从全文可知，作者认为franklin的贡献被忽略掉了，她的贡献理应得到人们的承认。所以答案选d。答案d4what is the writers attitude toward wilkins ，watson and crick?a. disapproving.b. respectful.c. admiring. d. doubtful.解析态度推测题。从全文知，作者肯定了franklin的贡献，对另外三个科学家的行为表示“不满，不赞成”，所以答案选a。答案athis was no ordinary class. the students who came together were all science or engineering professors at cornell university. they had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” this class was part of a study to answer the questions: why is science difficult for many nonscience students? what can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?the students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. they had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. all students noticed one thingthe importance of spoken words. in science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. but in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. they didnt write anything on the board.the scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. in both subjects, students need to find layers(层次) of meaning. some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface；other layers are deeper and more difficult. this search for different levels of meaning doesnt happen much in undergraduate (本科) science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. and it is always important in humanities(人文学科)both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. one poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful，clear definitions (定义)when he explains a poem. he also plans to be more informative as he teaches. most of the scientists agreed on several points. first, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. second, the poetry class was fun. one engineer decided, “we need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”but perhaps the most important result of the experience was this：all of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.5. what do we know about this unusual class?a. the teachers did lots of writing on the board.b. the teachers were invited to attend several lectures.c. the students were professors from a university.d. the students were studying science and humanities.解析细节理解题。根据“this was no ordinary class.the students who came together were all science or engineering professors at cornell university”可知c项正确。答案c6. the experiment was designed to find out_.a. how to teach the students in the science classb. whether poetry is difficult for science studentsc. what to
