a black x. but three of these people won the nobel prize for figuring out what the photo really showedthe shape of dna. the discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists james watson, francis crick, and maurice willkins. 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 photo hadnt been there, the others couldnt 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 scholar doubt that franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitions. at cambridge university in the 1950s, watson and crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of dnas parts and then putting them together. in the meantime, at kings college in london, franklin and wilkins shone x-rays 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 x-ray 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 abir-am. 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 “franklins 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 co-discoverer,” abir-am 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. 57. what 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. 58. watson was angry with franklin because she _. a. took the lead in the competition b. kept her results from him c. proved some of his findings wrong d. shared her data with other scientists 59. why is franklin described as “dark lady of dna”? a. she developed pictures in dark labs. b. she discovered the black x- the shape of

inborn ability.b. a sense of humor can be developed in our life.c. a sense of humor helps us from several aspects.d. a sense of humor means more than telling jokes.e. a sense of humor can be expressed in many ways.f. a sense of humor helps people to better enjoy life.1. _ as awareness of the benefits of humor increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. it seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humor to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way.2. _ many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humor. they think that when it comes to a sense of humor, “either youve got it or you dont.” this is false. what is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. for example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.3. _ the parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humor. (after all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we dont rush over and say, “that kid has a great sense of humor.”) your sense of humor is something you can develop over a lifetime. dont be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourselfthen you will make them laugh too.4. _ humor includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. more than jokes, a sense of humor requires being willing and able to see the funny side of lifes situations as they happen. in fact, one of the best definition of a sense of humor is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation”.5._ there may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humor, but joke telling is only one of those ways. as more is discovered about how humor benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humor when they are in a difficult situation. life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humor.五 、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共30分）write an english composition according to he instructions given below in chinese.假设你参加所在年级的英文写作比赛，请按如下要求完成一篇短文：1.简要描述下图的内容，并点明主题；2.联系实际，谈谈出现此现象的原因及解决办法。注意：1.词数不少于120个；2.不能使用真实姓名和学校。提示词：蜗牛snail一 、单项填空【考点】考察非谓语动词用法【答案】a【解析】本题考察的是分词做状语用法。动词spend与句子主语we构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以使用现在分词spending的形式，而本句中spend all our money是发生在谓语动词之前的，所以使用现在分词的完成式having spent。句义：几乎把所有的钱都花完了，我们没有钱住宾馆了。b项通常在句中做目的状语。cd项表示被动。故a正确。解析：考查介词短语。句意为：很多人认为饥饿只是发展中国家的问题。相反，这是全世界的问题。for one thing首先，其一(用来列举理由)；in addition另外，除此之外；as well还；on the contrary正相反。根据句意可知应选d。答案：d解析：根据前半部分句意“用现金付钱对这个国家的人来说是一个传统”可知，第一空是泛指“传统”；第二空为固定短语in cash(用现金)。答案：b答案：b考查代词辨析。句意为：几乎90%最流行的电子游戏都包含暴力，而且大部分都极其暴力。much of意为“大部分，许多”，修饰不可数名词。题干中it指代violence，为不可数名词。故答案选b。a动词短语辨析。take off “(飞机，事业)起飞”；get off离开；动身；下车、马等”；turn off关掉；拐弯”；come off “成功；举行；发生”。二 、完形填空参考答案 36c 37b 38d 39b 40d 41b 42c 43a 44b 45c 46a 47b 48d 49a 50c 51d 52a 53c 54a 55d三 、阅读理解57【答案】b。 【解析】主旨大意题。全文这要讲的是科学家franklin在dna的研究上做出了巨大的贡献，但是却没有得到相应的回报，所以正确答案为b。 58【答案】c。 【解析】细节判断题。第五段话前两行表明该题的正确答案为:c。 59【答案】d。 【解析】推理判断题。科学家franklin在dna的研究上做出了巨大的贡献，但是却没有得到相应的回报。第二
