ARosalind Franklin always liked facts. She was logical and precise, and impatient with things that were otherwise. She decided to become a scientist when she was 15. She passed the examination for admission to Cambridge University in 1938, and it sparked a family crisis. Although her family was well-to-do and had a tradition of public service and charity, her father disapproved of universityeducation for women. He refused to pay. An aunt stepped in andsaid Franklin should go to school, and she would pay for it.Franklin’s mother also took her side until her father finally gave in.She was invited to King’s College in London to join a team of scientists. The leader of the team assigned her to work on DNAwith a graduate student. Franklin’s assumption（设想）was that itwas her own project. The laboratory’s second-in-command,Maurice Wilkins, was on vacation at the time, and when hereturned, their relationship was puzzling. He assumed she was to assist his work; she assumed she’d be the only one working on DNA. They had powerful personality differences as well: Franklin direct, quick, decisive（果断的）, and Wilkins shy, hesitant, and passive.In 1953, Wilkins changed the course of DNA history by disclosing（公开）, without Franklin’s permission, her Photo 51 to competing scientist James Watson, who was working on his own DNA model with Francis Crick at Cambridge. Upon seeing the photograph, Watson said, “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race,”according to author Brenda Maddox who wrote the book Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA.The two scientists did in fact use what they saw in Photo 51 as the basis for their famous model of DNA, which they published on March 7, 1953, and for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1962. Crick and Watson were also able to take most of the credit for the finding: they included a footnote acknowledging that they were “stimulated（刺激、鼓励）by a general knowledge”of Franklin’s and Wilkin’s unpublished contribution, when much of their work was rooted in Franklin’s photo and findings. Franklin didn’t know that these men based their article on her research, and she didn’t complain either, likely as a result of her upbringing（教养）. Franklin “didn’t do anything that would invite criticism… (that was) bred into her,” Maddox said.21. Wilkins’ relationship with Franklin was characterized by __________.A. unity and harmonyB. confusion and competitionC. cooperation and miscommunicationD. misunderstanding and conflict22. What does Watson mean by saying “My jaw fell open and my pulse began torace”?A. He was confused that Crick had not made this discovery.B. He was surprised that Wilkins had discovered this information.C. He was satisfied with the importance of Photo 51.D. He was anxious about the progress Wilkins and Franklin had made.23. What is Brenda Maddox’s main intention according to the quote in the lastparagraph?A. To re-evaluate the importance of the DNA model.B. To criticize King’s College and Cambridge.C. To emphasize Franklin’s importance in science.D. To deny Watson’s and Crick’s contribution to science.24. Franklin’s career as a scientist demonstrates （证明）_________.A. that her work was pointing at the most difficult problemB. that she was the only female scientist during the periodC. the importance of DNA in modern scienceD. that perseverance leads to success and recognition of field scientistsBThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day26. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .A. eight times a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. twice a day27. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.28. The text probably comes from .A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book reviewD. an official documentCRobotic PuppyRoll over, sit and fetch aren’t commands normally given to a robot, but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy.CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes andpointy （尖的）ears and can sit, shake, dance and make alltypes of dog noises. It also has tracking capabilities to helplocate its owner. “The beauty about CHIP is that it has its ownthing going on,” said Sufer, CTO at WowWee. “It has its ownlife and own kind of intelligence. Even if you’re not around,it’s always doing something.”CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball. The pup is Bluetooth enabled, which connects to a wristband worn by its owner. The wristband, similar to a watch, displays icons（图标）for different commands such as a thumb-up, which allows you to give your pup（小狗）a digital belly rub. With its owner wearing a smart wristband, it can even follow him around the room.“We worked on CHIP for about five to six months,” Davin Sufer, told , “We typically come up with a concept, model and product and get it on shelves within a year.” The company plans to start ship ping units by next fall, which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity.The high-tech toy company made its debut（处女作）in 2004 by releasing the 1.5 foot RoboSapien, which sold millions of units. MiP, which hit shelves last year, is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents. Users can direct it, change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad. It’s loud, fast and active.About 15 years ago, a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog---Tekno, the Robotic Puppy. The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production. Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions, but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.29. According to Sufer, the amazing characteristic of CHIP is that _____.A. it is loaded with special sensorsB. it can make all kinds of dog noisesC. it has quick response to the commandsD. it can do something without instructions30. CHIP can follow its owner with the help of_____.A. a watchB. a smart wristbandC. pointy earsD. blue LED eyes31. From the passage, we can know_______.A. CHIP can be bought in the store nowB. WowWee introduced its first product last yearC. Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppyD. MiP is the first company to develop the robotic puppyDA Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.An electromagnetic field（电磁场）will pull particles（微粒）in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.“It's li ke when you have a balloon which has static（静电）and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated（复制）outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”“We'll be able to purify（净化）the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.32. The device works by _______.A. helping keep the particles out with more masksB. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic fieldC. absorbing hair with a balloon with staticD. creating clean air and let it out into the sky33. According to the passage, ______ .A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in BeijingB. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoorsC. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectableD. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution34. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a goodplace…... ”?A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.35. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finallyB. invent more devices to clean the smog in BeijingC. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesD. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
