2010英语阅读理解：人物传记类第一部分五年高考题荟萃Passage 1(09·浙江E篇)Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 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 Ma ry 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 Click 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 Londo n, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflection the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s 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 sugges ted that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to to go or be put in her place.”As Franklin’s 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 “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 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 competitionB. kept her results from himC. proved some of his findings wrongD. shared her data with other scientists59.

Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success-you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate.

He,not the Tsar,is the one to make the terms.He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped,“That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!”he shouts.And then,Tolstoy writes,Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room,his fat shoulders moving quickly.”Still later,after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds,Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner.“He raised his hand to the Russian’s...face,” Tolstoy writes,and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently...”.To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court.“Well,well,why don’t you say anything?”said he,as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself,Napoleon.Tolstoy did his research,but the composition is his own.51.Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is .A.far from the historical factsB.based on the Russian historyC.based on his selection of factsD.not related to historical details52.Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because .A.he thought he should be the one to make the peace termsB.the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to acceptC.the Russians stopped his military movementD.he didn’t have any more army to fight with53.What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?A.To walk out of the room in anger.B.To show agreement with him.C.To say something about the Tsar.D.To express his admiration.54.Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is .A.ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guestsB.fond of showing off his iron willC.determined in destroying all of EuropeD.crazy for power and respect55.What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A.A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.B.A writer may write about a hero in his own way.C.A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.D.A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.答案51.B 52.C 53.B 54.A 55.B。

He struggled to settle down and find a wife, and gradually he became more and more withdrawn.(孤僻)His mother’s death when he was 40 came as a big blow.(打击) He shut himself off from the world until 2004, when a restaurant owner invited him to serve as a greeter for 10 days, and his extraordinary presence at the door quickly attracted attention from the press.In late 2004, the local newspaper applied to Guinness for Bao to be listed as the tallest man living in the world. As he was 0.2 cm taller than the record holder Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, he was awarded the title.On July 21, 2005, Bao got the Guinness certificate in his hometown and was invited to London in September for a Guinness global activity.Despite the trappings of fame, Bao remains shy: “I want to live a normal life like my father, who is 94.〞Bao spends his mornings walking and afternoons playing cards with his neighbours, occasionally reading some Mongolian (蒙古语)books.But there is also some excitement in his life: Bao now has a girlfriend, whom he hopes to marry.- 1 - / 1。
