27、Four Women Scientists Who Influenced the Theory of Evolution
Rosalind Franklin (1920—1958)
Rosalind Franklin was born in London in 1920. Franklin’s main contribution to evolution came in the form of helping discover the structure of DNA. Her pictures proved the structure was a sort of twisted ladder shape called a double helix (螺旋结构). Without Franklin’s contribution, Watson and Crick would not have been able to come up with their paper about the structure of DNA. Rosalind Franklin died of cancer so she was not awarded a Nobel Prize for her work.
Mary Leakey (1913—1996)
Mary Leakey studied anthropology (人类学) at University College London. She went on many digs during summer breaks and eventually met her husband Louis Leakey after working together on a book project. Together, they discovered one of the first nearly complete human ancestor skulls (头骨) in Africa. The ape-like ancestor belonged to the Australopithecus (南方右猿) genus and had used tools.
Mary Anning (1799—1847)
Mary Anning, who lived in England, thought of herself as a simple “fossil collector”. However, her discoveries became much more than that. When only 12 years old, Anning helped her father dig up an ichthyosaur skull (鱼龙头骨). The family lived in the Lyme Regis region that had a landscape that was ideal for fossil creation. Throughout her life, Mary Anning discovered many fossils of all types that helped paint a picture of life in the past.
Barbara McClintock (1902—1992)
Barbara McClintock was born in Hartford, Connecticut and went to school in Brooklyn, New York. After high school, Barbara attended Cornell University and studied agriculture. It was there she found a love of genetics and began her long career and research on parts of chromosomes (染色体). McClintock also was the first to describe how chromosomes control which genes are expressed or turned off. She went on to win a Nobel Prize for her work.

28、In its best times on the nineteenth century, thatch (茅草屋顶) played an important role in protecting British homes from the weather. But new technologies since have led to a rapid decline in thatching and many of the thatched cottages that remain have been changed beyond all recognition by developers or have run into disrepair, a rather upsetting reminder of a bygone age.
A Welsh company, however, is trying to breathe new life into some of the last traditional thatched cottages in western Wales by repairing them and letting them out as holiday homes. Called “Under the Thatch”, the company is run by Greg Stevenson, who lives in his own thatched cottage in Ceredigion. An architectural historians by training, he repairs old buildings in old-fashioned ways.
All the cottages are in attractive locations around southwest Wales. Unlike most holiday homes, the cottages are let all year round---chiefly because Greg prices them lower than many holiday properties( 房屋) and he’d prefer that properties are rented just above cost price than not used at all. And with that comes a bargain or two: it’s common for a property to go for as little as£35 a night. Consequently occupancy for properties with “ Under the Thatch” is at 95 percent( the average in Wales is 35 percent)
Its success has meant that Greg has been able to buy up more old cottages and bring them back into the community. Greg has also diversified from offering only thatched cottages: he now lets out a variety of rare accommodations dotted around western styles , including a renovated(修复的) train carriage and two gypsy caravans which were used by Romanies.
Most of his thirty properties are run using environmentally friendly technologies. Including solar panels and recycled furnishings. But most importantly, what the cottages all have in common is that they bring back life to local communities. Spend a weekend “Under the Thatch” rather than in a holiday home, buy local food and visit nearby restaurants, and you will be contributing to the local economy.
【1】How does the author sound when talking about thatched cottages in Paragraph 1?
A.Excited
B.Afraid
C.Sorry
D.Humorous
【2】What is the main reason for the success of “Under the Thatch”?

【3】Beside thatched cottages, what does Greg’s company provide?
A.Design plans for modern cottages.
B.Other uncommon styles of holiday homes.
C.Environmentally friendly technologies.
D.Advice on developing the local economy.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Buy Up Traditional Thatched Cottages.
B.Protect British Homes from the weather.
C.Spend a Weekend Under the Thatch.
D.Bring Properties Back into the Community.
29、Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician at NASA, began working on the space program in the 1950s. Many of NASA's first missions were made possible by her amazing calculations(计算).
As a child, she loved to count. Her father placed great importance on education and insisted all four of his children go to college, working overtime to pay for it. Johnson said this atmosphere was important to her success. “I was always around people who were learning something. I liked to learn.” she said.
Johnson graduated from high school at 14 and college at 18. In 1953, Johnson started to work for NASA, doing the math that powered engineers' work. Then, because of her outstanding talent, she was moved to work on rockets with an all-male flight research team. As for Johnson, her calculations contributed to many of NASA's most important projects. In 1961, with the help of Johnson's work, Alan Shepherd became the first American to go into space. Johnson also lent her unbelievable talent to the success of the Apollo 13, which had trouble getting back to the Earth. She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to the Earth for the astronauts.
Johnson retired in 1986, but her huge contribution to the space program has only been reaching the public attention for the past few years. Part of that is because, as she is the first to admit, science is based on collaboration. “I never took any credit because we always worked as a team, it was never just one person,” she said in a 2010 interview.
Earlier this year, NASA named a new data center after her. She was also given a Silver Snoopy award, which recognizes “outstanding performance, contributing to flight safety and mission success.”
【1】The author explains Johnson's help to NASA by ________.
A.comparing differences
B.providing examples
C.showing numbers
D.giving reasons
【2】What does the underlined word “collaboration” in Paragraph 4 mean?

B.Research.
C.Teamwork.
D.Talent.
【3】What can we infer from the passage about Johnson?
A.She travelled to space with the Apollo.
B.She lived a rich life when she was young.
C.She has been widely-known since her retirement.
D.She used to be the only lady in the research team.
