The Young Man 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 F The police find most criminals because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery, the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to these robbers who are not in prison. They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber. Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crime like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it. Everyone's DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the suspect to give them his hair or some blood and see whether it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidence. 73. How do the police find most criminals?(不超过10个词) _ 74. What is the first thing the police do when a bank robbery happens?(不超过20个词) _ 75. Why can the police find criminals through DNA and fingerprints?(不超过10个词) _ _ 第四部分 写(两大题,25分) 九、单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分, 共5分) 76. She was the o_(唯一的)woman who attended the weekly meeting. 77.
