选项
答案 J
解析 空格所在句的主语为Franklin’s contributions，主语后面的to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our time和including the structure of DNA均为后置定语，修饰主语。空格位于谓语were sadly______中，因此应填入动词的过去分词构成被动语态或者填入形容词。[语义判断]空格所在句的主干指出，说来遗憾，富兰克林的贡献在她的一生中都被______了。空格前的sadly表示“不幸地，遗憾地”，有负面含义。备选项中的overlooked填入空格，表示她的贡献被忽视了，符合句意，故为答案。
