"The consequences in terms of improved human health and reduced suffering are immeasurable. "
In an interview after the announcement, Juleen R. ZAierath, chairman of the Nobel Committee told Xinhua that Tu’s “inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine” was important.

The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a 1968 Ford Capri for a graduation present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles. One Sunday night, thinking myself a very independent gown-up, I left my uncle’s place in South Laguna after a visit, without admitting to him that I had less than an eighth of a tank of gas and no cash to buy more on the way to L.A. I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the needle move down as I headed north. When the engine started giving off strong smells, I pulled into a gas station. There was no self-serve then; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.
I begged the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, I said, or I could sleep in my car and try to walk to a town with a bank the next morning. As he was informing me that I could sleep in my car but he’d have me arrested, a station wagon pulled up to the next pump. The driver—a thin, plain, middle-aged guy—overheard the tail end of my failed request. As the attendant went to serve him, he nodded at me. “Fill her tank first,” he said.
“Really?” I said. Hope bloomed. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two bucks’ worth. I just need to get home.”
“Fill it,” he repeated to the attendant. Then he turned to me, “You’ll do the same one day, for someone else.”
25. When the author found he was short of gas he was _______.
A. on the way to South Laguna
B. in South Laguna
C. on the way to Los Angeles
D. in Los Angeles
26. The author had hoped that the gas station attendant would allow him to pay _____.
A. in cash
B. by check
C. by credit
D. nothing
27. What do you think of the attendant in the station?
A. Generous
B. Considerate
C. Cold-hearted
D. Absnet-minded
28.What happened to the author in the end?
A. He slept in his car
B. He walked back to L.A
C. Police arrested him
D. A stranger helped him
C
Cockroaches(蟑螂) are the most unpleasant of all insects. Seemingly large and fast, and they live in the most disgusting conditions.
It’s no wonder the first reaction of many to seeing a cockroach is to try to destroy it, and few would drop a tear at the thought of the entire species dying out.
But, of course, things are not so simple. Unpleasant though they are, according to biologists the ill-famed cockroach is essential to the survival of the planet’s delicate ecosystem.
According to Srini Kambhampati, professor and chairman of the biology department at the University of Texas, the disappearance of cockroaches would play havoc with the nitrogen cycle.
As a leading expert on roaches, he said: “Most cockroaches feed on rotten organic matter, which traps a lot of nitrogen. Cockroach feeding has the effect of releasing that nitrogen （in their waste）which then gets into the soil and is used by plants. In other words, extinction of cockroaches would have a big impact on forest health and therefore indirectly on all the species that live there.”
The professor also warned that the Earth’s 5,000 to 10,000 cockroach species are also an important source of food for many birds and small mammals like mice and rats.
In turn, these killers themselves are food of many other species like cats, wolves and snakes, as well as eagles and other big birds.
Any cut to the number of cockroaches would thus have a harmful effect on the wellbeing of all these species that could have a destroying effect on wildlife across that world.
Of course, there’s not much chance of a cockroach extinction level event happening any time soon. Still, although it was once believed that they would be one of the few creatures to survive even a nuclear Third World War, that idea has since been considered untrue.
29. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The hated cockroach is essential to the survival of the planet’s delicate ecosystem.
B. The cockroach is a harmful species which is expected to die out in the near future.
C. Nobody will feel sad at the fact that the entire species of cockroach is dying out.
D. Let’s destroy cockroaches without mercy because they polluted the environment.
30. From what Professor Kambhampati said in Paragraph 5, we can learn that _______.
A. cockroaches eat rotten organic matter to get nitrogen
B. nitrogen can make the soil suitable for plants to grow
C. cockroaches’ dying out directly destroy all the species
D. plants benefit from cockroaches’ getting into the soil
31. Which of the following belong to “these killers” in Paragraph 7?
A. Cockroaches. B. Mice and rats. C. Cats and wolves. D. Snakes and eagles.
32. We can infer from the last paragraphs that ________.
A. cockroaches can survive a nuclear war
B. cockroaches might cause a world war
C. cockroaches will never be extinct at all
D. cockroaches also need to be protected
D
