AGary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a store owned by their father. After the father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register(收银台）. But when he returned, the money was gone.Gary then asked his brother Gavin, “Did you see that twent y-dollar bill on the cash register?’ Gavin said that he had not. But Gary did not let it go and keptasking. “Twenty-dollar bills can’t walk away by themselves! Surely you must have seen it.” “I said I didn’t see it!” Gavin replied with anger.The quarrel divided the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, hostility(敌意）never ended.One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, “How long have you bee n here?” Gary replied that he’d been there all his life. “Then you are the person I’m looking for,” the man said. “Twenty years ago, I was totally broke and hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I haven’t been able to forget that. I had to come back and apologize for that.The stranger felt shocked when seeing tears well up in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. “Would you please go next door and tell th e same story to the man in the store?” Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more--after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and cried together in the front of the wall of the store.After twenty years, the wall that separated them finally came down.26. Why was Gavin angry?A. Because he was not trusted by his brother.B. Because he got little money from his father.C. Because Gary took away his twenty-dollar bill.D.

Gary.D. Gavin.29. What does the underlined word “broke” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Surprised.B. Afraid.C. Sad.D. Poor.30. We can learn from the last sentence of the passage that_________________A.

It found that an average Chinese walker ran out of patience at red lights after 90 seconds. But there’s an interesting fact: the average German’s endurance ability(耐性） was around 60 seconds while the British only 45 seconds and the American 40 seconds.People will take no notice of the red lights when the waiting time exceeds(超过) their patience time. “A lot of Chinese traffic lights are ca r-friendly instead of walker-friendly,” said Ni Ying, who led the research team. As there are more and more car users in the city, city planners are giving them more convenience on the roads, according to her.The study also found that at some crossings, walkers waited longer than 150 seconds, and at other crossings the wait could be as long as 200 seconds. However, most red lights abroad do not exceed 120 seconds.The study suggested that planners should think about the walking pace(步幅）of people from different age groups, especially middle-aged people and seniors, in order to make the roads more walker-friendly. But the city’s traffic police do not agree. They argue that the roads are built not just for the walkers, but also for cars. “To give more time for walkers would cut down the time for cars,” a trafficpoliceman said. “On a busy traffic day, it can make traffic worse.”31. Who are the most patient among the people from four different countries?A. The Chinese.B. The German.C. The British.D. The American32. According to the passage, Chinese walkers walk the red light because________A. they are not afraid of the traffic police.B. they are not friendly to car users.C. there is often something wrong with the red lights.D. the waiting time at the crossings is too long.33. What does “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. City planners.B. Walkers.C. Car users.D. The research team.34. How could roads become more friendly to walkers according to the study?A. By taking away the traffic lights.B. By making the roads wider and look nicer.C. By changing the waiting time according to people’s walking pace.D. By stopping the middle-aged people from walking across the roads.35. Which of the following will the traffic police agree with?A. It’s right to give more time to walkers.B. Reducing time for car users will make traffic worse.C. We should encourage people to walk instead of driving.D. We should build more roads to meet the need of different people.COn October5, Tu Youyou, 84, became the first Chinese to win a Nobel Prize in natural science. She is only the12th woman in history to be awarded the honor.Tu was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China on 30 December 1930. She once studied at Xiaoshi Middle School and Ningbo Middle School. Her teacher said that Tu liked reading books and she was very hard-working. From 1951 to 1955, she attended Beijing Medical College. Later Tu was trained for two and a half years in traditional Chinese medicine.Tu was given the award for her discovery of artemisinin(青蒿素), which has been developed to fight against malaria(疟疾). When Tu started her search in the late 1960s, over 240,000 compounds（化合物） around the world had already been tested, without any success.

One former colleague, Liao Fuming, who has worked with Tu for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn(固执）woman.”Tu is stubborn enough to spend many years putting ancient texts together and use them in modern scientific practices. The result is millions of lives saved."She has done wonderful contribution to the world with her work, she really deserves it! It's a blessing for the Chinese people, as it is for the world!" Mats Wahlgren, member of the Nobel Assembly said.36. How old was Tu Youyou when she graduated from Beijing Medical College?A. 12 years old.B. 21 years old.C. 25 years old.D. 28 years old.37.
