While the news has made the Chinese people have national pride, it has also highlighted differences in prize-awarding practices between China and the world.Tu, a researcher at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, shared the 2015 Nobel Prize for Medicine with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan. Campbell and Omura were honored for their anti-roundworm treatment, while Tu came up with a new drug for Malaria（疟疾）.When news broke that Tu was being awarded the prize, there were cheers as well as doubts. Some said the achievement was the result of collective efforts by lots of Chinese scientists, so it is unfair to award the prize only to Tu, China Youth Daily reported. Indeed, Chinese science awards are mainly presented to projects, instead of individual scientists. But Western awards tend to honor individual scientists who are the first to come up with a new idea or method, said Li Zhenzhen, a researcher with the China Academy of Sciences. The West believes that the progress of science originates from individuals creative minds, said Li. Awarding prizes to scientists with creative ideas is the source of national innovation, Li suggested. The key is to create fair rules to find the most convincing candidate.（1）Which field did Tu win the Nobel Prize?A . Literature.B . Maths.C . Physics.D . Science.（2）How many people won the 2015 Noble Prize for Medicine?A . Only one.B . Two.C . Three.D . Four.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A . Tu was the first to come up with a new idea in her project team.B . All people said its fair to award the prize only to Tu.C . Chinese science awards are usually presented to individual scientists.D . Western awards usually honor projects.（4）You can probably read the passage in a(n) _.A . fashion magazineB . story bookC . science reportD . advertisement四、 单词拼写。 (共2题；共20分)20. （10分）词汇运用We saw so many famous stars in the new film called The Founding of a Party (建党伟业)_.(激动)What an _ trip we had in such bad weather!
