A
Some young people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability. A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among the latter. In 2018, 13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AI technology to help pancreatic(胰腺的 cancer patients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge, a nationwide middle-school science competition, and its $25,000 prize.
In the last stage of the contest, Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心 in St.Paul,Minnesota. Leading up to the big meet, each finalist had partnered with a scientist to further develop their inventions.
Rishab explains what led him to create his invention. First,a family friend died of cancer. Then Rishab learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. "I'm also into programming, so I was learning about AI technology. I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it."
His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society, which helps poor children enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math education. Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age. Considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor一or both, he has also put some money aside to further his own learning. Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.
That's an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rashib is committed to helping very sick people in need. He is also providing teenagers of his age with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can achieve. 1. What can we learn about the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2018? A. It was intended to solve medical problems. B. It was a nationwide AI competition for teenagers.
C. It offered the finalists an opportunity to work with scientists. D. It allowed the finalists to learn AI technology in the 3M center. 2. How did Rishab win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge? A.He showed excellent programming ability.

B. He figured out the survival rate of pancreatic cancer. C. He introduced poor children to STEM education. D. He applied AI technology to treating pancreatic cancer. 3. Which of the following best describes Rishab?
A. Talented and caring. B. Independent and humorous. C. Responsible and patient. D. Polite and inspiring.
B
To show empathy is to identify with another’s feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place of another. The ability to empathize is directly dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.
If you have never felt a certain feeling, it will be hard for you to understand how another person is feeling. If you have never put your hand in a flame, you will not know the pain of fire. If you have not experienced jealousy, you will not understand its power.Readingabout a feeling and intellectually knowing about it is very different than actually experiencing it for yourself.
Among those with an equal level of emotional intelligence, the person who has actually experienced the widest range and variety of feelings — the great depths of depression and the heights of fulfillment, for example, — is the one who is most able to empathize. On the other hand, when we say that someone “can’t relate” to other people, it is likely because they haven’t experienced, acknowledged or accepted many feelings of their own.
Once you have felt discriminated against, for example, it is much easier to relate with someone else who has been discriminated against. Our innate emotional intelligence gives us the ability to quickly recall those instances and form associations when we encounter discrimination again. We then can use the “reliving” of those emotions to guide our thinking and actions. This is one of the ways nature slowly evolves towards a higher level of survival.
For this process to work, the first step is that we must be able to experience our own emotions. This means we must be open to them and not distract ourselves from them or try to numb ourselves from our feelings through drugs, alcohol, etc.
Next, we need to become aware of what we are actually feeling — to acknowledge, identify, and accept our feelings. Only then can we empathize with others. That is one reason why it is important to work on your own emotional awareness and sensitivity — in other words, to be “in touch with” your feelings. 4. How does the author explain the feelings of empathy? A. By giving examples. B. By having classification. C. By making comparison. D. By providing data.

5. Which statement may the author agree with?
A. Low level of empathy leads to fewer varieties of feelings. B. The deeper one’s feelings are, the more empathetic one is. C. Empathy is a way we recently picked up for better survival. D. Rich experiences may not go with a high level of empathy. 6. What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs of the text? A. To advise a sincere attitude to one’s experiences. B To suggest a right understanding of empathy. C. To require a realbond with one’s emotions. D. To call for true acceptance of one’s feelings. 7. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Empathy Unfolds B. Be Open to Your Emotions C. Why Is Empathy Important D. Accept Your True Self
C
The American poet Louise Gluck, author of 12 collections of poetry, has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Born inNew Yorkin 1943, Gluck published her first volume of poetry, “Firstborn”, in 1968, quickly gaining her reputation as a poet. In the decades since, she has become one of the country's most celebrated literary figures. Her work uses the power of myth to deal with some of our darkest human concerns. Her straightforward language always gets at the heart of deep-seated anxieties: loneliness, rejection, death ...
Stephanie Burt,an English professor atHarvardUniversity, said, “She's someone who's been able to make emotion states vivid on the page... Few poets have tried as hard as she has not to repeat herself. And her strongest books are really different from one another”. “She offers poetry lovers a lot of inspiration, but she's also on a lot of bookshelves," said Chiasson, a poet, who added she is a generous reader of her fellow writers’work.
At Yale, where Gluck is a professor of English, she served for years as judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize and worked closely with poets she chose for the prize and those she did not, helping them shape their work. “In that very practical way she's had an enormous influence on a great many figures,” said Langdon Hammer, a professor of English at Yale. “She's someone who has been a 'guiding spirit’ for generations of students, writers, and readers.”
Gluck described teaching and writing as symbiotic. “I teach not out of selflessness or generosity: I do it because it feeds me,” she said. “It feeds them, too, so it's a happy relationship. I'm sure not all my students feel
that way, but some do. I never feel that it takes me from my work: I think it gives me my work.” 8. Which of the following topics might Gluck tend to explore in her work? A. Victory. B. Divorce. C. Romance. D. Achievement.
9. What quality does Gluck have according to the passage?
A. Humorous and intelligent. B. Ambitious and helpful. C. Considerate and optimistic. D. Inspiring and creative. 10. What does teaching mean to Gluck?
A. A source of wealth. B. A barrier to writing. C. A fountain of creation. D. A stepping stone to fame. 11. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Guiding Spirit B. A Successful Pioneer C. An Adventurous Creator D. A Hardworking Writer
D
Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,”he says.
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to ask Eric Catalano, a tattoo artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”
Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, and it eventually was viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people who want to cover their life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop.
Leslie Pollan, a dog breeder, was bitten on the face by a puppy. She underwent countless surgeries but those gave her no hope. She ultimately traveled six hours for a session with Catalano. HecamouflagedPollan’s lip scar, giving her back confidence.
Though he is now known for his talent with intricate fingernail, Catalano uses the techniques he picked up years ago while helping breast cancer survivors. Those tattoos are among the most common paramedical requests. His grandmother had breast cancer, and her battle with the disease is one reason Catalano is so dedicated to helping those with the diagnosis.

Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos each “Wellness Wednesday”. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn’t charge for paramedical tattoos: A GoFundMe page established last year brought in more than $16,000, allowing Catalano to donate his work.
“Financially, it doesn’t make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see emotions from my customers, I am 100 percent sure this is something that I can’t stop doing.” 12. How did people in the studio react to Bertram’s idea at first? A. They took it lightly. B. They found it creative. C. They were confused. D. They were impressed.
13. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Exposed. B. Hid. C. Ignored. D. Removed. 14. What does Catalano say about his work with paramedical tattoos?
A. It is flexible. B. It is demanding. C. It is profitable. D. It is rewarding.
15. Which of the following can best describe Catalano?
A. Humorous and experienced. B. Devoted and generous. C. Cooperative and grateful. D. Professional and tolerant. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

It cannot tell us much about the Chinese. On the other hand, it do tell us a lot about Americans. Tired, hungry, and not knew a word of Chinese, we had no idea how to order.
With this, we had the pleasure of experiencing an entire new taste: Sichuan peppercorns.
As result, their traditional foods are what you can cook over an open fire—usually boiled or roasted meat. In fact, one of the largest shopping mall in North America is in Edmonton.
They went through two wheat-growing provinces, which they saw quantities of farms covering a large area. The cousins chatted with Lin Fei, that had moved to Canada many years earlier.
